As a Burmese and a recently converted vegan living in UK, I watched your video with great interest and thinking how 'lucky' we are that there's so much vegan food back home. Glad that you guys enjoyed the food there.
I absolutely love Burmese food! Myanmar was by far my favorite country we have visited. The people melt my heart, the food is amazing and the culture so rich. Thanks for watching :)
Batter of savory crepe at 1:32 doesn't contain egg at all. Those eggs are used as topping at extra cost. If customer asks for it, she would just crack it open and spread it on the crepe. Otherwise, this crepe is just a rice crepe with palm sugar sauce(brown syrupy stuff she's spreading), beans and coconut shredding. Anyone who is looking for vegan salad in myanmar, just ask for "that that lit". Most Myanmar salads can be made adjustment for vegans.
On a side note, the closest word to vegan in Burmese is "that that lit". But you'd be surprise to know that most people in Myanmar still can't agree on what products should not be consumed to identified oneself as a "that that lit". Some people has loose definition of the word and consider dairy products as acceptable diet. But for the other, they follow strict definition as western counterpart. One rule of thumb is, never ask for "that that lit" dessert because most vendor would just say "yes" even if it contains butter/milk. But you can safely ask for salad and curries because we rarely use dairy products in them.
Mike M - "Thet That Lut" in Myanmar means "Free from Kill". In western terms is "Vegetarian". As for eggs, most Myanmars considered it as "live"; thus they avoid them if they are on "Thet That Lut". But some younger generations differentiate between the eggs that were produced from the breeding farms and those obtained from mating. Since the eggs obtained from mating can be hatched, they are considered live and should not be taken if one is on "Thet That Lut". On the other hand, eggs from the breeding farms will never hatch as the hens laid them without mating and thus considered them as lifeless and can be taken during your "Thet Tat Lut". Just for your info.
Brilliant video. Thanks. I was on a tour so we ate out all the time and our Burmese guides snubbed street food. But they did buy me a sticky rice breakfast one morning (because I kept asking about brown rice which after centuries of eating white rice, they can no longer digest brown rice). I fell in love and learned to make it for myself once I got home. I love it. My all time fave food though is green tea leaf salad. It's fabulous. I haven't learned to make the fermented tea leaves so I order it every time I eat out in a Burmese restaurant here and had it every day while there!
+Sally Churgel Wow I didnt know that about the brown rice. Makes sense though. Sticky rice is my favorite! It digests so easily for me compared to regular rice. Im not a big salad fan but the ones in Myanmar did not disappoint. Every time I would see a new salad on the menu and it was vegan or could be veganized, I ordered it. I even ate a potato salad near inle lake that was made of thinly sliced raw potatoes. It sounds weird but suprisingly good. Thanks for watching and im glad you liked it :)
Burma does use a lot of oil. It is a mixture of Palm and Peanut oil. My mom makes the best Lapet Thot (tea leaf salad) but she gets her tea leaf already fermented which is still bomb lol. Also if you haven't tried the ginger salad you should deff try that. Now I gotta go give my mom a call lol..

The pancake lady most likely thought you wanted to crack an egg on the pancake being made on the hot plate. The batter is mostly rice flour and water!
Well executed video. Thank you.
