Thu Maung is one of the best places in Kalaw for a traditional Burmese meal. Order any of the curries — chicken, mutton, or whatever is on that day — and the green tomato salad, then leave the rest to them. The kitchen will send out an array of side dishes: balachaung, pickled bamboo shoots, soup, and fruit, all with rice that gets refilled as fast as you eat it. The meal ends with jaggery and Shan tea. The cost is astonishingly low, around two dollars per person.
