Hla Myanmar
This is just a simple restaurant, but a good one for those on a budget. They are specialized in Bamar Burmese curries, so this is a good opportunity to have what the locals eat. You can just point at the curry of your desire and then take a seat at one of the brown chairs. It is quite hard to find, so ask the locals for directions. It is well-known among locals, because the famous actor Shwe Ba used to have his house in the area and the restaurant is sometimes named after him.
