It's defnitely 'mohinga' considered as the national dish of Myanmar. It can be eaten morning, noon and night but people there usually have it for breakfast. Coconut noodles (in Burmese 'ohn no khauk swear') is also popular and I can even make it here in the US. As for Shan noodles, it wasn't as well known when I was living in Myanmar but now it has become a favorite of both the locals and tourists, and you will see many Shan noodles restaurants in Yangon and other cities all around the country. As the name points out, this dish originated from Shan state where the spectacular Inle Lake is situated. As for chopstick etiquette, you guys have nailed it down already. Don't worry about making any cultural gaffes in Myanmar, the people there are very kind and understanding (as you have probably found out already) and will never mock you for making social blunders.
That breakfast looks amazing. Cant wait to experience it ourselves when we go at xmas this year. Ill be watching all your vids to get some tips and ideas. Keep up the good work :)
I don't know what exactly but there is something special about you guys. All your videos are full of positive energy and your happy attitude towards everything you show is just so incredible. I love watching every single video, not because of the topic (it's always interesting though) but because it is always nice and clearly explained and edited in the highest quality and it is always a treat. Definitely one of the best vloggers on RUclips. You're just so beautiful people. Thanks for your hard work :-)
My parents are from Cambodia which is another country in SEA, and this breakfast is very similar to what we eat and I’m guessing most of us from that region is alike as far as food. Usually for us, breakfast noodle comes in a soup like “Pho” but this style is a dry version where they give u a separate soup bowl and you have an option to put as much scoops of soup as u like mixed into your noodles for each bites. You can also just eat the noodle and then sip the soup together. Honestly I don’t think there’s a right or wrong ways to eat the noodle as long as it’s to your enjoyment. One thing though is I don’t think you’re suppose to mixed in the pickled vegetable into your bowl, those are side dishes and u can eat it separately. Also to your question, I don’t think there’s a specific way to cut those eggs, you do what you can with those chopsticks, so you’re fine.
I'm from Myanmar, and I usually mix the pickles with the noodles, because for me, they're too sour on their own. So, yeah, it's ok. I think Burmese people are not very strict regarding how you eat food. Ah... some elderly people might tell you not to make a loud noise while you're eating, but I think young people don't really mind that as well.
The one you eat is not typical Shan noodle.It is just soupless noodle(salad) to adapt Bamah people's taste buds.Original Shan noodles usually come in chicken/pork soups.To feel the real Shan taste, I'd like to suggest you to go to the most recommended shops.
Enjoyed watching your Burmese breakfast vlog. Spent the first 18 years of my life in Burma/Myanmar (born and raised in Yangon/Rangoon), Southern California has been home for the past 54 years, it is nice to see folks from my present home country (U.S.) visiting the country of my childbirth, Burma, and trying to learn about the people, culture and food. Although you were eating Shan noodles for breakfast in Yangon, and as others have commented, the national dish is Mohinga and hope that you had tried it during your visit. As for the chopstick etiquette, unlike other Asian countries like China, Japan etc., Burma has none that you have to worry about. Back in the day when we were growing up, mostly we used our fingers. Spoons were used to dish out curries or drinking soups. Hope you had a nice time. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Thank you, Usman! What a cool and unique perspective you must have! Have you gone back to visit since relocating? Yes, we had Mohinga many times as well. It was also delicious! Shan noodle became my (Mandy) favorite though :)
@@deeplizardvlog Hi Mandy, thanks for your kind response. Yes, I was allowed to visit after 40 plus years and have since visited a few times. Things have changed as they always do. Yangon has become too congested but overall the Burmese charm remains. Had planned to visit this year but COVID-19 pandemic made me think otherwise. As for the future, who knows. Wish you all the best. Stay well and be safe.
Leaving the chopsticks upright on food is a no go in Chinese culture, cos that essentially means that the food is an offering to the spirits, with the chopsticks resembling joss/incense sticks. You guys have learnt so much since the early days 🙂
OMG, the breakfast look scrumptious. Glad you remember the etiquette of the chopsticks and also the pouring of the soup into the noodles. At the end of the day, it will still be mixed up in your tummy so no issue with that. The other etiquette is to always finished your meal completely so as not to leave behind anything as otherwise you will end up marrying a pimply girl or guy. This is just borne out of Asia and Asians being in poverty but the whole region is slowly but surely waking up to be the most dynamic and interesting region of the world. You are fortunate to visit the region when it is thriving and progressing. Obviously, the food, is across the region to die for and you just have to watch Max McFarin from Arkansas, to see his joy in chomping on his food and chilies. This is despite warning him that chilies are not aphrodisiac and quite the contrary, it will stun one's growth.
When my family and I went back to Burma to visit relatives 2 years ago, our relatives took us to mostly more “upscale” restaurants and I honestly did not like it that much. I preferred those restaurants where all the locals eat. The food is a lot more authentic, tastier, and cheaper. You guys should try eating where the locals do. You’ll find that most of lthe locals love to eat chickpea puri and roti and ee gya guai (Chinese crullers). Burmese people are also huge fans of chai tea thanks to the British lol. At some restaurants the waiters will do cool tricks for you while pouring out your tea to make it bubbly. Those are technically Indian and Chinese food but they’ve kind of been given a Burmese twist lol. If you guys haven’t tried already, definitely try the “Lat Phat Toh” (Tealeaf salad) I know it sounds weird and probably looks weird to you guys😅 but it’s actually really good with some jasmine tea or a cold beer!
I am from Myanmar. I guess there is no 'official' way of using chopsticks. It is amazing how well you handled that noodle with chopsticks. Amazing videography.
Chinese people would mind it if you put a chopstick stick into the bowl but Burmese people don't mind about it. You can put chopstick into the bowl. Nobody will say anything.
I gotta admit that both of you guys using chopsticks "far-better" and etiquette than me even tho I've used to eat with chopsticks back In the old days. I'm going to crowdfunding for traveling to Sweden, Vietnam and even japan
Yeah I saw u that u guys used chopsticks well I'm from Myanmar u guys are amazing How is the food enjoyed?😁put ur middle finger into the chopstick when u used the 🥢🤤
Actually chopstick culture is from China and Japan ..for Myanmar it is ok what ever style u used or put it in the food no problem...because they dont' really too tradional ...on it because it is not their native ....utensils .."LOL I really meant it ...they have their own culture and traditional ...and their most traditional is mostly close to India .....but they do whatever it is better ..to enviroment ...:P
What's your favorite Burmese food? 😋🍜

Looks likes both of you expert with chopstick now
We've really enjoyed mohinga as well!
@Alright Ted I like it too, called "ohn no khauk swear" in Burmese.
par lu dar
I agree... Shan Noodles are delicious,but I wouldn't call it a typical breakfast dish. Mohinga is the typical Myanmar breakfast dish...
Loved mohinga as well!
Mohinga is my favourite too! I can eat it for any meal of the day!
Hi, I'm Burmese. Welcome to my country.
Me too
I am from Myanmar and In the morning we eat eggs/noodle and more and the rest of the day we just eat rice with curry!😅😅😅
That breakfast looks amazing. Cant wait to experience it ourselves when we go at xmas this year. Ill be watching all your vids to get some tips and ideas. Keep up the good work :)
You may not like all of the dishes, so don't be disappointed....anyway, no harm in trying anything once!

TomBrazy12Hunnit of course, this is dry version and normally I prefer soup version especially on winter morning. Love from Myanmar 😉

Love you guys and welcome 🙏 to my country...❤️❤️❤️
