This cafe on the 20th storey of Sakura Tower looks like an undressed ballroom of a hotel. Uninspiring blue carpet with tables lining the windows, and an expensive menu.
We paid 3,000 kyat (slightly over US$4) each for our iced coffee. I wanted their home-made New York Cheesecake but it wasn't available.
Despite the underwhelming ambience, it is still worthwhile to get a bird's eye view of Yangon while escaping the heat.
From where I was sitting, I could see the golden Shwedagon, the stadium, the railway station, the Kandawgyi Lake, and on the opposite side of the cafe the Yangon River.
The cafe doesn't allow tourists to walk in for a free view so be prepared to pay. Set lunches are approximately 7,000 kyat per person.
Cost (US$1 = 750 kyat):
- 9,700 kyat - club sandwich and duck noodles at Zawgyi House
- 3,000 kyat - Chinese-Burmese book for Mr Universe
- 2,000 kyat - postage cost to Bagan
- 12,000 kyat - sunset dinner at Junior Duck overlooking the Yangon River
- US$22 - stay at White House
