Amay's House

Went to Amay's House because we've never had Burmese food before.

The place was clean, one of the cleaner washrooms I've been to.

We ordered the Burmese style samosas, spicy button mushroom curry, lamb satay, and roti.

The samosas were good. I like that the vegetables inside aren't mushy like Indian samosas. You can see and taste the texture of each vegetable, chopped into perfect squares. It came with a great tart sauce. Very well balanced dish.

The button mushroom curry wasn't spicy. At all. It LOOKS like it should be, but it's not. It tasted like salty broth to me and tomato soup to B. It left something lacking, which is why we ordered two more dishes.

The lamb satay was decent. At first I thought the meat was over seasoned, but then dipping it into the sweet and creamy peanut sauce really helped balance the taste. The meat was cooked well and tender.

The roti was good by itself. It came with some kind of chicken dipping sauce. The sauce tasted like the oil run off from when you bake chicken, and the chicken itself tasted like chicken from a can of chicken or chicken soup.

Overall, it was a pleasurable experience. After a 15% tip, the bill was still under $30 and we were both extremely full. Good value, just needs flavour. And  although the service is a little on the slow side, they were friendly enough not to sour the experience. We may return, but we still have a lot of places to try first.
