With common toddy tree roofing areas like countryside landscapes, the restaurant features dishes from Clay Pork Stew to Burmese Prawn Curry with side dishes Chin Paung Kyaw (Fried Roselle), Ngapi (Fish Paste) and many more to pick. Price ranges start from 500 to 4,500 Kyats at the most, which is considered to be affordable for a lunch or even breakfast if you want to try the traditional Burmese dishes from dry zone of Myanmar.
