nga-pee

Passing by Henzada, because intending to return thither, we went on to Yangdoon or Nyoungdoon, a large and thriving port celebrated for its fishing trade. Of this fact we were soon abundantly convinced by the abominable smell of nga-pee, a kind of dried and putrid fish, of which the Burmese are particularly fond; nor by that circumstance alone, for we counted a hundred and twenty large trading vessels anchored along the bank.
