After an unbelievable first day in Bhutan, I was ready to do it all again on day two! Come along with me as I try more chili loaded Bhutanese food and go back to the Punakha Cultural Festival!
My morning began at the Drubchhu Resort in Punakha, where I enjoyed a spicy breakfast of egg curry, a chili salsa called ezay, and fried rice. The egg curry was light, like a watered-down soup-like curry, but it was full of flavor! It wasn’t too hot, though.
The fried red rice (which also contained chilies) was amazing with the curry. The ezay was unreal. It was like a spicy veggie salad with cheese. I added more curry over the rice, which was amazing. It doesn’t get more traditional than this here in Bhutan! I could taste the influences from both India and China in the food.
I also got some suja, which is salty butter tea, and some black coffee with no sugar.
Then, I met up with Tsheten and Nidup from MyBhutan to head to the festival! On the way, I got out of the car to get an amazing view of the two rivers meeting in the foreground, with the fortress behind them.
Then, we continued on to the fortress. Across from it was a pop-up mini market that sells food and souvenirs to people visiting the festival. I could see peanuts, noodles, wine containers, and more!
Inside the fortress, I got to see several traditional music and dance performances where the performers wore beautiful, colorful costumes and masks. There were about 3,000-4,000 spectators. There was a section for tourists to watch from, and the rest of the fortress was for locals.
Tsheten took me to the monastic area, which is mainly for the monks. There are about 400-500 monks living there. The architecture was stunning and extremely colorful. There were vibrant depictions of dragons, snow lions, and more carved everywhere, as well as script in Sanskrit. There’s an on-site shrine and a temple and golden doors, through which they coronated Bhutan’s first king in December of 1907.
Inside the main shrine is a statue of the Buddha and the unifier who unified Bhutan, who was a Tibetan scholar.
Then, we headed to get some lunch at the resort, which consisted of dried beef with chilies and rice noodles, an ema dashti made from red chilies, cauliflower with cheese, and white rice from India. The broth from the ema dashti was super spicy!
The dried beef with noodles super chewy but full of fat and flavor. The ema dashti was really good as well and not as hot as the one with green chilies. I also loved the cauliflower. The cheese was almost completely liquid, so it wasn’t gooey at all.
I suggest mixing the ema dashti with the rice, which is so good! I also went back for more beef with noodles, which was way more tender than my first bite. These chilies aren’t hot right away. They sneak up on you and make your lips tingle! The green chilies are way too hot, though!
I also loved that Bhutanese cuisine contained a lot of vegetables. The cauliflower was my favorite. The ema dashti was better than yesterday’s because it wasn’t nearly as hot. The dried beef was good, but it was a little too tough and rubbery for me. If you love veg and spice, this is the country for you!

✌️
David, this guide is really knowledgeable...and again a great video..❤️
Oh yeah!
thank you Kim!
I found Bhutan's living style building design and food (buttertea, ara rice wine) very much similar to Tawang, Northeast India..... This episode actually gives me a flashback of Tawang memories....
Bhutan is so colourful and it’s architecture is amazing.
I can feel the chilly effect in his mouth. This is the real Bhutanese Speciality and Uniqueness.
After all that heat, u could breathe fire. Dragon spitting fire.
Love how you eat chili .🌶 😍Our Bhutanese food is incomplete without chili 🌶
Makes me want to be a Rockstar Eater in Bhutan!
Seems like chili is incomplete without the food at your place
The food looks delicious 😋
sooooo good!
Even though they eat so many veggies,I wonder how long longevity is withl that butter,an cheese is.
One trick with the egg curry, take the yolk out and mix it with the gravy, it makes it super creamy and tasty

Watching at 1.75 slowed down to normal for the base pipe sounds - perfect tone for the consequences of eating too much chilli peppers in the food
Hello David,, had you tried Naga chillies.? On today lunch I had one and tomorrow I’ll going to know what will be happened with me.!!
8:11 That's tongba vessel. Nepal & Bhutan are kinda at same elevation, but we don't put that amount of chili in our food. Our one is kinda milder then 😁
Love the food

Guess he's still shitting chillies in miami😛
Bhutan dishes don't have spices like cumin, coriander powder or garam masala (all spice).. If they do, it is an Indian dish.. Bhutan dishes are quite similar to Tibetan, bland, except they add much chillies in their dishes.
If you have noticed Bhutanese dishes doesn't have much or no spices. Rather it is the chilli which is hitting you. You should see how the meat and datse/cheese dishes are made. They don't fry it... Enjoy 🥵
Shocked ,... he is literally eating red chilli
I've done it before. I had the spiciest Thai curry in LA a few months ago! Was never the same again.
why so shocked :)
Spicy ones in South india are Guntur chillies u can't eat them like this
How does your stomach do with so many spicy dishes every meal?
Hope you have medical insurance. You might need it..😂😂
Until and unless he is in Bhutan... He is fine... He doesn't need medical insurance to be treated in Bhutan.
Kia seltos wow
It is sportage 😀😀😀 not seltos
Never slurp any spicy broth/soup it hits your nasal cavity causing cough and sneeze ok
I like you spirit, you are always pumped to explore culture and food. Keep doing it 🤝
Hot chili is best
Since when did Bhutanese food start to have Indian type egg curry? Last time Mark Wiens visited, it was all authentic Bhutanese - and all they had was red rice, ema datzi, ezay, veggies with cheese in every thing...
Because there are many Indian hotels there, maybe they serve mixed of both.
Omg, u eat lots of chilly more then Asians. Unbelievable
I see a lot of masks .... have you traveled during the pandemic? 😂
Fun fact, the first Coronavirus patient in Bhutan (a 72-year-old American man) was in that same cultural festival he went to
everyone who came in contact with that man was quarantined and I believe everyone except his wife tested negative
Do you think Bhutan is more spicy than India?
I have eaten indian food and they are not that spicy compared to bhutan..bhutan food will literally burn your mouth, tummy and butt 😂..cos it's all chilli chilli and chilli haha..Hope you get to taste bhutan food so you can know how spicy it is.have a good day
Re-upload?
Never ever go to pakistan....
Why?
FIRST
You insulted SANSKRIT. Thats one of the oldest language. It’s not mandarin, learn that A----!,
That white simple half tshirts your asking 1,822.19 rs what a jock if we buy our own tshirt and copy your print than it will only cost us 250 rs....David pls change thoes prices..its too high the peoples who watch your videos are the normal middle class peoples who desire to live a life like you this peoples can't effort 1822.19 rs tshirt.
Can our people (brown and black) also travel to your country and enjoy the culture and the food without being harassed or looked down upon? I didn't think so. You act like you belong everywhere and every place in the world is yours to conquer , yet, i dare to say, that you would not like it if foreigners (brown and black people) would act the same way like you do in your country.
Tourist hotels, tourist food. What the Bhutanese eat is even hotter. And eating curry with fork? And knife?
