- Today's episode from Ukhrul in Manipur features an enriching tour of the all women Ava Market, Korean dish experience at a popular restaurant cum bakery, local style chicken curry tasting at a daily meal hotel and a pulsating musical night experience at a local club premises. As the earlier ones, this schedule too was curated by our amazing host Ammo from Living Manipur.
This journey commenced with the visit to the Ava market which is an all women market in Ukhrul where one can find all groceries and kitchen essentials required by the local populace under one roof. A diverse range of fresh local ingredients on display at the counters run by the local womenfolk. As we navigated through the stalls, Ammo introduced us to some popular and some lesser known vegetables, beans, pulses, rice, dried fishes etc. This visit was an opportunity to have a better understanding of the culinary culture prevalent across the region.
The next stop was a lovely bakery cum restaurant named Mungkung Restaurant which is run by a husband and wife duo. Shaped by the growing Korean influence in the state, their menu had a delightful range of Korean dishes in place. After a heartening conversation with the passionate and warm lady owner, we decided to try the Kimbap. This classic appetizer was beautifully presented and it was quite good in taste.
The third and last food stop of the tour was a non descript daily meal eatery called Soso Rice Hotel. It is humble place that caters to the travelers and locals alike. The setting was similar to a rustic home with a small kitchen area and a cosy sitting area. The family running it stays in the adjacent room. The lady owner was busy preparing the dinner. We tried a small serving of the just prepared yen thongba or chicken curry. with light spices, this country chicken curry had a homely feel to it.
While returning to our homestay, we stumbled upon a musical night at the premises of a local club. The pulsating performances made us groove along with the frenzied audience. Ammo informed us how these shows are a frequent thing over there.
Overall we had a wonderful time exploring new flavours, sights and interactions.
**Despite the ongoing ethnic conflict in Manipur, we made a conscious yet hard decision to proceed with our food video series from the state which was filmed between 30th Jan and 3rd feb 2023.
Our intention was to showcase the incredible warmth, love, kindness, camaraderie and enthusiasm we encountered during this immersive visit.
It's essential to acknowledge the complexities the state is going through, but we firmly believe in highlighting the genuine goodness of the people whom we met during this wonderful journey.
Throughout the five-day tour, we encountered a heartwarming display of hospitality, generosity and harmony. We want to reassure that our approach remains sensitive and respectful towards the ordeal being faced by the people of Manipur.**

A gentle way- Quintessentially Manipur..."this is what it is" awesome and much love from the region . Thank you Anubhavji ,team and host.
The market is super clean. No wonder tangkuls are known for being hygienic. Good people to hang out. I've know a lot of them from Edmund college, shillong
Politics divides us and food unites. Amidst the chaos in Manipur a much needed food and travel blog for us to enjoy. Its like a gift from Delhi food walks to Manipur. Thank you Anubhav ji. Love from Assam.
I hope you enjoyed your visit to Ukhrul. The white salt cake (Machi in Tangkhul) is made from salty spring water by boiling the the salty spring water overnight (in Tangkhul it is found in few villages only. Grihang is one of the villages. **Any Tangkhul please correct me if I'm wrong). The root vegetable which you thought yam is actually Taro root (called Hangkorpai in Tangkhul).
Heimang (Khangkhuithei or Kabothei in Tangkhul) also known as Sumac. The sweetness in kabok is made from Sugarcane syrup.
I hope you will visit Ukhrul again and enjoy the pleasant scenic mountain and river sites (Camping/hiking/picnic) in and around Ukhrul area like Shirui kashong, phangrei, khangkhui cave, huishu river, shingcha wuyawon...
Stay Blessed!
#Ukhrul #Tangkhul
I visited Ukhrul for the first time this year. I was meant to go in 2022 for the Shiroy festival (a grand extravaganza), but I didn't manage to make it. This year, I resolved to go before returning to Mumbai for work. So, one lovely weekend, my cousin, a couple of friends, and I journeyed there. The roads were dusty and quite rough in places, but as the saying goes, bad roads lead to beautiful places. Despite the road's condition, Ukhrul is a truly splendid place. Though the road may be rough, the scenic beauty overshadowed it. I would describe it as an ideal escape from the bustling cities. The weather was chilly, though not excessively so. I strolled around the town, observing children playing, small streams flowing, and in the distance, I could catch the aroma of delectable dishes cooked with care and devotion.
If you find yourself in Ukhrul, trying pork or chicken prepared in the Tangkhul style is a necessity. For vegetarians, there's their unique version infused with various flavours. The preparation is simple, and perhaps this simplicity elevates the taste of the dishes. My companions and I decided to order a Thali, as we knew we'd be perplexed by the multitude of choices available. Oh boy, when that locally grown rice, slightly sticky, combined with Sirarakhong Chillies touches your palate, it's like experiencing Nirvana. I might sound exaggerated, but trust me, that's how it feels. Accompanied by a small serving of daal (lentil curry), we relished it as if it were our last meal on Earth. After devouring the entire feast, we inquired about the cost, and it was reasonably priced. I'm definitely planning to return to the same place soon.
After leaving the eatery, we went to meet some friends. By then, the wind had picked up, and it was time to head home. As dusk settled in along with rain, we started our journey back to Imphal. It's no surprise that a renowned Manipuri singer, Naba Volcano, once said, "Ukhrul da thamoi lei houre," which translates to "My heart is in Ukhrul."
P.S. The quintessence of Indian food is the Thali. However, in Manipur, the epitome of the Thali takes on a local twist with dishes ranging from Iromba to Tangkhul-style pork curry.
Cheers
Yet another exciting episode, love this series in Manipur. Ukhrul is paradise of Manipur endowed with good weather, food, & natural vegetation. Uttam is jamming & tamo ammo started dancing😀. That's our Manipur- , food, music, hospitality, generosity.
Hope My state will come back to this at the earliest.
I don’t know why the channel like this has so less views..bogus channels giving paid reviews has millions of views..😢
Anubhav ji your modesty is amazing..best food vlogger in India😇😍
Thank you so much 🙂
Tangkhuls are our elder brothers for Meitei It is amazing to see our brothers. Eagerly waiting for the next episode. Loved it I am from Manipur and hope peace returns soon. Next episode please ❤
meitei mayangs we are not ...... tangkhuls are a vary diverse group //// stop using tat as a blinket term for all tangkhuls ...... just because of one or two clans ......
Anubhav Ji...,
Very Informative video.
Simple (RICH) food is the REAL food..!!
Wish Manipur to settle down once for all and All communities to live with lot of love amongst them... 🙏
One correction: Hindi wasn't banned. Only Hindi cinemas in local film theatres. Mainly to protect local film industry. We got Hindi movies via DVDs and TV channels.
Also Korean cultural introduction came with introduction of cable tv. Funny thing is that all the kids wanted to watch Cartoon Network and the Cartoon Network channel and the Korean Arirang channel were usually next to each other. Then Arirang itself became popular.
Must say,, theis channel's host's(anubhav) level of patience is really Commendable.. And super pleasant surprise to have a delhi food walks named channel coming up with this manipur tour..this video at this time is a lovely reminder of how variious communities don't need to wage war against each other.. And if not in harmony atleast not kill each other..
Love Ukhrul and our lovely Thangkhul ❤❤❤

