Food & Drink

Taste the vibrant fusion of flavors in Burmese cuisine.

Burmese food is a blend of seafood, noodles, and rice spiced with a variety of spices. Along with these, fruits are also an integral part of their diet. The food spices and techniques are mostly influenced by its neighbours — India, China, and Thailand. Nan Gyi Thoke is a must-try dish, which is a salad of rice noodles, chicken or beef curry, chilli oil, coriander, sliced shallots, and chickpea powder. If tofu is something you crave, try Burmese Tofu. It is made from chickpeas and can be enjoyed in the form of fritters served with a tangy tamarind dip. With one bite, you'll experience instant pleasure.

The Burmese food is diverse, and even their beverages are diverse. Some of the popular beverages include Myanmar Beer and Moh Let Phet. The Myanmar Beer is a light lager, perfect for summer. Moh Let Phet is a sweet palm toddy made from the sap of toddy palm trees.

Exploring these culinary delights is an essential part of the Myanmar experience. Don't miss it!
