Padonmar

Sit in the garden-courtyard, lit up by lanterns strung in the trees, of this restaurant that’s hailed as the best for Burmese cuisine (the menu also features a large Thai selection). Start with some of the many delicious small-plate dishes, including grilled eggplant, pickled tea leaves and winged bean salads before ordering curries (don’t miss the butter fish and tofu versions). Burmese cuisine is not overly spicy; instead, diners are given tiny dishes with chilies and dipping sauces to adjust to their liking. Padonmar is in walking distance to the Governor’s Residence.
