Little Myanmar

Little Myanmar opened in 2019 to serve Singapore's homesick Burmese community with halal-certified authentic cuisine from their homeland. Owner Kyaw Kyaw Lin, a Mandalay native who came to Singapore 16 years ago to pursue engineering, channels his heritage through dishes that attract predominantly Burmese customers – a strong indicator of genuine authenticity.

Located in Clementi, a 10-minute walk from the MRT station, the Muslim-owned establishment specialises in Burmese staples including mohinga (fish-based rice noodle soup considered Myanmar's national dish), Shan noodles, and Myanmar coconut laksa. These affordable preparations introduce non-Burmese diners to a Southeast Asian cuisine less represented in Singapore's food landscape.

Operating Tuesday to Friday from 9am to 8:30pm and weekends from 8:30am to 8:30pm (closed Mondays), Little Myanmar caters to breakfast, lunch, and dinner crowds. The early opening hours suit mohinga's traditional role as a breakfast dish, while extended hours accommodate evening diners.

For Singapore's Burmese community, Little Myanmar provides tastes of home prepared according to halal standards. For adventurous local diners, it offers an accessible introduction to Burmese culinary traditions beyond the more familiar Thai, Vietnamese, or Malaysian cuisines.
