The Cycling Canadian Your Surprise Visitors were certainly a surprise. I did not expect to see the two children. Before you turned your camera, I was expecting your subscribers or some other people trying to sell you something. The children are just so friendly. Good that you do have some regular visitors now and then. Try to say a few Myanmar greetings next time like “Mingalabar” which may bring some surprises.
Mingalabar has crept into regular use in my life, but little else I'm afraid. I actually intended to learn a bit of the language - for small talk anyway - but I guess I never made the time. Maybe I'll manage to do so soon.
@@olefella7561 l agree absolutely 100%. Besides, vast majority of innocent people of Myanmar have suffered for way too long. May they all be blessed! blog.chinadaily.com.cn/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=742201 is a good web to know plain truths on Myanmar. Thank you, Sir.
It is fish soup with noodle, there is no part of fish in mohinga since it is all scrambled. The one you ate is banana stem. FYI, Burmese don't consider mohinga as a some kind of noodle, like you said it is just mohinga.
Oh! I thought u are not in Myanmar anymore. You are still here! I was going to describe what MOHINGA is but you googled it. The rice noodle is called 'Mope-Phat.' I am glad that you enjoy it and I have never seen a tourist who blogged about Myanmar this much. I hope you have a nice trip here, Myanmar. Much love from Local.
Yes, he is a true traveler, not a tourist. He always tries to go out of his way to explore and learn about the local culture and customs. Let's wish him the best of luck in his future travels.
Yes, I'm still here. I think I'm just operating at turtle speed. I have a habit of settling down and staying in places for longer periods of time. That's probably not a good habit for someone who is supposed to be traveling. I think I've invented something called "staying." 🙂
You paid way less than 5000 Kyat listed at Burma Bistro, lol. Mohinga is ultimate Burmese comfort food that can be had any time of the day. Noodles are freshly made "fermented" rice vermicelli noodles and thus a hint of sourness, it's origin may be Mon ethnic. Soup is slow cooked(usually overnight) with fish, ginger, garlic, onion, turmeric, chili pepper, back pepper, lemon grass, fish sauce and a few other ingredients. Fibrous cuts of vegetable pieces are heart of banana stem, it usually soaks up the soup flavors and squirts out the flavors when you chew on it. Mohinga is usually consumed with boiled egg, assortment of optional deep fried crispy crunchy vegetable fritters (you have to ask for them specifically in shop like this since they don't specialize in Mohinga). To me, fritters are a must have with Mohinga, they are usually displayed very visibly if you visit a Mohinga speciality shop . There are a number of Mohinga specialized shops around downtown within short walk away from where you are staying. Just ask your lodge operator for a very good local Mohinga place, they will be very happy to point you to one. Keep in mind these shops usually open the door about 5 AM in the morning and they usually sell out by 8-9 AM because they tend to be very popular with the locals.
Thanks for the info about mohinga. That's all very interesting. I think I never went out early looking for good mohinga partially because all the guest houses serve breakfast in the morning. I just got in the habit of having that breakfast because it was so convenient. 🙂
Hello..I recently saw your vedio..As a Myanmar citizen,I highly recommend to go Feel restaurant in Pyidaung Zu Yeiktha Road in which Indonesia Embassy is located nearby..You can try varieties of Myanmar Traditional foods such as Mohinga, Coconut Noddle ,Nann Kyee Tote , desserts and etc at Feel restaurant which server breakfast starting from around 7AM to 10:30AM..Feel Restaurant, is one of the famous restaurant in Myanmar which is far just about 2.2km from Phone Gyee Road,is also situated in Thailand.Oh! I forgot to say about Kone Htet restaurant which sell Sticky Rice with Chicken(a must) and Coconut icecream in Phone Gyi Road that is near the traffic light of Anawrahta road..Have a nice day.
Yes National dish, Made with cat/cobbler oil, fish mashed, garlic, ginger, onion, banana bark, lemongrass, dall powder, fish sauce, rice noodle. Coriander, chillies, fish sauce, lemon, boiled egg, fried split pea, fried garlic oil for garnish.
That's awesome that you tried Mohinga, which I believe is your 2nd time. There are dedicated Monhinga shops/restaurants and they tend to be of course better than tea house's Mohinga. And I generally eat Mohinga with fried beans "pell kyaw" but you can also put in fried chinese donut stick "e kyar kwayy" or fish cake "gna phel" as well if they offer.
The vegetable part you mentioned actually is the inner trunk of banana tree. Only the tender part is used. It us chopped up and simmer for a while. Besides the banana trunk it has massed fish meat and spices. When served they add boiled egg, fried bean patty, and fried fish cake.Looking at your Mohinga I found that the gravy was a little thicker than normal. Usually, the gravy is not as thick. I know my wife cooks it at home very often.
Glad you enjoyed your first taste of Mohinga. There are many ways to enjoy it but I like to add fried garlic, with some vegetable fritters. My wife likes it with chopped raw green beans. If you get a chance visit 'Rangoon Tea House' and try their chicken biryani. It's near Sule Pagoda (on Pansodan Street).
Hi Doug ,Mohinga is Burmese National dish.fish & rice broth/cooked with banana barkrice noodles, you can have mohingah for breakfast/lunch /dinner,healthy meallove your videos,look forward daily
Very good video! I like seeing how someone tries mohinga (or anything) for the first time! Mohinga is rather nutritious. You can nutrition from fish and you can also put more onions if you make at home, and the taste is mild enough to drink all the soup unlike some other famous Asian noodles.
Probably safe to say that Mohinga is NOT Green Eggs and Ham. I watched this at two thirty in the morning and just busted out laughing watching Doug try to describe Mohinga. Sometimes the camera serves as your "front man" and you are a true comedienne. I LOVE your videos.
