Amay's House

Amay's House Burmese and Asian Cuisine Menu, Reviews, Photos, Location and Info - Zomato Back to Amay's House after a very long time (2015!) and good to see this little place is still around and offering good value even with the expected price increases over time.

Roti Prata ($3) one piece side order
  • Crispy on the outside, very moist and tender on the inside, and oily to achieve this result but that's expected.
  • Overall texture and taste is good, dough is pretty thin, and easy to hand-tear.
  • This came flat from the pan and not hand-crushed into a tender mass, which is an alternate way it is served.
  • As a side order it does NOT come with anything for dipping.

Prata Served with Curry Chicken ($5.50 for 1 piece, $8.50 for 2 pieces)
  • Prata on the side. I had this to go and they crushed the prata, possibly to prevent the crust from cooling and hardening into a chewy slab. This way it was still fairly easy to hand-tear for dipping into the curry.
  • It's chicken curry, not curried chicken pieces. So you do get chunks of chicken meat as well as some curry sauce.
  • Not hot-spicy. Rather sweet curry sauce that was quite thick and had a good portion of oil.
Keema Prata ($6) prata stuffed with a choice of ground chicken or lamb; onions, traditional spices
  • Looks like one prata spread with the meat portion of their curry, and cut into two pieces.
  • I asked for chicken and was at first thrown off by their use of ground chicken.
  • Curry is not hot-spicy and actually looks a bit skimpy. If you're going for chicken I would recommend instead the "Prata Served with Curry Chicken"
  • Token salad with sour vinaigrette, like a refreshing coleslaw.

Myanmar Tea Leaf Salad ($8) Fermented tea leaves, tomato, cabbage, assorted beans and nuts
  • Interesting a quite refreshing-tasting cold salad. Mild sourness from the tea leaves, fun crunch from the nuts. Overall a very tasty salad.

Fish Noodle Soup ($8.50)
  • Rice noodles, catfish broth, lemongrass, fresh cilantro, fried garlic, fried split chana dal (yellow lentils)
  • Interesting fried globs of lentils but you have to pay attention to them or you might just miss it eating it with everything else.
  • NO fish meat! Just the broth is used.
  • A very generous portion of noodle, so this can be a fairly filling meal for under $10.
  • NOT very "fishy" tasting at all. But also not a lot of taste character either, as a result. Pretty tame. Maybe pass on this and get something more interesting.

A small pot of chili flake/paste is available as condiment. Be VERY careful. This stuff is powerful.

Fairly busy on a Saturday evening but still no problem walking in for a table.

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 3

A picture from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. I can't remember why I had this couple in the picture, but I do vaguely remember this to be in London, on the first official day of the tour group getting together. Their insistence on my helping them take a picture caused the three of us to be late getting back to the bus. The local tour guide had a "rule" about lateness, that we had to buy chocolate to share with everyone. As it turned out, later in the trip, on at least two occasions, we were stuck on the highway on either a long commute or a traffic jam, and I had chocolate and chocolate-covered marzipan to share. About the chocolate-covered marzipan -- Apparently we were in Austria just as they were celebrating Mozart's birthday with special marzipans wrapped in foil with the famous composer's picture. I'm pretty sure it was Mirabell Mozartkugeln . Anyway, there were enough to go around the en...

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 10

The last of my pictures (at least the ones that survived the cheesy disposable cameras) from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. Below is the obligatory group photo. Not sure everyone's in it, actually. I'm pretty sure this one was taken by the tour director, Mike Scrimshire as I'm in the back row, on the right side.

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 9

More assorted couples on my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. An American couple who joked about being from "the land of the giants" -- and with good reason, because both of them were really tall! A cute Jewish mother-daughter pair who ducked out part-way to divert to Israel. I vaguely remember the issue of the daughter being an orthodox Jew was highlighted in France when, to make things easy, she just declared herself vegetarian for the wait staff. I also remember there was some logistics error in France because our party size was way underestimated or simply relayed incorrectly, and there was a shortage of food at dinner. Dessert came as an unopened can of yogurt. It did not seem like they tried to make it up to us later, either. Plus there was smoking every which way in France, and I had a helluva time with that. We were also in a hotel that seemed tucked away in the burbs, and not walking distance from anythin...
