In-Depth Information
one the best places in town to soak up a river view (not that it has much competition!)
and some breezes. The food is decent; most go for the roast duck (K7100 for a small por-
tion).
It's part of the Golden Duck chain of restaurants which also has a
branch
(
01-240
216; Kan Taw Mingalar Garden, Shwedagon Pagoda Rd, Dagon;
10am-10pm;
)
with a great
view of the south of Shwe dagon Paya.
Shwe Mei Tha Su
MUSLIM BURMESE $$$
(173 29th St, Pabedan; meals from K2000; 9am-9pm)
Located next door to Danuphyu Daw
Saw Yee, and lacking a roman-script sign, this is the Muslim version of the traditional
Myanmar curry house. The sour soup is replaced with a hearty dhal, the meat-based cur-
ries are rich and spicy, and sides include a smoky
balachaung
.
Aung Mingalar Shan Noodle Restaurant
SHAN $$$
(Bo Yar Nyunt St, Dagon; mains from K1500; 7am-9pm; )
Aung Mingalar is an excellent
place to indulge simultaneously in people-watching and noodle sipping. It's a simple and
fun restaurant with trendy city-cafe overtones.
Bharat Restaurant
SOUTHERN INDIAN $$$
( 01-281 519; 356 Mahabandoola Rd, Kyauktada; mains from K1000; 6am-8.30pm; )
Spe-
cialising in southern Indian dishes, Bharat's tidy interior and marble-topped tables make
a nice change from the long cafeteria-style tables at the Indian places on Anawrahta Rd.
Lotaya
SHAN $
(Bogyoke Aung San Market, Pabedan; mains K1000-3800; 9am-5pm Tue-Sun; )
Located at
the back of market next to the footbridge over the train lines, this simple place serves
Shan noodles and Thai- and Chinese-style dishes, in addition to iced coffees and fruit
drinks. They're not the best Shan noodles in town, but it's a good place to refuel while
shopping.
365 Café
INTERNATIONAL, JAPANESE $$$
