While it isn’t a street food market in any sense of the word, there are nearly a dozen Burmese street food stalls in Second Lane Beach Road and around Burma Bazaar in Chennai. However, these few stalls are famous enough in to pull more crowds than most eat streets on their own! Some of these age-old unnamed stalls have served authentic Burmese cuisine for over three decades and are remnants of a past when Chennai had deep ties with Burma. While cuisines such as Burmese are often restricted to fancy restaurants in Chennai, at these stalls, you can get authentic dishes such as khow suey (noodle dish) or mohinga (rice noodle and fish soup) for a little more than Rs.50!
