| The ingredients |
This
is my very first update on cookery in my six years of blogging. I have a very
good friend named Moses and he happens to be my immediate neighbor. Today after
my classes at the university, I heard some noises at his apartment and I
checked on him with a sense of curiosity.
My apartment has residents from all
over the world, viz: Germany, Africa, Japan, Myanmar (Burma), Finland and not
to forget our very own Bhutanese.
Checking
on him, he was cooking or rather boiling some fish with lemon grass. Inside he
had some chillies mashed, some ginger, coriander leaves, lemon grass leaves,
crab meat and some fried onions. This broth or rather soup must be eaten with
rice noodles and I skipped the noodles but the soup tasted awesome.

To
make it a little limey, one can choose to add some lemon juice. That’s exactly
what Moses did. And yes not to forget the salt.

| The final Dish |
Now
for some history, this dish is called Rakhine Moudi. This is the traditional
dish of the ethnic people of Rakhine state as he tells me. Now, one can find
this dish in every corner of Myanmar.
With
international headlines on Rakhine and the Rohingyas these days,
I get to savor a piece of Myanmar in the silent city of Rangsit. Look at those
pictures, doesn’t it look flavorful?
Until
then, happy savoring folks!
