A Taste of Yangon, Burma (Myanmar) - Burmese Street Food Video

[TigressforHukawng]

I am drooling! Drooling in my eyes too! Miss my homeland and food from the bottom of my heart!!! Love you, dude! Superb! Thanks! May I know those song titles.

Does anybody have any idea about songs in this clip? Is the first one by Saung Oo Hlaing? I don't have any idea about those song titles! Please help me. Thanks again!

[losluvr]

Stunning place...the way the counties food that you visit seem to blend from one to another is very interesting lots of similarities and differences between Thai and Laos cusine. Another country on my list...is it a simple stamp and over the border from Thailand or a seperate application for a visa ?

[wahnayhtoo]

u eat too much

[migrationology]

@wahnayhtoo Not too much - just the right amount!

[runawayjjuno]

Gotta go to Burma soon.

[migrationology]

@runawayjjuno Yes, hope you get to go Juno!

[coolbud1]

get some coffee.

[migrationology]

@coolbud1 Good stuff!

[rainbowheart224]

OMG Mohinga!!! My favorite! :))

[kayahlimeh01]

hey I think you better travel to THAILAND it a great food and country, also people too

[migrationology]

@kayahlimeh01 Yes, I've also lived in Thailand for a while now, but I haven't made a good video yet. I hope to make one soon!

[sugreev2001]

Is the militia (Junta) really intrusive,or you can travel around Burma just like any other country ?

[migrationology]

@sugreev2001 Not really sure of the current situation, but when I was in Yangon I walked all over the place without any problems. Had an amazing time!

[veryinna]

uhmmm! so delicious it looks:)

[migrationology]

@veryinna Thanks!

[garretsanchez]

I was just in Burma and love the country,culture and especially the people. Tried some of the street food but unfortunately my travel companions were paranoid about getting sick. I never did, and they missed out on an integral part of true travel.

[migrationology]

@garretsanchez Thanks for sharing... The street food in Burma is such a great way to meet locals and taste of the best food. Glad to hear you enjoyed it!

[ichtyos8]

Fish you ate is tilapia i think

[migrationology]

@ichtyos8 Thanks!

[schchen2000]

It seemed like you were having the best food of your life just by the look on your face @ 1:02. I'm from Burma as well but I've been in the States for a while and I start to miss all Burmese food by looking at you eat.

[migrationology]

@schchen2000 I sure did have some of the best food of my life - I love eating in Burma! Hope you get some good Burmese food in the States too!

[joel9967]

Moe hay gaa is my fovarite!! Nice video! U've done a good job! ooo..i miss myanmar...!!!

[migrationology]

@joel9967 Thanks for watching!

[buboojenny]

this is making me hungry!! n enjoyed u trying to pronounce words :P

who did the background music for u?

[migrationology]

@buboojenny Thanks, the name of the song is moe thae htae

[buboojenny]

what nationality are u ?

[schchen2000]

@buboojenny His accent sounds American as far as I can tell.

[migrationology]

@buboojenny Hey, I'm American but... 1/2 Chinese 1/2 German. Thanks for watching!

[Jenzo1990]

@hoohoohooful it's je zu tin Ba deh when it is spoken but when it isn't spoken and you type in burglish for someone to understand that you can speak Burmese but can't use Myanmar font then in burglish you type it like Ke zu tin par Tal. I know it's like that because I'm studying Burmese.

[Jenzo1990]

@migrationology my uncle is Burmese and he has been promising to take me to Yangon since I was 14. I'm really eager to go to Yangon and experience culture and food aswell as seeing my friends, my bf, my uncles family and using my language skills. Thanks for the video it really helps out a lot. :)

[rockerlay]

OMG. Shwedagon charge $5. We always go there for freeeeeeeee.

[schchen2000]

@rockerlay Foreigners pay but locals don't.

[migrationology]

@rockerlay Yah!

[kuroromoto]

I'm literally drooling!! god~ I miss Yangon

:*-

[migrationology]

@kuroromoto Haha!

[TheChanchen]

The song has nothing to do with the content of this video lol. They are singing about a break up under heavy rain or something. Nice video though.

[migrationology]

@TheChanchen Haha, thanks for sharing!

[oozey262]

[migrationology]

@MyoHanHtunChannel Haha, Thanks!

[sawsoethu]

[migrationology]

@sawsoethu I really love Burmese food - so delicious!

[amtun85]

[fatelove100]

[yazadarit]

You're not afraid to try all the food. The real taste of burmese food. nice one!

[migrationology]

@yazadarit Thanks! I love to eat, and Burmese food was great!

[cindyyzk]

[cindyyzk]

Thank you for posing the video. And thank you for loving our Burma. You've been tasted almost all kinds of my favorite foods. I like MonHinHka the most.

