I’ve been having a hard time eating in Myanmar because while I am not a picky eater, I didn’t expect Myanmar’s food to be hmm.. not my type? Also, I have trust issues in terms of how well they prepare the food. When the food was served to us, the food was not warm, the smell was not appetizing, at least to me. So I only ate the hard-boiled egg that was included. The rest was eaten by my father. That dinner was probably the least appetizing meal I had in Myanmar.
