Rangoon Tea House

Being sanctions by the western world, you may think Myanmar is a poor, remote country.  Not at all! What it left in the colonial era is now the basis of Yangon’s development.

And if you would like to have traditional Yangon street food but don’t want to sit on the hot and steaming street, come here~ Rangoon Tea House.

By looking at Rangoon Tea House, it is just like an ordinary coffee shop.  However, it does not only sell coffee, but also Delicious Yummy Yangon street food, and milk tea! Yummy~ 

Customers inside are mostly office ladies and young people.  Just like starbucks, they were playing with mobile phones.

Look at the menu, pure English!  I don’t know whether this is for foreigners only or there is only English version.

Every English colonies have milk tea.  Yes, so does Myanmar.  Myanmar’s milk tea is super sweet (at least I think), but if you can remember how to order as below, you can have your own taste of Myanmar milk tea.

Dishes you must try here including, 

Oh yeah don’t forget Moyinga, rice noodle in fish broth.  But it is so delicious that I forgot to take picture. :p

The coffee shop has two floors, and it is where the washrooms located.  There are news articles about the Tea House in the washroom (obviously the owner think this is the only time you will read these articles haha).

Not surprised, the owner is from a western country.  Surprisingly, he is not.  He is a pure Burmese returning the country from England.  Not soon after the opening, Rangoon Tea House become one of the famous places for foreign visitors and young people in Yangon.  It is a trend to come to Rangoon Tea House.

Want a rest with traditional street food while waiting for the heavy rain outside? Yes this is the place.
