Burmese Sweet Snacks – “Muon”

In contrast, the sweet West Burma dish known as "muon" is not served as a dessert but as an appetizer. It is considered one of Myanmar's best foods and is traditionally served with tea in the morning or afternoon.

And, unlike candy in other parts of Southeast Asia, Muon is a unique Myanmar food made with sweet ingredients such as coconut, coconut milk, rice flour, cooked glutinous rice, tapioca, and fruit rather than sugar.

Burmese sweets include hsa nwin, crispy semolina flour biscuits with coconut milk, butter, and raisins; and moun bein and moun pyit thalet, Burmese-style crepes with a consistency hole and a consistency similar to a wet crepe English.
