What Burmese curry is
Slow-cooked pork or chicken curry with rice.
Burmese curry is listed as a dish in the Myanmar guide, where the index tags it rice-based and pork. Treat those labels as a menu translation rather than the full picture. Portion size, garnish and cooking method change from one counter to the next, and so does the price.
