On Day 17 of our Bhutan travel and food trip we drove from Phobjikha Valley back to Thimphu, Bhutan, stopping for some Bhutanese food along the way. Bhutanese breakfast at Phub Lham Farmhouse - For breakfast we had Bhutanese food at the home stay. The suja, butter tea was fantastic, and the ezay chili sauce was also very good. We also ate white Himalayan rice in a wooden bowl. Wangdue Ecolodge - Driving from Phobjikha Valley back to Thimphu we stopped in Wangdue to eat lunch at the ecolodge. It was a nice place and the owner is really pushing to create a sustainable lodge, both with accommodation and food. The Bhutanese lunch we had was delicious. Thank you to Chechay (Bhutan Musk Travels for accompanying us on this amazing trip in Bhutan Thank you Tenzin our driver for driving us to Phobjikha Valley Disclosure: It was an honor to be invited by MyBhutan to visit Bhutan to explore Bhutanese food and culture.

In before people complaining about same food and drinks every episode. Guess what I enjoyed this Bhutan series very much. This is migrationology. com, he migrate from one place to another to try different type of food. Even if it is the same, prepared food will vary depending on the chef. That's why we see some of Suja salty and some of them are not. Same goes to the ezzay and other dish. Seriously, I don't even remember most of the dish when you visiting other place, but this place, Bhutan. Without even you mention it, I already know what it is after watching several episode. Keep up the good workKeep uploading this adventureI will sure miss Bhutan videos when this ends.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. My opinion is that I love this set of videos and have been anxiously awaiting the release of each one. I have travelled the world but have never been to Bhutan. I find it a fascinating country and especially liked the farm stays. Even though the food was similar, it somehow gave me comfort. It is obvious that you and Ying really enjoyed your time there as well as living amongst the locals. I am old and gray now and my worldly travels are over so I really enjoy your videos. Thank you so much for sharing with us. I know you are busy, but I would love to read an autobiography when you have time to write one.

Mark thank you for such wonderful videos. I travel a lot but I might not be able to go to the places you are going, so thank you for bringing us with you through your nice videos and blogs. I am learning a lot. What I like with you is that you respect the culture and the way of life of the local people. Those with negative comments and haters are people who has not been exposed or who hasn't travelled at all. Their knowledge is limited, they are unhappy and unsuccesful people who sees only the negative aspect of this world. Ignore them Keep up the good work. We appreciate your work. Thank you.

At the beginning of the series, it's momohs, suja butter tea, emadazi, cheese and rice. Oh, and fried egg. At the end of the series, it's everything I mentioned except for momohs. Whatever happened to beef, chicken, fish, shrimps etc. I'm not mentioning pork in case they don't eat pork there. To say the least, this is not a very interesting series. And where is the Sun? Is it always gray in Bhutan?

Hi Mark. just a simple thought. why did you and Ying not cook a bit at your farmhouse home stays, with the ingredients they had. those lovely people would have had some new tastes from other places of the world. you & Ying have travelled all over the world. you both have amazing spirits for adventure & great love with respect for humanity. looking forward to your future videos. hugs to you & Ying from Dubai

I thoroughly enjoyed this series more than others (except for Jordan that was my fave cause I live there at the moment) why did I enjoy this even though the food was repetitive? well basically I felt like I was in a place I have never seen anything like. it'd so different to most places and the food is totally different to anything I ever seen or eaten. so fascinating. thanks Mark

so what if he ate the same foods over and over. can't u all see how he just embraced the culture. he was so grateful and the hospitality that he was shown was amazing. yet simple foods but come on guys these people were more than gracious to share what they had. maybe if u all weren't so selfish u would see past that. . Generous people in a beautiful simple place

i've really enjoyed this series, its different, but still the same mark wiens. he lives in thailand and travels the world eating the most flavourful tropical variety of foods, must be refreshing for him to explore a higher altitude cuisine that is simple but still rich in tradition and chilies. bhutan looks beautiful, keep up the good work mark

there's so much harsh comments here I thought I'll leave a little bit of love in this section even 11 months later. The Bhutan serie has a documentary quality to it, I believe that was a lifetime experience and that Mark has really come to know the dephts of this part of the world. We're just lucky he brought us along with him.

oh. Mark. thought you will go to eastern part of Bhutan too and experience yellow rice known as kharang and drink lots of local wine known as ara as local people do. haha. Though I am far from my home your videos just make me feel that I am in home. Thanks for visiting Bhutan and uploading videos.
