If you live in the Bay area and haven't been to Burma Superstar, then you need to change that...STAT. This place is always crowded, granted it is a super small restaurant, but still. I often crave their Samusa Soup, which is a thick spiced broth with potatoes and peas filled fritters and falafels. My mouth is watering just writing about it. We always get the soup and their Tea Leaf Salad. Yes, you heard it right, tea leaves...in your salad. Don't cringe just yet...its not the regular English Breakfast tea leaves. In fact its fermented green tea leaves, which means the tea leaves are steeped in hot water and then blended with spices. It sounds strange but this happens to be their most popular dish. My husband, who doesn't like drinking tea or coffee, actually enjoys eating this salad. I always make him try weird food and I almost always fail to impress. But this tea leaf salad was a winner.

We go to restaurants for every special occasional but on Valentine's day, I wanted to continue the tradition of cooking together, so this year we made Sushi. Neither of us had made Sushi before so it was fun trying to figure it out and watch YouTube videos of how to make a Sushi roll. It seems so intimidating at first but after a few tries, we got a hang of it and made the perfect sushi roll by the time we were on our 4th one. :)
