I always thought Clarkston was somewhere far away, but it was much closer than I realized. Naturally, when it 's 4th of July, people are flocking to Buckhead/Midtown for the Peachtree Road Race. My husband and I took the other road not taken and drove to Clarkston just to check out Royal Myanmar. This is something you won 't find on Buford Hwy. Conveniently by the exit, Royal Myanmar is in a standalone building in a shopping center that 's probably seen better days. It appears to have been converted from an old Bruster 's ice cream. Despite how dated the building/interior is, the tables and floors are impeccably clean. There 's some Indian and Asian influence with Burmese food. My only experience with Burmese food was in San Francisco years ago and I still have fond memories of the Tea Leaf Salad there. Although there are a lot of salads on the menu, it 's really more like stir fried cooked salads. Here 's what we ate: Tea Leaf Salad Rice It 's a mixture of all sorts of things: chickpeas, fermented tea leafs, fish sauce, spices, etc. It 's good by itself and hardly needs the rice but because it 's so heavily seasoned, you may want some rice to eat with it. Definitely a favorite of the meal. Palata bread Although it 's kind of greasy, I think of it as a puffed up roti bread because it 's dipped in a curry sauce. Worth getting if you 've never had it before. Second favorite. Tofu Thouk (Salad) The tofu is made in house and it 's unlike any other tofu I 've had. It 's certainly not silken, and it 's got a grainy texture that almost reminds me of cheese curds. Nan Gyi Thoke (Rice noodle salad) This wasn 't bad I don 't think I 've ever had rice noodles like this because it 's so similar to bucatini but the smooth soft texture is a sign it 's made with rice. The sauce it 's cooked in is very similar to the Tofu Thouk salad. Dried Small Fish Ba La Chong This is a small container that sits on the counter. It 's basically fried chilis, anchovy and garlic. Much spicier than I expected, we bought it to bring home for a hefty $8. The good thing is that a little goes a long way and we 've been using it to add to homemade congee (rice porridge) and fried rice. FYI, a pot of hot tea here is $2. It 's not really listed anywhere. I 'd be curious to try new things by coming back again since there 's a few more items to try. Dishes are slightly on the expensive side, but definitely shareable. I highly recommend stopping by.
