I discovered that one part cannot be ignored in every Burma travel reviews must be Yangon street food with mouth-watering dishes. Let spot the most famous street food in Yangon.

The Chinatown always make the tourists impressed with colorful vendors and strange foods. As Burma travel reviews, the Chinatown in Yangon is no exception. Come here on your Myanmar tour and soak in the nightlife, you can meet up many vendors stand up to the server you many kinds of foods. The 19th Street is an ideal place to come and explore on your Yangon trip. Although this place is not popular, I’m sure it worth you a walk with dim sum restaurants and Chinese noodle shops.
In Yangon, the 19th Street is the busiest with hungry diners after dark. The tourists of Myanmar tour package and local people come here to eat the wide array of barbecue skewers and drink cold beer. The seafood, meat, and vegetables are stabbed with tiny wooden spears waiting for you to roast. As Myanmar travel reviews, the food here is a bit more expensive than foods in other destinations. But trust me, it worth you a try because you will not taste the food but also “taste” the nightlife in this town.
Night Market on Strand Road

As Burma travel reviews, the night market along the Strand Road has almost types of cuisine belong to Shan, Chinese, Thai, Burmese that you can name. It is a whistle street full of the shouting out orders of vendors and the diners waiting for the dishes.
The Night Market on Strand Road is less popular than 19th Street so that almost diners here are local people. If you love experiencing the local life and the place full of expats, you should come here on your Yangon trip. It just takes you some minutes walking from 19 Street. Because the night market stays along the river, it is hard to see it at night especially in the busiest time.
Yangon guide book said that you can find out the food stalls underneath colorful tents, where filled with food ingredients which are ready to cook up. Because there are very few tourists, most vendors don’t write their menu in English, so you can find it hard to order your dishes. In some cases, you can point to the dish you want to eat and the vendors will cook up them for you. But the price is affordable so that you can eat all the dishes you love and don’t have to worry about your budget.
