Whole barramundi baked with tropical Arakanese herbs and spices. (800g-1kg Fish, serves 3-4 people. This dish takes 45 minutes to cook so its best if you pre-order).

Chef’s special. This exquisite dish comes from humble origins, traditionally cooked by Rohingya fishermen after a long day of work. Taking a fish from their catch they would add whatever vegetable, herbs and spices they had to hand, wrap their fish whole in banana leaf and put it the coals of their campfire. Just before eating the fish would be taken off the heat and left to finish off with a good squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Our version is prepared with Queensland barramundi and our special blend of Arakenese aromatics including coriander and lemongrass and oven baked in banana leaves.

Tea salad is a deliciously zingy and uniquely Burmese dish which uses fermented tea leaves as the main ingredient. Traditionally the freshly plucked leaves would be smoked, wrapped in banana leaves and reed mats and buried in the ground for at least 3-4 months to ferment usually over Summer. Today it is more commonly packed tightly into clay pots. Some people say it gets better with age and it is not uncommon for some batches to be fermented for up to two years. It’s a much-loved Burmese dish and it often offered to guests as a gesture of hospitality. It is commonly eaten as a shared snack dish served with hot green Burmese tea.
