Pairing Mohinga correctly — a note on lahpet yay tea leaf tea

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Mohinga. I ordered it with lahpet yay tea leaf tea and the savoury and slightly sour elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. dried shrimp in particular became more prominent in a good way.

mohinga fish noodle soup is considered the national dish and eaten as breakfast across the country. The a traditional Burmese home breakfast is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Mohinga with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
