17/10/2017 - Burma Lane

Location: 118 Little Collins Street, Melbourne VIC 3000

We wanted to have a early dinner as my girlfriend could knock off work early due to a conference. I booked this restaurant in advance via Dimmi to enjoy the AMEX Dimmi offer for getting back 20 AUD if you spend 50 AUD and above.

I was hoping that we were sitting upstairs but its probably wishful thinking on my part. 

The restaurant was quite empty when we arrived at about 530pm and we were quickly brought to our reserved seat. We ordered the following: 

a) Cured salmon, smoked tomato romesco, anchovy kewpie, shallot, seaweed cracker
b) Octopus, green samphire, dashi mayo, ink and ginger
c) Beef Brisket, Chu Hou, smokey eggplant, peanut, pineapple relish, pickle

Very small piece of culinary wonder. It was easy to split. Not sure why the waitress told us otherwise.

The octopus dish on the right was really good. It was the one that I enjoyed the most.

Expensive kong ba bun. Tastes pretty good but a bit too pricey

Damage: 61 AUD 41 AUD for 2 pax (after dimmi 20 AUD rebate). I would definitely go back again if the dimmi offer is back. Do remember to book via dimmi and register your amex card and leave a review to earn bonus dimmi points for a 20 AUD voucher when you have 10k dimmi points!
