If you want a great lunch and pay only half the price, then go to Burma Lane in the CBD. Burma Lane is a sister restaurant to Red Spice Road, so if you enjoy the food at RSR, you will like Burma Lane too. It serves modern fusion Cambodian cuisine and have the same bold, intense flavours as RSR. It also has a version of the famous pork belly on its menu. On Mondays, it has a Feed Me set menu on half price (limited to 4 people only, normally $39 pp).
The Feed Me menu changes regularly so you don't have to worry about eating the same thing because you've gone twice in two weeks like I did, because I enjoyed the food so much. The Feed Me menu provides for 2 small dishes, and 3 mains.
Dumplings, can't go wrong with dumplings! The second time I visited, it was shan tofu which I found a little bland, unlike the dumplings.
Deep fried barramundi pieces, sweet potato in a spicy honey soy sauce. It was a little bit fishy, but not bad. On the second time I was there, they served braised beef cheeks which was just marvellous!! The meat was tender and melted in the mouth. It was braised in the same kind of sauce (notice how most of the sauces on the menu seem a little similar in colour and flavour..?) but was so good.
Papaya salad - my friend enjoyed this immensely as she loves papaya salad. It was crunchy and refreshing. The second time I visited there was wok tossed greens which included green beans, which I enjoyed more.
Pork Belly - 1 cube per person. Similar to RSR, it was sticky and melted in the mouth, and is a constant on the menu.
The dish that I most enjoyed in Burma Lane was the braised beef cheeks, surpassing the pork belly which can be a little stringy at times. I also enjoyed the wok tossed greens which had the breath of wok in the dish. The portions are generous, and no need for rice to fill the tummy up. So if you were ordering from the ala carte menu, don't go past the braised beef cheeks!
