If you are planning to travel to Myanmar for the first time heres a couple of things you should know (if you can get in that is, just kidding :B ).
1.) The food will be very different.
2.) Some restaurants will be on the expensive side
3.)Be careful of what you eat! Not everything is "Myanmar FDA" approved.
3.5) But! its still great food.
If you ask a guide or the person at your hotel, what is the most popular dish of Yangon, they will probably say Mont-hin-gar.
Basically it's a fresh rice noodles with a fish based soup, with a verity of fritters like beans (as seen), gourd, onions with baby shrimps, etc.
And the best Mont hingar (in my opinion) is at Oo Yin street, on Inya road. Since Mont hingar is traditional eaten for breakfast, it sells out fast. About 8:30-9:00 am to be exact. But thats not the only place in town, Mont hingar is available all through out the city.
Here are some other places with great Mont hingar:
Feel Restaurant/tea shop:
124 Pyidaungsu Yeiktha Str., Yangon (Rangoon), Myanmar
This is a great place for authentic Burmese food. You can get anything from traditional bean fritters (Ba ya chaw) to nice cool Korafii.
Here's more information on Feel.
Bout Taw teashop:
It has no specific address, I'll up date this bit later.
This place is notorious for its great afternoon mont hingar and mote ti (Mont hingar from Rakhine state). Along with other special treats like stuffed fish cakes will really get you sweating. If you have a guide you can ask them, or just email me! :) I'll be glad to give you directions.
