context_page_description: In the Burmese language, the term mont translates to "snack", and refers to a wide variety of prepared foods, ranging from sweet desserts to savory food items that may be cooked by steaming, baking, frying, deep-frying, or boiling. Foods made from wheat or rice flour are generally called mont, but the term may also refer to certain varieties of noodle dishes, such as mohinga.
  Each variety of mont is designated by a descriptive word or phrase that precedes or follows the word mont, such as htoe mont or mont lone yay baw.
  In Burmese, the term mont is not limited to Burmese cuisine: it applies equally to items as varied as Western-style breads, Chinese moon cakes, ice cream and tinned biscuits.
