We heard that Inle Myanmar sells pretty authentic Burmese food and we headed down for lunch to give their dishes a try! Being a sucker for fried rice, we ordered the traditional fried rice ($10). The serving size was really generous and it may actually be a little too much if you are a small eater.

The fried rice was great! It was fried with a generous serving of shallots and onions, giving it a decent fragrance. The fried rice here has two distinct features - it was fried in tumeric, giving it a really yellow colouration, and the rice used here was shorter and rounder, and it felt a little softer than the fried rice found at most of our tze char restaurants. Nonetheless, we felt that the rice grains were a little too soggy for our liking. The rice is also much saltier than the local varieties here, so you may want to request for less salt beforehand if you prefer.

The rice was served with a fried chicken thigh (not shown), and the chicken was coated with tumeric too, which gave its exterior a yellow hue as well. While the skin was crispy, it was rather tough and the meat wasn't tender as well. I guess we were not used to the firm texture, although it was pretty yummy in terms of flavour.
