Like many items on the menu at Yoma, tofu jaw, or Burmese tofu, homemade from chickpea flour, is a bit of a taste revelation: so creamy, so light. From there, move on to la phet thot (green tea leaf salad, a salty, crunchy plate of ingredients unfamiliar to most American palates; pictured), ohn note khot swe (a fragrant chicken coconut soup with noodles), and more.
