Because I love Burma Superstar with the burning passion of a Shakespearean hero, I simply must do another post on it.
I took my friends Kate and Ross there this past weekend to introduce them to her seductively addictive charms. After stuffing ourselves with chicken satay, the incomparable samusa soup, walnut shrimp and sesame beef we managed to find just enough room to sample one of their desserts. As I am always down for anything fried we went for the fried bananas slices with coconut ice cream, mango sorbet and sliced strawberries. Oh My God. It was incredible!
I tend to be more of a savoury than a sweets person so it is rare that I even bother with dessert, but Kate and Ross both have an insatiable sweet tooth so they required further satisfaction. The fact that I hate all things coconut aside - it was quite the stellar dessert. Kate and I just dumped all that coconut ice cream on Ross' plate and then attacked the rest with gusto. The mango sorbet was simply pureed and frozen mango and was ridiculously good. The bananas we fried to utter perfection - with a thin, crisp layer on the outside and hot, mushy goodness on the inside. Yum!
So, lesson learned. Next time I go to Burma Superstar (which will be as soon as I can drag the next unsuspecting victim down to Alameda) I shall endeavor to save some room for dessert. = )
