Paribawga: A Vegetarian Cafe inside a Cool Furniture Showroom BY MYANMORE & PHONE DEPAR MIN Paribawga, unique concept furniture showroom by Pun+Projects, introduces their new opening vegetarian café over the weekend.Located on Bogalay Zay street, Paribawga, which means “furniture” in Burmese, brings the coolness into food with the introduction of a concept of an upscale vegetarian small plates in a cool crafted furniture showroom. Paribawga showroom features exquisitely crafted Burmese furniture. Paribawga offers specialty bespoke furniture services for private individuals, companies, and designers. It aims to create custom furniture and installations for all types of spaces, with the goal of optimizing comfort, function and style. The new café inside includes nine dishes with tantalizing-sounding names on the menu and all come in premium prices, emphasized on high-quality fresh produce and organic flavors. We opted for Citrus Salad, as suggested by the showroom manager. It is formed of a generous splattering of Kachin Honey, Pistachios, Mint, Pomelo, Grape Fruit and last but not least Spinach. Superbly assembled, the salad itself was quite sweet with the sweetness being held in check by the utter freshness of the mint. Other interesting dishes include roasted asparagus frittata, made of pesto whipped ricotta, sriracha, avocado creama. And, risotto rosso consists of Gorgonzola, pear, percorini. For dessert lover, you should not miss Kachin honey ginger crème brûlée and coconut pana cotta. The prices range from 8,000 KS – 12,000 KS. The caffeine is also available, along with a diverse amount of fruit juices and a collection of alcohol. PARIBAWGA SHOWROOM AND CAFÉ YANGON 104, Bogalay Zayy street, Botahtaung Township, Yangon.

new opening
Aroy Thai BY SOFIA RAINERI Aroy Thai is a refreshing addition to the Yangon restaurant scene. Modern and spacious, it is spread over two floors, family friendly downstairs, and chill out bar on the upstairs terrace, a perfect place to unwind after work and grab some food with friends. The bar can host up to 100 guests and has already been used for birthday parties, and even a proposal. The design of the restaurant has been carefully thought out to provide the best possible atmosphere and dining experience. Their signature umbrellas hanging on the walls add a touch of colour, and the bar is wonderfully quirky. The menu offers a wide variety of Thai dishes so you are spoilt for choice, and the portions are generous. They have a selection of delicious curries, such as the Spicy Beef Red Curry (5,900MMK), - the beef was perfectly tender- and the Chicken Curry (5,900MMK) which had plentiful chicken and Thai eggplant. Based on the spice level of the curries I believe Aroy Thai offers a milder, more bearable alternative compared to other Thai restaurants, whilst still bearing the ever-present heat of Thai cuisine, it won’t leave your mouth completely numb. The Tom Yum (12,000 MMK large pot) is delicious, light, fragrant and packed full of seafood (crab, cuttle fish, prawns…just to name a few). My personal favourite dish was the Three Seasons Fish (10,800MMK), perfectly cooked fish topped with a sweet and sour sauce, pineapple chunks and Thai basil which added freshness. A free (and delicious) dessert is served with every meal. Aroy Thai also has large selection of drinks, wine and cocktails. The Margarita was perfect, strong and zesty. More Thai inspired cocktails will be added in the near future. Aroy Thai provides innovation in its atmosphere, making it perfect for every occasion whether it’s a family meal, grabbing a drink with friends or hosting a party.
