day 3: wanton noodles

Not exactly like what we have in Singapore, but the fried wanton is almost as good as our famous Fei Fei Wanton Mee along Joo Chiat Place.

999 Shan Noodle is one of the eateries recommended by Lonely Planet. It's easy to see why with its clean interior and tasty familiar food.

At 1000 kyat to 1500 kyat per main, it is our cheapest meal in Yangon so far.

Service is exceptional. Bun ordered a dried pork rice which didn't turn out to be the same delicious dish we saw the guy at the next table eating. We returned the plate with a grin, pointing at the next table, and they generously served us the right dish.

I would have polished off all ten fried wanton if Bun had not stopped me.

Cost (US$1 = 750 kyat):

• 2380 kyat - durian ice cream and other groceries from 360 degree supermarket
• 4300 kyat - lunch at 999 Shan Noodle
• 1500 kyat - taxi ride to train station
• US$22 - one night at White House
