I am from Myanmar and wanna say thank you for creating such lovely content about our country's hidden cuisines. With all chaos happening here, we almost forget that it is a great privilege to taste Myanmar food every morning.
I am an American and when I lived in Los Angeles, I became friends with a Burmese man. He made me a meal once - I admit I embarrassed myself at how much I ate. I've never tasted anything like that meal before or since, and would dearly love to have been at the table shown in this video, as well. This was very well-done. Thank you for giving such a clear explanation on why Burmese food hasn't broken through to the West like most all of the other countries in the same region. Very well-done; thanks again.
I’m Thai. I’ve been to Myanmar twice, really love there and waiting to go there again. I love people , culture, food ,etc. everything are so classy. Sending love to Burmese and pray for you
I am from an Indian state(Manipur) bordering Myanmar and I have tried some of their dishes and i can say that Burmese foods are exactly my type, very flavourful and more vegetable based. And I always make sure I bring back home some packaged Burmese foods specially the ingredients for la phet tho.
One thing we didn't have time to get to in this video is the Burmese vegan community in Bangkok. There are a small handful of Burmese vegan places/delivery outlets, mostly from the regions bordering India. Awesome stuff.
@@sanglunn He is most probably a native of Manipur. But there are some refugees which are nomadic tribes between Myanmar and Manipur and they roam the undemarcated jungle in the regions. They're the Kuki-Chin tribes. They're struggling to make their own identity by bringing many sub-tribe under main umbrella and form a new country.
Watching from Australia. This brought a tear to my eye as a first generation Burmese- Australian. I just made a batch of Mohinga which I shared with my friends two days ago as I too wish that Burmese cuisine should gain the recognition it deserves. Thankyou from the bottom of my heart for this video!! I look forward to your videos in Myanmar and the day where ohno kaukswe, Shan kaukswe and Le pethoke are ubiquitous!! ❤️
I am a Myanmar student. I also would like to thank you for spreading the traditions of Myanmar and showing the real situation of our country. We would like everyone to know what is Myanmar and what is happening here. This is such an amazing video about our country. Hopefully Myanmar may gain freedom from this political chaos and get more opportunities for everyone.
The fact is nobody care man They have their own problem If they knew ,what they can do Making vd for sad ,a letter Ukraine and Russia Israel and Palestine Nobody care
Stayed in Myanmar for 1,5 years and I miss literally everything from there. Living in that country was an incredible experience. Food from all regions, landscapes, cultures, and Burmeses and their kindness are the things that make my life there so special and unforgettable
As a kid growing up in Myanmar and having moved to the States, I always wondered what stopped Myanmar and Burmese cuisine from breaking through like Vietnamese, Thai, Indian and many other southern and south east asian cuisines have in the West. I felt that the focus on savory over sweet would have translated really well to western pallets and this video does an amazing job detailing why Burma effectively fell off the map
It’s because not many people know Burmese people or culture or food. There’s not a lot of Burmese abroad to help make the country known. Vietnam had a war and many refugees and immigrants migrated to America, Canada etc and they focused on crafting their cuisines and given that there’s millions of Vietnamese communities abroad it grew in popularity over decades. Thailand on its own was a favorite travel destination and people love traveling there and spread the cuisine around by word of month. Then many Thai who moved abroad opened up Thai restaurants and people found that they could get yummy Thai food locally. India too lots of them globally and popularize it’s cuisines.
I'm watching from Myanmar. This video is great. You did a really good job about your video quality standard. Camera shots, position, sound quality and editing are so perfect. Great work, keep it up.
Thanks so much! Yeah we always try our best but in this case, felt particularly responsible for making sure we told this story the right way. Wanted to show Myanmar and the food culture our respect by giving our best effort for the video.
As a person living abroad , your video makes me miss my country even more. Thanks a million for making this video and loving our food. I really love the whole story line in this video. How the scripts goes along well with what’s happening now in Myanmar and letting people know that there is this golden country full of savoury food and diverse food to eat. And obviously, all the foods shown in this video left me with my mouth watering. Thanks OTR and Chef Goo Goo for making this video happen. ❤
I am from Myanmar and I cried three times while watching this. Thanks a million for recognizing and appreciating our Myanmar cuisine and for creating this incredible video. I can't even describe how much I'm proud of these foods. Like Chef GooGoo said, I also really want those three recipes to be famous all over the world. (Lat phet thoke, Shan Noodles and Mon-hin-ga) These are my favourite top three. Their taste is so balanced and really delicious and the constituents are incredibly nutritional. I wish the world people could taste them frequently.
I’m just an average American living in a culturally diverse city, and I am grateful that it has afforded me the opportunity to experience a wide range of cuisines and cultures. Fermented tea leaf salad is pretty well known here, and it’s incredibly addictive and delicious. You don’t always have to travel to every corner of the world to experience new foods, but you do need to be open minded and willing to try unfamiliar foods and flavors.
As a Burmese living abroad, the video has made my mouth watering. I love all the food that's introduced in the video and I miss them so bad. Also thank you very much Chef Goo Goo for keeping the Burmese from extinction at a point in future. I truly respect and agree what she doing for the country. I would like to thank OTR Food & History channel as well for letting people know the food history of Myanmar.
As a person from Myanmar, I can say we were never hiding, whether in plain sight or otherwise. We just didn't try too hard to "stand out" like other countries who spend a good deal of money on marketing for tourism and foreign direct investment, etc. Thanks for making this video - you just helped us "stand out" a bit.
