Why Mohinga deserves more attention

Mohinga rarely gets the international recognition it deserves. The warming with turmeric complexity is genuine, not simple, and the technique involved in using dried shrimp correctly takes real skill. laphet fermented tea leaf salad is a uniquely Burmese ingredient used in salads and as a stimulant…

Pairing Mohinga correctly — a note on lahpet yay tea leaf tea

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Mohinga. I ordered it with lahpet yay tea leaf tea and the savoury and slightly sour 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 con…

Honest verdict on Mohinga — good but not exceptional

Mohinga here was solidly made — pungent and fermented without anything to complain about. lemongrass was present and handled reasonably. But something was missing from the depth that this dish should have. laphet fermented tea leaf salad is a uniquely Burmese ingredient used in salads and as a stim…

Traditional versus modern Mohinga — which wins?

I've now had Mohinga prepared traditionally and in a modern interpretation. Both are interesting. The traditional version emphasises dried shrimp in the way mohinga fish noodle soup is considered the national dish and eaten as breakfast across the country. The complex and earthy character is more pr…

Best Mohinga I've had — and I've tried a few

Having eaten Mohinga at several restaurants over the past year, I can say this version is the best. The savoury and slightly sour quality is more pronounced here than anywhere else I've tried. turmeric is handled with real knowledge — you can taste the difference. This is proper a Yangon tea shop c…

Mohinga as comfort food — exactly what I needed

Some dishes exist to comfort and Mohinga is absolutely in that category. The savoury and slightly sour quality works on something almost primal — you feel the warmth of it immediately. turmeric does work that no substitute can replicate. laphet fermented tea leaf salad is a uniquely Burmese ingredi…

The pungent and fermented flavours are unlike anything in my usual rotation and I mean that positively. laphet fermented tea leaf salad is a uniquely Burmese ingredient used in salads and as a stimulant snack.

Ingredient appreciation — what makes Mohinga special

What sets Mohinga apart is the handling of turmeric. In lesser versions this is treated as a background note. Here it's central and the pungent and fermented result shows it. I've started buying it to cook with at home after this experience. laphet fermented tea leaf salad is a uniquely Burmese ing…

Comparing Mohinga across three restaurants — an honest verdict

I ate Mohinga at three different restaurants in the same week to compare. The results were illuminating. The use of fermented tea leaves laphet varied significantly — only one got it right. The pungent and fermented profile should be consistent but interpretation differs widely. laphet fermented te…

Mohinga for a dinner party — went down extremely well

I made Mohinga for eight guests who had varying familiarity with the cuisine. Every single person asked for the recipe. The pungent and fermented profile was the main talking point — no one had quite experienced fish paste ngapi used that way before. laphet fermented tea leaf salad is a uniquely Bu…
