Blue Heaven, Hurtsville

I found a Burmese Thai restaurant in Hurstville which is truly a one-stop spot for a complete dining experience.  From main meals and snacks to desserts and drinks, they cover it all under one roof.  Their savoury dishes focus on Burmese cuisine. while the sweets and beverages lean towards Thai flavours.

Golden tofu

We started with the deep-fried tofu, which was a standout snack.  Served in tiny, bite-sized pieces, it was beautifully golden and crisp on the outside while staying soft inside.  Simple but yet satisfying. 

Crab spring rolls

Warm tofu noodle

I was so excited to try this dish.  It is a Shan noodle dish served with chicken and tofu gravy.  But a little disappointed.  The tofu noodle dish had a creamy texture but lacking in flavour for me.  I expected something with more pungent and more kick.

Fish noodle soup

Their mohinga, on the other side, was delicious and aromatic.  The flavour of this Burmese national dish reminded me a lot of Indonesian soto Lamongan, with its comforting, savoury broth and fragrant spices.  Overall, the savoury dishes can be a hit or a miss, but when they hit, they're quite enjoyable.

Pandan custard caramel toast - served with coconut ice cream, cookie crumbles, pandan custard and salted caramel sauce

Where Bue Heaven truly shines is in their desserts.  Their shokupan honey toast was perfectly toasted with a light brown sugar crunch coating the bread.  We tried two different toppings: the classic banana caramel and a more Southeast Asian-inspired with pandan custard and coconut ice cream.  Both were equally impressive and indulgent.  Their bingsu was another great way to end the meal.

Lod Chong bingsu - Coconut milk bingsu served with pandan vermicelli, jackfruit, coconut jelly, and a drizzle of palm sugar sauce and whipped cream

To drink, I loved their chanom or Thai milk tea, which had a slightly bitter note that kept it from being overly sweet. 

The owner also gave us a complimentary deep-fried banana, which was amazing.  The batter had the perfect thickness, making it light and crispy.  They also offer take away Thai sweets such as mango sticky rice and amazing butter cookies.

Overall, Blue Heaven is worth a visit, especially if you have a sweet tooth and enjoy exploring Burmese and Thai flavours in one place.