“We didn’t try too hard”? You wouldnt make it even if u try. You know why? First you don’t have the right attitude. I know you were talking about thailand mentioning the investment thing. We wouldnt make it if our cuisine were not that great. Second point is hospitality, burmese ppl dont smile and have zero to none service mind. Third, the cleanliness, even from burmese restaurant in the east village of manhattan to the local squat down si kyat down in latha most of the food in myanmar were being prepared in such a not hygienic conditions and almost alway served cold, not because it meant to serve that way but you guys dont even care to heat it up. You know why i know all of this I used to live in yangon and travelled across the country for a few years i know how often Burmeses eat and love thai food so dont pretend like your food didnt make it just because others try harder than you. Thats pathetic. Be proud of urself and next time be a good representation of ur own country. Oh btw most of the well known burmese cuisine were heavily influence by yunnan chinese, thai, and indian for example ong noh khaosoi the word khao means rice in thai and khao soi means noodle so make no mistake about that. Plus u might already know that shan ppl are closely related to thai ppl as they are tai yai ppl. I really appreciate how myanmar workers help us grow economically and i hope myanamr get back to normal asap.
@@JoeMAMA-gq3jq I’m confused, I said “someone finally pay attention” but I’m sure there are many people out there who is willing to give our dishes a try!
Thank you, and as a burmese born Australian, who also lived in Bangkok, I have so much respect for this video and its content. I am also married to an European wife and i introduced everyone i know to the forgotten burmese cuisine. Everyone loves all the dishes, especially my wife loves Monhinga and laphet thote. You guys are doing an amazing job. Great videos on the channel. Keep up the great job. It brought so many memories back and tears to my eyes. If there's any way I can help to spread the Forgotten Cuisine, I'm here. Thank you again.
Our first Burmese meal was a week ago here in Chiang Mai and it was exactly the same dishes as yours! And life changing. Such amazing unique flavours. We're off to Bangkok tomorrow so will have to check out some of the places you recommended. Maybe we'll see you around :).
Feel free to shoot a note to our Instagram and if schedules happen to align, can try to catch a meal while you're in town. Will be a busy next few days but at the very least let us know if we can be of any help!
This need to be viral. Your information input and dedication for this video is incredible. Thank you for showing the world about our country. You just got a new subscriber ❤
As a Burmese, thank you so much for sharing our cultures. It's been so long since foreigners make a video about our country. It makes me so happy to see this. Thanks a lot! Please come enjoy here again♡
As a *Burmese* , I'm so glad you create this video and put the history behind food. Literally, everything related to Burmese are not recognized because of everything had and have been happening. It's indeed sad.
Such a beautiful video that I watched today. As a Burmese, I do also have same opinion like Ma Phyu or Guu Guu. I love to promote Burmese Foods as they are diverse and unique. We have different kinds of food for different meals as burmese people eat different food for different meals. I mean the food that we eat for each meal is different. For example, in the morning, we have variety of breakfast food such as Monhinga, sticky rice, fried rice and some Indian foods and tea but for lunch, we mostly eat rice and variety of curries. Dinner is also different based on each person's preference. I hope every people have a chance to try the real taste of Myanmar soon.
A great video to introduce Burmese cuisine to those who are not familiar with. Burmese cuisine has increasingly gain popularity in the US over the last 10 to 15 years, particularly the mohinga fish chowder with rice noodles paired with the ‘bothee kyaw’ and ‘kyethun kyaw’ opo gourd and sliced onion tempura fritters, and the laphet thoke fermented green tea leaf salad. My wife is from Myanmar and I have visited the country four times, and from my wife have learned to cook some Burmese dishes, such as the Burmese curries which were influenced by the Indian bhuna curries. Thanks for posting, and cheers!
Best video of the year!👍Thanks for making this video, i dont see a lot of videos or people interested in Myanmar. I can't wait to go back to Myanmar(Burma) or at least to Thai just to eat all of those delicious food again. Omg i missed using the organic shampoo, those are the best. Missing Home more and more♡ I totally agree when Chef Goo Goo said Myanmar is invisible. Because i haven't met anyone who knew about Burma and always had to explain that Burma is near Thailand, China, India....
Malaysian watching from France and enormous thanks for this delicious "documentary". I have always wanted to visit Myanmar and curious about their culinary culture and cultures in general. This video really makes it more tempting to visit Myanmar, hopefully the situation will get better soon 🙏🏻
Most underrated food channel on RUclips. Thank you so much for what you guys do. The history deep dives are amazing and provide so much nuance to the meals you share with us. You guys deserve millions of followers
As a Burmese myself (from the lower part of the country), I have never tried Shan warm tofu. Seeing you enjoying it so much makes me also craves for it. Now I'm officially on a mission to look for the best Shan restaurant in my area.
The world hasn't known how amazing country Myanmar is, but unfortunately I have no idea how long will it take to be stable with the political situation in Myanmar, and Burmese people shouldn't have deserved to suffer in that situation.We have plenty of savoury foods that I haven't even tried all of it as a Burmese. Thank you for showing off our foods. I already subscribed the channel.
A million thanks to you and your team for letting the world know our cuisine and what's actually happening in Myanmar. Also, seeing one of my childhood friends' face (the manager of the restaurant) on the screen is the cherry on the cake. Words fail to describe my gratitude. Justice must prevail.
I'm glad you enjoyed our food. Ever since I was a kid, I've always had this question, "Why doesn't the world recognize our cuisines?". I mean I really wanted the world to try the flavors of our land. You just did and made a video about this. I can't thank you enough for this video. Love from Myanmar.
There are more than 130 ethic groups in Myanmar and we obviously have many kinds of food cuisines. Even mohinga has different versions in different areas. I like the Shan cuisine best. Currently craving for some Shan noodles❤
Totally touched ❤and very impressed by your insight for Myanmar through traditional food. I even broke into tears missing home dishes from Shan State while I am thousand miles away. I am so glad you created this inspiring video with GuGu.
Thank you for trying burmese foods and explaning it in detail ! As a burmese, it feels really great to see someone trying our underated foods and explaining forgotten history.
I had my first ever Burmese meal (a take on the coconut chicken noodles) in a meal delivery box in the UK called gousto, and I can't stop thinking about it ever since. I've since booked to go to a Burmese restaurant in London called Lahpet (the only one I can find) and ordered the "Burma superstar" cookbook. Would love to try more.
When the lady said that we are invisible,i felt that. It is sad to explain where u r from to ur foreign friends who have literally no idea what myanmar is. Thank you for introducing myanmar cuisine and sharing to the world.
