Why Mont Di deserves more attention

Mont Di rarely gets the international recognition it deserves. The complex and earthy complexity is genuine, not simple, and the technique involved in using dried shrimp correctly takes real skill.

mohinga fish noodle soup is considered the national dish and eaten as breakfast across the country. I encountered it first in a Mandalay restaurant and that context helped me understand it properly. Myanmar Beer is the natural accompaniment and the combination makes the case for the dish. If you haven't explored this cuisine seriously, Mont Di is the dish to start with.
