I had some time to kill between appointments in the Greenwood area so I consulted the saved placed to eat map on Google that my husband created. It showed the closest restaurant was Kimu Restaurant. This is a Burmese restaurant. I’ve have never eaten the cuisine so I was excited to try it out.
I went in and was seated immediately. The lovely waitress brought over a menu and some iced water. It took me quite a bit of time to decide what to eat. I had heard of Samusas before but never had a chance to try them. They are fried pastries filled with potatoes and onions served with a hot sauce. They were brought to the table and arrived golden brown and delicious(I like to call it GBD). They were piping hot but I have to say the sauce was a great compliment. I thoroughly enjoyed them.
The main dish was a hard choice but in the end I ordered the steamed whole fish. I’ve seen it on a few menus and today seemed like a good day to make it happen. She didn’t know what type of fish but it didn’t really matter. She informed me it would take about 20 minutes and made sure that was ok. I had plenty of time to just relax and take on the atmosphere. Lots of people came and went as I sat there. They did a lot of take out and many people came in to dine as well.
My fish finally arrived. It was served in a broth of sorts with several vegetables and smelled so fragrant. I do believe there were pieces of lemongrass there too. I also spotted carrots, green onion, and tomatoes. It was accompanied by a side of steamed rice and a bowl of a sauce which contained Thai chilis maybe because boy it was spicy. Funny thing is I’m not a huge spicy fan but I just kept eating it. The fish dipped into it was fantastic. I had tears running down my face from the heat but that didn’t stop me. I enjoyed the meal so much.
I asked for another glass of water and the check. The meal was more than I could have asked for especially since I didn’t know what I was getting myself into. If you are adventurous go visit Kimu Restaurant and try something new. I’m so glad I did. Until next time grab a fork and knife and get eating. Let me know what your favorite cuisine is. I’m always open to new ideas..
