Burma Today Food Fair

Eggs, coconut cream or coconut milk, and butter or ghee all contribute to their richness.

These slices of sanwin makin, or semolina cake ($5), also featured golden raisins and white poppy seeds. They were very dense and moist as well as rich: Held between finger and thumb, a slice could scarcely support its own weight.

Also shown: a noodle salad ($5), literally made by hand (gloved hand). Some ways into my serving I was offered a bowl of very black-peppery soup on the side; it included thin slices of what might have been bitter melon.

The annual Myanmar Baptist Church Fun Fair in Briarwood, Queens has been postponed till September or October, and will move to a new location. I'll announce the details, when I have them, in my weekly listing of food-friendly events. In the meantime, you might visit Cafe Mingala, at 1393 Second Ave. in Manhattan.
