BANGKOK/YANGON -- Myanmar's Yoma Group is bringing a local chain of noodle shops to Thailand this year, growing the conglomerate's restaurant business even amid political turmoil in its home market.

Singapore-listed Yoma Strategic Holdings, the operator of KFC chicken restaurants in Myanmar, will open the first Thai location of YKKO in a Bangkok mall. The chain offers a variety of noodle, broth and ingredient options for its signature kyay oh soup.  The menu also includes skewers and drinks as well.
