Myanmar Street Food - Street Snacks in Yangon and Bagan
A sample of Burmese street food in Yangon and Bagan
Mont lin ma yar or mont oke galay မုန့်လင်မယား or မုန့်အုပ်ကလေး (husband and wife snacks) - Dollops of rice flour batter are added to a large sizzling cast iron pan that resembles a muffin tin. Toppings such as quail eggs, scallions, or roasted chickpeas are added to half of the dollops, and then, like a husband and wife, the two halves are joined to make a little round cake.

Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the travel bug! We started “travel hacking” and taking more trips together and finally decided we wanted to travel for one year. After 2 years of saving $ and travel hacking over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left January 10, 2016. We started this YouTube channel to share our experiences with friends and family, then decided we really liked vlogging and traveling. So we extended our 1 year trip to THREE years :) Now we have a goal of traveling to 100 countries before Nate turns 30 (which is March 20, 2019)! We are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)
Myanmar Street Food - DELICIOUS Mohinga (မုန့်ဟင်းခါး) in Yangon!
Mohinga (မုန့်ဟင်းခါး) is widely considered to be the national food of Myanmar, something you’ll find nearly everywhere. Read the full post here:
What is mohinga (မုန့်ဟင်းခါး)? It’s one of the most popular foods in the realm of Burmese food, a dish that consists of rice noodles of a varying level of thickness, submerged in a broth made from fish. The soup is kind of in between a soup and a curry, and it’s full of spices and flavor. I’m a huge fan of eating mohinga when I’m in Myanmar, and I just can’t get enough of its rich and flavorful broth. The mohinga broth is made from a combination of fish, shallots, lemongrass, garlic, chili, turmeric, and a handful of other spices.
On my trip to Yangon, I was always on the look out for delicious food - there’s literally street food everywhere you look in the city - it’s a city where if you love food, you’ll have an endless sea of things to sample. On the day I ate this bowl of mohinga (မုန့်ဟင်းခါး), I actually had no plans to eat anything then. My wife and I were strolling around the Sule Pagoda, in downtown Yangon, when all of a sudden I saw a commotion in the parking lot of the Yangon City Hall. All of the sudden a van pulled up, and couple people started unloading the van and setting up a beautiful looking mohinga stall in the parking lot. Small miniature tables and chairs were set up all over the parking lot, and as soon as the tables were set up, people that were passing by grabbed a chair with anticipation. This was a Yangon street food stall when I had no plans to eat, but since the food looked so good, and the atmosphere was exactly how I loved it, I had no choice but to grab a seat with all the others, and sit down for a bowl of mohinga (မုန့်ဟင်းခါး).
After ordering, it just took a few moments before the vendors scooped me up a bowl of rice noodles and smothered them in a ladle of the broth. Unfortunately, I didn’t know I could order an egg, because I definitely would have gone for an egg, but I didn’t get one this time. The noodles arrived piping hot, with a Chinese donut chopped up on top. I tasted the broth first, and it was beautiful, a rich fish curry with just the right amount of spices. The rice noodles were nice and soft and that crispness from donut added that wonderful contrast. After eating a few bites of this awesome bowl of mohinga, I then added some dry chili flakes, which were on the table, to give my bowl a bit of extra heat.
I think one of the joys of visiting Yangon and Myanmar is eating the street food - and not only eating, but also experiencing the culture and atmosphere of the food culture. There’s nothing more enjoyable than pulling up a street food chair and ordering up delicious plate of food. When you’re in Yangon, don’t miss out on a few bowl of mohinga.
You can really find mohinga all over Yangon, but if you’re interested in going to this same place that I ate at, here’s the info.
How to get there: This street food stall pop-up in Yangon is really close to Sule Pagoda, maybe about 100 meters north of it, and just north of the Yangon City Hall building. Throughout the daytime, it’s just a parking lot full of cars, but in the evening is when this mohinga street food stalls sprouts up.
Open hours: I’m not totally sure, but I got there at about 6 pm and they were just starting to set everything up. I think they are open from about 6 pm until they sell out, maybe 2 - 3 hours.
Prices: 500 Kyats ($0.50) per bowl, and probably more if you get an egg, and it’s well worth it.

