<p>In addition to these main meals, there are also other types of meals that are common in Burmese cuisine. Let's take a look:</p>
| သံပုရား  || than-pu-ya || Fish sauce

  <li><b>အရည်ပြောင်း (a-yaing pyaung)</b>: Brunch</li>
  <li><b>စားကြောင်း (sà: kyaung)</b>: Snack or light meal</li>
  <li><b>အရသား (a-ya tha)</b>: Supper or late-night meal</li>

| နံနက်ခွက်  || nan-net-khwet || Breakfast dish
