After the circle-line train our next stop is tea and lunch at the "Modern Tea Shop". A great place to people watch and to watch the unique method used to pour the tea - a fascinating spectacle.
Tea shops are an integral part of Burmese daily life. Morning, noon and night they are busy with friends socialising over a warming brew, families enjoying a snack and businessmen conducting important deals. Traditional tea is served with a dose of sweet, condensed milk and accompanied by a green tea to help wash down the sugar. Tea shops also serve a range of savoury and sweet snacks.
