One restaurant I really found intriguing was the Bodhi Tree, a Burmese restaurant. Luckily the restaurant is a mere 10 minutes walk from our hotel and is tiny, fitting around 15 tables and I’m charmed by its orange walls and Burmese menus, within 30 minutes all of the tables are packed and the restaurant is buzzing.