Thank you. The funny thing is that I'm definitely not trying to be funny. That really is me just trying to figure out how to describe this new food I'm having for breakfast. 😃
Doug, the parsley you mentioned is actually coriander or cilantro as they call it here in the US. It is commonly used in many Burmese dishes. Yes, the young girl was very sweet and helpful. Although she didn't speak much English, she tried to explain to you and this is what Myanmar is all about; the kindness and hospitality of the people. And yes also to mohinga being the national dish of Myanmar!
Well, I'm displaying my overall lack of knowledge about food yet again. 🙂 I had no idea what coriander/cilantro even looked like. I read in the Wikipedia entry that cilantro was an ingredient in mohinga, but I didn't know what cilantro was.
Cilantro or Chinese Parsley or Coriander - it’s the same herbal plant. The seeds of the plant is called coriander seeds and it’s used in making curry and masala tea. Cilantro is commonly used as fresh garnishing for dishes in Chinese and Vietnamese cooking. The Vietnamese noodle Pho and the baguette Bann Mi use a lot of raw cilantro(and basil too). Cilantro has a unique fragrant smell and can be a slightly minty too. The cilantro leaves and the coriander seeds are often dried and crushed and mixed with other spices to be made into Masala which is used in tea or curry.
@@CL-mt3mn When you mention about Vietnamese Pho soup, I remember the time I was in Hanoi in 2010. At that time, I didn't know about Pho and ate mostly in Western restaurants. I guess I was also a bit reluctant to try the local cuisine because of some stories I heard about the meat used in Vietnamese dishes. Anyway, when I moved to the US in 2011, I stayed with my daughter in California for a few months and she introduced me to Pho noodles. Since then, I've been a fan of Vietnamese food. There are also a lot of Vietnamese restaurants here in Orlando, Florida. By the way, the only time I felt queasy when eating local food was when I had some dumplings one time in Vientiane, Laos. Up to this day, I'm still wondering whether the meat inside the dumpling was from a commonly known household pet, hahaha!
I love all of your Videos! You are an symphatetic and likeable men, who makes travel videos with love! Very unique these days. I like to watch your videos when i’m on my long trips in busses or trains. I was 3 Weeks in malaysia backpacking and i returned yesterday. Kuala lumpur, langkawi, penang, ipoh its a beautiful country:)! and i was 2 days in singapore. Now my work starts again on monday..:( so sad. I work and save up my money only for my trips in other countries. I do not like to buy cars or a good computer and all of this kind of material things or get married with 27( i have so much time for doing this one day...)i like to be a minimalist, because of that im a little bit strange for other peoples. But i think i‘m doing the best decision in my life.
Way to go! I am retired now but when I was working full time I was somewhat like you. My priority in life was seeing the world and luckily I managed to do that. Most of the money I earned was spent on traveling and a lot of folks told me I should have saved more and traveled less. But I've never regretted it. My real education came from observing other cultures and/or lifestyles in different countries, inter-acting with people from all walks of life, and learning at the same time. The knowledge that I gained from my travels can never be acquired from any college or university. And this is why I admire the Cycling Canadian. By the way, I was in Malaysia many times and it is one of my favorite Asian countries too. I especially love Penang/Georgetown. What a wonderful mix of old and new, plus a great variety of delicious food available!
Cho Sett good to know that other peoples have the same opinion from life:). What me very scared is that i have not enough time to travel all of my favorite countries, i am 27 years now. I work most of the time in a full time job. By the way i am a travel agent and i work in the Frankfurt airport! I can visit 1-2 countries each year from my vacation . But i think its not that many what i really want. And im 28 years old in two months..the time is rushing...
@@Saladin1992 Oh you still have a lot of time to travel all over the world! I am 74 and I'm still a happy traveler. By the way, I have been to Frankfurt several times. I remember one time Lufthansa had free apples for passengers at the airport departure lounge. I wonder if they still offer them. Please visit Myanmar one of these days. It is called the Golden Land and a lot of German tourists go there; you can watch their videos in the German language right here on UA-cam.
Thank you very much. Making these videos is enjoyable, and I'm just learning how to do it. I'm glad you're enjoying them. I hope you had a good experience in Malaysia and Singapore. I never thought of myself as a minimalist - at least not a deliberate one. I actually have a lot of stuff in my bags compared to lightweight backpackers. But the way my life went, I never ended up buying cars or houses or expensive computers or anything like that. I think that was probably from fear of commitment and inability to make decisions more than anything else. But by accident I suppose I ended up being a type of minimalist - at least compared to the typical Canadian with a family and a house and nice car. Some good things come with being a minimalist - more freedom to travel is one of them. 😃 But you also don't have security and stability. I guess you just have to make choices and live the best life you can whatever your circumstances.
@@PlanetDoug You said, "Some good things come with being a minimalist - more freedom to travel is one of them." I don't think I can call myself a minimalist although travel has always been one of my top priorities in life - and still is - when I was working full time I earned a fairly good salary and spent most of it on traveling the world whenever I could find the time. At that time a lot of people told me that instead of traveling, I should save as much as I can. Well, I made my choice and I am now living the best life I can in my retirement. But you know what, I have never regretted my decision. I have learned much more from my travels than from all the education I received from any school or university.
