Underwhelming Mohinga — expected more

I was looking forward to Mohinga here based on the reputation. The reality was disappointing. The warming with turmeric character that makes this dish special was muted — either from shortcuts with fish paste ngapi or from scaling up production at the expense of quality.

laphet fermented tea leaf salad is a uniquely Burmese ingredient used in salads and as a stimulant snack. The a Yangon tea shop setting I was hoping for wasn't quite there either. Myanmar Beer was available but not suggested appropriately. I've had much better versions elsewhere. Two stars because the dish concept is sound; the execution let it down.
