Yangon, Myanmar

On a recent 3-day work trip to Yangon, i kinda fell in love with Burmese food.


Nan gyi thok - its like pho or laksa thick rice noodle with some kind of peanutty curry gravy and garnished with toasted chickpea flour, sliced onions, chilies, crispy noodles, slices of hard-boiled egg, and zested with lime. The flavours! Absolutely yummy.


We were treated to an authentic burmese sit-down meal and by sit-down i mean sitting on the floor cross-legged around a low round table. Dish after dish was served, almost like the side dishes in a korean meal... the dishes all had a curious look about them and i enjoyed this lunch very much.

Oh and fresh sliced garlic with fish sauce and lime and cut chilli as dip - loved loved loved it! i must try and make that some time.

I must try their famous mohinga next time!
