Pathein halawa (Template:Lang-my; pronounced [pəθèɪɴ ha̰ləwà]) is a traditional Burmese dessert or mont. The dessert is a pudding cooked using glutinous rice flour, rice flour, coconut, sugar, poppy seeds, butter, and milk, and has 2 primary variants: wet and dry.[1] The dessert was first sold in Bassein (now Pathein), an Irrawaddy Delta town in the 1930s, and is now considered a delicacy of Pathein.[1]

Pathein halawa is prepared in a similar manner as other Burmese desserts including mont kalame (မုန့်ကုလားမဲ) and htoe mont (ထိုးမုန့်).[2]
