From a press release:
“WHAT: Hello, Toli Moli! A Burmese Dessert Pop-Up
WHERE: EatsPlace, 3607 Georgia Avenue NW, Washington, D.C. 20010
WHEN: January 30, 2016, 11:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.
COST: Free Entry, $7-9 per serving
On Saturday, January 30, 2016, from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Jocelyn Law-Yone and her daughter, Simone Jacobson, will introduce Toli Moli, their unique Burmese dessert concept, at the food incubator and restaurant accelerator EatsPlace.
During this one-time special event and company launch, Washingtonians will be the first to taste Toli Moli’s three distinct flavors of falooda, a layered dessert drink popular throughout Southeast Asia and the Middle East. Drawing inspiration from the many variations of this beloved street snack, Toli Moli’s novelty faloodas are stacked with superfoods and use primarily natural ingredients. After a year of experimenting to create her own falooda with the best possible ingredients, Chef JoJo (Law-Yone) will debut a limited menu at the Toli Moli launch, including mango, coffee and pomegranate flavors of falooda “shakes”, reminiscent of the sweetest bites of her childhood in Burma.
Growing up in Rangoon, Burma during a robust era, Chef JoJo learned at an early age that quality food is an essential ingredient for good dinner conversations. As a child, she often followed her relatives to the market and watched how they used fresh ingredients to create fragrant and delicious meals from scratch. Remembering her falooda days in Rangoon fondly, Chef JoJo hopes her own version will be enjoyed anytime people seek to create new memories with their own family and friends here in Washington, D.C.
“Guests at my family’s dinner table in Rangoon were from all parts of the globe and our kitchen was always bustling to meet their culinary needs,” said Law-Yone, Toli Moli co-founder and culinary entrepreneur. “But no matter how animated the conversation was or how full our guests were, if ever there was a mention of a trip to the falooda shop, there would be a scramble to pile into cars to get that sweet treat.”
Toli Moli’s falooda will range in price from $7 – $9 and will be available until sold out on a first-come, first-served basis. Additionally, the first 50 guests who RSVP via the Eventbrite link (http://www.hellotolimoli.eventbrite.com/) will also receive a free t-shirt while supplies last.”

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
