Cherry Hakha

Top choice in Chin State


There's no better exemplar of traditional Burmese food culture than this always-busy, atmospheric, wood-floored restaurant, crowded with families, couples and office mates holding meetings. The menu includes classic mohinga, roasted duck (K15,000), a half-dozen crab dishes, grilled fish, spicy prawns and a squid hot plate. Fried rice and noodles are cheapest at K2500 to K3500; most meat dishes start at K800.
