sonne. An effort has been made to bring the cream-and-cran- berry decor a few steps up from shopping-center neutrality. The entryway is defined with spikes of bamboo and a dramatic arch resembling an elephant tusk. White tablecloths add a touch of formality. Owners Christina Win and Michael Maumg are both 20-year veterans of the restaurant business and have integrated both traditional and family recipes into the mix. Green Elephant Gourmet tones down the fiery complexity of both its Burmese and Chinese offerings, most likely as a concession to Midpen- insula sensibilities. Even chop- sticks are not provided unless specifically requested. A perfect introduction to Bur- mese cuisine is the tea-leaf salad ($10.25). Fermented green tea leaves, called laphet, are hand- mixed at the table with sesame seeds, peanuts, fried garlic, sun- flower seeds and dried yellow beans into a base of lettuce and tomatoes. It’s a pretty dish when presented, with its little piles of different-colored ingredients, and the mix is a wonderful blend of textures and flavors. The
