The aim of opening this restaurant is to introduce Indonesian cuisine to Myanmar People and Foreigners because we have to find out that there is no Indonesian restaurant in Myanmar. We opened this restaurant at the end of 2004. Not only Indonesian cuisine but also European and Myanmar cuisines are also available here. Since, ours is a restaurant and bar, various kinds of drinks and cocktails are available too. In the menu, we describe only the selected cocktails. But we can serve International cocktails if the customers demand. Most of the customers coming to our restaurant are the diplomats, embassy staff and celebrities. Since our restaurant is located in the quiet environs, those who love to have food and snacks peacefully come here. We start open this Manis restaurant in Myanmar. And as the second step, we are going to open this in Singapore. So later, Manis restaurant will be seen in many countries.

Out of these many international standard restaurants, this Manis restaurant specializes Indonesian Food. What’s more, Myanmar and European cuisines are also available here. Especially, the cuisine named “Nasi Compur” which is served with banana leaf is mostly demanded by the customers.

In Nasi Compur setting, there includes-steamed rice with chicken or fish curry, spicy stewed beef, mix vegetable curry, pan roasted eggplant, crisp dried fish with roasted peanuts and potato cutlets.

Urap salad is the most appropriate side dish for Nasi Campur in which Balinese style tossed vegetable with fresh chills and Javanese spices are being mixed.

Since International-Standard restaurants have emerged in our country, Myanmar people can try international cuisines as a change. Moreover, it can promote tourism industry because tourists can also have what they usually enjoy in their countries at these restaurants.
