burmese & blush

i was so excited to have dinner with the tiny dancer tonight since it had been such a long time since i'd seen her. we decided to check out a new place in burlingame called mingalaba. it's a burmese & mandarin restaurant so i was interested in trying the food since i'd never had burmese food. when i looked over the menu i noticed several items that were familiar and realized that burmese food is basically thai, indian and chinese food combined. i don't mean that it's all on one plate just that they have options from each of those cuisines. we ordered the vegetarian samusas (a mixture of grounded potatoes with curry spices), rainbow chicken(pan fried chicken with fresh mangoes, pineapples, and vegetables), pumpkin yellow chicken and pork chow mein. my favorite was the pumkin chicken but the samusas were a close second. the curry chicken and pumkin just melted in my mouth with each bite. i think i will try and make this at home. after dinner we walked over to a forzen yougart place called blush. it's a posh spot like pinkberry but they had more flavors. i ordered half pink lemmonade and half the flavor named blush which is dragon fruit and pomegranate. i topped my yougart with mangoes and i belive it made a very tasty combination or delicous flavors.
