Food & Drink Enjoy the exotic cuisine of Myanmar Myanmar’s food has a special identity. Although its neighbouring countries influence the cuisine, the food has its distinct identity. A typical Myanmar meal is arranged around rice with accompanying dishes of fish or meat cooked in onion and garlic-based gravy. Soup can be clear, creamy or tart and is sipped during the meal to cleanse the palate. Salads are a popular side dish and some, such as the pickled tea leaf salad called lahpet, are eaten as snacks. Mohinga, a thick fish broth with thin rice noodles, is arguably Myanmar’s most famous national dish and is typically eaten for breakfast. Another delicious choice is the popular ohno kaukswe, a coconut-based chicken soup with noodles. Tea is a staple drink in Myanmar, and tea shops are great for not only starting your day with a strong drink, but for people-watching as well. Tea is typically served hot with sweet, condensed milk added to cut its strong natural earthiness. Standout Myanmar sweets are quite simple and consist of coconut, tapioca, rice flour, and fruits. Favourites include iced coconut milk with tapioca, and Mont Lone Ye Baw, which are rice dumplings stuffed with sugar and topped with shredded coconut. TEA LEAF SALAD Tea leaf salad is a favourite of locals. The pickled tea leaf is mixed with a variety of beans and nuts for a flavourful dish that is full of texture. Pickled tea leaves have always had a cultural significance in Myanmar with Laphat being used as a peace offering between kingdoms at war in ancient times MANDALAY MYEE SHAY Mandalay Myee Shay is a theme snack of Myanmar. As the name suggests, this food originates from Mandalay. It is a rice noodles dish with meat sauce. Also, try the Myay-oh Meeshay which is a variety of the Mandalay Myee Shay but served with a large quantity of soup and fresh vegetables. MONT HINN KHAR A vibrant fish-based broth, Mont Hin Ga is the ideal way to start the day for most in Myanmar. It is widely considered by most to be the National dish of Myanmar. The soup native to Southern Myanmar where fresh fish is readily available, Mont Hin Khar is prepared with rice noodles and a host of flavorful herbs and spices such as ginger, garlic, onion and lemongrass. Best served hot with an assortment of accompaniments like squash fritters, boiled egg, fish cake, cilantro and chilli, Mont Hin Khar is a mouthwatering combination of goodness. NANG GYI THOKE Nan Gyi Thoke is a salad dish of the country made with thick rice noodles and is combined with chicken curry, sliced hard-boiled egg, bean powder and topped with onions, cilantro, lime and chilli.
