Burmese Cooking Class

There is one Burmese restaurant in Boston (Yoma), that we go to all the time.  While in Mae Sot, there was no shortage of restaurants where we could eat tea leaf salad and tofu curries.  Sam was thrilled because with the price of the meals (about $1/dish) he never went hungry.

Momo is one of the owners of Borderline, where we took our cooking class.

We spent a wonderful day taking the cooking class at Borderline, where they took us to the market, to a Burmese tea house where all the revolutionaries hang out and where we had a fascinating conversation with Burmese Borderline owner Momo (above) .