FR no one rlly knows about myanmar theyknow us as burma but still try asking your online foreign friend " do u know the country myanmar " i am sure 95% would say "no"
You did an amazing job on showcasing not just the food, history and culture of our country. I’m amazed how organised and educational your video is about Myanmar 🇲🇲. Thank you for that great video ❤
The heart-warming and such a mind blowing video. The way the script goes, the way you edit, the way you explain, all is so Burmese for me. Thanks a ton for this video and Myanmar indeed is full of golden cuisine. Thanks✨
As a Myanmar, I am very thankful for you for trying Myanmar food, and sharing your experience. You put a lot of details in this video, and I can't thank you enough.
This brought me back to my 2 weeks in Myanmar in 2015. What a lovely people, and delicious food almost everywhere! Whenever I am in Chiang Mai bi always make it a point to also eat as much Burmese food as possible. Thanks for the video!
Thank you very much from bottom of my heart! I am watching from Canada. I feel both sadness and joy for my country. I want to say thank you again for showing the world about our country ❤
Thank you for your effort in introducing our food to the world. Burma has range and variety of food yet unknown to many. I haven't been back to my country half of my life and your video bring me back the time I was in Burma.
I'm a Burmese student from Myanmar. I appreciate your video creation and thank you for showing our traditional cuisine in your video. As a myanmar people, I would like everyone to know what's happening in myanmar and myanmar people's difficulties. Now you showed this. Thank you so much and do more such good videos.Have a good day.
Just finished watching this video and subscribed because I didn't expect you would do it in a proper way like that! Brilliantly created with a brief history about Myanmar considering you had just 48 hours to try Burmese food. Great work!
Myanmar is a country full of traditional cultures and foods. However, Myanmar's politics is complicated. Some of Asian cultures of Vietnam and Thailand even came from Myanmar. Appreciate everything that encourages our country's informations. Just looking makes me hungry.
I love making interesting connection but the fact that Myanmar being surrounded by big 3 of cuisines but we don't hear much from them is very nice find, it never crossed my mind despite them being my neighbor country, good job. Also i live in Bangkok and Burmese food is still hard to find, at least in my experience.
I spent 2 months travelling around Thailand last year and my favourite meal of those 2 months was in a Burmese restaurant in Chiang Rai! All the Burmese food was incredible
I'm very fortunate that both of the places where I most recently lived have been within walking distance of Burmese restaurants. Their cuisine is truly a hidden gem, blends the heartiness of Chinese cuisine with the spices of South and Southeast Asian cuisines.
Kop Khun Mak for your vlog. I had subscribed but hadn't paid that much attention until The Roaming Cook gave all his subscribers a little nudge. I love the way you introduce the cuisines and also add the history which most people are either not aware of, or they shy away from for various reasons. I'll be paying more attention from here on in. Food is life, food is love.
Just animate Burmese camping here in the comment section and I’m sincerely delighted to see your video! It was really high-quality and I do hope that the world would know more about our culture, rather than as a politically unstable country. It’s really sad like Goo mentioned, I do feel invisible among the international community 🥺
i tried myanmar food recently in bangkok, 3 different places , wow, its opened another door for me, its soooooo good, the texure , flavor, broth , the taste is so sophisticated , i cant not believe i didnt know it at all before !!! i will absolutely try more restaurants . thank you for your recommendations
Just returned from Bangkok last month and didn’t know about these places. Hoping to have more Burmese restaurant that serves traditional dishes in the DMV area. Thank you spreading awareness and Burmese cuisine.
Heart warming and mouth watering ❤I am watching from Japan 🇯🇵. Love the way you present my country's history and culture through cuisine. Miss miss miss inside of Myanmar 🇲🇲 ❤
As someone that was lucky to be born into a family full of Burmese culture, I truly respect and thank you for sharing Burmese food to your audience. I truly hope to see the day where Burmese restaurants and cuisine is well known throughout the world. Great work you're doing in this world. 🤝❤
I like the content and am glad to see someone interested in Myanmar food. In Myanmar, fermented Chinese cabbage is meant for Warm Tofu which is a common side dish in most Shan food. Moke Hnin Ngar normally eats with roasted chili powder, lime juice, and coriander.
Very well documented video. My girlfriend is from Myanmar(mon state) and works in BKK.. I'll be visiting for 2 weeks in April and will definitely have to try some Burmese food!
That's awesome. One day we'd love to do a Mon video- it'll require some travel but there's SO much history in Mon food...khanom jeen and khao chae as a couple examples
As a Burmese living abroad, your video made me to miss my home country Burma. Thank you so much for your video. I’m currently in UAE and there are few Burmese restaurants in Dubai anyhow comparing with other SEA restaurants, almost no one knows Burmese food. Thai and kabayan are really popular here. Whenever I try to explain what Burmese foods look like, I’m answered that it is like Chinese food. This is the most emotional part for me 😅. However this video can help me to explain how tasty and unique our Burmese food is.
I watched and I subscribed. Not because it is about Myanmar foods, just because Chefs told the truths about foods they had tried. Anyway, there are a lot to try because there are eight major ethnic groups in Myanmar. Each has its own culture, language and foods. So, I hope you can try and enjoy those foods some days. Anyway, thanks for your brilliant vlogs.
