Burma Burma: Haven for vegetarians, surprise for meat lovers (Foodie Trail-Delhi)

Pure vegetarians usually have limited options at fine dining restaurants. Not so at Burma Burma. Though Burmese cuisine is known for its seafood and meat preparations, the restaurant has given these a miss. But the vegetarian spread they have on offer comes as a pleasant surprise even for meat lovers.

Situated in Saket's Select Citywalk mall, Burma Burma has outlets in Mumbai and Gurugram as well.

The cosy restaurant has beautiful interiors with colourful dolls of several Burmese tribes displayed on one wall, while the other has elements from Burmese culture carved into it -- the lotus flower, the owl, fish and more.

The tea bar in the end of the restaurant boasts a pretty display of Burmese artefacts and lacquer ware as the backdrop.

I started with a Nutella-flavoured bubble tea. A mix of black tea, milk, maple syrup and chewy tapioca pearls with Nutella, it was a perfect blend and had me reordering it.

Then came the Thoke Sampler, a salad platter with raw mango salad, tea leave salad and sunflower leaves. My favourite was the sunflower salad -- the leaves were fresh and left me pondering how a cuisine could utilise every part of a plant, flower and fruit so well. Besides being green, it was crisp with peanuts mixed in it.
