Burmese noodles are not common in Thailand, so it’s okay if you don’t know what it looks like. But if you have a fondness for noodles, we’d say you wouldn’t miss the chance to try it.
So, the first dish that’s worth ordering once you’re here is Tohu Pyaw at ฿50 (~USD1.41). It’s savoury chickpea noodles made of sesame oil, peanuts, soy sauce, and chilli oil.

The second dish to go for is Dried Khao Soi. It’s not the Khao Soi dish that Thais usually eat, but it is less soupy, added with small white noodles, and topped with crispy flour pieces and dried shrimp. It’s a Burmese style and you can smell Burmese herbs in it.
