Tea houses in Yangon - 1

As for me, Yangon is labeled “home of tea house” not only for the amazing tea but also for the snacks or even meals at different tea houses. I love the tea shops so much that I go there almost every day during my trip. And I am fortunate in having a friend who also loves to go wherever I want to go in my hometown. One of my favorite tea shop is Orient, situated at upper 46^th Street in Botathaung township. There are plenty of choices, and the foods are delicious, at least for me. A confession has to be made here: as the teacup seems smaller, or au contraire, my stomach is getting bigger; I always have to order 2 cups of tea in every shop, lol!!!

Zawgyi House takes advantage of its marvelous location with indoors and outdoors seating and this is a place where I usually drink coffee. I am sure there are delicious garlic bread or pizza at the shop but I am more than pleased with the traditional snacks that my friend dearly bought for me from the street vendors.

I suppose nan is great for breakfast and fried prata is an exciting alternative. I had them at Pwint Thit San near Rose Hill Hospital in Bahan Township, if I remember the name correctly. Although it is great going to restaurant, it is more fun drinking tea, eating snacks at the tea shops and it is always a sure bet for me.
