Htoe mont (Burmese: ထိုးမုန့်; pronounced [tʰómo̰ʊɴ]) is a traditional Burmese dessert or mont. The dessert is a glutinous rice cake cooked with raisins, cashews and coconut shavings,[1] and is consistently prodded during the cooking process, lending it a texture similar to Turkish delight. Htoe mont is prepared in a similar manner as other Burmese desserts including mont kalame (မုန့်ကုလားမဲ) and Pathein halawa.[2] Htoe mont is considered a delicacy of Mandalay, and is a popular souvenir from the city.[3]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
