During my trip at Sa Pa, I had some of the best food. To be frank, I really enjoyed all my meals there.
The Hmong Black Chicken Pumpkin Soup was a must-try. In most reviews, people enjoy it. I absolutely love it. To be honest, I don't really remember what the names of the other dishes are. But show these photos to the staff. The food were all good, but the steamed and fried bamboo rice were not really our thing. We prefer our sticky rice better. The vegetables were divine (caveat: I love vegetables). It was a close second after the soup and it is something I can't find at home. I would really come back for the soup if I could :'(
Took me a while before I found what this place was called as it was a recommendation from our driver. We love this restaurant so much we came back twice. The first time we had the sturgeon steamboat because it was rainy and cold. I love their pork and banana blossom salad (not for all). We had a portion of the Ca-Nach pork here and it was delicious. you have to book in advance for some of the whole banquet (which we probably can't finish).
Best of all, this place came with a flute player who serenaded us with pop songs throughout. <3 So much love for him, we tipped him heavily. Also the waiters here could speak both English and Mandarin which made ordering a lot easier.
If you would like to try Sa pa's fine dining, you got to check this place out. We chance upon this restaurant and the food was so good. I think it is fusion but the taste is something we don't really find on the streets and back at home. I wouldn't deem this to be cheap (nearly SG restaurant prices, but not fine-dining price), but it was definitely worth the money. I can't wait to be back with my husband so I can show this off to him :P

Cafe Spots
This is quite a tourist-known place and it has great view. The drinks are really good too and it serves decent food upstairs. I would have hung out here everyday cos it is so near our hotel. You can just sit at their al-fresco seating and watch the funicular railway go up and down.
Sa Pa has quite a bit of nice cafes - cheap with awesome view. The only problem is that there is just that much coffee I can drink a day without getting insomnia at night. Sa Pa is a great place to take a more relaxing pace and just do some cafe-hopping. Apart from De Mong, there are many similar cafes with breathtaking views or themed photo-areas. The only problem is that it is crowded by domestic tourists, dressing in a specific style, taking countless photos.
