The dessert dish consists of round boiled rice balls made from glutinous rice flour, filled with pieces of jaggery or palm sugar, and garnished with fresh coconut shavings.[3]

The communal group preparation of mont lone yay baw is a Thingyan tradition, and partakers often play pranks by stuffing some rice balls with chili peppers instead of jaggery.[3] Donors often dole out satuditha servings of mont lone yay baw to revelers during the Thingyan season.[4]
Similar desserts in the region include Indian modak, Malaysian onde-onde, Indonesian klepon, Thai bua loi, and the Chinese tangyuan.
