Mont lone yay baw ( Burmese: မုန့်လုံးရေပေါ်; pronounced [mo̰ʊɴlóʊɴjèbɔ̀]; also spelt mont lone yay paw) is a traditional Burmese dessert commonly associated with the Thingyan season. [1] [2]
The dessert dish consists of round boiled rice balls made from glutinous rice flour, filled with pieces of jaggery or palm sugar, and garnished with fresh coconut shavings. [3]
The communal group preparation of mont lone yay baw is a Thingyan tradition, and partakers often play pranks by stuffing some rice balls with chili peppers instead of jaggery. [3] Donors often dole out satuditha servings of mont lone yay baw to revelers during the Thingyan season. [4]