Great video! So nice to see the old peaceful Manipur. Keep it up
suggestion, change the channel name to india food walks, since your videos includes all other state videos too
No, Delhi is his origin, his home. That's where he belongs.
I’m pretty sure his company is called that because he provides food tour services in Delhi
The person is from. Delhi he represent his identity
Liked the local products explanation. Some products are new to me.
Hi Anubhav, This series is really fantastic and informative, even being from Nagpur but still I like this one, appreciate your effort and the Co friend.... I guess such videos can collect and unite all of us together. 😊
Thank you sir for visiting in manipur

Love to see ua combination with amo sir...hope u enjoyed staying in Manipur
In Manipur also some parts of the places have salty soil so our ancestors used salt from the salty places and filters from it so that the structure look like that because this salt is not from the sea
Thank you for visiting my Home Town ❤
❤❤❤
Lovely video 🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍❤️❤️
The Banana Cake black part is its seeds most of the organic banana you'll find in this region will have seeds in it
Dada come to khulna Bangladesh
That type of salt is called thumpak and used to eat when a woman gave birth 5 to 7 days is having along with rice like along with ngamu akangba(dried snakehead fish)
Sir, Thats a local salt which are manifactor locally with anciant method. From Time immemorial high amount of salt contian water are found in some areas of manipur.
❤❤❤❤❤ love Ukhrul..
Nice content.
Banana in banana cake is not fried. The raw banana is just mashed and mixed with the cake batter. It will just turned black on cooking.
Mr. Angom is very knowledgeable and tries to explain things simply and sincerely but he is a human being after all and mistakes happen. The round salt is the locally produced salt by boiling salty spring water. It was used in Manipur before the packed salt and was made illegal to sell because it does not contain iodine. But it has lots of other good minerals. So, it is eaten by newly delivered mothers for a period of 3-4 months till she is fit again. This salt should be a gourmet salt and should be very expensive due to the limited quantity and labour intensive production and its health benefits if marketed correctly. It is been used in Manipur for ages and something is not used for ages if there is no use to it.
Very educational thanks for sharing the experience.❤
This is uUkhrul and its named differently than you are explaining der guide,like akhuni is commonly called 'theisui' in tangkhul dialect
N i believe the guide is a meitei from imphal valley and theres a varied difference in many things especially how you name the vegetables.
Just a gentle reminder!
Happy vlogging...

Stinky beans are called stinky beans bc of what you get after eating it😂only the people who’ve eaten it will know
Your guide amazing but can't understand what he explained
Hi sir Akshay joshii aap ke sare video dekta hu,Dehradun se hu ,aap aaie bhi ho but aap se kabhi mulakat ni ho paaie
Milte hai kabhi doon mein
Clean market not like Bihar and Delhi type
Thank you for coming to ukhrul. Would have been better if you had got a local tangkhul guide. Your guide was completely wrong about the salt (no offense to anyone) and his descriptions about the local produce were half baked. We call feemented soayabeans as "theisui" in ukhrul and not "hawaijar" and perilla seeds as "hanshi". Again no offense to anyone! Happy food vlogging!
Please tell me how can i press 5 likes...
Oh gosh Anubhav , you need to come back to Ukhrul again but eith a tangkhul guide. It is banana bread and it is not made with fried banana! Gosh!!!!! Its baked banana bread. You bake banana with flour you get that black texture. Everything is disoriented with what your guide is telling you ya.
Over acting
Anubhav ji sorry to say these but this is one of the worst and boring episode or yours pls make Bihar episode
If you don't explore new things you have not lived meaningful life...
@@plum2600 ya I agree with u experience can be bad and boring or it can also be good but for me these episode is boring these is my POV
Love ❤️🩹
Haha really ...??? If u can't taste variety of food across....how can u say food vlog....
@@mayankkaushik810u should add according to me i didn't find it boring but u do but ur labelling is problematic although u cleared in reply section
