in Chinese restaurants -all over the
world- Crab Rangoon it is not common in the
Burma kitchen or Burma restaurant.
Since Rangoon
was the name of the Burma capital under
the British colonialist until the 1990-tis
of the last century when the military

actually is more appropriate as the former
name of the city was Dagon.

Chinese know more as we do when it comes
to exotic and tasty dishes like Crab
Rangoon. Actually there are similar made
gourmet creations like Crab Rangoonin many

is made by stuffing wonton skins with
crab meat and -optional cream cheese-. That
sounds like an unholy alliance at best, but
when you bite into the almost-pencil-thin
crispy shell and the flavors come at you
with a pow, you know you are on to a
delicious experience. Chives and water
chestnuts add additional flavor. A sweet and
sour dipping sauce usually comes with Crab
Rangoon.
Some typical
small food items for in between, going

wings, ribs, Crab Rangoon,