Really enjoyed seeing you savored Mohinga. I think you can now be classified as a food ranger. I am pretty impressed by the way you describe the unique taste of it. I remember Mohinga is quite like Asam Laksa (Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia) with the slightly fishy taste, although Asam Laksa is usually quite sour. For Curry Laksa, Siam or Nyonya version, there’s coconut milk curry added, and the soup becomes thicker and the flavor sour curry. For Mohinga or Laksa, which ever version, the test lies on the soup. Mohinga is salty sweet but Laksa is sweet sour, except the one with coconut curry added. Mohinga uses thin rice noodle or Bee Hoon (called such in Malaysia or Singapore), but Laksa uses a special smooth Laksa noodle or rice vermicelli. Some of ingredients for Mohinga are banana tree trunk (the very inner part) and fish soup cooked with lemongrass, ginger, garlic and onion. Then eggs and fritters are added as toppings. Laksa also uses fish soup cooked with almost the same ingredients as Mohinga. The Laksa soup also requires lots of tamarind for the sour taste. Laksa comes with lots of toppings. The toppings are a range of raw vegetables - shedded lettuce, cucumber, pineapple, mint leaves, special laksa leaves (daun kesum) and a special ginger flower. And to enhance the taste of the soup further, a spoonful of prawn paste is added to the soup if required. Mohinga is served as food for breakfast, but Laksa is kind of a street food served in the afternoon. Nowadays both Mohinga and Laksa are available as cuisines in major hotels in South East Asia. I am not sure of the listing for Mohinga, but it is a national dish for Myanmar. Laksa was voted number 7 in the list of CNN Go 50 world’s best food in 2011. It is a complete meal, and there’s a road side stall in Ayer Itam, Penang made famous world wide by Anthony Bourdain. So, new foodie, go on eating Mohinga and Laksa, if you have not tried it yet. Thanks for the interesting food review.
Considering how much a true foodie like you knows about food, it's kind of silly for me to even venture an opinion. I can barely discern different flavors let alone find the words to describe them. But I do my best. 😃
Well, you did your best. The taste of Mohinga is not easy to discern, but you managed to describe it pretty well and in a simple manner. I am not a foodie either but I happened to have the opportunity to taste different dishes and cuisines of the west and east. I also like some street food but I tend to be careful as my stomach is getting more and more fragile these days.
I have eaten Laksa many times and like it. Also, Nasi goreng, mee goreng, nasi lemak. The fish curry in Penang, Malaysia is the best I've had anywhere in the world. I was there so many times in the past and really enjoyed the wide variety of food there whether Chinese, Indian or Malay. As a matter of fact, I can say that Penang/Georgetown is my favorite Asian city. The buildings there are a superb blend of old colonial architecture and modern sky rise offices/condos. The bus ride from the city to Batu Ferringhi beach has spectacular scenery all the way! Oh yes, before I forget, mohinga is also available at the Komtar building in downtown Georgetown where there is a Myanmar/Burmese restaurant.
Glad to know that you have traveled to so many places and eaten Laksa and so many other Malaysian food. Vietnamese and Thai foods are easily available in many parts of the world. Didn’t know there’s a stall selling Mohinga in Komtar. Now that you are telling me, I will be sure to check it out. Thanks for sharing.
@@CL-mt3mn You're welcome. Yes, I am very fortunate that I have traveled all over the world, 44 different countries so far. I left my homeland of Myanmar way back in 1978 and worked my way through Asia, Europe, back to Asia and then finally retired in America where I now live in the United States. Having lived in both East and West, I have come to appreciate/respect all cultures and religions. My last trip to Penang was in 2011. As I recall, the Burmese restaurant in the Komtar building was on the 4th floor and they also sold other foodstuff from Myanmar. I think a bowl of mohinga cost 4 ringgits. I hope the restaurant is still there.
Wow this is the 1st the u tried Monthingar? She said no Noodle bcoz in Myanmar noodle normally refers to egg yellowy noodle. Monthingar is made of fish banana trunk egg lemon grass and u choose fritters. Pls try coconut noodle and nan gyi thote next time
Mohinga is totally different from Laksa in any aspect. Mohinga is fish soup base and Laksa is chicken soup base. Roasted rice flour and ckickpea powder are added to make thick soup in Mohinga, but in Laska coconut milk play vital role. Think rice noddle vs thick flour noodle. Although Laska is best to eat with fried tofu, chili paste and seafood, Mohinga is best with boil egg, fried vegetables(something like tampura) and some spices.
Laksa has a lot of bases, it has the creamy chicken base (Laksa Katong) , sour fish base (Laksa Utara), sour coconut base (Laksam), savory curry base (Laksa Johor) and bitter herb base (Laksa Sarawak).
@@azraieruslim I have been in Malaysia, Sg and indo, still didn't counter any Laska with fish soup base. Mostly in chicken soup base, I only notice either Chinese cook Laska and Malay cook Laska. Most of them come with creamy coconut soup. Some sour and some don't. I might try fish soup base Laska on next Malaysia trip.
I think why she said it’s not “noodle” , bec she meant it’s not made of wheat, it’s made of rice, so it’s the rice vermicelli and there must have another word for that in Burmese. Just like in Chinese and Vietnamese.
You’ve made the viewers confused saying that the pieces in Mohingha were fish and it was not fish again. Actually, the first bite was the fish as you think. It is called “Nga-phe-gyaw” which was fried fish cake usually added to Mohingha dish on top. The second one was the banana trunk which was cut and boiled in the soup. Then, you got a taste like a little bit hot or spicy without adding chili powder because the black pepper is used in the soup to have the balance in taste, flavor and properties with bean powder inside.
It ended up being an interesting dish. I think it was the first time I'd ever eaten pieces of banana trunk. As I mentioned in the video, I was actually glad it wasn't fish. The banana stem actually tasted pretty good. 🙂
@@PlanetDoug Okay, good. So, your Mohingha was plain one in this video. Next time, if you have chance, please try it with Nga-phe-gyaw. Unlike other fish cakes, it is a delightful delicacy in Mohingha.
Sorry I missed U at the train station n the lake. The signs in Burmese did warn: Danger don't enter. U saved me many foot steps. Too bad I didn't see U on the road s b/4 leaving Yangon. Good luck and be successful in your future endeavors. Be safe!
