assalamu alaikum
Sina, u cant get kyat, ie myanmar local currency, in Singapore. You will need to bring in US$ and change to kyat in Yangon. Near Park Royal Hotel, is the Bogyoke market. U can get ur money there or change at Central Hotel which is besides Traders Hotel.

Make sure u bring in clean US$ bills. Bigger notes , for eg US$100 will get a better rate than smaller notes.

Re Food
You can buy briyani , from a stall behind Trader Hotels. I usually buy from the stall nearest to the traffic light.

I was told that the cafe at Micasa hotel is halal. I have not checked it out. I will only be there on 15 Aug n staying at Micasa.

Re Shopping
There is lots of things to buy from Bogyoke market. Rubies, jade etc. lots of ladies accessories too. Mother of pearl placemat cost about us$18-20 per piece. quite good bargain. Ladies slippers n sequin sandals. Men sarong/longyi, nicer design than in Singapore.

I was told that prescribed glasses is 50% cheaper in Yangon. There are also lots of tailor. Definately cheaper rate than what we have back in Singapore.

Happy Ramadhan

If you would like to have a halal food restaurant, just head to the shops/restaurants near the Sule Pagoda in downtown. Restaurants near Sule Pagoda are mostly halal. Look for “786″ sign in the shop’s signboard.

salam,
I’ve been to Yangon several times n will be going there again on 15-28 Aug. There’s a few halal foodstall there. Behind Traders Hotel, there is a row of shops selling bryani. I dont remember the name, but one of it is halal, the one nearest to the intersection.

Opposite Bogyoke Market, there is a shop selling friend chicken. This is halal. It is the same row as the pizza shop.

I heard that Micasa hotel has halal food. I have yet to check it out. HTH

Muslim or whatever if you are from other country don’t eat anything that they sell on street.I mean food.Myanmar is really poor country so most of the people who make their living by selling food can’t effort good ingredient.Like oil.The major problem is oil.
The oil they use in fried and curry are not clean.And there are a lot of unclean thing like plate and cup.They barely wash them.So if you eat that food you had a chance of infect tape worm if you eating meat.And cool and soft drink you will get cough.
It is not like adventure from discovery travel and living.85% The restaurant in Myanmar are really dirty.