im in tears watching this.. thank you so much for noticing our country... im a high schooler, have been revolutionizing the military dictatorship by not going to school.. ppl have no idea how people in myanmar suffering... i hope all youths, adults all the people in myanmar have a brighter future ASAP. thank you universe for speaking out man ,thank you... , and ofc sooner in future come visit us and just tell ur name, i can buy you most unique and delicious foods!! btw, most of the foods you tried are my fav dishes
@@OTRontheroad again, thank you so much! I'm your big fan now🥰 I mean it, we will remember you and will offer you free foods!💗 + I'm sorry if my words are too informal, just want to thank you 🥺💗
We have an amazing Burmese restaurant here in New Zealand..it's incredible..these are my 2 favourite dishes..also a chef!! Really enjoying your south east Asia series
Watching you and my fellow Myanmar cherishing such rare Shan/Burmese ethic food… got me tear up ❤️🩹 Thank you… I’ve been away from the country for more than a decade.. I dream of the day when I can get all my authentic favorite Burmese/Shan/Yakhine food all in one spot.. in California And your “where have I been all this time?!” reaction is quite accurate haha
@@damnbroyoustinks9411 nuh. People drew up imaginary boarders that aren’t geographically valid.. for the egotistical philosophies & dictatorships. Besides, nobody wants to live in hell:) If everyone was given a chance, they all would leave. Don’t be jealous and grow some good heart
@@damnbroyoustinks9411 only the ones that are guilty, bullied or threatened .. run. And some make real important changes in the world. Some people migrate for better lives. I didn’t run. I left. So that I can help the needy and my own family. What’s your bitter story, big guy. So loud on the internet aren’t you. Hope your parents are proud of you like mine are:)
Thanks so much for the response. We've had a few responses from parts of the US where there seems to be a growing Burmese community...maybe mostly on the East Coast though. Let us know if you find anything in CA
@@OTRontheroad Daly City & Union City, CA has a large Burmese community. Burmese restaurants are scattered all over the state but hard to find the authentic ethnic dishes. I usually had to cook for myself. Los Angeles has some good restaurants too. It would absolutely be wonderful if we can have a Little-Myanmar in the SF Bay Area. We shall see! And thank you for responding and also for genuinely caring about our culture and food. You’re really awesome.
Thanks for your Myanmar’s culinary tour in Thailand. Your video is amazing and I almost get my tears out. Miss my country, family, relatives and all those lovely cuisines. We are counting the days to go back home safely and peacefully.
Almost 15 years ago the first place I lived on my own was Gaithersburg, Maryland. There was a burmese restaurant there and I very clearly remember the pickled tea leaf salad. I ate it as often as I could which to be fair wasn't often because I was broke. I don't think I've seen a burmese restaurant in the US since but I have always wanted to learn more about it.
Love this! Just found out about you from Gary Butler's channel. + Just saw him eating fermented tea salad in his latest, just before seeing yours! Can't wait to go through your back log. Plenty of great "Thai Yai" (Myanmar) cuisine places in Chiang Mai. Look around the north of the moat. Goo-Goo is a hero(in)! + we can now see where "Khao Soi" really comes from!
Cheers Don and appreciate the message! Gary's one of our favorites and so glad to hear you found us. I really need to get back to Chiang Mai...there's so much great stuff right in front of you (khao soi, khanom jeen...) that it's hard in a 3- or 4-day trip to really dive in to the outskirts of town and see everything the area has to offer. I need to get back up there, it's been too long.
Did you mean 'Thai Yai' from Myanmar? I want to correct that one as 'Tai'(Shan).But it kinda depend on speaking tone different.BTW 'Khao' mean 'Rice' and 'Soi' mean 'Slice' by translate by our language!
Burmese and Thai-yai Khoasoi version is a different from Thai version my friend a lot of people believed that this Thai food was created while got the influenced from the "Ho" people from chinese since the ancient time, in the past Thai people called this food "Kuay-teaw-Ho" which means noodle "Ho" style but nowadays Thai people called "Khaosoi"(wikipedia).
Knowledge and joy like this is what preserves humanity. Though I have lived in both India and Japan and traveled through SE Asia, my own heart language of food will always be middle-class US Midwest where I grew up. Thank you for helping show how food is central to our identities, yet also our greatest ambassador. EDIT: I want to go to Mynamar sooooo bad. But at least I know another place to try the food!
let's goooooo Burmese are finally getting recognised btw you deserve more attention and subs edit: yoooo you guys have never eaten lapat-toat? (don't know how to spell it in eng) that's crazyyyy
I'm not Burmese, just a guy hailing from city of Johor Bahru ( Malaysia) across neighbouring Singapore... Would have love to visit Yangon a couple of years ago... but then we knew what events happened since then..... There's a place in Singapore.... known as Peninsular Plaza ( dubbed Little Myanmar ) ..where there are many shops, restaurants and most businesses run by people from Myanmar..... I have tried the food before.... Mohinga, and as a foodie... I have to admit.... Food from Myanmar or Cambodia... which i have tried as well.. A little bit under the radar....Thanks for creating this vlog..... Glad I came across this .... Keep up the good work mate!!
Yo dude, a fellow burmese guy here. I just wanted to say thank you for reviewing my country's food and cousines. I rarely see Americans in my country and one time I met a British guy sitting in a park and I saw him and strike up a conversation and talked to him for a bit. And I was really happy to talk to a stranger from another country.
burma is in the middles of those three countries so we have both our authentic dishes plus a fusion of food from all these countries and thank u so much for touching the situation in myanmar, couldnt thank u enough for that, people only knew about ukraine and we are still in the dark, receiving not much support like elsewhere
This is my first time seeing your videos. And I love, love, love your presentation. You’ve got my subscription! I can see your genuine love for our food! I recommend that you try Rice Salad (Htamin thoke), Noodle Salad (Khout Swel thoke), and all kinds of Burmese salads.
Thanks for the nice comments! And yes, htamin thoke is one of my favorites. The nature of a video like this is we have to take a massive idea then edit it down to something workable, so we didn’t get everything in. But we’ll have to cover the topic again!
Tofu nway is Shan people’s delicacy and everyday breakfast. Everyone from Shan state has their own little corner stall for tofu nway and noodles. Tofu nway is originally from yunan province and brought it by Dai people to shan state. Till now most of the stalls in northern shan state still making it the same way like the original region , still using dry green peas ,while the rest of the country uses chickpeas.

Stayed in Myanmar for 1,5 years and I miss literally everything from there. Living in that country was an incredible experience. Food from all regions, landscapes, cultures, and Burmeses and their kindness are the things that make my life there so special and unforgettable
Me too. I miss everything. There for 8 years & loved it. 💙

I can't even describe how much I'm proud of these foods. Like Chef GooGoo said, I also really want those three recipes to be famous all over the world.

