review
Shan Kitchen BY MARIE STARR
Shan Kitchen is a step towards a more comfortable and clean dining experience than your average teashop without compromising on genuine Shan flavours. The décor of the restaurant is loyal to traditional local designs- cute Shan drums, bamboo hats and wicker baskets hang on the walls. Soft lighting and good air conditioning make all the difference. Nothing says ‘Shan food’ to me more clearly than that plate of golden triangles of crispy fried tofu. It was served piping hot and nicely crisp on the outside and with a zesty tamarind dipping sauce. We devoured it before the waiters had a chance to bring anything else to the table. Though Shan noodles are a dish typically eaten for breakfast, they are seriously satisfying any time of the day. We ordered them dry (as opposed to noodle soup) and were impressed with the freshness of the ingredients used. There were generous chunks of pork and not too much oil. The authentic and zesty pickle accompaniment brought another dimension of flavours to the noodles, just as it should. My company for this meal was a pork-expert friend and on his advice we ordered ‘crispy golden pork belly salad.’ It turned out to be the highlight of the meal. Served warm with a slightly sweet dressing, the pork rind is enticingly crisp and the ratio of meat to fat was spot on. This richness was perfectly balanced with fresh lime juice, tomato and mint. Next up was whole fish with lime. The meat was light and tender and flaked off the bone. The thin soup it was served in was like a party in my mouth- hot and sour with a fantastically peppery punch to nip the sides of the tongue and not overly fishy. Though no alcohol was on the menu, the orange and lime juices we ordered were refreshing and not overly sweet. All-in-all Shan Kitchen is an excellent representation of Shan cuisine and dishes are made with quality, authenticity and heart. 26/4, Nawaday Street, Dagon Township 09 775191772 Opening Hours: 8:00 AM — 10:00 PM
