Traditional Myanmar ‘Poneyaygyi’ introduces 10 new menu innovations
ACCORDING to the market sources, there
are 10 menu items created from traditional Myanmar food, Poneyaygyi (fermented
horse gram paste), sold in Bagan.
These menu items include fried pork
Poneyaygyi rice, fried chicken Poneyaygyi rice, fried pork Poneyaygyi noodles,
fried chicken Poneyaygyi noodles, pork Poneyaygyi curry, chicken Poneyaygyi
curry, pork Poneyaygyi steamed rice, fried pork Poneyaygyi vegetable rice,
Poneyaygyi vermicelli, pork Poneyaygyi clay pot, and Chinese and Thai dishes,
according to Ko Nay Myo Hlaing, who created them. “In the past, many restaurants
in Bagan-NyaungU sold only three types of Poneyaygyi curries- pork-mixed curry,
salad rice and salad Poneyaygyi. We have developed many new menus in the five
years since we opened our shop because we have our unique taste and new ways.
My curries are not pre-cooked, but served hot and freshly cooked when guests
order,” he continued.
The fried pork Poneyaygyi was the first
to succeed, and the rest new items followed suit among tourists. The pork
Poneyaygyi steamed rice in a clay pot is now the most popular – about 90 out of
100 like it. The prices range from a few thousand to K3,000 to K9,000, he said.
Hot and sour pork Poneyaygyi noodles
will be his eleventh creation as a new menu item, he added. – MT/ZN
