Eighty-sixth Street in Bensonhurst is replete with Asian restaurants of all types, and one of its newest eateries specializes in a type of food rarely seen in New York City – Burmese food. The restaurant Rangoon Spoon, located at 2369 86th St., is presided over by chef Amy Tun. Some of the dishes are similar to other Asian cuisine, but with a difference. For example, shan tofu is made not with soybeans but with chickpea flour, according to The New York Times.
The ingredients in Mohinga include toasted rice powder, seminola catfish, lemongrass, ginger, rice noodles and yellow split peas. Falooda, a drink with Persian roots, contains milk, rose syrup, tapioca and basil. The restaurant is decorated with traditional embroidered tapestries on the walls.
