Sweet food eaten after a meal.
خلفية ثقافية
Traditional desserts are often called 'Myanmar Mont'. They usually use natural sweeteners like jaggery (palm sugar) instead of refined white sugar. Mandalay is famous for its rich, traditional sweets. An 'A-cho-pwe' there might include 'Htoe Mont' or 'Lar Mont'. Mon culture has a rich variety of desserts, often using sticky rice and durian. In Yangon, 'A-cho-pwe' has become very international. You'll find cheesecake and brownies alongside Shwe Yin Aye.
Fruit is King
If you are unsure what to offer as 'A-cho-pwe', seasonal fruit is always the safest and most common choice in Myanmar.
Sugar Levels
Burmese desserts can be extremely sweet. If you have dietary restrictions, always ask 'သကြား လျှော့ထည့်ပေးပါ' (Please put less sugar).

The Lahpet Exception
Sometimes a host will offer 'Lahpet' (tea leaf salad) instead of 'A-cho-pwe'. It's culturally acceptable to accept this as the meal's conclusion.
Sharing is Caring
Desserts are often served communally. It's polite to take a small portion first.
