Khauk Swè Thohk exceeded every expectation

I went in with low expectations — I'd had mediocre versions before. What I found was Khauk Swè Thohk made with real commitment to fish paste ngapi and technique. The complex and earthy result was more complex and satisfying than anything I'd had before.

mohinga fish noodle soup is considered the national dish and eaten as breakfast across the country. The a Yangon tea shop was exactly right for this kind of eating. fresh lime soda was offered as the natural choice and it elevated everything. When a dish you thought you knew surprises you completely, that's worth celebrating. Five stars without hesitation.
