Folk Heritage Museum Restaurant serves some of the best Bhutanese food youll ever eat. : If theres one Bhutanese food restaurant you have to eat at when youre in Bhutan its the Folk Heritage Museum Restaurant. This was probably the best Bhutanese food meal that I had in all of Bhutan. The food and the knowledge of Bhutanese culture was amazing. Folk Heritage Museum Restaurant - They also have a museum, but the best reason to come here is for their restaurant. They aim to really preserve traditional Bhutan culture and food. Even though I had been in Bhutan for almost two weeks already, I tried some very unique Bhutanese dishes at Folk Heritage Museum Restaurant and also got a lesson on how to eat traditional Bhutanese food. This is one of the worlds greatest Bhutanese restaurants and preservations of Bhutanese culture in Thimphu. Here are some of the main Bhutanese dishes we ate: Suja - herbal butter tea Sweet buckwheat Bitter buckwheat noodles Dried fiddlehead ferns Roasted barley dough Bamboo shoots and fermented beans Dried beef with fermented yak cheese Sikam paa - dried pork with chilies Chanterelle mushrooms Ema datshi - chillies and cheese Bhutanese chicken curry Kewa datshi - potatoes and cheese After our huge Bhutanese food lunch we had some Indian food with Matt including some momos and paratha for dinner. It was a great day of food in Thimphu, Bhutan Disclosure: It was an honor to be invited by MyBhutan to visit Bhutan to explore Bhutanese food and culture.

hi Mark, I was watching your videos and came across this Bhutan cuisine video. Is this woman really a Bhutanese or Mainland Chinese pretending to be a Bhutanese? She is telling you a full of BS. Bhutan was once a poor kingdom next to Mainland China. where a large population of people were literary starving to death for they did not know how to grow food in cold climate. So, the Bhutanese king asked Japanese government for a help. Mr. Keiji Nishioka (14 Feb 1933 21 March 1992) was sent to Bhutan to teach how to grow food in the cold climate like Bhutan. However, when Keiji went to Bhutan, he was only provided with three (3) teenage boys for his assistants. Bhutanese people were skeptical of what one person can do for them. After many years of trial and error, Keiji single-handedly changed the scenery of Bhutan rice, buckwheat, and vegetables were growing. He taught Bhutanese people how to grow and prepare food so that they dont have to starve to death. Rice and the seeds of vegetables and buckwheat were brought in from Japan, and he taught Japanese cuisine which has become the base for today's Bhutanese cuisine. For instance, Buckwheat noodle this is called, So. ba, in Japan. Mi. so is a Japanese word it is produced from fermented soybeans. fermenting food. this is one of Japan's food technologies which Keiji taught to the people in Bhutan. Osmunda Japonica or Asian/Japanese Royal Fern this was introduced to Bhutanese by Keiji also. Etc. Every Bhutanese person knows about Keiji Nishioka because his story is taught at their schools. Only the people who don't know these things are Mainland Chinese who pretend to be Bhutanese, opening restaurants to make money. e. g. 95% of Japanese restaurants outside of Japan are run by Chinese or Koreans (both North and South. Koreans often say, I am Japanese, to naive foreigners so they believe them. Today, Mainland Chinese are copying Koreans and faking their identity. to make money. The most appalling thing this woman in your video said is that Bhutanese washing their hands with food (= rice) what a BS this isBhutanese do NOT wash their hands with rice at all; they do NOT waste food like that. They can't afford to. Please check about Dasho Keiji Nishioka; there is a book about him. The king of Bhutan made Keiji the father of Bhutan's agriculture and granted him the highest honor = Dasho.

Bhutan seems so interesting. The culture seems very similar tibetan but with more north indian influence and local flavors. Also it is funny to see how some things look indian influenced while others are more chinese influenced. Interesting. Also the landscape has many differences with tibet des pite some ressemblance. The country is at a very high elevation but is very green and forested compared to tibet. The climate seems different also, while the north has cold very continental or mountainous climate similar to Tibet but most of the country always seems spring-like, never hot and never very cold.

Many of you are complaining that Mark is unauthentic when it comes to rating the food he eats by displaying the same facial expressions and always smiling. but I think he is just being respecful and polite considering the fact that the owner is sitting next to him.

I've eaten here it was amazing to see all the different traditional vegetables they use from mountains. They use chilli as a vegetable and it is in everything unless you ask for no chilli, and then they think your insane lol I LOVE Bhutan: )

I would love to try that food. It doesn't look like it's THAT good and it might not compare favorably to other foods from around the world, but the history behind it is very interesting.
