Went to Irrawaddy today for lunch. I had been before a year ago or so. But new to the boys. We all agreed we will be back soon. Henry was really taken with the Burmese food. He was born in China but this was a new experience for him.
We had 3 dishes so we did not overindulge but all 3 dishes were consumed. All were excellent
Started out with Paratha with curry sauce. A fried bread. Almost pancake like but so much lighter and a bit crispy.
Next was Kauk Sware Thota. A Mandalay style coconut noodle with chicken and cabbage. I had several servings of this dish.
Last was Lamb Masala. Very large pieces of lamb and very tender, great flavor. Best Lamb Masala I have had.
Did not order dessert as we were stuffed. Total with tip came to $75. Not bad pricing considering what fast food goes for nowadays.
Wine was very good. A 2019 Provence Vineyards, Rutherford, Napa Valley, Sauvignon Blanc. I did not have any of this wine as it is too acidic for me right now but the boys enjoyed it.
A 2000 Longoria, Sta Rita Hills, Blind Faith Vineyards, Pinot Noir. Excellent wine. Could go a few more years. No flaws. Only issue is cork broke when opening but a filter was easily produced. CJ and I went in on this wine a few years back when Wine Country had it on sale for approximately $150. We split the cost. Wine was well worth it.
