Yangon, Myanmar / Burma

It took me some days to write a new post. Last days in Burma were really adventurous, small back roads, great people and first hand insight into real Myanmar. A week ago I was looking forward to going back to Bangkok and Cambodia, but when the moment came I was so sad to go... But then decided to finish in a style and opted for a classy restaurant on a last evening. Unfortunately as it often does, after eating street food for weeks, it was a big disappointment. The worst was that eventually famous revenge of Asia finally got me after two months. I think it was the white table cloth. Luckily enough I had a private room in Bangkok...

But Burmese food is not so bad :-) Oily but generous, few vegetables but amazing fruits, bony meat but tasty fish. And curry is just a small part of the whole dish. There  is always plenty of side dishes to go with - they are not very diverse though. Boiled fish paste, dried fish paste, pound fish paste, fish paste curry and powder fish paste to name just a few. And you can always ask for fish soup as an extra side dish...
