Burmese food turned out to be a great mixture of all the best Asian cuisines. The only 'real' Burmese food that I ate was the Pork in Black Pepper Sauce [also had the chicken version] with lots of cracked peppercorns. Also tried two different Burmese breakfasts: one with flat noodles and the other with rice noodles. Liked them both. Here are some pictures of some of the meals I enjoyed:

Tried the Scallion Pancake at Wang tonight and also the Szechuan Wonton Soup. Both delicious!

La Casita del Sabor

Lunch today at La Casita del Sabor on Park Street just at the corner of Bartholomew Avenue. Always thought it was just a food truck but it is a small restaurant.

I had the famous Pupusa [$4 for plain, $8 for chicken or fish] and a Baleada [$4]. These were supposed to be appetizers but the servings were huge. The pupusa is a Salvadoran stuffed flatbread with cheese and lorco, a tropical vine flower filling. It came with a cabbage slaw and pink sauce for more flavor. The baleada is a Honduran bean and cheese tortilla. Both are quite filling! Since I was getting only appetizers, I ordered the small portion of the Chicken Soup [$5]. This had a chicken thigh and corn, yucca, carrots and cilantro. It was smooth and very well put together.

Barça

Lunch today at Barça under new management [please fix your website] with a Groupon [$30 for $15]. Ended up costing $1.04 plus tip. 

Started with an order to Empanadilla de pollo [$5 for two] which came with a good dipping sauce. Bread with oil and balsamic vinegar to the table also. One luncheon entrée of Calamari and Camaron [$9] with onions and peppers. Heavy on the seafood, light on the veggies so lots to eat. The shrimp were quite good. This came with a salad so the Caesar salad was the choice.

Had the Caldo Verde while my partner had her salad. The soup [$4] was sweetly seasoned with a good smoky base. My order of Bacalho Salteado [$9] was very filling. The eggs were perfectly scrambled and the codfish was sweet. Salad on plate was okay but needed to fixing up to stand up to the main dish. Took the rest home for breakfast tomorrow.

j gilbert's

Holiday season lunch available [December 5th to 23rd] at j gilbert's and since I needed to buy a gift card I stayed for lunch. Sounds like a good idea? Yes, it was super.

Had the Steak and Wedge Salad [$18] a petite filet, applewood bacon, beets, asparagus, gorgonzola, croutons, maytag bleu cheese dressing. The croutons were actually two toasted polenta triangles and super good. This and a Sarasota sparkling water made for a great holiday shopping break.

Casa Mia

Nice little place for a good meal in North Miami. Owner operated with one server and can they take care of a room.All the little details are there.

Started with a delicious Cream of Spinach soup. Good bread and great olive oils. Then on to the Pasta Special: fresh spinach, sweet Italian sausage and mushrooms over al dente spaghetti. It was simple and beautifully prepared. Paired this with a bottle of Festa suggested by the owner. For dessert a triple layer of chocolate cake, flan and a caramel mousse with a cappuccino.

bloginfo: Casa Mia Trattoria is located 1950 NE 123rd Street in North Miami. No website. 

blognote: Not the kind of restaurant where you take pictures of the food, so you get the table decoration instead.
