@Ken: I believe we have, but I’ve never heard them called Barbie Cakes. Love that name. Maybe you are looking for the Burmese version of Halawa (or halwa or halva)? I’d do a search for recipes for that. Or, and I’m less confident of this: mont pyar thalet or bein mont, khauk mont.

Hi,
I just returned from Myanmar where I traveled all around the country. One of my favorite “finds” was at a street vendor in Yangon. It was a delicious sweet fritter made with sticky rice flour , palm sugar, and sesame seeds (I think there was also coconut milk in the batter. She would scoop up a ladle of batter and put it in a small wok filled with cooking oil. I did not get the Burmese name but she told my guide that they were more popularly called “Barbie Cakes.” They were puffed up in the middle and were sooooo good! Have you come across these little gems? I would love to get the recipe and have searched the internet but have had no luck in finding anything remotely similar. Can you shed some light on this for me. I would be very grateful. Thanks!

@Sandra: We are very excited for you! The people in Burma are lovely (so is their food, of course). The more you explore and interact with Burmese people on the street, the higher the likelihood that you will be invited back home for tea, sky beer, or a meal. Any questions about traveling to Burma, just let us know.