I'm the same way. I guess it's just part of how you grow up and what you get used to. I could have Corn Flakes and milk for breakfast every morning and be happy. I liked the mohinga, but I'd definitely enjoy it more as a lunch or dinner than breakfast. I'm not ready for that much flavor so early in the morning. 🙂
@@johnadam3707 Yes, you can get a standard American breakfast in many places. All the guest houses provide a breakfast in the morning for their guests, and this is often a continental or full American-style breakfast. I haven't stayed in any regular hotels here, but any normal hotel (3-star and up) would surely have an American breakfast available on their menu. Out on the street, it wouldn't be common. These tea houses, for example, wouldn't serve that kind of food. But there are lots of western-style restaurants around that would.
People who eat with their hands normally don't have difficulty to eat fish without its bone. Maybe you could give a try. 😀 Like Drew Binsky said, you will feel more connected to the foods when you use your hands.
In the case of fish, eating with your hands would probably be better. You can feel around with your fingers and peel the flesh of the fish from the tiny bones. But it's definitely not something I'd make a habit out of. I like my utensils - chopsticks or a spoon/fork. 🙂
I'm interested in visiting both countries. Bhutan would be interesting, though I understand it is a bit expensive to go there and the tourist visa is fairly short. I visited Nepal a long time ago, and I did one of the more popular treks. It was a great experience, and I'd love to do it again.
It shapes like noodle but called rice stick because it's made of rice , noodle is made of flower . They should give you the fried beans because it tastes best with it for Mohinga. (Fried beans )(ပဲကြေ်) pronouns like (bet jaw) bet without consonant t but sounds a little longer beee jaw, and consonant b is soft nasal like p sound but heavier than p.
I never liked Mohinga. but when you eat Mohinga next time, you definitely need Pel Kyaw (Deep fried bean) and Boo Thee Kyaw (Deep fried Opo squash). Don't eat at street shops. Mohinga at Yangon airport is pretty good. Here are some tips. For breakfast - Feel restaurant. (124 Pyidaungzu Yeiktha Street, Yangon), Garden Bistro, Royal Garden and there are plenty of good restaurants. But, you need someone local who have experienced all kind of restaurants. You can try all kind of Burmese food at Feel restaurant. For soup, I like Coconut chicken noodle soup (Ohn no kouk swell ) and Kyay O. If you like hot-pot, try Hot pot city or Shwe Kaung. For noodle, I like Chicken noodle (Nann Gyi Tote). For fruit, there are over 1000 different kind of mangoes. Try all kind of mangoes. Try mangosteen, custardvapple, rambutan, durian, etc. If you want to try Burmese-Chinese restaurant or roasted duck, try Golden duck or Western Park restaurant. They also have all different kind of food including deep fried eel. Most restaurants I mentioned above are not expensive. If you want to go to the beach, go to Nagapli or myeik archipelago. Try all kind of experiences.
I think you lost your bearing and got into a conventional teahouse.There're much more popular teahouses in Yangon.You missed the best one not far from your GH, the Lucky Seven Teashop in upper 49th St.You can try and enjoy savoury Burmese breakfast there.A Yangon famous mont-hin-gar outlet is Sanpya Daw Kyi at the corner of Maha Bandoola & Wadan Street.Dont lose these opportunities next time.
Yes, I believe it is a halal restaurant. I saw the word halal written in different places around the Asia Teahouse. There were several large mosques nearby, and so I think quite a few people in the neighborhood around my guest house were Muslim.
I managed to get a train ticket to Mawlamyine eventually. I just haven't had enough time to upload videos in real time. So I'm behind. My videos about Mawlamyine will pop up eventually. I'm currently just trying to catch up with all the video that I shot in Yangon. 🙂
I knew the name mohinga and that it was a national dish. That's how I recognized it on the menu on the wall. I had a vague memory of mohinga being some kind of noodle dish with fish. But that's about all I knew. I don't think I had mohinga at all on my first visit to Myanmar. I just wasn't paying much attention to food at that time. 🙂
@@PlanetDoug Doug, what are you going to do when your present visa runs out? Make a visa run to Bangkok again? I think you can extend your current visa at the Immigration office in Yangon for a few more days.
I think I've kept the GoPro on linear view almost all the time since that day. I was surprised that even linear view was still quite wide. It's wide enough even for me, and it doesn't distort as much as the standard Wide view of the GoPro. So I'm happy with linear view. 🙂
They sell these birds at the temples. People buy them and set them free to gain merits. Buddhists like to free animals like fish,birds,and turtles.Its believed that by setting them free the person will be blessed with good fortune and sometimes they do it with the belief that they will have good health.
@@aroonburanasakorn5553 Very good Buddhist concept. However, in many cases the birds are trained to return to the cage so that other people can "free" them again. Clever business practice but yes, I don't believe any animal should be put in cages.
Sir all of myanmar traditional foods are very good and equal quality are only in mandalay because our king lived in mandalay in the past . So all of the technicians are in mandalay . Now there are a lot of their generations in mandalay . Even manipurist astologers generations are in mandalay . You should try myanmar traditional foods in mandalay . You will defenitely get high quality . You don`t need to ask which shops are good in mandalay . You just ramdom eat .

@9:45 is banana stem. You can't actually see fish, it's all in the gravy
Since watching your videos this is the first time I watched it first
Yes I like Mohimga.Eaten in Yangon & Mandalay.Its called LAKSA in country.I also hv tried Mohimga in Kuala Lumpur.
love to see that you are trying our traditional food.
The vegetable part you mentioned actually is the inner trunk of banana tree. Only the tender part is used. It us chopped up and simmer for a while. Besides the banana trunk it has massed fish meat and spices. When served they add boiled egg, fried bean patty, and fried fish cake.Looking at your Mohinga I found that the gravy was a little thicker than normal. Usually, the gravy is not as thick. I know my wife cooks it at home very often.
In Mohinga, the fish is boiled and meshed inside the dish; not in lumps. The lump is the banana stem.
The best breakfast of Myanmar... Loved it... Visited Burma during 2003-04👍👍
All right! Good food..... I miss it.
