First Myanmar Cafe opens in the heart of town

Located in the School of the Arts (SOTA), Avenue’J is a newly opened cafe serving up authentic Burmese cuisine.

Avenue’J is a homegrown brand from Myanmar, with 2 outlets in Sanchaung Township, Yangon. In fact, this is the first outlet they have opened overseas! Unlike other Burmese food establishments in Singapore, Avenue’J has a warm, minimalistic aesthetic, blending modern and traditional elements seamlessly.

You can start your meal with the Lahpet Thoke (S$10), a Burmese tea leaf salad with contrasting textures and bold flavours that make for a unique and refreshing dish.

Nan Gyi Thoke (S$12) (above, left) and Mohinga (S$15) (above, right) are dishes I’ve seen many customers ordering. Nan Gyi Thoke is a thick rice noodle dish tossed in a fragrant curry sauce, while the Mohinga, Myanmar’s national dish, is an aromatic fish noodle soup.

For a cafe that focuses on Burmese cuisine, it is surprising to see quite a number of customers raving about their Brownie (S$5) too! One netizen even mentioned that it is “one of the best I have had in Singapore”.

Don’t forget their interesting drinks menu. They have a Burmese Ceylon Tea (S$6) which seems to be what most customers are ordering. This cafe also serves up specialty coffee using their own blend of coffee beans from Myanmar, for those who simply want a midday pick-me-up.

The menu at Avenue’J is broad and they have so much to offer—rice, curry, pastries and other homemade dishes.

So, if you are ever in town looking for a good study or hangout spot with something different, Avenue’J is the place to go!

In light of the recent earthquake in Myanmar, Avenue’J is also raising awareness and donating to relief efforts, and encouraging others to do the same. You can help out simply by visiting Avenue’J today.
