Savor the Flavors of Myanmar with Food and Tea
Myanmar’s rich culinary heritage offers a delightful experience for food lovers, and there’s no better way to explore it than by enjoying traditional Myanmar dishes paired with a cup of tea. Eating Myanmar food and drinking tea offers a unique experience that combines bold flavors, fresh local ingredients, and deep cultural traditions. It's a perfect way to connect with the heart of Myanmar’s culinary heritage.

Myanmar cuisine is a mix of influences from neighboring countries like China, India, and Thailand, but with a unique twist. The food is known for its balance of flavors, often combining spicy, sour, and savory elements. Dishes like Mohinga, the country’s famous fish soup, and Shan noodles, a flavorful noodle dish from the Shan state, offer a taste of Myanmar’s rich regional diversity. Tea leaves salad, or Lahpet, made with pickled tea leaves, is another must-try dish, combining crunchy peanuts, sesame seeds, and fresh veggies.

After indulging in the delicious food, the experience isn’t complete without enjoying Myanmar’s traditional tea culture. Myanmar’s tea shops are an essential part of daily life, offering a relaxing spot to sip on a hot cup of green tea. Known for its rich, bold flavor, the tea is often served with small snacks, creating the perfect end to your meal or a casual break during the day.

Enjoying a local favorite or trying something new, eating Myanmar food and drinking tea immerses you in the country’s rich culture and vibrant flavors. It’s a sensory journey that will leave you with unforgettable memories.

Guests at Chatrium Hotel Royal Lake Yangon can enjoy Myanmar’s culinary heritage without leaving the hotel. At The Emporia Restaurant, savor authentic dishes like Mohinga and tea leaf salad, alongside Asian and Western favorites all made with premium ingredients. For a relaxed break, the Lobby Lounge offers scenic views and the hotel’s renowned traditional afternoon tea, perfect with a cup of green tea and light snacks. Whether you’re tasting a local classic or trying something new, dining at Chatrium is a flavorful journey into Myanmar’s culture.