Your video and audio are fine. I like watching them and didn't notice any issue at all.
Cheers
thanks for sharing the video. this soup has peanut powder, fish. noodle is rice base. like a vermecilli.
Glad you enjoyed your first taste of Mohinga. There are many ways to enjoy it but I like to add fried garlic, with some vegetable fritters. My wife likes it with chopped raw green beans.
If you get a chance visit 'Rangoon Tea House' and try their chicken biryani. It's near Sule Pagoda (on Pansodan Street).
Me too like Monhinga, too much, i am living in India but birth place being Myanma...Nice video sir, thanks for the post.

Very good video! I like seeing how someone tries mohinga (or anything) for the first time! Mohinga is rather nutritious. You can nutrition from fish and you can also put more onions if you make at home, and the taste is mild enough to drink all the soup unlike some other famous Asian noodles.
Probably safe to say that Mohinga is NOT Green Eggs and Ham. I watched this at two thirty in the morning and just busted out laughing watching Doug try to describe Mohinga. Sometimes the camera serves as your "front man" and you are a true comedienne. I LOVE your videos.
Thank you. The funny thing is that I'm definitely not trying to be funny. That really is me just trying to figure out how to describe this new food I'm having for breakfast. 😃
Mohinga is rice noodles washed down with fishsoup. In the soup you lucky to get somebanana tree Trump .mix with eggs some onionfried at your choice.
hi it have noodles fish's eggs and some kind of soup which is fantastic
keep going you doing a good job brother and your videos so amazing
Thank you. I'm glad you're enjoying the videos.
Doug, the parsley you mentioned is actually coriander or cilantro as they call it here in the US. It is commonly used in many Burmese dishes. Yes, the young girl was very sweet and helpful. Although she didn't speak much English, she tried to explain to you and this is what Myanmar is all about; the kindness and hospitality of the people. And yes also to mohinga being the national dish of Myanmar!
Well, I'm displaying my overall lack of knowledge about food yet again. 🙂 I had no idea what coriander/cilantro even looked like. I read in the Wikipedia entry that cilantro was an ingredient in mohinga, but I didn't know what cilantro was.
Cilantro or Chinese Parsley or Coriander - it’s the same herbal plant. The seeds of the plant is called coriander seeds and it’s used in making curry and masala tea. Cilantro is commonly used as fresh garnishing for dishes in Chinese and Vietnamese cooking.
The Vietnamese noodle Pho and the baguette Bann Mi use a lot of raw cilantro(and basil too). Cilantro has a unique fragrant smell and can be a slightly minty too. The cilantro leaves and the coriander seeds are often dried and crushed and mixed with other spices to be made into Masala which is used in tea or curry.
@@CL-mt3mn When you mention about Vietnamese Pho soup, I remember the time I was in Hanoi in 2010. At that time, I didn't know about Pho and ate mostly in Western restaurants. I guess I was also a bit reluctant to try the local cuisine because of some stories I heard about the meat used in Vietnamese dishes. Anyway, when I moved to the US in 2011, I stayed with my daughter in California for a few months and she introduced me to Pho noodles. Since then, I've been a fan of Vietnamese food. There are also a lot of Vietnamese restaurants here in Orlando, Florida.
By the way, the only time I felt queasy when eating local food was when I had some dumplings one time in Vientiane, Laos. Up to this day, I'm still wondering whether the meat inside the dumpling was from a commonly known household pet, hahaha!
I love all of your Videos! You are an symphatetic and likeable men, who makes travel videos with love! Very unique these days. I like to watch your videos when i’m on my long trips in busses or trains.
I was 3 Weeks in malaysia backpacking and i returned yesterday. Kuala lumpur, langkawi, penang, ipoh its a beautiful country:)! and i was 2 days in singapore.
Now my work starts again on monday..:( so sad. I work and save up my money only for my trips in other countries. I do not like to buy cars or a good computer and all of this kind of material things or get married with 27( i have so much time for doing this one day...)i like to be a minimalist, because of that im a little bit strange for other peoples. But i think i‘m doing the best decision in my life.
Way to go! I am retired now but when I was working full time I was somewhat like you. My priority in life was seeing the world and luckily I managed to do that. Most of the money I earned was spent on traveling and a lot of folks told me I should have saved more and traveled less. But I've never regretted it. My real education came from observing other cultures and/or lifestyles in different countries, inter-acting with people from all walks of life, and learning at the same time. The knowledge that I gained from my travels can never be acquired from any college or university.
And this is why I admire the Cycling Canadian. By the way, I was in Malaysia many times and it is one of my favorite Asian countries too. I especially love Penang/Georgetown. What a wonderful mix of old and new, plus a great variety of delicious food available!
Cho Sett good to know that other peoples have the same opinion from life:).
What me very scared is that i have not enough time to travel all of my favorite countries, i am 27 years now. I work most of the time in a full time job. By the way i am a travel agent and i work in the Frankfurt airport! I can visit 1-2 countries each year from my vacation . But i think its not that many what i really want. And im 28 years old in two months..the time is rushing...
@@Saladin1992 Oh you still have a lot of time to travel all over the world! I am 74 and I'm still a happy traveler. By the way, I have been to Frankfurt several times. I remember one time Lufthansa had free apples for passengers at the airport departure lounge. I wonder if they still offer them.
Please visit Myanmar one of these days. It is called the Golden Land and a lot of German tourists go there; you can watch their videos in the German language right here on UA-cam.
Thank you very much. Making these videos is enjoyable, and I'm just learning how to do it. I'm glad you're enjoying them.
I hope you had a good experience in Malaysia and Singapore. I never thought of myself as a minimalist - at least not a deliberate one. I actually have a lot of stuff in my bags compared to lightweight backpackers. But the way my life went, I never ended up buying cars or houses or expensive computers or anything like that. I think that was probably from fear of commitment and inability to make decisions more than anything else. But by accident I suppose I ended up being a type of minimalist - at least compared to the typical Canadian with a family and a house and nice car.
