The owner of a new food business in Salt Lake City’s Granary District approaches her cooking like art, she said. “We can do many creations,” said Jadim Lahpai, the proprietor of Shwe Letyar Sushi, inside Woodbine Food Hall.
Jadim Lahpai, owner of Shwe Letyar Sushi at Woodbine Food Hall in Salt Lake, prepares food on Wednesday, April 3, 2024. Lahpai might be one of the few if not only people making and selling Burmese food options on her menu in Utah.
Jadim Lahpai's logo for her business Shwe Letyar Sushi is shown on Wednesday, April 3, 2024. Lahpai might be one of the few if not only people making and selling Burmese food in Utah. The second red dot marks Malaysia, where Lahpai spent five years after graduating from high school, Spice Kitchen’s website states. There, she met her future husband, and spent almost two years working in a sushi restaurant, she said.
Lahpai said that Utah isn’t so different from where she grew up in Myanmar, with its “big mountains and not too much people,” she said. Lahpai’s most popular sushi roll is the Shwe combo roll, which comes with crab and fried shrimp and combines spicy and sweet flavors, she said.The Shwe tea is made with a fragrant black tea imported from Myanmar. Although the Shwe tea is mixed with evaporated milk and has boba pearls stirred in, it harkens back to the Burmese tradition of welcoming visitors to one’s home with a cup of plain tea, Lahpai said.
