Things to do in Hsipaw
In spite of not having many veggie options, the two options selected by us were delicious. The treat from the owner was exceptional and he also added some fresh fruit for free.Typical chicken or pork Burmese options can be found in the menu.
Chapati was very oily and came with a small serving of curry. Elsewhere in Burma I pay 250 kyats for a chapati but here they charged me 500 for one. We ordered 4 chapatis and when we went to pay she asked for 1000 kyats and then realised her mistake and quickly changed it 2000 kyats. Hsipaw in general feels like a close knit team who all seem to be working together to charge their tourists double the price. Unfortunately the touristy areas in Burma are becoming just as money greedy as the rest of south east Asia.We had a few really nice meals at Akaung Kyaik where a veggie set is only 1500 per person and you get a lot of food. Mrs. Popcorn was also really nice with normal burmese prices.
The food here is traditional Burmese curry and veg with rice. A veggie set is 1500 per person but the meat curries are a bit more expensive. She wasnât very clear on all the prices because at the beginning she said that a veggie set was 2000 so Iâm not sure if she was overcharging us. In Mandalay we paid only 1200 per person including meat and unlimited veggie refills. The food is really really good and clean here though, we didnât get ill once. The flavours and variety of the the vegetarian dishes were so delicious. We came back about 4 times to eat here.

We were really happy to find this place. The staff were really friendly and the draught beer was served in ice cold glasses which went down very well after a long day.We ate here twice and had the Shan noodle soup and veg hot pot, both of which were delicious.Try the cauliflower and egg dish as an extra. Yum !

We popped into this place for a quick lunch after visiting Myauk Myo village as it is on the way back into the centre. It would be an exaggeration to call it a restaurant, not much more than a roadside eating place with a few rough benches and tables. I had the much praised Shan noodle soup with vegetable, which was quite flavoursome, my partner fried vermicelli with vegetables, which were ok. We also shared a decent tomato salad. We only drank tea, which seems to be free throughout Myanmar, so the total bill was a bargain USD3. Nothing gourmet, but with those prices you can't really go wrong.

Staying in Hsipaw, I needed a place to eat. I had heard the Chinese food was great - the location super close to China, relatively. So I read here about Mr. Food, and decided to check it out.It's an open restaurant with a bar filled with high-end whiskey. As it is closed for midday, I arrived at night, and sat at a clean, large, wooden table. Mr. Food greeted me, and gave me a pad to order. I started with the sweet and spicy chicken - I wanted something familiar. It was fantastic, and I got some rice - super cheap even for rice - to soak up the tasty sauce.It's cheap, the service is good, and the food is great. Mr. Food is a character, and I ate a good number of their wide selection of dishes.9/10 would recommend anything with chicken.

Mr Wok restaurant is located on the riverside with a private access to the river. It is a wonderful place to relax and to contemplate the birds flying over the river. The Chinese and Shan traditional food is prepared by an experienced Chef. You can enjoy
Very friendly staff, amazing organic food and the river view, boy ow boy, is breathtaking! Perfect quiet spot to read or dream the day away.The owner is teaching English to empower local people. He's got a bunch of similar, social plans, so go local. By supporting his restaurant, you are also helping the local community <3

Kumudra Hill Bar & Restaurant is located on the roof top of Kumudra Hill Hotel, on top of a small hill at the entrance of Hsipaw, with a breathtaking view on the valley. The restaurant is managed by a French national and serves a mix of Oriental and Weste
Aside from the amazing views and fantastic food the hospitality at Kumudra is like nothing I have ever experienced. Thomas and all his wonderful staff went way above and beyond to make our stay in Hsipaw one of the most memorable in Myanmar.The pizzas are delicious and the homemade bread and pasta is amazing.

Really amazing place. I went there to relax, enjoy a coffee and Mrs pop corn did not disappoint me. Do visit this place if you are in Hsipaw before or after a Trek. Its slightly away from the city centre but definitely worth the visit. Little began is just around the corner from here.
