Pairing Ohno Khao Swè correctly — a note on lahpet yay tea leaf tea

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Ohno Khao Swè. I ordered it with lahpet yay tea leaf tea and the pungent and fermented elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. dried shrimp in particular became more prominent in a good way.

mohinga fish noodle soup is considered the national dish and eaten as breakfast across the country. The a mohinga street stall at dawn is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Ohno Khao Swè with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
