Burmese Cuisine: Authentic Restaurant in Bangkok, Thailand

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
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 Sw 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

myomyintaung Hey, thanks for watching. If you click that link below the video you'll get to an article plus a map about the same restaurant. This restaurant is located within Phra Khanong market, not address and not on the street but within the clothing section. Go down Pridi Banomyong street and make a right into the market, weave through the clothes and you should see this. Sorry it doesn't have a real address location. Hope you can find it

Hello love the videos, makes me freaking hungry. Anywho I'm going to thailand next month and am concerned about order at hole in the wall restaurants, will i be able to communicate with pointing at menus and gesturring or will i need to know what im ordering before i walk in there? Also I'm concerned about the spiciness, I like my food a bit milder, will they give me a choice or do i get what i get? Thanks in advance

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: )

Tofu salad is my favourite the sauce that she wanted to explain is plum sugar sauce. Thanks for all the clips that you share with us. really miss my hometown. And I just want introduce you with a small town in thailand called Mae Hong Son, if you are visiting thailand again pls go that place. you will find many shan ethnic foods of burma in the market. cheers: )

hey. thanks for sharing that. very nice of you. I like fried yellow tofu. It is different from chinese tofu which is usually white color. Burmese tofu is made from yellow bean powder also called dhal in India. And the dry noodle (kao swe) is nice too. Usually mix it with some kind of sweet soy source which look like vinega but actually not.

migrationology It's coconut chicken noodle soup. You can either eat with wheat noodle or flat rice noodle. My mum loves it with flat rice noodle. There is another version that you eat with flat egg noodle with (or just) crispy noodle. That's called Shwe Taung Khao Swe'. I still prefer Ohn-no Khao Swe'.

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.

A lot of vegan/vegetarian options? Like what? There's fish sauce in like 95% of Thai food and shrimp paste or dried shrimp in a lot of it too. Or are you talking about international cuisines present in Thailand.

Point to be noted, there are lots of Nepalese speaker around India, Bhutan, Sri lanka, Bangladesh, Burma and Fiji as well. Most of their forefathers were from Nepal, believed to be migrated during WW1.

Sweet sauce she mentioned in 'Tohu Toke' made from thet nyet in Burmese'; it is palm sugar. Tohu is burmese version Tofu made from yellow pea (rather East Asian version from soybean.