I wish the world people could taste them frequently.
Yeah
I’m just an average American living in a culturally diverse city, and I am grateful that it has afforded me the opportunity to experience a wide range of cuisines and cultures. Fermented tea leaf salad is pretty well known here, and it’s incredibly addictive and delicious. You don’t always have to travel to every corner of the world to experience new foods, but you do need to be open minded and willing to try unfamiliar foods and flavors.
As a Burmese living abroad, the video has made my mouth watering. I love all the food that's introduced in the video and I miss them so bad.
Also thank you very much Chef Goo Goo for keeping the Burmese from extinction at a point in future. I truly respect and agree what she doing for the country. I would like to thank OTR Food & History channel as well for letting people know the food history of Myanmar.
As a person from Myanmar, I can say we were never hiding, whether in plain sight or otherwise. We just didn't try too hard to "stand out" like other countries who spend a good deal of money on marketing for tourism and foreign direct investment, etc. Thanks for making this video - you just helped us "stand out" a bit.
“We didn’t try too hard”? You wouldnt make it even if u try. You know why? First you don’t have the right attitude. I know you were talking about thailand mentioning the investment thing. We wouldnt make it if our cuisine were not that great. Second point is hospitality, burmese ppl dont smile and have zero to none service mind. Third, the cleanliness, even from burmese restaurant in the east village of manhattan to the local squat down si kyat down in latha most of the food in myanmar were being prepared in such a not hygienic conditions and almost alway served cold, not because it meant to serve that way but you guys dont even care to heat it up. You know why i know all of this I used to live in yangon and travelled across the country for a few years i know how often Burmeses eat and love thai food so dont pretend like your food didnt make it just because others try harder than you. Thats pathetic. Be proud of urself and next time be a good representation of ur own country. Oh btw most of the well known burmese cuisine were heavily influence by yunnan chinese, thai, and indian for example ong noh khaosoi the word khao means rice in thai and khao soi means noodle so make no mistake about that. Plus u might already know that shan ppl are closely related to thai ppl as they are tai yai ppl. I really appreciate how myanmar workers help us grow economically and i hope myanamr get back to normal asap.
True I am from Myanmar 🇲🇲 too.
And I so glad that other countries like our food.
It's the military government that's suck at promoting culture in my opinion. they only wanna keep their power and suck the country dry.
As a person from Myanmar, I’m so happy that someone finally pay attention to our country’s dishes! I’m glad you loved every each bite!
this isnt the only one who pays attention to our country's dishes lol
@@JoeMAMA-gq3jq I’m confused, I said “someone finally pay attention” but I’m sure there are many people out there who is willing to give our dishes a try!
Thank you, and as a burmese born Australian, who also lived in Bangkok, I have so much respect for this video and its content. I am also married to an European wife and i introduced everyone i know to the forgotten burmese cuisine. Everyone loves all the dishes, especially my wife loves Monhinga and laphet thote. You guys are doing an amazing job. Great videos on the channel. Keep up the great job. It brought so many memories back and tears to my eyes. If there's any way I can help to spread the Forgotten Cuisine, I'm here. Thank you again.
Thank you!
Our first Burmese meal was a week ago here in Chiang Mai and it was exactly the same dishes as yours! And life changing. Such amazing unique flavours. We're off to Bangkok tomorrow so will have to check out some of the places you recommended. Maybe we'll see you around :).
Feel free to shoot a note to our Instagram and if schedules happen to align, can try to catch a meal while you're in town. Will be a busy next few days but at the very least let us know if we can be of any help!
This need to be viral. Your information input and dedication for this video is incredible. Thank you for showing the world about our country. You just got a new subscriber ❤
Thanks so much for the kind words! Really glad you appreciated the video and it was just as much fun for us to make, I promise.
I am Myanmar. Thank you for letting us go to Myanmar. I respect you. Thank you very much
As a Burmese, thank you so much for sharing our cultures. It's been so long since foreigners make a video about our country. It makes me so happy to see this. Thanks a lot! Please come enjoy here again♡
As a *Burmese* , I'm so glad you create this video and put the history behind food. Literally, everything related to Burmese are not recognized because of everything had and have been happening. It's indeed sad.
Such a beautiful video that I watched today. As a Burmese, I do also have same opinion like Ma Phyu or Guu Guu. I love to promote Burmese Foods as they are diverse and unique. We have different kinds of food for different meals as burmese people eat different food for different meals. I mean the food that we eat for each meal is different. For example, in the morning, we have variety of breakfast food such as Monhinga, sticky rice, fried rice and some Indian foods and tea but for lunch, we mostly eat rice and variety of curries. Dinner is also different based on each person's preference. I hope every people have a chance to try the real taste of Myanmar soon.
As a burmese, Im very happy and thankful it's really nice to see that you visit our country and introduced the amazing dishes from our culture❤️
I'm burmese and i'm glad that someone finally talks about our cuisine and thanks alot for your awesome content
A great video to introduce Burmese cuisine to those who are not familiar with. Burmese cuisine has increasingly gain popularity in the US over the last 10 to 15 years, particularly the mohinga fish chowder with rice noodles paired with the ‘bothee kyaw’ and ‘kyethun kyaw’ opo gourd and sliced onion tempura fritters, and the laphet thoke fermented green tea leaf salad. My wife is from Myanmar and I have visited the country four times, and from my wife have learned to cook some Burmese dishes, such as the Burmese curries which were influenced by the Indian bhuna curries. Thanks for posting, and cheers!
Best video of the year!👍Thanks for making this video, i dont see a lot of videos or people interested in Myanmar. I can't wait to go back to Myanmar(Burma) or at least to Thai just to eat all of those delicious food again. Omg i missed using the organic shampoo, those are the best. Missing Home more and more♡
I totally agree when Chef Goo Goo said Myanmar is invisible. Because i haven't met anyone who knew about Burma and always had to explain that Burma is near Thailand, China, India....
