Street Pizza for Lunch

There are a few different options for lunch by my school, although I often bring my lunch packed by Kim, there are some days that it is nice to get out of the building and wander down the dirt streets during lunch break. All of the street restaurants have arrays of Myanmar dishes that usually include various types of meats in seasoned oil/sauce, a few different stir fried veggies, hard boiled eggs, and other traditional foods.

The other week I was on my way to one of the street stalls that I frequent when a bright yellow sign caught my eye. "Alfredo Pizza" it said with a little character of a man throwing a pizza dough into the air. Although I hadn't heard anyone at school talk about this hole-in-the-wall street pizza place, I was intrigued and thought I would give it a try. 

As I approached I noticed a list of pizza options: cheese, sausage (aka hot dogs), pineapple, just to name a few. I thought I would play it safe and go for the cheese. I paid my 2500 kyat ($2.50 usd) and was told that the pizza would be 10 minutes but they would deliver it to me. I returned to my classroom and shortly after there was a knock on the door from one of the school staff with a mini-pizza box in hand. 

The pizza was surprisingly tasty for a street stall in Myanmar. Good dough, okay sauce, and great cheese. Mainly it was nice to have a lunch option that was not rice, noodles, or oil. Since getting my first pizza I have ordered it about once a week. It always comes promptly to my classroom door and one time I even got a sheet of stickers to boot!
