Burma Fave

Complementing the food is a sprightly, reasonably priced wine list chosen by maven Alan Goldfarb, including suggestions of wines to match specific menu items. The full bar also offers exotic beers and a wild assortment of cocktails and "elixirs"; I succumbed to the tropical lure of a Chi-Chi (just yummy, and only $4.50) while my friend dove into her banana daiquiri ($4.25).

In Buddhism, "nirvana" is the complete detachment from personal and sensual desires. My companions did not quite achieve it: They'd been looking forward to fried bananas, but the restaurant no longer makes them, offering only ice cream for dessert (in Asian flavors, of course). But I was quite satisfied. Delicious, unusual food at affordable prices makes Nirvana good enough for me.
