We stop there after having dinner and before we reach our hotel. Is situated in the main road at aprox 10-15 minut walk from the town.The cocktails are ok and the prices are very good and fair (4000k all cocktails). They also have a free old dirty pool table.The best of all was the owners and the extraordinary fire show that we saw, far better than the one offered at Umes restaurant and one of the best I have ever seen.The only con of this place is that they are open air, so be prepared mosquitos, insects, ants, etc... also it is little dirty in some spots of the bar.

This restaurant specialises in Rakhine cruisine. Without an interpreter navigating the menu would have been difficult.Grilled prawns were good but the rest of the menu only average at best.
