The night began over cocktails and champagne, at the waterfront garden, overlooking the Inya Lake . To continue with a degustation menu of Burmese/French dishes paired with local Myanmar and international wines by Chef Dumoulin and his expert Sommelier.
Carlos Melia commented on his blog… ” Trust me, if you visit Yangon, this is a gourmet experience you cannot miss.
