Shan Noodles as comfort food — exactly what I needed

Some dishes exist to comfort and Shan Noodles is absolutely in that category. The savoury and slightly sour quality works on something almost primal — you feel the warmth of it immediately. lemongrass does work that no substitute can replicate.

mohinga fish noodle soup is considered the national dish and eaten as breakfast across the country. There's something about the a Mandalay restaurant context that reinforces the comfort effect. fresh lime soda alongside is the traditional way and it makes complete sense. I come back to this dish when I need something dependable and restorative.
