review
UPTOWN PHO AT LANTERNS, A FINE DINING VIETNAMESE RESTAURANT AT THE MELIA HOTEL BY ANN POULTER Lanterns is quickly becoming a hub of Vietnamese deliciousness for quality food on the north side of town, as well as being the ideal respite after a bustling shopping day at Myanmar Plaza next door. Take your place under the hanging lanterns, an iconic memory of any visit to Vietnam, and watch the chefs at work behind a glass window to the kitchen. Alternatively two beautifully appointed private dining rooms satisfy your foodie hunger pangs for Vietnamese culinary delights behind closed doors. Their regular service of set lunch menus starts at USD 15 for two courses or USD 21 for three courses. The a la carte dinner dishes make Lanterns well suited for business and family celebrations alike. The menu is a mix of traditional Vietnamese dishes that you’ll be familiar with, as well as some more experimental dishes. Executive Chef Paul Wieser explains he has had 40% input on the menu, while his Vietnamese Chef Tran Van Chinh, brings over 15 years of experience to craft, a contemporary fusion menu from his home country of high quality, fresh ingredients. The reinterpreted classics reflect a modern fine–dining venue for eclectic palettes and are enjoyed here amidst the art deco interior. The result sees Melia Hotel’s fine dining menu boasting tasty herbs and vegetables, seafood, poultry, pork, and beef dishes to culminate the fine dining experience that is distinctly Lanterns. For most diners familiar with Vietnamese cuisine, it’s all about the pho. The vegetarian pho is packed with mushrooms and greens and is a regular order even for the meat-loving diners, while the beef pho doesn’t disappoint as it unfolds on the tongue. The signature sea bass dish was a personal favourite, served steamed in a banana leaf, topped with gravy and ginger, chilli, and mushrooms it’s extremely fresh and there’s a fantastic kaffir lime after taste. Leave room for dessert though, because the ginger crème brule with caramel ice cream is lip-smackingly good! This relatively new venue to the Melia Hotel has added something pretty special to Yangon’s uptown dining scene. Address: 192 Kaba Aye Pagoda Road, Township, Yangon 11201 Phone: 01 934 5002
