Mohinga
Mohinga
Cherished as Burma’s national dish, mohinga is an amazing noodle soup that is a typical example of the earthy flavours of Burmese cuisine. Mohinga also known as rice noodle served with fish soup, is the stunning Myanmar dish enjoyed by all Burmese people for both breakfast and on special occasions. Can be served everywhere, the flavor of mohinga – a typical bowl featuring thin, round rice noodles, lemongrass, ginger, fish sauce, the pith of a banana tree’s stalk and some lentils or vegetables is regionally different. The dish is seasoned to taste with a squeeze of lime and/or flakes of dried chili. It is hearty and filling, but not overly heavy or oily like so many other Burmese dishes. Myanmar travel packages

You will have to spend time twice as long as you should when getting on bus journeys in Burma. To ease your tiredness, bus driver will often stop at a roadside restaurant along the way where you can enjoy the vast multi-course thalis including rice, soup, fresh vegetables, curry, chili sauce with only $1.00-2.00 for all. However, quality of food varies. The way from Meikthila to Bagan is one of the best places where you can enjoy Bagan street food.
Guacamole and “Special Eggplant”

The Moon Vegetarian Restaurant just inside the gates of Old Bagan, situated to the north of Ananda temple is the most ideal spot for you to enjoy guacamole – a stunning dish of mashed avocado mixed with chopped onion, tomatoes, chili peppers, and seasoning in Burma. An American tourist taught the cooks how to cook this flavorful dish by churning out delicious guacamole with crispy baked paper-thin bread at a local vegetarian restaurant. For a much more local authentic dish: the candi mi po tho dish, a dish served with roasted eggplant stir fried coming with spring onions, peanuts, garlic, roasted sesame seeds and a dash of hot pepper is a perfect choice.

Kneaded technically with turmeric oil, Shan-style rice noodles are thin, flat, sticky and delicious. Served together with ground chicken or pork, onions, chili and roasted peanuts in a really delicious broth or full soup, this dish attracts tourists at the first time tasting. Round yellowish seed flour brings this stunning traditional soup from a velvety thick texture of Burmese Shan people to be an amazing change of pace from the other Asian soups. Compared to most Burmese noodle dishes, Shan-style rice noodles are relatively simple, verging on bland, but is reassuringly easing and consistently appealing.
