Ya Ti Organic Food Garden - Letpandan

Very cool resturant, cheap and yammy. Mainly serve Myanmar food, I personally love the soup noodles, will definitely go again if I stay longer in Bagan. The owner started the restaurant 2 years ago, he used to be a tour guide and knew much about Bagan. He even suggested us to go to his village nearby(Because we are a bit tired of Pagoda). He constantly checked on us if the food was alright and talked to us with great interests. Plus he has a dog that was very active and running around asking for affection, haha, must go.

I was by myself on an e-bike, thirsty, tired, and hungry when I paused to check out this place. They were very friendly and spoke English, so I tried it. I explained that I was a vegetarian, and they offered me a meal consisting of soup, pumpkin curry, a generous amount of rice, fried vegetables, a salad, a dish made with local leaves, onions and spices. It took a little time to prepare, but I was content to rest and enjoy a conversation with the gardener (They do grow their own organic vegetables and offer free tours . He was very nice and we had a lengthy conversation on a variety of subjects. He also gave me some of the local history, which I was familiar with, but many tourists don 't know about. I had said no salad as I am wary of food which isn 't cooked, but I tried the salad and the strange leaf dish. Soup, vegetable, pumpkin curry, salad were all very delicious...and I was given a bonus bowl of soup, plus a huge, cold bottle of water. (I must admit that the sour leaf dish was too strong and exotic for my tastes. I think they under-charged me- 2000 kyats, which is ridiculously cheap for such a great meal. I think I will go back there for dinner! Next time, I will take a photo of the food.

So quaint with so much love. The food was delicious, fresh and wellpriced (1000 2500 . The owner joined my sister and I for dinner and shared his experiences of growing up in Bagan. He is very passionate about palm trees so beware if you bring them up you'll be in for a very long yet interesting conversation :

Took my first ebike trip to Ya-ti's. Warmest welcome. Had pineapple juice with vermicelli and vegetables and complimentary soup. So delicious I couldn't finish it.

Go to this restaurant if you want the best Myanmar local food and best tea leaf salad! Really enjoyed my food and conversation with the owner of this place. Highly recommended!
