So what is the best menu combo from the Burmese Curry Place

So when ordering do you have to choose two?

Can you just take one? Or three?

4&8. Every week without fail. Seriously. $7 takeaway. Awesome

8+9, 3+9 or 6+9 so far 🙂

Forgot the comma?

LOL. Was I the only one to get this ?

As far as I’m concerned the 4 is mandatory. The only reason not to order it is if you are a vego but then even that is a bit weak given how great the fish cakes are. I then mix it up between 3, 7 and 8 for the second option.

Agreed..4 is a must have, but then can be added to either 1 or 3. I have tried the egg curry and that is very good as well.

Call me ignorant, but we have friends (admittedly, Burmese but not Burman) who put us on to that combo. 2 + 4 is a very close second; anything else is madness.

I’m a 1 + 2 person as well. Eggs in curry are the natural not meat alternative 🙂

2 + 5 = perfect lunch.
2 cause egg curry gives me flashbacks to a great Pakistani place from my youth, and 5, well cause you can’t go past a fish curry.

Couldn’t they have made the vego one look a bit less Spartan? No wonder I’ve never been!

It’s a vegetable dish, you are a vego….isn’t that enough? Of course I am being facetious, I know that Vegos need sesame seeds or something exotic to spice it up on the top.

But really, it’s one of the best veggie dishes I’ve had as take away. And if I remember, it’s also got potato in it.

Love curried egg dishes and make one at home a fair bit, albeit Indian, but have never tried this one.

Thanks for that. Will give it a whirl next time I deserve lunch.

+1. The curried bum-nuts are freakin awesome. Incidentally, egg dishes are very popular in India too. Nothing like the dirty ‘curried egg’ we get on sangers over here in Oz.

6 and 4 a close second.

When it first opened, I heard from an * inside source* that the potato options were just to assuage the australians who couldn’t handle the authentic burma styles.

Burmese cooking definitely includes potato. Or perhaps yam. However, it’s a common addition to bulk up a dish for westerners, who usually order 1 dish. Burmese eating typically involves a bunch of small dishes rather than 1 big one.

Of course, YMMV, especially as Burmese != Shan/Karen/Chin/Kachin/etc

Oh man, damn, I care about this. woah. Hold on. *i gotta breath*

So yeah. I’m bringing the pretention:

If I see your order 1 or 6, I will either judge you as being a ignorant, or salt-of-the-earth.

Egg curry and beef potato is my favorite combo. The big, whole eggs, hearty potatos, and melt-in-your mouth beef does it for me.

I never do the combos unless there is a decent veggie option. The lunch combo is a take away version of the buffet and is well suited mostly to men who seem comfortable with having salad, stew, curry, rice, cold pasta, potatoes and dessert on one plate.

My favorite from the BCP is the chicken and potato and the vegetarian dish.