[migrationology]

@cindyyzk No problem, I had an incredible time in your country. Thanks for watching this video!

[bobocydis]

good for you man. i think its better to explore on your own rather than having someone show you around. nothing beats the adventure!

[migrationology]

@bobocydis Definitely agree with you! Thanks!

[TrillionariePPS]

Next time, when u visit .. let me noe.. I can bring u to a lot better places for FOOD .. All rite.. Stay tune.. :P those food that u tried are available at better places as in cleanness .. Good to see more foreigners are allowed to visit now.. U should also mention Burmese are super FRIENDLY people

[migrationology]

@TrillionariePPS Thanks a lot! I would love to return to try some more food in Burma, I'll let you know. Take care!

[science01010]

Are you burmese?

[migrationology]

@science01010 Nope, 1/2 Chinese

[science01010]

@migrationology

Thank you for the answer. You are European Chinese.

[burmesemonster]

Mutton testicles is famous in some southeast asian countries. People believe that it can boost the male sexual power. :)

[migrationology]

@burmesemonster Awesome!

[Malconomics]

Hey man I watched your videos and you did a great job! I'm going back in FEB 2012, I haven't been there since I was born in Rangoon in 1979. came to Australia in 1980. The country seems so foreign to me yet still has a sense of home. I hope to a similar doco like you did and post it on you tube. thanks for the inspiration!

[migrationology]

@Malconomics Great to hear that! I wish you all the best for your trip back and let me know when you post a vid too - that will be great!

[lanlaymt]

Thx for the video. I miss the street food and it is really nice to see inside the city without censor.

[migrationology]

@lanlaymt No problem, glad you enjoyed it!

[xelfeyesx]

Really cool video haha made me miss home like crazy :) Did you have suggestion of food that people told you to try or were you just trying random interesting things on the street?

[migrationology]

@xelfeyesx Thanks for watching! Actually I had read about mohinga before visiting, and I know a bit about Indian food (dosa and thali), but other than that I just explored!

[aungkoko89]

We're just eating clove of garlic like a candy here. LOL 

[hillymilly15]

as you are a foreigner, i am surprised that your stomach didn't get upset from all those spicy and relatively unhygienic food. but good job, i like most of the food you ate as well. :)

[migrationology]

@hillymilly15 Thanks a lot for watching! Yah, I eat a lot of street food, and I grew up mostly in Africa, so my stomach is more used to spicy and street food style meals!

[TheChoasking90]

Love your video man... just that I wonder where are you from? You look like Asian... :)

[migrationology]

@TheChoasking90 Thanks a lot for watching! I'm 1/2 Chinese.

[razorstl004]

[MrAchilles3]

Thz for sharing .. .. :)

[migrationology]

@MrAchilles3 No problem, glad you liked it!

[minnwaiyan]

[migrationology]

@minnwaiyan I hope I can visit again, I had an awesome time!

[mydaydream89]

I couldn't thank you anymore for this video! Very well done, dude!

[migrationology]

@mydaydream89 I really appreciate it! Thanks for watching!

[WWA1311]

Dude.. did u really enjoy them? cuz most tourists don't really enjoy real Burmese food and some have stomach pain after eating them... ;)

[migrationology]

@WWA1311 I honestly loved it - and I didn't have any stomach problems while in Burma...! I grew up in Africa eating a lot of street food, so my stomach is probably better accustomed than a lot of other foreigners...

[whitelilymay]

you could pass for an actual Burmese! :)

[popokoko333]

Beautiful video and foods look yummy :)

[LUCIFERFLAME]

All my Fav Foods except for Mutton testicles, hahaha.

[migrationology]

@TheCrazydionne Hey, thanks a lot for checking it out. No, just made this video all by myself after spending a few weeks in Yangon. On the street I just asked a seller for Burmese music - and this is what he gave me. I then just picked a song that fit! Thanks again!

[shweminthamee]

Watchout ! you could get diarrhoea by eating street food. I did , everytime I eat.

[chansanaung1]

I love that song

[princesseklauss]

he is very handsome and have a very sweet smile LOL

[hoohoohooful]

jinsuutinbadae:)

[migrationology]

@hoohoohooful Thanks!!!

[banfielddavid]

Hi Mark. Brilliant clip. Also agree with Koyin above that you obviously have the right attitude and respect for the culture you are being introduced to. My wife and I are going to Myanmar in 2 weeks. I amd staying for 3 weeks. She is staying for 2 years! She has eaten dancing shrimp in Thailand. I see you have a clip of a similar dish in Myanmar. She is interested in knowing where you had the fried fish. She will be teaching in Yangon. Thanks once again.

[migrationology]

@banfielddavid Hi David, Thanks so much for watching the video!

