Htay Naing is back in black – Black Rock, actually.
As Nine & Night, the Burmese cook drew crowds and made faithful regulars at the former West Side Bazaar, where was one of the busiest restaurants.
After a fire knocked out the facility, Abyssinia Ethiopian Cuisine and Nile River, its South Sudanese restaurant, re-emerged at the Downtown Bazaar. In Hamburg, 007 Chinese Food carried on its dim sum offerings.
Questions about whether Nine & Night would once again serve its heady green curry, black pepper beef, and bracing green papaya salad never stopped coming, until Naing opened in March. In a quiet, sunny dining room across the street from Spar’s European Sausage, with a view of Church of the Assumption, Naing and company are bringing a new menu to the neighborhood.
