I've been having a rough time lately, but managed to get out of my house yesterday to see my therapist (the first time in weeks and weeks). I've been feeling a little weak, so instead of schlepping from Telegraph all the way to Tuk-Tuk Thai Cafe on Shattuck (as is our custom). I decided to try this new place on Telegraph near my therapist Rangoon Superstars. loracs and I over ordered as we tend to do at a new restaurant.

We both just loved the place. I can't remember what soup we had, but it had like a potato dumpling in it. On the spicy side for me, but I'm a wimp and I still liked it. We had salt and pepper calamari which was amazingly tender. loracs loved the jalapenos that went with it. I was able to eat around the jalapenos and enjoyed the appetizer quite a bit. I had some garlic noodles with duck. She had a shrimp dish. I discovered a new favorite drink: Burmese Milk Tea.

I was happy to run into serene as she walked home from work. Lots of vegetarian options probably several vegan ones as well.

Sorry to hear about the rough time. Getting stuck at home can be frustrating -- like a sardine in a can.

Burmese Milk Tea sounds delicious! Is it chai-like? Does its milk come from something different, like a Water Buffalo or a Yak?

It is a bit chai-like. I'm not sure if Yak or water buffalo milk is more traditional, but to me it tasted like condensed milk. The tea is a very strong black. It is quite sweet so if you don't like that sort of thing you may not like it but strong, sweet fluids are very much something I like.

Sounds delish! It was a joy to stumble on you.
