Let’s be real – planning the perfect weekend night out in Yangon can be a challenge. You want great food, but also a great atmosphere. You want to relax, but also feel a bit of a buzz. Well, stop the group chat debate, because Meliá Yangon might have just dropped the answer.
Their signature restaurant, The Market, has launched a brand-new weekend concept called the “Rock with Salmon Sashimi & BBQ Buffet,” and it’s hitting all the right notes.
The Main Events: Surf & Turf, Done Right
This isn’t your average buffet line-up. The team at Meliá has zeroed in on two things we all love: ultra-fresh sashimi and sizzling, smoky BBQ.
First up, the “Rock with Salmon” part. Forget pre-cut plates. We’re talking a full live salmon sashimi station where you can watch the chefs work their magic. Pile your plate high with glistening, fresh-cut sashimi, a variety of sushi rolls, and all the Japanese salads and condiments to go with it.
Then, follow your nose outside to the live BBQ station. This is where the “sizzle” comes in. Chefs are grilling up a storm, serving everything from juicy beef steak and whole pomfret to classic chicken satay, pork shoulder, and fresh prawns, all hot off the grill.
But Wait, There’s More…
While the sashimi and BBQ are definitely the headliners, the supporting acts are just as strong. You can still graze through a huge selection of Asian and Western favourites. Think steaming dim sum baskets, comforting noodle soup, an antipasti spread, carving stations, and even Meliá’s signature healthy pasta (so you can tell yourself it’s balanced).
And, of course, save room for the dessert bar, which is fully stocked with freshly baked treats and homemade ice cream.
The Vibe: It’s a Whole Mood
This is where the “Rock” really comes in. Meliá isn’t just serving food; they’re curating an entire experience.
The goal? To create something “dynamic,” according to their team. It’s a place to unwind with friends in a relaxed, music-filled atmosphere. To make it a proper weekend celebration, the buffet includes free-flow beer and soft drinks, all backed by live music to set the tone.
