Bold, rich and full of depth 🍤
Our King Prawn (Bazun Sipyan) features butterflied king prawns simmered in a spiced chilli oil curry, cooked using the traditional Burmese sipyan method — a technique that slowly reduces the sauce until the oil and spices return to the surface, intensifying the flavour.
Best enjoyed with plain rice and a side of balachaung. Join us to experience one of the bold classics of Burmese seafood cooking.

Gin, orange curaçao, lime and bitters — bright, crisp, timeless.
First mixed at the legendary Pegu Club in 1880s Yangon, this refined gin classic has travelled far beyond its origins.
More than a simple gin sour, the addition of orange curaçao and bitters transformed it into a bright, refreshing escape from the tropical heat.
