Burma via Queens: Eating Fish Soup for Breakfast
As we learned from our gasto-journey to Finland, churches are an excellent source for ethnic food, which is convenient for those who want to repent immediately after committing gluttony. So for our foray into Burmese cuisine, we went to the Myanmar Baptist Church’s 15th Annual Fun Fair in Briarwood, Queens, where we chowed down on home-made mohinga (fish stew), wet thar dote htoe (pig organ salad), lahpet thohk (fermented tea leaves), and falooda (squishy milkshake). Then instead of asking for forgiveness, we asked for seconds. Because we’re heathens!
