How to Survive Thingyan? Follow Her and Eat This

Lemon takes us into the heart of Thingyan — Myanmar’s vibrant New Year festival — to cook a traditional Burmese dessert. This chilled sweet, made with sago, coconut and sweet potato, is a local favorite during the hot season. As she stirs the pot and prepares the dessert, Thingyan unfolds around her: water splashing, laughter, and street celebration. Will Lemon manage to stay dry while cooking in the middle of it all? At the end, she shares the joy by donating the desserts to neighbors in true Thingyan spirit. This is a taste of Yangon you don’t want to miss — festive, messy, and full of heart.
