Burmese Cuisine: Authentic Restaurant in Bangkok, Thailand

Click here for more info on Burmese Street Food - http://migrationology.com/2012/01/burmese-street-food-in-bangkok-with-a-touch... !!!

Burmese cuisine is simply delicious - an intricate blend of tastes and dishes influenced in part by Indian and Chinese cuisine, but uniquely and traditionally Burmese.

When I was in Yangon, I was able to sample quite a few amazing tasting foods including rice and curry, seafood, and a lot delicious mixed salads.

When I stumbled into this Myanmar community in Bangkok's Phra Khanong district, I knew I was in for some more authentic and delicious Burmese cuisine!

Mona is the owner and chef of this little hole in the wall Burmese restaurant in Bangkok, and she cooks up some flavors of Burma that are out of control good! As you can tell from the video, the owner is not only an outstanding Burmese food cook, but she also has an enthusiastic and friendly personality.

The first dish we ordered was Laphet Thohk, a famous Burmese green tea leaf salad. It was excellent - a lovely array of pickled tea leaves, fried chickpeas and lots of fresh chillies and garlic.

We then ordered Tohpu Thohk, a Burmese tofu salad made with daal lentils. It was dressed in a sweet soy sauce like dressing and topped with a few fragrant herbs.

Although Mona does serve Burmese mohinga noodle soup, we opted for the dry noodles called Khao Swè Thohk. It showed up in all its glory, a bowl full of rice noodles covered in chicken and herbs and dressed with a little chili oil sauce.

Burmese cuisine and all their dishes are delicious!

I can't believe they have burmese food in Thailand. I feel so stupid to cancel my trip to Thailand :(

@borlikesutube Yes, lots of Burmese food in Thailand - you shouldn't cancel your trip!

The last one(khao swe thohk) is noodle salad(Khao swe= noodle and thohk=salad). And the sour veggies is not cabbage;it's fermented green mustard. lol

@dsc1970 Thanks for checking out my channel, I appreciate it! Yah, I think I remember eating a sour fish curry while I was in Burma as well - really good, but I'm sure they have quite a few different kinds. Thanks again for watching my videos!

Just discovered your sites & Youtube channel today, Mark, and I'm enjoying them immensely. Keep up the good work.

I'd like to explore more Burmese food. The only Burmese dish that I've had for sure was a sour fish curry on a tour to the Golden Triangle area of Thailand when I was in Chiang Mai. One of the best dishes I've ever had.

@amymyatlay Great, I appreciate all this extra information - thanks for sharing. Could be that she switched up some of the dishes in Thailand - I believe she is also Burmese and Nepalese... not fully sure though.

@AndrewSmith00000007 Cool, thanks for all this extra input Andrew - great to know. Yes, now that you say that, I do remember eating that sweet soy sauce in Indonesia a lot!

1st is Let Phat Tote , i might be wrong but i believe that 2nd dish is called Shan Tofu Salad ( shan tofu is very gentle and softer than regular tofu tote, it has different style n taste ) 3rd is called Nenn Pyar Tote (Flat Egg Noodle Salad) we don't put meat n egg on Khout Swal Tote n we don't use pickled mustard with Nenn Pyar Tote or Khout Swal Tote may be Burmese-Thai Style :)
