The Secret Home - Letpandan

I don't understand the good ratings, as for us everything went wrong that could possibly go wrong. The ambience is nice but there it ends. A/C is running constantly although it's quite chilly on a late December evening. The staff speaks little English and delivered wrong information about one of the dishes (soya tofu that tasted like rubber instead of Burmese chickpea tofu). We found a long hair in the fried rice. The other dishes were much too oily, the potatoes half raw, the bamboo was a bit too strong (maybe too old). Then they brought us the wrong bill, which was 4 times higher than the stuff we ordered. Tax and service charge on top of the bill although I didn't see any info about that in the menu. What a disappointment.

My favorite restaurant in Bagan. Incredible food, great price, friendly staff, very chill ambiance. Would love to go back.

Great food at great prices. Very friendly staff that went above and beyond to cater to special requests such as chilli flakes. Very comfortable seats and clean and orderly restaurant. All the food was served at the same time and was hot. 10/10 experience.

A nice Burmese restaurant that’s away from the main road, hence the air was not dusty or riddled with vehicular noise. This restaurant had a separate area for watching Burmese folk show. We ordered beef chicken curries and a plate of stir fried vegetables. Food was very tasty. We were also pleasantly surprised when they served us with a plate of fruits some tamarind sweets. Servers were also very nice and polite.
