Taste Your Way Around Mandalay on Teahouse Foodies Tour

Hop aboard a rickshaw ride with a difference on Grasshopper Adventures' fascinating Mandalay Tea Shop Foodies Tour.

This unique, half-day culinary adventure opens the door on a world few travellers get to see – the teashop culture that is integral to the communal life of Myanmar's second-biggest city.

Join locals as they sip steaming cups of sweet tea and eat delicious traditional snacks. Chat with teashop owners to learn some of the history, traditions and secrets of Mandalay cuisine.

You might try the famous morning noodle dish mohinga, Myanmar pancakes, samosas, Mandalay salad, Shan noodles and numerous sweet treats. A stop at the local market is also a highlight.

Tours are by chauffeur-driven rickshaw, so you can relax and take in the sights as you make your way down the backstreets from teahouse to teahouse.

Your entertaining, English-speaking guide leads the way, whether you are travelling solo, or in groups of up to 10.
