The cuisine of Myanmar has been influenced by Chinese and Indian cooking, but it has its own distinct flavour. The staple food is rice (htamin) served with mild curries (hin) made with vegetables, chicken, fish or seafood. Ngapi, a sharp-tasting, salty paste made with fermented fish, shrimp or prawns, is used to flavour many dishes. Mohinga, a popular dish, combines rice noodles and a yellow fish soup. Another favourite is thok (fruit and vegetable salad). Magyi-ywet thok is made with tamarind leaves and shauk-thi thok is made with pomelos, a fruit similar to grapefruit.

Taste of Myanmar (Monday, March 20, 2006)
A first in a Cleveland restaurant has to be the many Myanmar dishes now being served at C&Y Chinese Restaurant, 2222 St. Clair Ave., Cleveland. Myanmar, formerly Burma, is known for its spicy dishes. The grilled spicy beef slices served with a sauce and variety of vegetables; chicken with vegetables; and spicy shrimp were all first rate. C&Y does not season these dishes nearly as hot as one would get if eating them in Myanmar. But it does provide diners with a dish of hot pepper flakes and chile oil. There are also a number of vegetable dishes, soups and other items from Myanmar on the C&Y menu. Many seem not far removed from Chinese dishes, others are unfamiliar to most Cleveland palates.

Beyond Rangoon: Burmese Cuisine (Thursday, February 02, 2006)
Most of us enjoy our tea with a splash of milk or a dribble of honey, and maybe a few cookies on the side. But in Burmese cuisine, it's served up with garlic, green chiles, and nuts -- and it isn't sipped, it's chewed.

Chaophya Thai and Burma Restaurant (Wednesday, January 18, 2006)
Burmese food? Thai food? Golden Triangle cuisine by any other name is just as tasty. How many times have you said to yourself I could go for some Burmese food right about now, but where can I find some in Beijing? I¹m still looking, but when I saw the sign on Wangfujing street which read ³Chaophya Thai and Burma Restaurant² I couldn¹t resist the temptation to take a dine on the wild side. Sadly, I soon found out that there was not much in the way of actual Burmese cuisine on the menu. However, the Thai half of the sign proved to be more than true to its word, and Chaophya may well provide you with yet another of Beijing¹s geometrically-expanding excuses to leave the cooking to someone else.

Myanmar Restaurant Review Myanmar Restaurant Review (Saturday, January 14, 2006)
Myanmar Restaurant, inexpensive. Twenty-five years ago it was hard to find a Burmese restaurant in Rangoon, much less outside of the country, now called Myanmar. The one Burmese restaurant in Rangoon back then catered to the few tourists. Now there are several such places in Washington.
