We came here because L's company had catered from Rangoo Ruby once and their garlic noodle was amazing.  So we decided to give it a try with the family. 

Tea Leaf Salad

This is a popular traditional salad in Burma. A mix of Burmese tea leaves, fried garlic, yellow beans, peanuts, sesame seeds, lettuce, tomato, jalapeno peppers and dried shrimp. 

A truly unique taste with the fermented Burmese tea leaves also known as Laphet.  The fried garlic added extra appeal to this delectable dish.