Street Food in Myanmar - Sweet and Salty Dosa in Yangon!
One of the many street food snacks to eat in Myanmar is a dosa, also known in Burmese as a kee mar. Read the full article here:
When you’re walking around Yangon, you’ll have many different choices for an afternoon street food snack. Many things are deep fried, there’s a variety of different types of salads, and then there are Myanmar style dosas. A dosa is originally a south Indian creation, like a big crepe that’s often filled with masala spiced potatoes and wrapped up into a cone or burrito shape, and then eaten with a number of sauces or chutneys. You can get an Indian style dosa in Yangon as well, and I ate them a number of times, but there are also street side dosas that are a bit different.
Ying and I were just walking past when we noticed this dosa vendor, and she had just set up her shop and was starting to sell her snacks - and all of a sudden a few people put in their orders as soon as she started cooking. It looked good and fresh, and so we couldn’t help ordering. I noticed that she was cooking two different types of street food dosas, one was savory and the other was sweet, so since we didn't want to decide which one to go for we got both.
The batter of a Myanmar dosa is a mixture of rice flour, and it’s first spooned onto the hot griddle and spread out into a thin crepe. Then some oil and seasoning was sprinkled on, followed by a mixture of vegetables and some beans and boiled peas. Then on went some oil and a bit more seasoning, and then it was rolled up. The sweet version of the dosa was prepared with the same pancake crepe, but instead of the vegetables, instead it was a layer of palm sugar, then some coconut, and beans as well. It was also wrapped up, and once she was done cooking, she wrapped them in a colorful pieces of newspaper, and handed them to us, instructing us to hold them by the top instead of the bottom as it was so hot.
Both of them were very good, but since I’m more of a savory salty kind of guy, I liked that one better. The pancake was a little crispy on the outside, and it was warm and filled with vegetables on the inside. The sweet dosa was also very good, nice and flavorful from the palm sugar, and fragrant from the shreds of fresh coconut. Both were good and made a nice Myanmar street food snack in Yangon.
So which dosa do you think you would like better, salty or sweet?
Price - 200 Kyats per dosa, about $0.20

11 Things To Do in Yangon, Myanmar (Are You Ready!?)
Get more details about these things to do in Yangon here:
1. Shwedagon Pagoda (ရွှေတိဂုံစေတီတော်) - Probably the most important religious monument and most sacred site in Yangon and throughout Myanmar is the Shwedagon Pagoda (ရွှေတိဂုံစေတီတော်). The golden stupa of the pagoda is covered in gold, and it’s so bright that I you have squint when you look at it. At the top of the pagoda, in the small umbrella looking top, are thousands of gems and diamonds - though it’s pretty challenging to see all the way up there. The Shwedagon Pagoda is a place you must visit when you’re in Yangon.
2. Local Market - One of my favorite things to do in any city I visit about the world is to visit a local fresh market - that’s where life takes place and where the action goes down. There are no shortage of fresh local markets in Yangon, and one of the best in downtown is on 26th street, across the main road from the Shri Kali Temple. The market occupies a block of downtown, and there’s an indoor section, but I really like the street side part of the market.
3. Bogyoke Aung San Market - One of the centrally located markets in downtown Yangon, located at the northern side of town, is Bogyoke Aung San Market, also known by its former name of Scott Market. If you’re looking for souvenirs, gems and jewelry, and fabric, this is a great place for you to visit when you’re in Yangon.
4. Sule Pagoda (ဆူးေလဘုရား) - Another one of the most important religious, political, and overall just city landmarks in Yangon is the Sule Pagoda - basically all roads eventually lead to the Sule Pagoda and it’s a huge transportation hub. You can pay to enter the pagoda for $3, but in my opinion there’s not that much to see inside, but it’s rather the things around the are that are more impressive.
5. Chinatown, Yangon - One of my favorite things to do in Yangon is eat, and if you love food and markets, Chinatown is a place you can’t miss. In the evening, the city of Yangon in the Chinatown area comes alive sprawling with food and people. 19th street in Yangon is a very famous as the barbecue street in the city, and there are a few restaurants where you can get a table, choose some kebabs and have them barbecue them up for you. If you love eating and drinking, dinner at 19th street is one of the fun things to do in Yangon.
6. Kandawgyi Park - There are two parts to Kandawgyi Park, the boardwalk, and the restaurants area - each has an entrance fee. It makes a great relief from the city and place to relax in the natural beauty.
7. Chaukhtatgyi Paya (Chak Htat Gyi Buddha) - This giant reclining Buddha is housed in a huge shed, and it’s among the main Buddhist religious sites in Yangon. Originally in the same location, there was a seating Buddha, but when it fell over, it was replaced by a reclining.
8. National Museum of Myanmar - If you’d like to know more about the history and culture of Myanmar (Burma), one of the attractions in Yangon that you should check out is the National Museum. It was a little outdated, but the exhibitions were educational and interesting.
9. Yangon Circular Railroad - Not really one of the traditional things to do in Yangon, Myanmar, but taking the local circular train route is a great opportunity to see some of the outskirts of the city.
10. Walk Around Yangon - Probably the best way to experience the city is to just get out on your feet and explore Yangon by food - you never know what’s going to happen or what you’re going to see or come across, but it will be full of action.
11. Myanmar Food and Street Food - There’s nothing better than traveling to eat and experiences a country through its food. Yangon is filled with both street food stalls and restaurant where you can get a sample of the local cuisine. Another part of the Myanmar culture I love is the constant tea drinking - nearly everywhere you look, you’ll find a place to sit on the side of the road and drink a cup of hot tea and socialize.
Yangon is a great city, and what I love so much about it is that it’s always full of action, people are extremely friendly, there are many different types of food and street food to try, and it’s just such a vibrant, always entertaining city. Hope you can visit Yangon!