Some good things come with being a minimalist - more freedom to travel is one of them. 😃 But you also don't have security and stability. I guess you just have to make choices and live the best life you can whatever your circumstances.
@@PlanetDoug You said, "Some good things come with being a minimalist - more freedom to travel is one of them."
I don't think I can call myself a minimalist although travel has always been one of my top priorities in life - and still is - when I was working full time I earned a fairly good salary and spent most of it on traveling the world whenever I could find the time. At that time a lot of people told me that instead of traveling, I should save as much as I can. Well, I made my choice and I am now living the best life I can in my retirement. But you know what, I have never regretted my decision. I have learned much more from my travels than from all the education I received from any school or university.
oh my... soooooo rich and yummy!
Really enjoyed seeing you savored Mohinga. I think you can now be classified as a food ranger. I am pretty impressed by the way you describe the unique taste of it.
I remember Mohinga is quite like Asam Laksa (Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia) with the slightly fishy taste, although Asam Laksa is usually quite sour. For Curry Laksa, Siam or Nyonya version, there’s coconut milk curry added, and the soup becomes thicker and the flavor sour curry.
For Mohinga or Laksa, which ever version, the test lies on the soup. Mohinga is salty sweet but Laksa is sweet sour, except the one with coconut curry added.
Mohinga uses thin rice noodle or Bee Hoon (called such in Malaysia or Singapore), but Laksa uses a special smooth Laksa noodle or rice vermicelli.
Some of ingredients for Mohinga are banana tree trunk (the very inner part) and fish soup cooked with lemongrass, ginger, garlic and onion. Then eggs and fritters are added as toppings.
Laksa also uses fish soup cooked with almost the same ingredients as Mohinga. The Laksa soup also requires lots of tamarind for the sour taste. Laksa comes with lots of toppings. The toppings are a range of raw vegetables - shedded lettuce, cucumber, pineapple, mint leaves, special laksa leaves (daun kesum) and a special ginger flower. And to enhance the taste of the soup further, a spoonful of prawn paste is added to the soup if required.
Mohinga is served as food for breakfast, but Laksa is kind of a street food served in the afternoon. Nowadays both Mohinga and Laksa are available as cuisines in major hotels in South East Asia.
I am not sure of the listing for Mohinga, but it is a national dish for Myanmar. Laksa was voted number 7 in the list of CNN Go 50 world’s best food in 2011. It is a complete meal, and there’s a road side stall in Ayer Itam, Penang made famous world wide by Anthony Bourdain.
So, new foodie, go on eating Mohinga and Laksa, if you have not tried it yet.
Thanks for the interesting food review.
Considering how much a true foodie like you knows about food, it's kind of silly for me to even venture an opinion. I can barely discern different flavors let alone find the words to describe them. But I do my best. 😃
Well, you did your best. The taste of Mohinga is not easy to discern, but you managed to describe it pretty well and in a simple manner.
I am not a foodie either but I happened to have the opportunity to taste different dishes and cuisines of the west and east. I also like some street food but I tend to be careful as my stomach is getting more and more fragile these days.
I have eaten Laksa many times and like it. Also, Nasi goreng, mee goreng, nasi lemak. The fish curry in Penang, Malaysia is the best I've had anywhere in the world. I was there so many times in the past and really enjoyed the wide variety of food there whether Chinese, Indian or Malay. As a matter of fact, I can say that Penang/Georgetown is my favorite Asian city. The buildings there are a superb blend of old colonial architecture and modern sky rise offices/condos. The bus ride from the city to Batu Ferringhi beach has spectacular scenery all the way! Oh yes, before I forget, mohinga is also available at the Komtar building in downtown Georgetown where there is a Myanmar/Burmese restaurant.
Glad to know that you have traveled to so many places and eaten Laksa and so many other Malaysian food.
Vietnamese and Thai foods are easily available in many parts of the world. Didn’t know there’s a stall selling Mohinga in Komtar. Now that you are telling me, I will be sure to check it out. Thanks for sharing.
@@CL-mt3mn You're welcome. Yes, I am very fortunate that I have traveled all over the world, 44 different countries so far. I left my homeland of Myanmar way back in 1978 and worked my way through Asia, Europe, back to Asia and then finally retired in America where I now live in the United States. Having lived in both East and West, I have come to appreciate/respect all cultures and religions.
My last trip to Penang was in 2011. As I recall, the Burmese restaurant in the Komtar building was on the 4th floor and they also sold other foodstuff from Myanmar. I think a bowl of mohinga cost 4 ringgits. I hope the restaurant is still there.
Mohingga is similar to the Northern version of Msia's Asam Laksa (white version) which is served with minced fish meat.
Oh man....i love this kind grandpa 😍...wish you have a great time in my poor country 😁
Thank you very much. This kind grandpa is having a very good time in Myanmar. 😃
Oh, when did you become a grandpa, and to be more specific, a kind one, ha, ha, ha 🤩
Congratulations by the way.
@@CL-mt3mn i love him so.... i called this in a cute way 😄😃 or may b a cool way Duh😂
JHope' Ppapappa
Wow, that’s so cute and cool 😎
Every visitor to Myanmar should try out Mohinga unless they have allergies
And Coconut Noodles Ohn Noke Kauk Swear yum
Wow this is the 1st the u tried Monthingar? She said no Noodle bcoz in Myanmar noodle normally refers to egg yellowy noodle. Monthingar is made of fish banana trunk egg lemon grass and u choose fritters. Pls try coconut noodle and nan gyi thote next time
The thing that you point to is Banana Tree Trunk. The soup is made with fish but you don’t see a chunk of fish meat.
So simple and cool vlog
Praying for the people in Myanmar
great! u enjoyed it :)
1,700 MMK ~ $1.20
This Mohinga seems similar style to the various Laksa we have in Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia.
