Food is an important part of travelling. It is
believed that how and what a culture eats gives great insight of the country
and its people. Burmese cuisine is whisk of flavorful ingredients that make
unique dishes which are a must try. It offers a plethora of authentic dishes from
various regions of Myanmar. It’s unique yet it has subtle flavors which are
highly influenced by Chinese, Indian and Thai cuisine.
The Burmese dishes consist of largely plant or sea
food based ingredients and most of its flavors are tenuous with a balance of
sour, salty, bitter and spicy, all in one go.
One most important thing to take into consideration
is that it uses fish products such as fish sauce, and ngapi (a kind of a paste
which is made using either fish or shrimps).
Keeping that aside, rice or htamin as they call it,
is their regional specialty. The boiled rice is one of the signature dishes which
is savored widely by the locals.
If you ever happen to go to a Burmese restaurant,
you will see that a main dish will always be followed with a side dish. It can
either be soup or boiled vegetables and herbs. They are best enjoyed by pairing
with dips ranging from ngapi (fish dip) to balachaung (a combination of chili,
garlic and dried shrimp fried in oil).
