Burmese Noodles: Khodaong Mohntee & Nunjee Khao Swè

Breakfast at a busy traditional noodle stall near the central market Zegyo in Mandalay, Myanmar. Vendors of this style of rice noodle salad with only fish and dried shrimp, instead of the usual chicken, come from Khodaong Village across the Ayeyarwady by boat, and most are still street-hawkers carrying their popular but humble fare in basket-trays balanced on the head. Our meal, for a party of four plus two "parcels", was paid for by a friend of one of us we bumped in to, one with the bling on her arm.

What is that burmese noodle salad that has 12 ingredients and is served cold or room temperature? Do you have a video of that?

[meemalee3]

Yes, it's in my video called "Burmese Salads". It's called let-thok sohn (hand-tossed salad).

amazing color and contrasts! loved it -- and the bling, too! not too happy, however, about unsanitary conditions, such as food and money handled together. i know it's laughable, but i also know how sick i've gotten from eating street fare! thanks for posting this, a wonderful window onto the start of a lovely day. i'll check your other vids...

Wow, what a charming experience. I would luv to have a noodle meal on the streets from a vendor like this. It looks so yummy! num num num haha ;p

Do you know the difference between Burmese cuisine and that of the Khmer or Cambodian people? It does look remarkably similar...but I'm probably wrong and missing the subtleties.

[humsuploh]

Burmese food may indeed be one of the best around but sadly not many people outside of Burma have got a chance to savour it. Although in my case, I'm a little luckier as there is a thriving Burmese community in Singapore. Still that ain't no good enough, I have to get into Burma one of these days. Just hope that the visa process won't be a problem though.

burmese food is the most underrated of south east asian cuisines people dont know what theyre missing!

[thw034y]

these burmese people are honest and serene contrast to wicked government

[Xacque]

[Xacque]
