The countdown has begun. It looks as though my all-time favorite restaurant Little Rangoon – Taste of Burma in Scottsdale, Arizona is going to shut its doors on May, 29th. I have only eighteen days to learn all that I can regarding how to shop for, prepare, cook, and accessorize the many dishes I have come to love since Caroline and I first ate here last July. Elizabeth has welcomed me into the kitchen with a camera and notebook at the ready to capture the recipes and methods for preparing these incredible dishes. The one dish I wanted above all others was the recipe for making Green Tea Salad also known as Lapet Thoke. I still hope for a reprieve where the landlord will come to his senses at the last minute sparing the ax from falling on this sole Burmese restaurant in all of Arizona.
