Temple Food at Maw Mya Monastery burma temple food Food and cuisine of the Mawlamyine people, Mon State The food of the Mon people in Mawlamyine is similar to general Burmese cuisine. There are no special Mon dishes clearly distinct, nor Mon-specific restaurants. What I saw were food pots served in bowls with various chili pastes, typical of Burmese food in all regions. However, this city has more Chinese restaurants mixed with Mawlamyine dishes. At a Chinese restaurant, I ordered Mawlamyine-style fried chicken which was very delicious, and the fried rice was also tasty.
My favorite restaurant is about 150 meters to the right from where I stayed. Mawlamyine also has a Chinatown. There are Burmese people who have lived in Thailand and opened several delicious Thai restaurants, about four or five. If you want to eat stir-fried basil with fried egg, this city won't disappoint. Along the Salween River, there are 2-3 restaurants built over the water, serving local Burmese food with a nice presentation. I thought they were expensive, so I didn't try them. For breakfast, I ate hotel food with boiled eggs.
Bread and coffee for breakfast. For lunch, I ate at Chinese or Burmese restaurants or walked to find half a roasted duck for 150 baht, like the one I had at Peking Restaurant. While walking around downtown Mawlamyine, there are coffee shops and freshly steamed buns along the street, popular with locals. I tried them and they were delicious, giving me a glimpse into the lifestyle of the Mawlamyine people. For dinner or nighttime meals, walk 200 meters to the left from the hotel.
This is the Mawlamyine night market by the Salween River, with about 10 stalls selling grilled food, fried rice, and roti. There are tables to sit and enjoy the dark river view with a cool breeze, creating a great atmosphere. Actually, it’s not a late-night market, it closes around 10 PM. There is a very tasty shrimp fried rice stall there, affordable and delicious, perfect for dining by the Salween River with a cool breeze. Recommended budget and good hotels in Mawlamyine include Breeze Guesthouse where I stayed for 6 nights, the best cheap and good option in Mawlamyine, and Cinderella Hotel.
