Inle Myanmar at Marina Square

Quick post for this. Having been to Myanmar, I entered the place feeling as thou I have returned there. The service staff were all Burmese and are all very friendly.
They had a set meal promotion going on at $11.90 for the outlet at Marina Square.
You get to choose a side dish, a mains and either a drink or dessert.

Sour Plum Juice
Tasty , Refreshing but a bit too sour.

Pickeld Tea Leaves Salad
Interesting and rather tasty. A little bit oily but when paired with rice, it goes well.

Onion Fritters
Very crispy but not too oily. Did not really like the sauce but the fritters itself is just good enough.

Myanmar Fried Kway Teow
Quite similar to the local Char Kway Teow that we have but tastes a little like fusion between Mee Goreng and Fried Kway Teow.

Curry Chicken With Butter Rice
Rice is very fragrant and the shrimp chilli seems to match with everything!

Green Room Vegetarian Cafe at Bishan Park

Went to Bishan Park for lunch at this rather interesting place - Green Room Vegetarian Cafe.
Definitely a great place for something light on the palate or those who are health conscious. The ambience inside and outside is quite relaxing and being surrounded by greenery, you naturally feel more relaxed and isolated from the bustles of city life.
They had a lunch promotion set going which gives you a soup of the day, main course and juice of the day.
The portion given is more than the average restuarant or cafes so sharing a set and ordering another mains would be good enough.

Mint Tea and Energizer
Very strong smell of mint and good for digestion( as stated in the menu).
When they told me it was papaya and pineapple, my jaw dropped. I did not expect such a combination but nonetheless, it tasted great. Really a energizing drink for a lull day.

Soup of the Day (Tomato Soup)
Good start to the set meal. Only wished that there was more bread to go with such good soup.

Advocado Wrap
I am not really a fan of pure greens but the mustard sauce that they add plus the creamy texture of the advocado makes this taste real good. The skin that they use also goes well with the greens. Excellent dish except that you will really have to love vegetables to finish up the whole portion of it.

Vegetarian Chicken Rice
The soup tastes exactly like the real thing! The 'meat' patty was good for a start but over time, the usualy mock meat taste will get apparent. The price is considered steep for a plate of chicken rice but it is worth the cost to try it.

Satisfied and full after the meal with a very refreshing and healthy feel.
