Finding the best Khauk Swè Thohk in the city — a personal search

I spent three months trying every version of Khauk Swè Thohk I could find locally. The variation in quality is extraordinary. The best version handled turmeric with genuine knowledge and the savoury and slightly sour result was noticeably superior.

laphet fermented tea leaf salad is a uniquely Burmese ingredient used in salads and as a stimulant snack. The winning restaurant had the right a Yangon tea shop feel — unpretentious and focused on the food. fresh lime soda was suggested correctly. Worth the search. When Khauk Swè Thohk is made properly it's a completely different experience.
