I usually just associated San Francisco’s strip of Little Saigon (Larkin Street near Hastings Law School) as the place to go for dirt cheap and delicious banh mi (Vietnamese sandwiches). The Sunset was for actual Vietnamese restaurants, and those were usually Chinese/Vietnamese BBQ hybrids, or so I thought.

Given the latest happenings in Myanmar (formerly known as Burma), I figured I’d provide a brief lesson on the culture that has created the famous 12-ingredient Salad.
First, check out CNN’s FAQ on what’s going on in Myanmar, and why, this very moment.
Next, check out the map of the country (courtesy: Lonely Planet). Ah, this is why Burmese cuisine is described as being “influenced” by Chinese, Indian, and Thai cuisine. Look at the border countries, people!
Finally, go sample some Burmese grub food at 2 of 3 tasty restaurants:
Golden Mandalay
Yamo
I won’t mention the third “Super Star” restaurant as it gets enough publicity on
its own, thank you.

Met a buddy who knew the right Chinese food place to check out…Grubgirl had a craving for wonton soup and this place gets an A+. A big bowl of wontons, with plenty of meat in them, savory broth, and, the pleasant surprise was that there was some tofu, fish cake, and meat also thrown in!
