What Mohinga is
Rice noodle soup with fish broth and chickpea fritters.
Mohinga is listed as a dish in the Myanmar guide, where the index tags it noodles and seafood. That is the useful shorthand, but it is not the whole story: the same name can cover a breakfast version, a street version and a restaurant version with different garnishes and prices.
Where to find Mohinga
Mohinga is listed as nationwide rather than tied to one city, so it is a safe thing to look for wherever you land in Myanmar. Markets and casual counters are the best value; the sit-down restaurant version is usually larger and more expensive.
The Myanmar guide also covers 5 dishes and 2 bakery items; open the country page for the full menu and the other places in the index.
