The menu

Other than classic Myanmar fare like Mohinga (a rice noodle and fish broth dish that’s widely considered to be the country’s national dish), Lin also offers Tofu Nway, a Shan State speciality with noodles in warm, creamy chickpea tofu and Lahpet Thoke, a light salad tossed with fermented tea leaves. Another unique dish is Nga Ka-i, Kachin-style grilled fish with herbs which you have to order from Lin at least a day in advance ($15 to $20 for a 900g to 1kg fish). There's also Myanmar 'cai png', where you can choose from Lin's repertoire of rotating dishes that includes spicy eggplants and curried lady's fingers.

While kopitiam food stalls are usually not allowed to sell their own beverages to avoid competition with the main drinks stall, Lin got special permission from his coffee shop’s proprietor to serve Lah Phat Yay, milk tea that’s brewed with Myanmar black tea leaves. Also on his menu: the popular dessert drink Faluda, which comes with vanilla ice cream, rose syrup and basil seeds.
