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 !

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

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.
