Fermented tea salad: Perhaps the most famous food in Myanmar is tea salad. Burmese people often eat tea as a dessert, but sometimes tea also appears as the raw material of tea salad. To make this dish, you need to mix the sour and slightly bitter tea leaves with shredded Chinese cabbage, tomato slices, crispy fried beans, nuts and peas by hand, then pour garlic oil on them and cut the peppers and garlic. This dish is very versatile. It can be a snack, an appetizer, or a dinner with a plate of rice. Shan-style rice: This Shan-style snack, known as nga htamin (fish rice) in Burmese, is a kind of rice cooked by ginger root, freshwater fish pieces squeezed on a plate and garlic oil. Fish-in-oil rice is usually served with leek root, raw garlic cloves and fried pigskin, making it a spicy and delicious snack.

Myanmar curry rice: Eating in a traditional Myanmar restaurant is not only a meal, but also a wonderful cooking experience. As the name implies, curry is the most important element. But after you order-usually a meaty curry rice surrounded by pork, fish, shrimp, beef or mutton-a series of seemingly endless side dishes will follow. These include rice, pie salad, a small dish of fried vegetables, a small bowl of soup, a large plate of fresh semi-cooked vegetables and herbs, which are eaten with dipping sauce. Dips include ngapi ye (a local dip in Myanmar), an aqueous fish sauce, and balachaung, a mixture of Chili, garlic and fried shrimp. In a Muslim-run curry restaurant, the soup may be lentils and vegetable roots, and the side dishes may be crispy Indian cakes. After the first course, you will also have a traditional Burmese dessert, pickled tea and nuts in a lacquer plate, or a cup of coconut sugar.

Rice in Teahouses: Teahouses run by ethnic minorities in Myanmar are a good place to explore traditional Myanmar pasta and rice cuisine. Teahouses run by Indians or Muslims tend to provide fried snacks influenced by South Asia, such as Samosa Triangle jiaozi, Puli (tomato curry fried bread) and nanbya, a kind of toast, which often appears as dessert.

Desserts and snacks: Unlike western desserts, desserts in Myanmar (collectively known as moun) are not eaten as sweets alone, but as snacks, especially when drinking tea in the morning and afternoon. Moreover, unlike candy in other parts of Southeast Asia, candy in Myanmar usually gets its sweetness from ground coconut, leaf juice, rice flour, glutinous rice, cassava flour and fruit. The delicious Burmese candy is hsa nwin ma kin, a crisp cake made of wheat flour mixed with leaf juice, ghee and raisins. Bein moun and moun pyit thalet, Myanmar-style pancakes, are fragrant and sweet, much like British buns.
