Chinatown & 19th Street
တရုတ်တန်း
Yangon's Chinatown night-food street, where barbecue stalls and beer tables line the road. Grilled skewers and Myanmar beer are the local evening staple.
Yangon's Chinatown lies on the western side of the old town and preserves Chinese temples such as the Kwan Yin Temple (the Cantonese Guanyin Temple), Fook San Temple and many Chinese shops. After dark, barbecue stalls fill both sides of 19th Street. You choose your ingredients from display racks, and they are grilled and served with Myanmar beer, at a modest cost per person. Nearby night markets sell fruit and snacks. Go after 7 p.m., eat carefully to avoid food-safety problems, drink bottled water, and keep an eye on your wallet at the open-air stalls.
