Let’s head to the tea house on the corner at the end of the street if you want to sample some of the local flavors. Rich and delicious, Myanmar tea (lapae yea), which is a mix of black tea, sugar and sweetened condensed milk, is highly recommended for you. What can be more amazing than enjoying this kind of tea with house-made pastries while seeing the world go by?
Zee O Village

About a 45-minute ride to the south east of Bagan, Zee O Village, where you can see the ways of Burma’s village life, pay a visit to the monastery and exchange locals’ social and cultural tradition with the venerable monk and village headman and take many stunning photos of the enormous thousand years aged tamarind tree, is the best to see rural life of Myanmar. In the morning, you should take time to see the palm sugar production and the cooking oil procession from sesame seeds and peanut in a traditional way.
Nga Tha York Village
Bagan has more than temples- source: internet
Located about 16 miles away from Bagan, Nga Tha York Village is where you can see how the locals produce bean paste and how different kinds of earthen wares are made. Myanmar travel tours
Visiting the local markets in Siem Reap, tourists might get struck with a large number of fried bread and shrimp cakes, which are one of the most popular appetizers in Cambodia. There are various stalls, where vendors bend over the hot flames to make golden, crispy French breads sprinkled with delightful fried shrimp. You try one and will want it more. These delicious cakes are surprisingly attractive even to those who typically do not enjoy fried foods. At the outdoor food stalls at the Pho Langka Market in Siem Reap, you can find some friendly ladies with large deep fryers. Each cake costs you between 500 Riel (~USD $0.12) and 1000 Riel (~USD $0.25).
Barbeque Frogs

If it is the first time you go to Siem Reap, you might mistake these frogs with miniature chickens on a stick. These freshly grilled fares are sold at most restaurants and makeshift stands in the Old Market as well as Night Market in Siem Reap. The idea of eating this dish may be weird at first, but once trying, you will completely forget this preconception. Let’s dip a piece of barbeque frog in a Red Curry Cambogee and enjoy this perfect post-boozing food! They taste pretty good to almost like Barbequed chicken, yet with a little bit extra juice and tenderness inside. Barbeque chickens, beefs and pork are normal, let’s give this stunning dish a try!
