About Us
The name "Nan yang" originated from old Chinese sea-going maps. "Nan" means south and "Yang" means sea. Thus, "Nan Yang" refers to the area known today as south pacific. More specifically, Nan Yang refers to the countries in the southern pacific region: Burma, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. The regional cooking of this area is known particularly for its use of spices such as chili, cinnamon, coconut milk, curry, fennel and lemongrass. "What is Burmese cuisine?" This is a particularly difficult question to answer because Burmese cuisine is so simple, yet so complex. Simple in the fact that the ingredients are basic and down to earth. Complex in that the way the ingredients are combined to compose a dish which is a very subtle in balance between spiciness, sourness, sweetness, bitterness and texture.