That's awesome that you are taking a trip to Myanmar soon, I really enjoyed my time. Wow - 2 years, that's going to be an incredible experience. The big fish I ate was on one of the main streets in Chinatown, not sure exactly what street, but you'll see the fish from the main road. From that street you walk about 50 meters down the road to the restaurant I ate at. Awesome fish!

[makeupbyshu]

Now I miss going back to Myanmar -.- Did you get a chance to travel outside of Yangon and travel up to North?!? If you haven't you should! Is beautiful up there! I grew up in Yangon and this brought me back so much memories, thank you for this wonderful video =]

[migrationology]

@makeupbyshu I haven't had a chance to visit more than just Yangon. I would love to return someday and travel further. Glad you enjoyed the video!

[ekarilin]

I like tofu salad ;( I miss it too much... I miss mohinga too ;(

[sunwewai]

shoot. I miss all that food you ate in the video :( i am away from Yangon for 2 years :(

[ryorininyu]

u r really an amazing guy. U can eat it all. ha ha ha..cute

[digitalNinja5]

dude, thats awesome, and jealous of you for eating all kind of things :(

[digitalNinja5]

dude, thats awesome,

[burmacafe]

$0.57 for Mohingar? That's cheap And, it looks tasty. Grilled fish looks awlsome too.

[Postmoderna76]

That was a really great little clip! We don't have good mohinga here in NYC or ginger salad, (forget authentic chickpea and tumeric flavored tofu salad) since there's only one Burmese restaurant, and unless you have a Burmese mom in your pantry, it's such a process to make even the condiment toppings.Thanks for this. This just reminded me I need to visit Burma eventually and that I'm missing out on all that lovely everyday food. I hope you got to try tea leaf salad.

[koyin99]

hey Mark...this is great clip and indeed enjoy watching this over and over,of course like your attitude towards different culture and country.What's your back ground btw,i mean your ethnicity if you don't mind answering? coz u look exactly like our people....:)....thanks again for great video.....well done bro!....

[migrationology]

@koyin99 Thanks so much, that's great to hear! I'm American but of 1/2 Chinese decent and 1/2 Caucasian.

[kyaw888]

Thanks for sharing with your beautiful video.

[migrationology]

@kyaw888 No problem, glad you enjoyed it!

[nanpya71]

thanks for sharing, it is beautiful video and next time you go should try keema paratha which contains mince goat meat,cabbage,onions,hot peper in a rap and fried the exterior of the rap, delicious,. just the suggestion, and thanks for sharing the video and remind me of the warmth of the burmese people. peace

[migrationology]

@nanpya71 Wow, that sounds delicious. I didn't know about when I was there, so next time I will be sure to sample that too! Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching my video!

[minthagyi]

How's your stomach after eating all that food?:)) over done it?overcome it with Mylanta. hahaha knowing what Burmese food can do ,you'd probably have some funny stories to share with ..anyway, have you tried any snacks yet?If you are still in Burma also try the desserts and some snacks and if possible shoot a vid and share with us who are missing home a lot.

Tried pork on a stick? People would believe that we are brothers if they saw us for you look like my bro,you look like one of us really!!

[minthagyi]

yeh dude,it's a good vid to watch it over and over again..also like the music you used in the vid. I hope you enjoy your rest of stay in Burma also all the best on your travel.

God Bless!

[migrationology]

@minthagyi No, no problem with my stomach, I do a lot of travel, and I grew up in Africa, so my stomach is used to all kinds of different foods. I don't have too much more video, but I will be releasing all kinds of pictures and stories from Burma on my website travel blog at migrationology(dot)com

Thank so much!

[foreverhobbes]

Even the sheep testicle?

[migrationology]

@foreverhobbes Little bit fatty, but not bad!

[minthagyi]

Dude,you said everything was very good.was all really good or you're just being nice?

Thanks for uploading this vid man..made me miss home a lot,a lot..it's been 10 long years....

[migrationology]

@minthagyi No problem, I really did like everything I tasted! I'm a huge fan of all food and I really like diverse cuisine. Thanks for watching!

[foreverhobbes]

It's ok, you don't have to like everything. :)

[migrationology]

@foreverhobbes Hehe, I know, but it was all so delicious!

[Thurariya]

Sooo hungry watching you. Thanks for the video. Making me home sick!

[migrationology]

@Thurariya You are welcome - Thanks for watching. I'm sure you are a great cook of Burmese food!!!

[BangkapiBoy]

I love this video on Myanmar street food. Love it. I want to eat it all.

[migrationology]

@BangkapiBoy Yah, it was so good! I especially loved that BBQ street in Chinatown with that fish!

[aung104]

dude! thanks for sharing. I just can't wait to get there in April.;)

[migrationology]

@aung104 Great, you will have an awesome time!