Myanmar Food at Feel Restaurant - One of the BEST Restaurants in Yangon, Myanmar for Burmese Food!
Feel Myanmar is a well known restaurant in Yangon, Myanmar, that serves just about every type of Burmese / Myanmar food you can imagine. Read my full post here:
When I asked on a video about some suggestions for where to eat on my latest trip to Yangon, Myanmar, probably the most mentioned restaurant I was recommended was Feel Myanmar - it’s kind of like a Yangon institution, a well known restaurant that has everything type of food you can imagine - it’s local, and attracts a huge range of both Yangon residents and visitors. When I first arrived, I have to admit that I was a little on the disappointed side, mainly because I didn’t see the curries at first. Ying and I took a table outside, and the waiter handed us a menu - but I didn’t want a menu, I wanted the Burmese food curry buffet. So I asked the waiter, and he nodded, and led me into a room on the left side of the restaurant.
What I faced was one of the most spectacular displays of pre-made curry I’ve seen anywhere. There literally must have been hundreds of different prepared Myanmar dishes, all ready to be ordered, not to mention an army of staff waiting to serve you whatever you please. I have to admit that I went a little crazy, pointing to as many dishes as I could, without realizing how many dishes I had ordered - I was quite excited. The food all looks outstanding.
After ordering all the dishes, our waiter then served all the Burmese / Myanmar foods to our table. Probably my favorite dish of the meal was the mutton curry, a beautiful blend of softly curried mutton, with a marvelous blend of spices. It was a little oily, but the flavor was unbelievable. I also ordered some braised pork belly, which was cooked quite plain, but it was so tasty, mainly from the sweet onions it was cooked with. All the other dishes at Feel Myanmar restaurant were excellent too.
I think Feel Myanmar Restaurant in Yangon has found a great balance of variety, delicious food, and still keeps their cuisine quite local and authentic. One thing that really stands out is that they literally have hundreds of dishes for you to choose some - so believe me - you won’t run out of things to order. I think it’s a great introduction to eating Burmese / Myanmar food, when you’re in Yangon - it’s a place you should definitely eat at.
Feel Myanmar Food Restaurant, Yangon
Address: 124, Pyi Htaung Su Yeikthar St. (btwn Padonmar & Myoma Kyaung St.), Yangon, YGN 11191, Myanmar
Open hours: 6 am – 8:30 pm daily
Prices: How to get there: Feel Myanmar Food restaurant is located just down the road from the National Museum, and about a 1,000 – 1,500 Kyats taxi ride from central downtown Yangon

