mr.hotsia@Ngapali 10/20: Ngapali Dinner Myanmar

Ngapali Beach is one of the destinations mr.hotsia wants to revisit in Myanmar. Besides the beautiful and peaceful beach, the dinner here is an unmissable experience, especially at local seaside restaurants serving fresh seafood from Ngapali.

After a day filled with walking along the fine white sandy beach and watching the breathtaking sunset, mr.hotsia chose to sit at an old wooden table by the shore, watching the dim light from lanterns swaying in the sea breeze, accompanied by the gentle sound of waves crashing as the backdrop for tonight's dinner.

The menu mr.hotsia chose started with “Ngapali Grilled Fish.” The fish here is so fresh it hardly needs much seasoning. Just a sprinkle of salt and pepper, grilled over charcoal until the skin is crispy and the flesh inside tender and juicy. The smoky aroma from the charcoal gives a unique flavor that can’t be found anywhere else in Myanmar.

Besides the grilled fish, mr.hotsia also ordered “Seafood Curry,” rich with a special local Burmese curry paste. The flavor is moderately spicy, blended with the fragrance of turmeric and other spices. Served with hot steamed rice, this dinner became an unforgettable memory.

Fresh vegetables from nearby gardens were prepared as a local salad called “Tamuyar,” a Burmese-style papaya salad tossed with vinegar and crushed roasted peanuts. The sweet and sour taste perfectly balances the crispness of the vegetables. mr.hotsia found that eating fresh food near the sea like this filled the meal with vitality and genuine happiness.

Ngapali is not only about the beach and fresh seafood but also rich in culture and the lifestyle of fishermen deeply connected to the sea. mr.hotsia recommends taking a walk through the morning market by the beach to observe the locals’ trading methods and see freshly caught fish. There are also seasonal fruits and many interesting local snacks.

For those who love adventure and want to explore nearby nature, Ngapali is located not far fromKachin Statewhere mr.hotsia once traveled to experience the source of the Irrawaddy River at Myitsone, a profound experience deeply connected to Myanmar’s natural essence.

If you visit Ngapali, don’t forget to spend time sipping local Myanmar Beer while enjoying the sea view at night. This chill atmosphere makes mr.hotsia feel like time stops and everything around becomes insignificant.

Besides seafood and beautiful sea views, Ngapali is also a cultural hub of diverse Burmese ethnic groups. The Shan and other ethnicities live around Indawgyi Lake, not far away, which mr.hotsia has documented in an article.IndawgyiThe largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia
