What To Expect
We begin our exploration into Yangon's evening street food scene at the picturesque Mahabandoola Park. Winding our way through the side alleys of downtown's historic and ethnically rich neighborhoods including Little India and China Town, we'll drop by some of our favourite stalls and family owned eateries. Introducing you to a fascinating produce market far from the tourist route, we'll finish up at our favourite 19th St BBQ joint where fish and cold beer perfectly compliment the people watching opportunities. SOME TOUR HIGHLIGHTS • Discover the best combination for the all-day delicacy, Mohinga, topped with gourd tempura at our favourite neighbourhood spot • Illuminated by candles and make shift lighting we'll pass through a very atmospheric street market selling all manner of food produce not on any tourist route radar • The Indian neighbourhood has a lot of tasty eats but the funky yoghurt faloodah drink is one of the most visually impressive • Chinatown used to be famous for its opium dens but nowadays BBQ fresh water fish accompanied by Myanmar beer is the new craze • The Shan people of Eastern Myanmar make a specific delicious sticky rice noodle dish loaded with chicken or pork in a rich tomato sauce topped with smashed peanuts and herbs but you've got to get the mix right • No other country makes cute little dishes of salad that pack a punch like Myanmar. Pickled tea leaf lapettho covered in crunchy beans and seeds with local peanut oil has anti-oxidants and gives you a little caffeine buzz • Sometimes side by side you'll pass ancient Buddhist pagodas, churches, mosques, Hindu temples and Chinese Buddhist temples reflecting the diversity of Yangon's population and culinary heritage • No one's forcing you but the deep fried bugs are the perfect beer snack and rich in protein • 10+ Dishes or Snacks Additional Information Price includes all the food (lots of it!), English speaking guide, drinking water.

5.00This street food tour was outstanding. Marc is incredibly knowledgeable and has real relationships with the vendors, which made the entire experience authentic. His cultural and culinary insights added so much depth to the experience, and the food itself was amazing. Super fun, memorable, and a great way to understand Yangon through its flavors. I’d highly recommend this tour — a must-do.
Tasty, memorable evening tour

5.00Had a fabulous evening walking around historic downtown Yangon and trying all sorts of new, delicious dishes. Marc was very knowledgeable, and even helped us pick up some groceries at the street market along the way! As a vegetarian, I was a bit nervous about the options I would have, but Marc found us plenty of things to try. Will definitely be back to try the other tours sometime soon. Thank you!
Absolutely delicious

5.00What a great experience! Marc is a knowledgeable and engaging guide who is clearly passionate about Myanmar and its diverse cuisine. We had a great time visiting so many different street stalls and sampling a huge range of dishes - all of which were delicious. If, like me, you are a first-timer to Yangon, this is the ideal introduction to its street food. Highly recommended!
Quintessential Yangon Street Food Tour With Great Guide

5.00Had a great tour around downtown Yangon with a group of friends comprising those new and not so new to food options in Yangon. We all had a lovely time. Marc is a great guide and very knowledgeable about ingredients and history behind the food, but also knows the vendors and families running the tea shops, the Mohinga stations, night markets that make up a Sa Ba food tour. Lots of classics but also a few surprises as well that might not be so familiar to everyone (but really tasty). No gimmicks or overly touristy places, just authentic local places and lots of great flavours. A great activity for anyone looking to learn a bit more about local food in Yangon, support local businesses, and enjoy walking around always charming downtown Yangon.
A great experience

5.00What a fantastic experience and great way to see Yangon! We had so much delicious food I could barely walk afterward :) The trishaws were really cool, and the drivers were all very nice. Marc is a fabulous guide who has deep knowledge about Myanmar's culinary traditions, as well as its history and culture. He offered interesting and enjoyable observations as we made our way around Yangon sampling a wide variety of delicious dishes. I highly recommend this tour!
A Must-Do Experience in Yangon

5.00Let's face it, the country is under tough times now, which limit many of the incredible tourism options. While Yangon is still safe and manageable, there is an air of sadness that permeates the country. Doing this tour in my week's visit was the absolute best tonic I could ask for. I've walked those streets before. But through Marc's incredibly keen eyes and humor, those same streets and stores came alive in ways that I didn't expect. We stopped in a total of 5 or 6 places to eat. Eat experience was unique and fun. This tour could is vegetarian / vegan friendly, which is a plus for some of our group members. The only thing I wish was to do this tour earlier in my visit to Yangon, so I can book another tour with Marc.
A great culinary experience

5.00Marc's food tour was truly excellent. We sampled many different street foods, from fish stew to salads to crepes to lassi, and were driven round in style by trishaw drivers Marc had organised. Marc's knowledge and passion for Myanmar food culture really brings the whole tour to life. A must-do for anyone spending time in Yangon!
Great food experience

5.00A good opportunity to indulge into Yangon's street food scene. Marc knows Burmese food culture and much more about the country and its people... this is an enjoyable way to spend an evening out in downtown, eating yourself through Burmese street food dishes. It is safe, Marc knows the stalls and has even trained some of them. Don't miss it when in Yangon.
