The Water Fountain Garden in Naypyidaw, the modern capital of Myanmar, doesn't have a singular distinctive food history of its own but instead reflects the diverse culinary traditions of Myanmar. Since Naypyidaw was established as the capital in 2005, it has been developing its cultural identity. The city and its attractions, like the Water Fountain Garden, serve a variety of Burmese cuisine that has been influenced by the neighboring countries of China, Thailand, and India. The majority of traditional Burmese food is characterized by extensive use of fish products like ngapi (fish paste) and fish sauce, as well as an array of ingredients such as rice, noodles, vegetables, and herbs.
