The story
General Aung San Market in Yangon is exactly the kind of bustling, chaotic bazaar that rewards the curious eater. “More Best Ever Food Review Show” calls it a sprawling market where you can find local snacks and ingredients, with a lively atmosphere and friendly vendors—though he notes that food quality varies. It’s a place to wander and taste, not a polished restaurant row.
Among the stalls, look for dishes like pounded seed pancake, pounded sticky rice with coconut and palm sugar, stuffed tofu pockets, and fried Burmese prawn salad. The vibe is buzzy and decidedly local, a hole-in-the-wall experience that captures Yangon’s street-food soul. Come hungry, choose wisely, and you’ll leave with a story.

“I thought it was onion but it's garlic. I'm in love. I'm not a big tofu fan, but the tofu is a great vessel. The fillings include MSG, cabbage for body, chilies for heat, fish sauce for savory. It's incredible.”

Dishes mentioned
Pounded Seed Pancake
I take it in one bite. It's so greasy and shiny. The texture is incredibly dense. Inside, it's filled with coconut oil, very potent and flavorful, very rich. I can see why people love that.
Pounded Sticky Rice with Coconut and Palm Sugar
The sticky rice is very sticky. The palm sugar is like liquefied brown sugar, sweet and earthy. With the fresh coconut on top, it's amazing. You can't get coconut that fresh in the USA.
Stuffed Tofu Pocket
I thought it was onion but it's garlic. I'm in love. I'm not a big tofu fan, but the tofu is a great vessel. The fillings include MSG, cabbage for body, chilies for heat, fish sauce for savory. It's incredible.
Fried Burmese Prawn Salad
Honest first impression: not my favorite. It tastes stale and old. The fried bean sprouts taste like they were fried yesterday. The shrimp is very hard. Not blowing my mind, I'll tell you that.
