It is no wonder that many of us aspire to"be more Burmese culture", which has rapidly expanded over the past four years. Moreover, we believe traditional foods of the once-isolated country of Myanmar may eventually be as ubiquitous in America as Thai and Indian cuisines.
For most people, travel to Myanmar, the largest country in Southeast Asia, is the best way to sample traditional Burmese food. And now, we choose top 7 must-try dishes in Burmese delicacies.

Mohinga is a national dish of Myanmar . Flavored with turmeric, ginger, chili powder, garlic and lemongrass, this fish soup is breakfast in a bowl. It is also a street food snack or the main dish of a comforting meal. The fish broth is always served with rice or thin, flat rice noodles.

It is a version of fast food, and the typical base is rice in one form or another. The dominating ingredient may be ginger (gyin thoke), tea leaves (laphet thoke), lemongrass fish (nga htamin thoke) or another of the twenty or so variations. Bits of dried shrimp and roasted sesame seeds and peanuts give the “salad” crunch, and lime juice, fish sauce and/or peanut oil dress it.

Ground and strained chickpeas instead of soybeans give this tofu a pudding-like texture(Turmeric, which seems to be everywhere in Burmese cooking, may be added to heighten the tofu’s golden yellow color. In a Shan village, making the tofu is a communal affair, but in Western kitchens it can be made with chickpea flour. Shan style tofu is a Burmese staple and is used in dishes from soup to salad.

It is the sauce that makes this chicken feet salad (S$2) a delicacy in its own right with its intense flavour, thanks to a mix of soy sauce, lemon, vinegar and brown sugar giving it a sweet edge and crunchy bits of roasted sesame. Sweet and savory, juicy and tender, this is how this salad dish tastes like. Very appetizing!