I can say different. Look a bit similar. Taste different. I have tasted Laksa both in Malaysia and Singapore, but not Indonesia yet
Mohinga is totally different from Laksa in any aspect. Mohinga is fish soup base and Laksa is chicken soup base. Roasted rice flour and ckickpea powder are added to make thick soup in Mohinga, but in Laska coconut milk play vital role. Think rice noddle vs thick flour noodle. Although Laska is best to eat with fried tofu, chili paste and seafood, Mohinga is best with boil egg, fried vegetables(something like tampura) and some spices.
Laksa has a lot of bases, it has the creamy chicken base (Laksa Katong) , sour fish base (Laksa Utara), sour coconut base (Laksam), savory curry base (Laksa Johor) and bitter herb base (Laksa Sarawak).
@@azraieruslim I have been in Malaysia, Sg and indo, still didn't counter any Laska with fish soup base. Mostly in chicken soup base, I only notice either Chinese cook Laska and Malay cook Laska. Most of them come with creamy coconut soup. Some sour and some don't. I might try fish soup base Laska on next Malaysia trip.
@@yanshin86 Just try to find "Assam Laksa", it's actually a common fish base soup, even sold on chain restaurants.
I think why she said it’s not “noodle” , bec she meant it’s not made of wheat, it’s made of rice, so it’s the rice vermicelli and there must have another word for that in Burmese. Just like in Chinese and Vietnamese.
*I always eat Mohingya and E Kyar Kwae for breakfast*
-YUPT Public (YBS)
E Kyar Kwae and tea very good
Mohinga looks like mee siam n the brown pc is a fried tofu....
With the thick gravy, it is closer to mee rebus than mee siam
The way you tried banana stem in Monhinga and said this is not fish make me laugh :)
It was quite a mystery for a while. I had no idea what I was eating. 🙂
Skipping the free breakfast. Living large!
What are the differences compare between Malaysian teh tarik and Myanmar tea ? :)
good
You’ve made the viewers confused saying that the pieces in Mohingha were fish and it was not fish again. Actually, the first bite was the fish as you think. It is called “Nga-phe-gyaw” which was fried fish cake usually added to Mohingha dish on top. The second one was the banana trunk which was cut and boiled in the soup. Then, you got a taste like a little bit hot or spicy without adding chili powder because the black pepper is used in the soup to have the balance in taste, flavor and properties with bean powder inside.
It ended up being an interesting dish. I think it was the first time I'd ever eaten pieces of banana trunk. As I mentioned in the video, I was actually glad it wasn't fish. The banana stem actually tasted pretty good. 🙂
@@PlanetDoug Okay, good. So, your Mohingha was plain one in this video. Next time, if you have chance, please try it with Nga-phe-gyaw. Unlike other fish cakes, it is a delightful delicacy in Mohingha.
How does Mohinga compare to Roti Canai and Nasi Lemak + teh tarik for breakfast?
For breakfast, I would prefer Roti Canai and Nasi Lemak + teh tarik. Mohinga is good, but for me it is a lunch or dinner dish.
U the Man! Great job! Sorry I
Sorry I missed U at the train station n the lake. The signs in Burmese did warn: Danger don't enter. U saved me many foot steps. Too bad I didn't see U on the road s b/4 leaving Yangon.
Good luck and be successful in your future endeavors. Be safe!
As a American i have to eat a breakfast in the morning mohinga is a sunday lunch meal . 🇺🇸
I'm the same way. I guess it's just part of how you grow up and what you get used to. I could have Corn Flakes and milk for breakfast every morning and be happy. I liked the mohinga, but I'd definitely enjoy it more as a lunch or dinner than breakfast. I'm not ready for that much flavor so early in the morning. 🙂
Does it have American breakfast there
@@johnadam3707 Yes, you can get a standard American breakfast in many places. All the guest houses provide a breakfast in the morning for their guests, and this is often a continental or full American-style breakfast. I haven't stayed in any regular hotels here, but any normal hotel (3-star and up) would surely have an American breakfast available on their menu. Out on the street, it wouldn't be common. These tea houses, for example, wouldn't serve that kind of food. But there are lots of western-style restaurants around that would.
People who eat with their hands normally don't have difficulty to eat fish without its bone. Maybe you could give a try. 😀
Like Drew Binsky said, you will feel more connected to the foods when you use your hands.
In the case of fish, eating with your hands would probably be better. You can feel around with your fingers and peel the flesh of the fish from the tiny bones. But it's definitely not something I'd make a habit out of. I like my utensils - chopsticks or a spoon/fork. 🙂
I am just wondering are you interested in visiting Bhutan or Nepal?
I'm interested in visiting both countries. Bhutan would be interesting, though I understand it is a bit expensive to go there and the tourist visa is fairly short. I visited Nepal a long time ago, and I did one of the more popular treks. It was a great experience, and I'd love to do it again.
#TheCyclingCanadian, mohinga is my favourite food and I'm glad that you're enjoying it. How was the tastes??😇😇
10:00 is stem of banana tree, not fish.
😁😁😂
Hi New Foodie, go try Shan Food at Inle Lake and give us your comments.
