Mont baung (Burmese: မုန့်ပေါင်း; pronounced [mo̰ʊɴ páʊɴ], lit. 'steamed cake') is a traditional Burmese snack or mont.
This snack is a molded rice cake that is typically filled with coconut shavings or red bean cooked in jaggery, and then steamed in a traditional clay pot.[1] It bears a resemblance to the Malaysian and Singaporean putu piring or kuih tutu, though It is comparably larger in size.[1]
Sagaing holds an annual mont baung festival, during the full moon day of Nadaw, at the Weluwun Ngahtatgyi temple precincts (ဝေဠုဝန်ငါးထပ်ကြီးဘုရား).[2]

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.
