Pickled tea leaf salad is a very traditional food in Myanmar. It plays an important role at wedding and other donation ceremonies. Almost everybody loves it and there are a ton of ways to serve it. Nowadays, we can buy instant tea leaf and fried peas and beans packets around the country as well as places where Myanmar people gather in foreign countries. (Eg. Peninsula Plaza in Singapore) The texture and taste of tea leaf salad is very unique that everybody who has tried it once is keen to have it repeatedly. You can modiy its taste to your personal preference - to be spicy, to be original or anything you like with extra ingredients such as tomato, cabbage, dried prawn, garlic and chilli.
