Red Star (Nyaung Shwe)

Small family-run restaurant with a genuinely warm welcome and food well above what the plain setting suggests. Avocado salad, Inle tomato salad, tofu and vegetable curry, hot and sour chicken and fried noodles with cashew are the dishes regulars name, and the avocado shake has a following of its own. Generous portions at low prices, with lassi and fresh juice too. Staff may offer off-menu dishes worth trying.
