The history of Tea leaf
Lahpet was a pre-colonial symbolic peace offering
between warring kingdoms in the history of Myanmar, and is exchanged and consumed after settling a dispute. In both pre-colonial and colonial times, lahpet was served after the civil court judge has made a verdict; if the arbitrators ate the lahpet, this signified formal acceptance of the verdict. Laphet remains a traditional Burmese gesture of hospitality, served to guests when visiting homes. 2. Mohinga No conversation about Myanmar food is complete without a mention of mohinga. This tempting dish is made from round rice noodles served in a hearty, herbal-based broth, often supplemented with the crunchy pith of the banana tree. It is a favorite breakfast dish, but also a common snack at any time of day or night. More information The origins of mohinga are difficult to pinpoint in the absence of extant records. Food processing tools dating to the Pyu city- states used to ferment rice have been discovered, leading to the conclusion that the tradition of making rice vermicelli, the key starch used in mohinga, has a long history. The earliest reference to mohinga dates to the Konbaung dynasty, in the poet U Ponnya's alinga verse poem. Burmese history researcher Khin Maung Nyunt has concluded that during pre-colonial times, mohinga was likely a commoner's dish, as a recipe for "mohinga" has not been found in palatial records and cookbooks 3.
