Myanmar Zongzi: Zongzi is made of glutinous rice as the main raw material and filled with ripe bananas and coconuts. This kind of zongzi is fragrant and intoxicating.
The basic food in Myanmar is mainly rice and curry. Fish sauce mixed with salad has many forms. Rice and other dishes are eaten with soup. Fish meal soup made of rice noodles and fish soup, coconut milk noodles and noodles made of coconut and curry chicken are all favorite breakfasts and light meals in Myanmar.
Myanmar is also rich in seafood. Crabs, prawns, lobsters and other shellfish are very popular dishes in most Burmese restaurants and Chinese restaurants in Yangon and other cities.
Typical Burmese restaurants serve meat and vegetables, and most Burmese restaurants also cook Chinese food and Indian food. Other Asian dishes, including Thai food, Vietnamese food, Japanese food, Korean food and Singapore food, can also be tasted in Myanmar. Western food is mainly served in hotels, while some restaurants in Yangon offer Italian food.
There are many tea shops in Myanmar, and there are also several fast food centers and bars in Yangon and Mandalay.
The taste characteristics of Burmese people are sour, spicy, light and not greasy, similar to the taste of China and Sichuan. Chili oil is usually needed on the table. I like to eat chicken, duck, fish, shrimp, shrimp sauce and fish sauce, and I like curry, which is slightly sweet, and it is best to mix it with tomatoes. In addition to eating ordinary vegetables, people also like to use fruits as food. For example, sliced mango, mixed with bean powder, shrimp, shrimp sauce, onion and fried pepper seeds, tastes sour, salty, spicy and fresh.
Burmese account for the majority of Myanmar's population and live in all parts of the country. According to Buddhist custom, Burmese people only eat two meals a day, and the meal time is about 9 am and 5 pm. Because Myanmar is the land of rice, Burmese people take rice as their staple food, and the dishes are also very simple, using curry as seasoning. When eating, people sit around a low table, squatting or sitting cross-legged. There is a bowl of curry soup, a dish of fish and shrimp sauce and several glasses of water on the table. People grab rice into their mouths with their thumbs, forefinger and middle finger. Sometimes, put a spoon in the soup bowl for public use. Generally speaking, all families are forbidden to drink alcohol, but you can drink alcohol in hotels. After dinner, people go to the water tank to wash their hands, and then drink water, smoke or chew betel nut.
