Kyay Oh Ba Yin - 27th Street (Upper Block) — Restaurant in Yangon

Pros-

HUGE serving sizes (I'd recommend taking the smallest one even if you're hungry)

The restaurant is one of the oldest if not THE oldest serving Kyay oh in town

Very reasonable pricing, a bowl of medium Kyay Oh will only set you back around 4000 MMK

The staff are quite friendly and even explained how to approach the dish when we appeared to be struggling

Cons-

The dish itself is nothing special, detailed review below

Hygiene/Cleanliness is a slight issue but we probably had the worst seats in house to be fair, right at the entrance opening out to the street where the smells/dust would be greatest

Details-

Kyay Oh is essentially a soup made from the bones and intestine (?) of the animal. To complete the dish, there are pieces of steamed/boiled meat and organs, boiled eggs, your choice of noodle and greens in the soup.

For anyone unfamiliar with Kyay Oh as we were when we ate here, I'll try my best to describe what it tastes like-

We ordered a pork Kyay Oh with flat rice noodles. Not much to say about the noodles; the broth itself has quite a strong yet not pungent flavour of pork. It isnt spiced at all from what I could taste and only lightly seasoned.

The pieces of pork were also rather devoid of any real flavour- being simply boiled and not spiced/seasoned. These are to be eaten with the condiments kept on the table- soy, chilli and a sweet chilli sauce. With these they do taste pretty good.

There was the surprise presence of a few organs in the soup which I was not expecting, prepared similarly to the meat. Im not a huge fan of organs in general but am not letting this affect the review.

All in all I'd say it was a decent experience, but dont consider it...

The actual name of the restaurant is Kyay Oh King. So this is the name that you should look at when the map shows you. The noodle and soup taste great. Quite pricey for any food in Yangon but the portion is HUGE. so totally worth it. A lot of people come here for a small shop. U might want to wait your turn...

Opened since 1968, one of the famous kyay-oh shop in yangon and the oldest kyay-oh shop in myanmar. The noodle and soup taste great and then a lot of meats and meatball. Place is small and no air-con, just only fans, but service was great.Their duck-Blood salad was great. Highly recommended...
