Alex’s at the Loft Hotel: Uniquely Fusion BY VICTORIA REBELLO Located inside The Loft Hotel, in the busy Yaw Min Gyi Street, Alex ’s is a fusion restaurant that expertly combines Western and Asian influences, originating unique creations you will not find anywhere else. As starters, we ordered the traditional Warm Goat Cheese Salad (13US$), featuring high-quality cheese imported directly from France, attentively paired with apple confit, caramelized nuts and mustard dressing – an interesting mix of sweet, salty and a touch of sour. The showstopper, nevertheless, was the Foie Gras (24U$S): pan seared duck liver, served with cherry chutney, red wine truffle sauce and homemade brioche. The Foie is presented whole, in a very generous serving, with a rich, buttery flavor – very well complemented by the acidity present in the choice of sauce and chutney. For mains, we tried the Duck Breast (18U$S) and the Sweet potato, mango chutney, green curry sauce and lotus chips ravioli (11U$S). Stuffed with Parma ham, the duck breast was accompanied by lumpy mashed potatoes and poultry sauce, and featured a perfectly thin layer of fat between the crunchy skin and the meat itself, indicating the duck was cooked to perfection. The Ravioli was a great surprise, with the bitterness of the mango chutney acting as a great counterpart to the dulcet pasta and sweet potato, leaving a very zesty aftertaste. The unique choice and combination of ingredients – the European influence present in the pasta, challenged by the ever-so-asian green curry sauce wins Alex`s the award of a truly fusion cuisine. A must-try! Our chosen deserts were the Tarte Tatin (6.5U$S), beautifully presented and very soft and juicy, as well as the Coeur Coulant, or Chocolate Lava Cake (6U$S), a lush, full-bodied piece of chocolate heaven. Once the rainy season is over, Alex’s garden will be opened with sofas and live music, perfect for a good time with friends. Alex’s also offers great deals on set menus, it costs $10.50 (2 course), $12.50 (3 course),respectively. Come to Alex`s and experience bold flavour combinations where East meets West. Address: No. 33, Yaw min Gyi Street, Yangon Phone: 01 386 646 Opening Hours: 6:30AM – 10:00PM
"In Alex’s you will have the opportunity to experience a journey across Asian influences through your mouth, eyes and ears."

review
Rachel’s: a RoyaltyWorthy Experience BY VICTORIA REBELLO Dining at Rachel ’s goes beyond just having a meal – it is a true royaltyworthy experience, meticulously crafted to ‘wow’ you at every touch of sophistication. Walking into Rachel ’s is, in itself, a treat: the dimly-lit, peaceful environment of Kandawgyi Lake frames the city’s most iconic landmark, the Shwedagon Pagoda, and gives you the feeling of having it only for yourself. In the event of my visit, a fish scallop paired with truffle oil, sesame seeds, bean sprouts, pink pepper and edible flower petals was the grand-opener – and prepared me to the synesthetic experience offered by the combination of flavors, color, texture and aroma that composes every detail of the Rachel’s experience. As appetizers, the guest is presented with a selection of homemade bread and a variety of butter: démi-sel, truffled and sprinkled with Himalayan salt. Served sizzling warm in a glass dome, filled with a white mist of water droplets from the steaming pasta, the red beetroot juice ravioli (22US$) was the first appetizer of choice. The pasta is cooked al dente, or ‘to the teeth’ in italian, presenting a firm to the bite texture, contrasting well with the softness of the ricotta cheese filling, and nicely complemented by the chanterelles mushrooms emulsion sauce. The mushroom and truffle risotto (16US$) was cooked to perfection, despite being a bit on the unsalted side, and counted with a generous piece of black truffle – the well-known “diamond of the kitchen” – one of the most expensive edible fungi in the world. We tried the Angus Beef Ribeye straight from Rachel’s Grill (41US$), served with grilled vegetables and potatoes. Bred from the indigenous cattle of Scotland in the mid-nineteenth century, Angus Beef is well-known for developing better marbling than most cattle – the primary determination of quality grade for meat. Served very generously, the beef was tender and easy on the knife. Finally, the Warm Chocolate Fondant (13US$), served with vanilla ice cream and raspberry sauce, was dainty and rich. We also tried the Crispy Layered Pancake (9US$), filled with cream and glazed pineapple, basil and mint sugar cane syrup. Address: Kandawgyi Palace Hotel, Yangon Phone: 01 249 255
