Bedeutung
A curry dish with meat.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The 'oil-returning' (Si-pyan) style of meat curry is a point of national pride. A good meat curry should have a layer of clear, reddish oil on top, which preserves the meat and flavors the rice. During the Buddhist Lent (July to October), many Burmese people become more mindful of their meat consumption, sometimes avoiding 'A-thar-hinn' on full moon days. When serving 'A-thar-hinn' to guests, it is polite to use a 'serving spoon' and ensure the guest gets the best pieces of meat, not just the gravy. In Upper Myanmar (Mandalay), meat curries tend to be richer and oilier, while in Lower Myanmar (Yangon/Delta), they might include more aquatic ingredients or be slightly lighter.
The 'Si-pyan' Secret
If you want to sound like a local, compliment the 'Si-pyan' (oil separation) of the meat curry. It's the ultimate sign of a good cook.
Beef Sensitivity
Be aware that some Buddhists in Myanmar do not eat beef (A-me-thar). Always check before serving beef 'A-thar-hinn' to guests.
