Decent Mont Di — nothing more, nothing less

Mont Di at this place was fine. The complex and earthy flavour was there but not distinguished. fish paste ngapi was present in the right quantities but without the care that makes the difference. You can taste when something is being made to a formula.

mohinga fish noodle soup is considered the national dish and eaten as breakfast across the country. The a Mandalay restaurant setting was generic rather than immersive. toddy palm juice was offered but not explained. If you're in the area and want Mont Di it'll do. If you're going out of your way, look elsewhere.