I've been hearing about Shan food (Shan noodles, right?). Eventually, I hope to try it out in my new capacity as a budding foodie. 🙂
I think there are more than just Shan Noodles 😋
It shapes like noodle but called rice stick because it's made of rice , noodle is made of flower . They should give you the fried beans because it tastes best with it for Mohinga. (Fried beans )(ပဲကြေ်) pronouns like (bet jaw) bet without consonant t but sounds a little longer beee jaw, and consonant b is soft nasal like p sound but heavier than p.
it is not fish, it is pith of the banana stem. You can't see fish I think mostly they crush it at all and make soup. 😊😊😊
I never liked Mohinga. but when you eat Mohinga next time, you definitely need Pel Kyaw (Deep fried bean) and Boo Thee Kyaw (Deep fried Opo squash). Don't eat at street shops. Mohinga at Yangon airport is pretty good. Here are some tips. For breakfast - Feel restaurant. (124 Pyidaungzu Yeiktha Street, Yangon), Garden Bistro, Royal Garden and there are plenty of good restaurants. But, you need someone local who have experienced all kind of restaurants. You can try all kind of Burmese food at Feel restaurant. For soup, I like Coconut chicken noodle soup (Ohn no kouk swell ) and Kyay O. If you like hot-pot, try Hot pot city or Shwe Kaung. For noodle, I like Chicken noodle (Nann Gyi Tote). For fruit, there are over 1000 different kind of mangoes. Try all kind of mangoes. Try mangosteen, custardvapple, rambutan, durian, etc. If you want to try Burmese-Chinese restaurant or roasted duck, try Golden duck or Western Park restaurant. They also have all different kind of food including deep fried eel. Most restaurants I mentioned above are not expensive. If you want to go to the beach, go to Nagapli or myeik archipelago. Try all kind of experiences.
I think you lost your bearing and got into a conventional teahouse.There're much more popular teahouses in Yangon.You missed the best one not far from your GH, the Lucky Seven Teashop in upper 49th St.You can try and enjoy savoury Burmese breakfast there.A Yangon famous mont-hin-gar outlet is Sanpya Daw Kyi at the corner of Maha Bandoola & Wadan Street.Dont lose these opportunities next time.
Thanks for the tips. I'll try to check out those places. 🙂
there is a arabic text on the menu there douglas. is that halal coffee shop? the workers look buddhist though
Yes, I believe it is a halal restaurant. I saw the word halal written in different places around the Asia Teahouse. There were several large mosques nearby, and so I think quite a few people in the neighborhood around my guest house were Muslim.
perhaps Asia Tea House is halal restaurant? cause i saw basmala(بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ) at the menu
Both Golden Tea House and Asia Tea house are halal restaurants.
It’s not fish buddy. It’s the spine of banana trunk.
Fish is in the soup already almost melted in it.
Hello Doug. Master of Myanmar #Vlogs.
Look similar like Laksa, esp Laksa Penang or Laksa Kedah
Hello ငါကျမန္မာကပါ🇲🇲
I wonder what happened to your trip to Mawlamyine 🤔
I managed to get a train ticket to Mawlamyine eventually. I just haven't had enough time to upload videos in real time. So I'm behind. My videos about Mawlamyine will pop up eventually. I'm currently just trying to catch up with all the video that I shot in Yangon. 🙂
@@PlanetDoug Take your time Doug! Have an amazing adventure in Mawlamyine.
It is a Fish Broth.
The one that you think you eat a fish is actually banana stem.
Granola with milk is going crazy? Hahaha, you're funny,,
I'm sure you know what mohinga is, Doug. Second time in Yangon?
I knew the name mohinga and that it was a national dish. That's how I recognized it on the menu on the wall. I had a vague memory of mohinga being some kind of noodle dish with fish. But that's about all I knew. I don't think I had mohinga at all on my first visit to Myanmar. I just wasn't paying much attention to food at that time. 🙂
How long have you been stayed in MYANMAR,?Are you still staying in myanmar now?
I've been in Myanmar for about one month. And, yes, I'm still here. I'm in Mawlamyine right now. My videos are a little bit behind my real life.
@@PlanetDoug After Mawlamyine I suggest you to visit
Hpa_an .It has many caves to explore..
@@PlanetDoug Doug, what are you going to do when your present visa runs out? Make a visa run to Bangkok again? I think you can extend your current visa at the Immigration office in Yangon for a few more days.
definitely keep the linear view ! i hate distortion.
I concur. I also don't like fish-eye effect.
I think I've kept the GoPro on linear view almost all the time since that day. I was surprised that even linear view was still quite wide. It's wide enough even for me, and it doesn't distort as much as the standard Wide view of the GoPro.
So I'm happy with linear view. 🙂
The one you ate is banana stem
10:10 is not fish bro, it's a slice of banana trunk.Min ga lar par
6:06 😁
I figured that out eventually. I had to go on the Internet and look up mohinga to find out about the ingredients. 😃
It is not fish ... It is banana shoot or inner part of banana tree
Myanmar
😘😘😘
🇲🇲😃😃😃😃👏👏👏
👍👍👍👌👌😄😄😄😄
That is banana plant, Doug. :D not fish.
It’s a banana stem not fish
Looks to me like tripe, but then you would smell it.
Banana stem someone said. I don’t like fish soups.
These pieces that you eat is banana stem
That not fish actually banana tree
think those are bamboo shoots, not fish
rice noddle
U just eating banana's leaf that you though about fish..
whoever caged those poor birds is a sadistic sob
They sell these birds at the temples. People buy them and set them free to gain merits. Buddhists like to free animals like fish,birds,and turtles.Its believed that by setting them free the person will be blessed with good fortune and sometimes they do it with the belief that they will have good health.
@@aroonburanasakorn5553 Very good Buddhist concept. However, in many cases the birds are trained to return to the cage so that other people can "free" them again. Clever business practice but yes, I don't believe any animal should be put in cages.
Sir all of myanmar traditional foods are very good and equal quality are only in mandalay because our king lived in mandalay in the past . So all of the technicians are in mandalay . Now there are a lot of their generations in mandalay . Even manipurist astologers generations are in mandalay . You should try myanmar traditional foods in mandalay . You will defenitely get high quality . You don`t need to ask which shops are good in mandalay . You just ramdom eat .
Lol.. stop beeing condescending, Mandalay Thaw Thar.
It’s no vegetable, it’s tripe
Btw are you UK ????
🤨😠
No, I am not from the UK. I am from Canada.