Lahpet Thoke - Eating BURMESE TEA LEAF Salad on the Streets of Yangon, Myanmar!
One of the most beloved dishes in Myanmar is lahpet thoke, or pickled tea leaf salad. Read my full post here:
The northern part of Myanmar is an area where tea originated - so it’s no wonder that tea plays a major part in the social culture of the country. But most of the time when you think about tea, you think of it only as a beverage, something to drink - and throughout most of the world, this is true. But in Myanmar, one of the most famous things to eat is actually tea, known as lahpet.
Laphet thoke is a very common dish throughout Myanmar, and the base and most important ingredient are pickled tea leaves. The leaves are mixed with tomatoes, and a few different other ingredients like toasted peas and nuts, and then mixed with a dressing made from peanut oil and a few seasoning light spices. The salad is extremely delicious, and the pickled tea leaves have a unique, slightly bitter, and slightly sour component to them, with a nice chewy texture. Laphet thoke makes a wonderful snack when you’re drinking tea too - so drinking tea and eating tea at the same time is delicious!
In Yangon you’ll be able to find laphet thoke, and it’s popular to eat at small street-side stands, but that being said, not all tea stalls serve it. You have to look for a stall that has a number of plastic tubs at the front, filled with all the ingredients used to prepare the tea leaf salad. If you see the plastic tubs, you’ll known they served lahpet thoke. Sit down on one of the miniature Myanmar plastic stools, order it, and you can sit and sip on tea while you wait for your salad to be mixed up.
When we made this video, I was in Yangon during the monsoon rainy season. It wasn’t raining when we sat down to eat, while I was eating, the rain all of a sudden started pouring down, and soon we had a small river flowing right through the street food stall - so we actually had to get up and stand so we wouldn’t float away! That’s part of the fun and excitement of eating street food in Myanmar. Along with the tea leaf salad, lahpet thoke, we also ordered a plate of gyin thoke, pickled ginger salad - another delicious salad especially if you love ginger.
Thank you very much for watching this video, hope you enjoyed it.

UNIQUE Myanmar STREET FOOD TOUR in Yangon
I have a very unique Myanmar's Street Food tour. Myanmar Foods are really delicious that they really cook well. I have tried five dishes in Yangon which is the biggest city in Myanmar. You can try some of them if you go to Myanmar. But two things seriously you must try is Pickled Tea Leaf Salad and Mohinga. Specially Pickled Tea Leaf Salad can go really well with beer.
1. Pickled Tea Leaf Salad (Lahpet)
Location :
It is very unique food because they use tea as a salad. Fermented Pickled Tea with nuts and vegetables has a very unique taste.
2. A typical Myanmar meal
Location :
If you order the main dish like meat or fish, you would get side dishes like salad, soup, and vegetables for free. You can have it for lunch or dinner. Usually, Myanmar cooks well that always it has good taste.
3. Noodle Salad
Location :
It is served with salad, vegetable, and a few different seasonings. This dish is good for a snack cause it is a light meal.
4. Pork Offal Skewers (Wet Thar Dote Htoe)
Location :
It is pork offal cooked in light soy sauce. The meat placed on the stick includes the internal organs of the pig including its intestine, liver, kidney, spleen, heart, lungs, tongue and even the skin and cartilage. At first, you dip the stick into a soup and then dip into chili sauce. Soup has a really deep flavor.
5. Mohinga
Location :
It is a rice noodle and fish soup. It is the national dish you must try if you go to Myanmar. Usually, it is eaten for breakfast. Every region cooks the different way that if you travel whole Myanmar, you can taste different Mohinga.

Chickpea Tofu and Pickled Tea Leaves: Myanmar's Unreal Cuisine, and Why It's So Hard to Find
Burmese food is something totally unique- a flavor profile shaped by an ancient history with roots connecting the empire to powerful culinary neighbors like China, India, and Siam, but with indigenous techniques and ingredients that make this cuisine all its own.
Somehow, in twelve years cooking and eating in Asia, it never occurred to me how strange it was that I didn't know anything about Burmese food. I never questioned why Thai, Vietnamese, and Malaysian food could be found anywhere, but the largest geographic country in mainland Southeast Asia- a place with a 4000-year history and an outsized influence on the continent- was invisible. But then I tried my first Burmese meal, and all of a sudden, a million questions needed answering.
This video is an attempt to answer- maybe not all of those questions, but at least...say...two or three? What are some of the iconic dishes in Myanmar? How did Burmese food take shape? And why have I never encountered it before?
We're diving into the Bangkok Burmese refugee diaspora to get as deep as we can into Thailand's hidden Myanmar subculture in a culinary adventure on OTR.
