(အုန်းနို့ခေါက်ဆွဲ, Ohn no kauk swe, On no khauk swe, Ohn no khauk sway, Ohn no khau swe)

Ohn no khao swè, meaning noodles with coconut milk, is a traditional dish that is believed to have inspired the creation of Thailand’s khao sai. It consists of boiled egg noodles and pieces of curried chicken smothered in a creamy coconut-milk-and-chicken soup.


The soup is typically thickened with chickpea flour, and it usually comes with an array of different garnishes and condiments. Typical ingredients added to this dish for enhanced flavor and texture include slices of hard-boiled eggs, crispy fried noodles, bean or chickpea fritters, fresh cilantro, green onions, soaked yellow onions, lime or lemon slices, ngapi fish sauce, and red chili flakes.


In Myanmar, this specialty is a popular street food item, and it is commonly enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Ohn no khao swè can also be found in numerous eateries, restaurants, cafés, and hotels across the country.
