Launch Menu

and its evolution

We launched with a simple menu in 2022 and have since gone through four major revisions between 2022 and 2025 — each shaped by customer feedback and our ongoing pursuit of creative menu innovation.
In a challenging economic climate like Myanmar, where inflation hovers around 40% annually, the success of any restaurant business depends heavily on robust financial controls. With the expertise of CPA Thida Aung, we established strong financial procedures and systems that now form the backbone of our operation.
