If something can be called a bowl of happiness, this could well be it, that's perfect for a winter.
Khow Suey is a Burmese (from Burma) noodle dish with a delicately spiced coconut milk soup and is served up with an array of different contrasting condiments/toppings, each spoon full of soup you eat will be bursting with flavours! This is a one-pot meal which is made with the goodness of various exotic vegetables and boiled noodles. Khow Suey is probably the first thing that comes to mind when you think about Burmese cuisine, my family's all time favourite
