Due to the diversity of ethnic groups in Myanmar, the catering in Yangon has all-encompassing characteristics, especially the Shan, Burmese, China and Indian. The essence of local food includes fish, meat and vegetables cooked in curry and gourd soup. Myanmar cuisine is characterized by being oily and salty but less spicy.

Myanmar Zongzi: Zongzi is made of glutinous rice as the main ingredient, with ripe bananas and coconut as the stuffing. This kind of zongzi is fragrant and intoxicating.

The basic foods in Myanmar are mainly rice and curry. There are many forms of fish sauce mixed with salad. Rice and other dishes are eaten together with soup. Fish powder soup made of rice noodles and fish soup, coconut milk noodles made of coconut and chicken curry and noodles are all favorite breakfast and light meals for Burmese people.

Myanmar is also rich in seafood. Crabs, prawns, lobsters and other shellfish are very popular dishes in most Burmese meals and Chinese restaurants in Yangon and other cities.

Typical Myanmar restaurants serve meat and vegetable food, and most Myanmar restaurants can also cook Chinese food and Indian food.

Burmese people's tastes are sour, spicy, light and not greasy, which is similar to Sichuan's taste in China. Generally, Chili oil is required on the table. I like to eat chicken, duck, fish, shrimp, shrimp paste and fish paste, and I like curry, which is slightly sweet, and it is best to mix it with tomatoes. In addition to eating ordinary vegetables, people like to make lai with fruits. For example, sliced mango, mixed with soybean powder, dried shrimps, shrimp soy sauce, onion and fried pepper seeds, tastes sour, salty, spicy and fresh.

Burmese people account for the majority of Myanmar's population and live all over the country. According to Buddhist custom, Burmese people only eat two meals a day, and the meal time is about 9 am and 5 pm. Because Myanmar is a land of rice, Burmese people take rice as their staple food, and the dishes are very simple, and curry is used as seasoning. When eating, people gather around the low table, or squat or sit cross-legged. On the table, a bowl of curry soup, a dish of fish and shrimp sauce and several cups of water are placed, and people grasp rice into their mouths with their thumbs, forefinger and middle finger. Sometimes, put a spoon in the soup bowl for public use. Generally speaking, all families are forbidden to drink alcohol, but they can drink alcohol in hotels. After dinner, people go to the water tank to wash their hands, and then drink water, smoke or chew betel nut.
