Half Day Yangon for Foodies - Yangon - Private

Información

This morning guests will meet by their guide and driver for a day spent exploring the best of Yangon’s foods. Start with a visit to one of downtown’s main morning markets. Here vendors gather to sell everything from fresh fruit and vegetables to fish and meats, as well as a variety of dipping sauces and pastes popular in Burmese cooking (including the famous balachung - a mix of fish paste and chili).

Continue past many vendors selling breakfast treats popular with the locals, such as pancakes, steamed sticky rice with beans and fried delights such as donuts and samosas. There are also dozens of noodle stalls in the area where locals gather for a tasty breakfast on their way to work or school. Guests will be able to stop and taste some of these treats as they walk by.

A short drive to Seikkan Tha Street will then allow guests to explore another morning market area, with many stalls selling Roti Prata, flowers and fruits. Try a bite of Roti Prata or an exotic local fruit. Having worked up a thirst, guests will stop at Maung Aye Tea Shop - a local favorite which serves sweet Burmese tea (called le phet yay) and local snacks.

Crossing the street, the next stop is at Shwe Myot Taw, an Indian restaurant with great Roti Prata, and Padauk Yeik. Meaning ‘in the shade of the gum tree’, this stall is a popular place to have le phet thoke, Burmese tea leaf salad. The fermented tea leaves are served with a selection of fried nuts and beans and can be washed down with a fresh fruit juice.

Finally, transfer to Feel Restaurant for lunch. This restaurant is a popular with locals who come for the delicious curries, and by 1.30PM the food is often sold out. Sample an array of local curries all accompanied by dozens of vegetables, some dips and a soup. This is a very traditional, tasty Burmese lunch and the perfect way to complete this day of culinary exploration in Yangon. After lunch transfer back to the hotel.
