I think the ';cream of wheat'; you a referring to is in fact Semolina (see Wikipedia link below for definition)


If that is so the dessert you are asking about may be Sesame Semolina Pudding (Sanwin-makin)

There is also Shwe-kyi Sa-nywin-makin or Semolina Cake

Those links are also sites that have many Burmese/Myanmar recipes.


I hope that helps you.
