| The staple food is rice in Myanmar. It is a kind of non-sticky rice. But in Shan State, sticky rice is eaten.
All curries are called "Hin" in Myanmar. We can point out the fact that they also call rice and mashed potatoes "Hin".
That curry is not spicy because it is cooked with fewer spices than Indian curry like peas and potatoes. But they use a lot of oil.
The Myanmar eat various kinds of noodles. The main noodles is rice noodles Mohinga. It is usually served at social and religious functions.
A striking fact is that there is no foreign food manufacturer when curries are served at functions, it is usually free of charge. This is an old tradition of Myanmar. Compare to the neighboring countries like Thailand and China, they do not eat out much.
