Got to learn about the existence of yet another new establishment serving up Myanmar cuisine around the island. Located within the coffeeshop at the foot of an industrial complex named iSpace that carries the address of 7 Soon Lee Street, these folks are relatively close to the outlet of Kay-Tu Myanmar Cuisine at Pioneer Point (i.e. 5 Soon Lee Street). Named Shwe Eainn Si, the stall is quite easy to locate considering how it takes up one of the stall spaces situated in the middle of the coffeeshop. Much like most Myanmar cuisine stalls of its type around the island, the stall does serve up economic mixed vegetable rice with Myanmar-style dishes, whilst also serving up a variety of rice and noodle dishes that are prominently listed on its menu.

One of our favourite dishes where it comes to Burmese cuisine would be the Nangyi Thoke. This would be a rice noodle salad dish that sees thick rice vermicelli being tossed with other elements such as chili oil, chicken curry, onions, hard-boiled egg and toasted chickpea flour. On first sight, the Nangyi Thoke at Shwe Eainn Si does come in a portion size that is a little smaller than what we are used to getting from other establishments elsewhere. Setting that aside, the Nangyi Thoke does taste pretty much like what we had expected it to be; the thick rice vermicelli is slurpy and chewy — having been tossed with chili oil and chickpea flour meant that it does carry this savoury and earthy note with a slight hint of spiciness that should be manageable to those whom have a lower tolerance to spiciness. The cubes of curry chicken here does come with chicken that is done to a slightly tougher texture that is a little streaky and fibrous; this does seem to be the case for such chicken that we have come across at most stalls serving up Myanmar cuisine. The onions does add a bit of a crunch with slight zing that cuts through the chili oil and the carbs that further adds dimension of flavours and textures to the dish.
