Our travelling group of 7 had lunch arranged through a travel agent. As the restaurant was expecting us, it was disappointing that the dishes, and steamed rice, came lukewarm... to match our dismal experience. Consider this. We lunched at nearly 4pm following our arrival at Yangon Airport and the subsequent hassle changing rooms at our assigned hotel. There were no diners besides us. The tired, somewhat fading wallpaper that draped the outlet belies the charming decor. We ordered our dishes, which came fast and furious, but not hot. These were promptly served as if the wait staff and kitchen crew were waiting to rush home. That the photos featured show a spoon reflects the couldnt-care-less attitude of the wait staff who plonked the spoons onto each dish even as we were arranging the dishes for a photo-shoot. And as each dish was tabled, we had to ask, and got mumbled response as to what the dish contained. It was an unappealing introduction to Burma that became the hallmark defining moment for newcomer me. Our visit coincided with the onset of the monsoon season. It was off-peak where tourist arrivals are concerned. One would imagine our custom will be most welcomed and that we would be served well. Not so, for sure!