Thanks so much!
Malaysian watching from France and enormous thanks for this delicious "documentary". I have always wanted to visit Myanmar and curious about their culinary culture and cultures in general. This video really makes it more tempting to visit Myanmar, hopefully the situation will get better soon 🙏🏻
Most underrated food channel on RUclips. Thank you so much for what you guys do. The history deep dives are amazing and provide so much nuance to the meals you share with us. You guys deserve millions of followers
As a Burmese myself (from the lower part of the country), I have never tried Shan warm tofu. Seeing you enjoying it so much makes me also craves for it. Now I'm officially on a mission to look for the best Shan restaurant in my area.
The world hasn't known how amazing country Myanmar is, but unfortunately I have no idea how long will it take to be stable with the political situation in Myanmar, and Burmese people shouldn't have deserved to suffer in that situation.We have plenty of savoury foods that I haven't even tried all of it as a Burmese. Thank you for showing off our foods. I already subscribed the channel.
unleast that dog who started it all died we are not getting anywere
A million thanks to you and your team for letting the world know our cuisine and what's actually happening in Myanmar. Also, seeing one of my childhood friends' face (the manager of the restaurant) on the screen is the cherry on the cake.
Words fail to describe my gratitude.
Justice must prevail.
That's crazy! What a random coincidence but really cool to hear.
I'm glad you enjoyed our food. Ever since I was a kid, I've always had this question, "Why doesn't the world recognize our cuisines?". I mean I really wanted the world to try the flavors of our land. You just did and made a video about this. I can't thank you enough for this video. Love from Myanmar.
There are more than 130 ethic groups in Myanmar and we obviously have many kinds of food cuisines. Even mohinga has different versions in different areas. I like the Shan cuisine best. Currently craving for some Shan noodles❤
Totally touched ❤and very impressed by your insight for Myanmar through traditional food. I even broke into tears missing home dishes from Shan State while I am thousand miles away.
I am so glad you created this inspiring video with GuGu.
Thank you for trying burmese foods and explaning it in detail ! As a burmese, it feels really great to see someone trying our underated foods and explaining forgotten history.
I had my first ever Burmese meal (a take on the coconut chicken noodles) in a meal delivery box in the UK called gousto, and I can't stop thinking about it ever since. I've since booked to go to a Burmese restaurant in London called Lahpet (the only one I can find) and ordered the "Burma superstar" cookbook. Would love to try more.
I've heard of that place in London- I think it's one of the restaurants where Goo Goo did an event.
you can also buy some burmese ready to eat stuffs from NST foods website
When the lady said that we are invisible,i felt that. It is sad to explain where u r from to ur foreign friends who have literally no idea what myanmar is. Thank you for introducing myanmar cuisine and sharing to the world.
FR no one rlly knows about myanmar theyknow us as burma but still try asking your online foreign friend " do u know the country myanmar " i am sure 95% would say "no"
@@Ess_Estellelike 99% bro.
fr@@saimyintmyat9373
Seeing him having the foodgasms of his life makes me so grateful of life.
You did an amazing job on showcasing not just the food, history and culture of our country. I’m amazed how organised and educational your video is about Myanmar 🇲🇲. Thank you for that great video ❤
The heart-warming and such a mind blowing video. The way the script goes, the way you edit, the way you explain, all is so Burmese for me. Thanks a ton for this video and Myanmar indeed is full of golden cuisine.
Thanks✨
As a Myanmar, I am very thankful for you for trying Myanmar food, and sharing your experience. You put a lot of details in this video, and I can't thank you enough.
This brought me back to my 2 weeks in Myanmar in 2015. What a lovely people, and delicious food almost everywhere! Whenever I am in Chiang Mai bi always make it a point to also eat as much Burmese food as possible. Thanks for the video!
Big respect to this lady, she deserves more recognition. And of course, thank you to OTR Food & History for making this video as well
Thank you very much from bottom of my heart! I am watching from Canada. I feel both sadness and joy for my country. I want to say thank you again for showing the world about our country ❤
Glad that it meant something. Makes me feel good to know that we did our jobs.
Thank you for your effort in introducing our food to the world. Burma has range and variety of food yet unknown to many. I haven't been back to my country half of my life and your video bring me back the time I was in Burma.
I'm a Burmese student from Myanmar. I appreciate your video creation and thank you for showing our traditional cuisine in your video. As a myanmar people, I would like everyone to know what's happening in myanmar and myanmar people's difficulties. Now you showed this. Thank you so much and do more such good videos.Have a good day.
Just finished watching this video and subscribed because I didn't expect you would do it in a proper way like that! Brilliantly created with a brief history about Myanmar considering you had just 48 hours to try Burmese food. Great work!
Myanmar is a country full of traditional cultures and foods. However, Myanmar's politics is complicated. Some of Asian cultures of Vietnam and Thailand even came from Myanmar. Appreciate everything that encourages our country's informations. Just looking makes me hungry.
I love making interesting connection but the fact that Myanmar being surrounded by big 3 of cuisines but we don't hear much from them is very nice find, it never crossed my mind despite them being my neighbor country, good job.
Also i live in Bangkok and Burmese food is still hard to find, at least in my experience.
Thanks for the response and yes, I completely agree, we had so much obscure food in Bangkok before the first time we found Burmese!
I spent 2 months travelling around Thailand last year and my favourite meal of those 2 months was in a Burmese restaurant in Chiang Rai! All the Burmese food was incredible
I'm very fortunate that both of the places where I most recently lived have been within walking distance of Burmese restaurants. Their cuisine is truly a hidden gem, blends the heartiness of Chinese cuisine with the spices of South and Southeast Asian cuisines.
Kop Khun Mak for your vlog. I had subscribed but hadn't paid that much attention until The Roaming Cook gave all his subscribers a little nudge. I love the way you introduce the cuisines and also add the history which most people are either not aware of, or they shy away from for various reasons. I'll be paying more attention from here on in. Food is life, food is love.
much appreciated and glad to hear the feedback. Agreed with your last sentence for sure.
