Explore Burmese history, culture, and art through a tasting of traditional foods and flavors.

Explore Burmese history, culture, and art through a tasting of traditional foods and flavors. Learn why Burma is also called Myanmar, experience authentic art forms, and discover how the country’s culture reflects its region despite its complex history and ongoing conflict.

The tasting includes Burmese milk tea and biscuits, the famous tea leaf salad made with fermented tea leaves and fresh vegetables, and cassava cake, a beloved dessert. Attendees will leave with all three recipes and inspiration to explore more Burmese cuisine. Please register!
