My Favorite Food

929 Words4 Pages

Of all Burmese(Myanmar) street food, none of the food is better than mohinga. I used to eat a lot when I was a child. Mohinga is a Burmese dish that is a soup made with a fish base. It is commonly referred as “Burma’s signature dish”. It was really popular among my people even today here in United State because it was easily available, customized and can be eaten in many different variations. That’s why it is sold almost everywhere, from restaurants to street vendors. My favorite food is mohinga because it has sour, salty, and spicy taste, for example, it brings back memories of my hometown, school, friends, and culture that I left behind. It is a food that I never get tired of how many times I eat. Also, you can eat anytime of a day, but most people eat as their breakfast. I always remember the first time I ate with my mom and my sister. It was in front of our school restaurant.
Since I was young, mohinga has been my favorite thing to eat, no matter what time of a day, I can eat for breakfast, lunch, and sometime dinner, and I couldn’t resist it without eating when I see it in front of me. Just the sight of lemongrass, chili, and fish soup poured over noodle in a bowl makes my mouth like a kid at a zoo eyeing for some ice cream. The first time I ate was with my mom and my sister. It was during exam weeks, my mom would always take us to a restaurant in front of our school, and there were many people since it was a really popular restaurant. I could hear the sound of water

    It happened while I was practicing improvising on the blues. My playing started awkwardly and clumsily -- the notes plodded out of the horn in a lazy line. I felt my body begin to move with the rhythm of the music, the syncopation coursing through me as my eyes closed. I snapped into consciousness. I was playing better, but disconcertingly, half an hour had flown by without me realizing it.
