$100 Myanmar Street Food Challenge!!


In this episode of Best Ever Food Review Show, host Sonny Side attempts a $100 street food challenge in Yangon, Myanmar. Despite the goal, he finds the city's street food to be so incredibly affordable that he is unable to spend the full amount, highlighting the economic situation and the unique culinary culture of the region.

Key food highlights from the journey include:

  • Rakhine Seafood & Chicken Foot Salad (0:49 - 5:29): A bold start featuring fresh (yet sidewalk-prepared) seafood, including squid, octopus, snails, and jellyfish, followed by a local-style chicken foot salad.
  • Burmese Pancakes (5:29 - 9:00): Sonny samples both sweet pancakes made with palm sugar and coconut, and savory pancakes topped with Indian beans and sesame seeds.
  • Fish-Shaped Waffles (9:00 - 10:26): A local take on a Korean street food classic, offering a variety of unique fillings like vanilla and shredded coconut.
  • Burmese Corndogs (10:26 - 14:47): Unusual versions of corndogs, including one filled with chicken balls and another featuring cheese stuffed inside a sausage.
  • Bracelet Donuts (12:45 - 13:49): Sonny's favorite snack of the day—a crunchy, rice-flour based donut glazed with palm sugar syrup.
  • Fritter Stall (13:49 - 17:05): A variety of deep-fried delights, including corn, onion, and bean fritters, served with a tangy, spicy tamarind sauce.
  • Dried Mango Rolls (17:05 - 18:08): Described as "Burmese Fruit by the Foot," these dehydrated mango rolls are a standout discovery.
  • Samosa Salad (18:08 - 20:46): A uniquely Burmese interpretation of Indian samosas, transformed into a complex salad with lentils, potatoes, and fresh herbs.
  • Beef Gut Soup (20:46 - 24:01): A hearty meal featuring beef intestines, stomach, and beef balls, which Sonny enjoys while seeking shelter from a sudden tropical rainstorm.

Throughout the video, Sonny provides context on the rising food costs in Myanmar, noting that while prices have increased by 20-30% due to political and trade challenges, the country remains remarkably inexpensive for travelers.
