Rest : Asian Street Kitchen
Meal : Dinner
Loc : Chowpatty
A serious hankering for noodles hit last week and we decided to go check out Burma Bumra, however being the new kind on the block, they refuse to keep tables for walk-in's and we were told not to bother coming.Next option was our club and on our way we got massively and quite oddly traffucked.

Spotted the sign for Asian Street Kitchen and decided to hop in rather than spend another 20 mins trying to get through.
anyway, the menu is Asian as you probably guessed, its the new fad, being the 5th or 6th Asian restaurant in the last 12 months. Italian was du jour the year before.
the menu does not waver far from the usual suspects, familiar soups, appetizers etc. they also serve Pho, Laksa et al, so its like a greatest hits of asian cuisine and leads to a please everyone menu (which is fine) However its yet another place that misses out on Malaysian dishes, so no Roti Canai or Coconut Rice in the style.
the space is tight but comfortable and split across two levels, not a fan of the weirdo lighting though, feels quite odd.
horrible table sauces, just horrible.
mushroom skewers were just awesome, gobbled them down very very quick. the teriyaki was sweetish but the mushrooms held up well.
no drinks, so this is what you get.
the steamed garlic wontons were also very good, tasted brilliant, thoroughly enjoyable.
the khau suey was massive (this was an individual portion)
but it was actually not very good. lacked any serious flavour, pretty weak.
usually avoid getting the regular Thai curries as am very partial to the Green at Koh & the Red at Thai Pavilion. Went for the Sri Lankan curry which looked interesting. unfortunately it came with Paneer :( and looked and tasted like a not so good, garden variety green curry.
Overall, i didn't have high hopes for the space in all honesty, considering location i figured it would be going after the lowest common denominator in terms of flavor. Very pleasantly surprised by the appetizers which i would return for anyday but the mains are where the wheels totally came off.
