Street food Danbauk — the authentic version
The best Danbauk I've ever had came from a street stall, not a restaurant. The pungent and fermented intensity was completely different — more direct and uncompromised. dried shrimp was used without hesitation, the way it should be.
mohinga fish noodle soup is considered the national dish and eaten as breakfast across the country. The a Yangon tea shop setting meant eating standing up or on a low stool, which is how this food is supposed to be encountered. toddy palm juice was sold right next to it. Don't wait to find the 'right' restaurant. Find the street version first.
