It is not very clear why they call Crab Rangoon like this.
Fried Crab
Chicken Wontons are called Crab Rangoon in
most places.
Very popular
in Chinese restaurants -all over the
world- Crab Rangoon it is not common in the
Myanmar kitchen or Myanmar restaurant.
Since Rangoon
was the name of the Myanmar capital under
the British colonialist until the 1990-tis
of the last century when the military
government changed the name to Yangon, which
actually is more appropriate as the former
name of the city was Dagon.
Maybe the
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
Thai restaurants they call it -bu ....- .
Crab Rangoon
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
very well with drinks at the bar are chicken
wings, ribs, Crab Rangoon,