This is emotional.. thank you so much for highlighting this country and its cuisine.. Myanmar (Burma) is such a special place!
Love how your representing a lot of dishes from my culture in a positive light
Just animate Burmese camping here in the comment section and I’m sincerely delighted to see your video! It was really high-quality and I do hope that the world would know more about our culture, rather than as a politically unstable country. It’s really sad like Goo mentioned, I do feel invisible among the international community 🥺
As a Burmese seeing this made my day, our culture is always overshadowed and hidden. Glad you enjoyed our cuisine ♡´･ᴗ･`♡
I am from myanmar and I feel happy that you are eating for my country and I just want to say thank you so much❤
i tried myanmar food recently in bangkok, 3 different places , wow, its opened another door for me, its soooooo good, the texure , flavor, broth , the taste is so sophisticated , i cant not believe i didnt know it at all before !!! i will absolutely try more restaurants . thank you for your recommendations
Thank you so much for standing with Myanmar's citizen and our culture's food. And again, thank you for saying the history of ours.
Just returned from Bangkok last month and didn’t know about these places. Hoping to have more Burmese restaurant that serves traditional dishes in the DMV area. Thank you spreading awareness and Burmese cuisine.
Heart warming and mouth watering ❤I am watching from Japan 🇯🇵. Love the way you present my country's history and culture through cuisine. Miss miss miss inside of Myanmar 🇲🇲 ❤
As someone that was lucky to be born into a family full of Burmese culture, I truly respect and thank you for sharing Burmese food to your audience. I truly hope to see the day where Burmese restaurants and cuisine is well known throughout the world. Great work you're doing in this world. 🤝❤
You explained the history pretty well, better than most videos out there👍
The best story telling .. very nice you explored burmese food while speaking up for Myanmar people
I like the content and am glad to see someone interested in Myanmar food. In Myanmar, fermented Chinese cabbage is meant for Warm Tofu which is a common side dish in most Shan food. Moke Hnin Ngar normally eats with roasted chili powder, lime juice, and coriander.
One of the best Burmese food introductory videos. It really makes me want to go back home. Keep up the good work.
Very well documented video. My girlfriend is from Myanmar(mon state) and works in BKK.. I'll be visiting for 2 weeks in April and will definitely have to try some Burmese food!
That's awesome. One day we'd love to do a Mon video- it'll require some travel but there's SO much history in Mon food...khanom jeen and khao chae as a couple examples
As a Burmese living abroad, your video made me to miss my home country Burma. Thank you so much for your video. I’m currently in UAE and there are few Burmese restaurants in Dubai anyhow comparing with other SEA restaurants, almost no one knows Burmese food. Thai and kabayan are really popular here. Whenever I try to explain what Burmese foods look like, I’m answered that it is like Chinese food. This is the most emotional part for me 😅. However this video can help me to explain how tasty and unique our Burmese food is.
This channel was pushed to me by the algorithm...but all it took was one video and I'm a subscriber. Fantastic work.
I'm from myanmar and I want to say thank you so much.Myanmar has tranditional foods and they are so delicious.
This is so excellent! I feel I have learned so much about both the country and its food.
thank you!
As a Burmese child form a noodle factory, it is so good to see our noodles in you’re video.
Plus my Burmese name is Lin thet soe
I'm burmese living abroad for 10+ years. This video made me cry. Thank you for researching so thoroughly and loving our food.
Thanks for this video. This channel has become my go to when looking for recommendations while planning a trip
I watched and I subscribed. Not because it is about Myanmar foods, just because Chefs told the truths about foods they had tried. Anyway, there are a lot to try because there are eight major ethnic groups in Myanmar. Each has its own culture, language and foods. So, I hope you can try and enjoy those foods some days. Anyway, thanks for your brilliant vlogs.
im in tears watching this.. thank you so much for noticing our country... im a high schooler, have been revolutionizing the military dictatorship by not going to school.. ppl have no idea how people in myanmar suffering... i hope all youths, adults all the people in myanmar have a brighter future ASAP. thank you universe for speaking out man ,thank you... , and ofc sooner in future come visit us and just tell ur name, i can buy you most unique and delicious foods!! btw, most of the foods you tried are my fav dishes
Amazing, and I hope one day to be able to take you (and everyone else who has kindly offered) up on the invitation. Thanks so much for the nice words.
@@OTRontheroad again, thank you so much! I'm your big fan now🥰 I mean it, we will remember you and will offer you free foods!💗
+ I'm sorry if my words are too informal, just want to thank you 🥺💗
We have an amazing Burmese restaurant here in New Zealand..it's incredible..these are my 2 favourite dishes..also a chef!! Really enjoying your south east Asia series
Watching you and my fellow Myanmar cherishing such rare Shan/Burmese ethic food… got me tear up ❤️🩹
Thank you… I’ve been away from the country for more than a decade.. I dream of the day when I can get all my authentic favorite Burmese/Shan/Yakhine food all in one spot.. in California
And your “where have I been all this time?!” reaction is quite accurate haha
Looks like bro is ran away from his country
@@damnbroyoustinks9411 nuh. People drew up imaginary boarders that aren’t geographically valid.. for the egotistical philosophies & dictatorships.
Besides, nobody wants to live in hell:) If everyone was given a chance, they all would leave. Don’t be jealous and grow some good heart
@@damnbroyoustinks9411 only the ones that are guilty, bullied or threatened .. run. And some make real important changes in the world. Some people migrate for better lives.
I didn’t run. I left. So that I can help the needy and my own family. What’s your bitter story, big guy. So loud on the internet aren’t you. Hope your parents are proud of you like mine are:)
Thanks so much for the response. We've had a few responses from parts of the US where there seems to be a growing Burmese community...maybe mostly on the East Coast though. Let us know if you find anything in CA
@@OTRontheroad Daly City & Union City, CA has a large Burmese community. Burmese restaurants are scattered all over the state but hard to find the authentic ethnic dishes. I usually had to cook for myself. Los Angeles has some good restaurants too. It would absolutely be wonderful if we can have a Little-Myanmar in the SF Bay Area. We shall see!
