Lin Htett Myanmar Traditional Food
BURMESE $
(Yone Gyi Rd; meals from K2500; 9am-9pm; )
Hands-down our favourite place to eat in
Nyaungshwe, service at Lin Htett is as friendly as the food is delicious. If you haven't
yet encountered authentic Myanmar dining, here's the drill: choose a curry or two (refer
to the pictures or, better yet, have a look behind the counter), and perhaps a salad (the
pennywort salad, made from a slightly bitter fresh herb, is delicious). You'll find the ac-
companiments (rice, a sour soup, vegies, a fishy dip and three
balachaung,
chilli-based
dips) will be supplied as a matter of course.
