Shan State (Burmese: ရှမ်းပြည်နယ်, pronounced [ʃáɴ pjìnɛ̀]; Shan: မိူင်းတႆး [mə́ŋ.táj]) is a state of Myanmar. Shan State borders China to the north, Laos to the east, and Thailand to the south, and five administrative divisions of Burma in the west. Largest of the 14 administrative divisions by land area, Shan State covers 155,800 km², almost a quarter of the total area of Burma. The state gets its name from the Shan people, one of several ethnic groups that inhabit the area. Shan State is largely rural, with only three cities of significant size: Lashio, Kengtung, and the capital, Taunggyi. Taunggyi is 150.7 km north east of the nation's capital Naypyitaw.

Hahaha. Don’t get the pizza. Stick to the Thai or Myanmar cuisine. Had the clay pot with vermicelli (2000 Ks) and it was good. Others had the steamed fish in banana leaf (5000 Ks) which was tasty. Heard the grilled fish (45 min wait/ 10000 Ks) is one of their best dishes. Restaurant / bar served up cocktails, hard liquors and bottles of Myanmar beer (2500 Ks). Also fresh fruit juices (2500 Ks).

This unassuming restaurant is a gem. The owner is a lovely Burmese woman who prides herself on cooking with the freshest, organic ingredients. Her homemade pesto pasta is delicious, and her pizzas were pretty good for the location. If you're in the mood for drinks, the mojitos were some of the best I've ever had. Please do support local restaurants like this one during your trip!!

Stopped here for lunch on our first day in Inle Lake. I ordered a beef curry and tea leaf salad, my wife had the local fish. Split large Myanmar beer. We sat on the roof overlooking the town, and just enjoyed the heck out of our food. The bill didn't hurt, either - about $9. My wife kept going on about her fish, so we made our way back - she got her fish, I ordered pork. Delicious again. Go here, you'll love it.

We had plain hamburger at this joint and both of us were severely poisoned. The hamburgers were not fresh heavily spiced. I think the spices were added to conceal the not so fresh meat.

Thirigayha Restaurant

Also known as the Seven Sisters Restaurant. Listed in 2009 Lonely Planet guide for Myanmar, page 228.

Reviewed By C8074MTmichaelc

I’d been in Myanmar for just over a week before trying this place, and found its value much lower than the “Feel” franchise. The prices are about threefold higher than what you’d expect to pay, and the flavor was bland and/or wayyy to heavy on onion, and portions otherwise small. My visit may be an anomaly since a local friend actually recommended the place after liking it last year, but was herself disappointed. If you need English speaking staff and a quaint atmosphere, go for it but otherwise you’d be much better off searching a few extra minutes for one of the many hidden hole-in the wall gems... or even Feel which is itself a delicious and much cheaper restaurant.

She has a very nice staff and motivates them to study and get educated. Great place and lady, a must do according to me.

i was fortunate enough to enjoy a beautiful meal at this community minded cafe, whilst part of a tour group. One of our group had previously met Jim the founder & whilst he wasn’t present at our visit we had the privilege of meeting three of his family members. Their passion & commitment to providing training & support to the community was heartwarming & the quality of the food we were served was superb. As well as a bakery, & yoga studio they assist trainees in learning new skills to enable them to secure future employment.Special thanks to Blossom, her sister & brother for making us feel so welcome.Highly recommended.Thank you so much for your lovely feedback and comments! We are so happy you were able to join us this time around. We are glad you enjoyed your time with the girls and enjoyed the food and the work we are doing here in Kalaw. We hope to meet you again in the near future. Please enjoy the rest of your time in Myanmar and once again we appreciate your feedback on the work we are doing so much!!!!
