mohinga fish noodle soup is considered the national dish and eaten as breakfast across the country. I encountered it first in a traditional Burmese home breakfast and that context helped me understand it properly. fresh lime soda is the natural accompaniment and the combination makes the case for the dish. If you haven't explored this cuisine seriously, Balachaung is the dish to start with.