And thank you for responding and also for genuinely caring about our culture and food. You’re really awesome.
What a trip thru previously unknown foods, that looked amazing. You guys have outdone yourselves again.
Thanks Marty! Unknown only to us- incredible stuff with a rich history, it's a shame it's not more well known.
Thanks for your Myanmar’s culinary tour in Thailand. Your video is amazing and I almost get my tears out. Miss my country, family, relatives and all those lovely cuisines. We are counting the days to go back home safely and peacefully.
Last year we migrated to Australia. Thank you so much for making such heartwarming content
Almost 15 years ago the first place I lived on my own was Gaithersburg, Maryland. There was a burmese restaurant there and I very clearly remember the pickled tea leaf salad. I ate it as often as I could which to be fair wasn't often because I was broke. I don't think I've seen a burmese restaurant in the US since but I have always wanted to learn more about it.
Love this! Just found out about you from Gary Butler's channel. + Just saw him eating fermented tea salad in his latest, just before seeing yours! Can't wait to go through your back log. Plenty of great "Thai Yai" (Myanmar) cuisine places in Chiang Mai. Look around the north of the moat. Goo-Goo is a hero(in)! + we can now see where "Khao Soi" really comes from!
Cheers Don and appreciate the message! Gary's one of our favorites and so glad to hear you found us. I really need to get back to Chiang Mai...there's so much great stuff right in front of you (khao soi, khanom jeen...) that it's hard in a 3- or 4-day trip to really dive in to the outskirts of town and see everything the area has to offer. I need to get back up there, it's been too long.
Did you mean 'Thai Yai' from Myanmar? I want to correct that one as 'Tai'(Shan).But it kinda depend on speaking tone different.BTW 'Khao' mean 'Rice' and 'Soi' mean 'Slice' by translate by our language!
Burmese and Thai-yai Khoasoi version is a different from Thai version my friend a lot of people believed that this Thai food was created while got the influenced from the "Ho" people from chinese since the ancient time, in the past Thai people called this food "Kuay-teaw-Ho" which means noodle "Ho" style but nowadays Thai people called "Khaosoi"(wikipedia).
Thanks for promoting Buemese food. Very proud for Coo Coo. Keep up your excellent work. Well done.
Knowledge and joy like this is what preserves humanity. Though I have lived in both India and Japan and traveled through SE Asia, my own heart language of food will always be middle-class US Midwest where I grew up. Thank you for helping show how food is central to our identities, yet also our greatest ambassador.
EDIT: I want to go to Mynamar sooooo bad. But at least I know another place to try the food!
Make this a series! Myanmar Cuisine: Episode 2 please! 🙏
There will definitely be a follow up!
let's goooooo
Burmese are finally getting recognised
btw you deserve more attention and subs
edit:
yoooo
you guys have never eaten lapat-toat? (don't know how to spell it in eng)
that's crazyyyy
Haha right?
I'm not Burmese, just a guy hailing from city of Johor Bahru ( Malaysia) across neighbouring Singapore... Would have love to visit Yangon a couple of years ago... but then we knew what events happened since then..... There's a place in Singapore.... known as Peninsular Plaza ( dubbed Little Myanmar ) ..where there are many shops, restaurants and most businesses run by people from Myanmar..... I have tried the food before.... Mohinga, and as a foodie... I have to admit.... Food from Myanmar or Cambodia... which i have tried as well.. A little bit under the radar....Thanks for creating this vlog..... Glad I came across this .... Keep up the good work mate!!
Speaking of under the radar, Johor Baru doesn’t get any respect, and it’s a great place for food! Been there before and enjoyed it.
Yo dude, a fellow burmese guy here. I just wanted to say thank you for reviewing my country's food and cousines. I rarely see Americans in my country and one time I met a British guy sitting in a park and I saw him and strike up a conversation and talked to him for a bit. And I was really happy to talk to a stranger from another country.
burma is in the middles of those three countries so we have both our authentic dishes plus a fusion of food from all these countries and thank u so much for touching the situation in myanmar, couldnt thank u enough for that, people only knew about ukraine and we are still in the dark, receiving not much support like elsewhere
Thanks for the message!
Not to mention even uncle Roger doesn't know about Our foods too or how to even cook properly.
Thank you so much for sharing this and loving our traditional dishes!!!
Thanks and our pleasure!
I'm from Myanmar.
There's no word to show my thanks for this exquisite video. Thanks indeed.
I'm from Myanmar and I'm glad that someone recognizes our country for its food. Lapat thout is also my favourite dish in Myanmar.
This is my first time seeing your videos. And I love, love, love your presentation. You’ve got my subscription! I can see your genuine love for our food! I recommend that you try Rice Salad (Htamin thoke), Noodle Salad (Khout Swel thoke), and all kinds of Burmese salads.
Thanks for the nice comments! And yes, htamin thoke is one of my favorites. The nature of a video like this is we have to take a massive idea then edit it down to something workable, so we didn’t get everything in. But we’ll have to cover the topic again!
Tofu nway is Shan people’s delicacy and everyday breakfast. Everyone from Shan state has their own little corner stall for tofu nway and noodles. Tofu nway is originally from yunan province and brought it by Dai people to shan state. Till now most of the stalls in northern shan state still making it the same way like the original region , still using dry green peas ,while the rest of the country uses chickpeas.
Oh a small correction; Dai people are also Shan people. Shan people call themselves Tai and Dai is a chinese corruption of the word.
Fantastic video. Thanks for highlighting Burmese food! So delicious!
im very happy my country's food is interviewed by a youtuber ကျေးဇူးပါ
Love From Myanmar 🇲🇲
Thank you 😊😊
Thank you so much for endorsing our culture !
I’m so glad you watched and enjoyed it!
I am from 🇲🇲Myanmar and our country is more than wars.Our country is a place full of beautiful places and amazing foods. Thanks for posting this video for myanmar food.
