Practical information : Eating out Myanmar - Burma
Timetable
In Myanmar you will have no problem to enjoy early and late breakfasts. Same thing for lunch. Most of the places are finally serving continuously. On the other hand, for the late dinners, it will be more difficult. It will be difficult to eat after 9:00 pm, sometimes 8:30 pm. But the rhythm is easy to pick up
Budget & Tips
In Yangon restaurants of various South and South-East Asian specialities abound, including Indian and Thai cuisine, which are at the top of the list. The choice is considerable and the prices are quite affordable, even derisory if you eat in the street. It's an opportunity to tour the culinary world without going broke.
The local way
How about we start with a local breakfast? The Mohinga. A delicious fish soup with rice noodles. The less adventurous will choose it as a snack. The Burmese particularly like to break up their day with various forms of snacks or entremets, known as ah-myees, which are mostly taken with green tea, often offered free of charge at any tea house on every street corner. Laphet is one of the most representative snacks of the Burmese culture: green tea leaves, softened and pressed in bamboo containers, are usually taken plain with sesame oil and garlic or peanuts. Laphet is an important part of Myanmar's cultural life. Burmese hospitality is often accompanied by betel, tobacco or laphet. In the evening in Yangon, a walk along the 19th Street is a good opportunity to enjoy a Burmese barbecue on the terrace, an experience you should try at least once!
To be avoided
Water is rarely consumed by the Burmese at mealtimes. However, remember to drink only bottled water and avoid ice cubes
Kids
Children's menus are not part of Burmese culture, just make sure the dish is not too spicy
