Finding the best Laphet Thohk in the city — a personal search

I spent three months trying every version of Laphet Thohk I could find locally. The variation in quality is extraordinary. The best version handled turmeric with genuine knowledge and the savoury and slightly sour result was noticeably superior.

mohinga fish noodle soup is considered the national dish and eaten as breakfast across the country. The winning restaurant had the right a Mandalay restaurant feel — unpretentious and focused on the food. toddy palm juice was suggested correctly. Worth the search. When Laphet Thohk is made properly it's a completely different experience.
