There is a lot to like about La Maison 20, an ambitious new restaurant and bar on Kabar Aye Pagoda Road beside Japanese establishment Wasabi that opened about six months ago.
Meatballs are a consummate favourite for everyone from adults to children. I loved to eat mutton meatball curry and fried meatballs with steamed or fried rice when I was living in Yangon.

This week I am presenting a recipe for homemade yakitori sauce for BBQ events, to help celebrate the festive season.
Occasionally — very occasionally — biryani is the exact perfect food for a midday meal. Suddenly I’m ambushed by the scent of nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves and cardamom wafting from a shop I happen to be passing.
Winter is waiting just around the corner, and the promise of cooler air makes this the perfect time to introduce my recipe for the Vietnamese rice noodle soup known as pho.

Le Nacha is one of the more recent additions to Yangon’s array of warm-globes-of-light-in-the-trees eating venues.
