Products from all over the country were found there \u2013 mats, trays,\u00a0<\/span>fruits, dried fish, boxes made of cane or bamboo or palm leaves, bags\u00a0<\/span>and hand-woven textiles in colorful patterns and tha-na-kha(Burmese\u00a0<\/span>women’s favorite natural make-up) and so on. This part of the festival\u00a0<\/span>grounds was, for me, a wonderland! Where I may wander and browse for\u00a0<\/span>hours and come away finally loaded with pretty little things.<\/span><\/p>\n

There were rows of food stalls and I could try varieties of Burmese\u00a0<\/span>snacks. I could not help to try a mohn-hin-gar a dish with hot thick\u00a0<\/span>fish soup or a dish of Burmese noodles with chicken curry and so many\u00a0<\/span>Burmese dishes along the pagoda ground. By smelling their sweet\u00a0<\/span>smells, I did not want to miss it. As I walked through the\u00a0<\/span>never-ending food fare paradise, the air was thick with heavy smell of\u00a0<\/span>frying. I also tried a grand carnival of crispies or pan-cakes or\u00a0<\/span>gourd crispies with green lettuce celery and sauce of tamarind pulp<\/span>
and hot chillies. Oh! What a taste!<\/span><\/p>\n

I also saw the temporary roof made with strong cloth which was for\u00a0<\/span>Burmese show \u2013 Burmese ZatPwe (an entertainment of music, song and\u00a0<\/span>dances) which attracted people to watch it the whole night.\u00a0<\/span>Cripses and snacks were plentiful on the festival grounds. I took some\u00a0<\/span>of them home to eat. Some were best eaten on the spot. I was happy to\u00a0<\/span>wander around the festival grounds never boring watching colorful\u00a0<\/span>things all-around me.<\/span><\/p>\n

There was MoeKaung Pagoda Festival held from 9t December of 2011 to\u00a0<\/span>17th December of 2011 in Rangoon. People became crowded after 6:00PM,\u00a0<\/span>so I chose early time to see the festival. It was held once per year,\u00a0<\/span>so it was impossible to miss it!<\/span><\/p>\n
