Singapore｜Shwe Kant Kaw Myanmar Cuisine

I ordered the lahpet thoke, nangyi thoke and mohinga(soup noodles)for 16sgd They are all very very good. I recommend the nagyi thoke(the noodles) over mohinga but that's personal preference. Il My favourite was the lahpet thoke. Please know that serving time takes a while as the store will prepare your dishes on the spot. Best time to visit is about 11am for lunch.

Was on an errand in Clementi and remembered my Myanmar friend telling me on this nice stall near Clementi mrt station. Indeed, the food is nice and price are acceptable. I personally recommend the yellow noodles salad which is interesting to me. Total cost for this meal is less than $15.

Having never eaten Myanmar cuisine before, it was a pleasant surprise to know I can try it at a stall near where I frequent. I visited the stall over 3 occasions to try out the different dishes that are commonly found in Myanmar - tea leaf salad (lahpet thoke), chicken chilli noodle salad (nangyi thoke) and rice noodle in fish broth (mohinga). Of the three, the strongest tasting dish was the tea leaf salad. Prepared in Yangon style, there’s ample peanut oil as garnish and it was definitely unique trying out pickled tea leaves!! Although the portion looks small, I felt quite full after finishing it. It’s an acquired taste in my opinion. The nangyi thoke is quite similar to udon but Burmese style. It’s served at room temperature or a tad cold (salad mah) so don’t be surprised if you thought it wasn’t cooked or left there for a long time. This I think would be easier for locals to try. There’s some crispy chickpea fritters and the overall flavour is just right. The best dish I like is the mohinga. The soup is made from fish and the overall feel is like mee Soto but the color is closer to mee rebus. You can add the chilli powder which is really smoky!! It’s quite spicy but gives a good kick to the dish. No worries on the fishy taste as ample spices have been added to give this soup a rich but balanced flavour. The 3 dishes I had were priced at $5 each, quite reasonable considering the ingredients are not commonly found in SG. So if you are in Clementi next time and wondering what to eat, pop in to this stall (inside coffeeshop) to try some authentic Burmee food.
