Burma Superstar
Burma Superstar: Addictive Recipes from the Crossroads of Southeast Asia | Kate Leahy, Desmond TAN
2 posts | 1 read | 6 to read
"An eclectic collection of 80 achievable yet spectacular recipes from famed San Francisco Bay Area Burmese restaurant, Burma Superstar. For years, Bay Area residents and out-of-towners have packed the house--and lined up out the door--for the salads, curries, rice, and stir-fries served at Burma Superstar, a beloved Burmese restaurant with four locations in the San Francisco Bay Area. This collection of recipes includes favorites like Tea Leaf Salad, Samosa Soup, Pumpkin Pork Stew, Garlic Noodles, and Black Rice Pudding that have made the group of restaurants one of the most recognizable in the Bay Area but it also takes readers into the kitchens of Burmese home cooks, whose style of cooking drives menu inspiration. As Burma--now called Myanmar--opens up to the world after a half century of seclusion, there has never been a more exciting time to share the multi-ethnic flavors of Burma Superstar. "

No, we didn't cook these amazing dishes (the infamous Tea Leaf Salad and Samusa soup!), but we did have an intense craving for their food today. This place happens to be a few blocks away from us, and we were feeling lazy so we ordered take-out! Burmese food ❤️❤️❤️. I can't wait to try some of the recipes from the cookbook!

Whether you pick this up for the San Francisco restaurant, out of intrigue, or out of a genuine desire to learn more about Burmese cuisine, you cannot help but come away delighted. Clear, easy-to-follow recipes are preceded by brief histories & context of dishes, interspersed with gorgeous photography, and stories of the restaurant. Delicious, informative, beautiful—I dare you to resist putting this on your shelf. -Jocelyn
