1. Chicken Feet Salad
Often underrated and under-appreciated, chicken feet is actually quite delicious. Other than preparing it our usual yum cha way, Burmese douse it in a homemade sauce.
It is the sauce that makes this chicken feet salad (S$2) a delicacy in its own right with its intense flavour, thanks to a mix of soy sauce, lemon, vinegar and brown sugar giving it a sweet edge and crunchy bits of roasted sesame. Sweet and savoury, juicy and tender, this is how this salad dish tastes like. Very appetizing!
You can find this along 19th Street, Chinatown Yangon.
2. Burmese Rice
Like in most Southeast Asia countries, rice is a staple in Myanmar. Very similar to our economical rice (Chap Chai Peng), one will choose curried dishes, stewed meats, sautéed green vegetables and seafood dressed with garlic and chilli paste.
The vegetable dishes cost about S$2 and the meat dishes cost about S$3. A complimentary plate of fresh vegetables is commonly eaten with various condiments such as chilli powder and ground chilli peppers.
A plate of fresh vegetables, along with various condiments such as chilli powder and ground chilli peppers, are commonly eaten together with the dishes. At the end of the meal, green tea and palm sugar (jaggery) would be served.
What I liked most about the Burmese rice experience is the low table where we have to be seated down on the floor to a veritable smorgasbord of dishes, which gives a really homely feel while dining together.
