[@EatPraySmoke]

Wow I’ve been wanting to visit Kyrgyzstan forever 🇰🇬

[@deancapewell8927]

I miss all these dishes so much, can't wait to return to Bishkek.

[@ko____trades]

Navat is definitely my favorite restaurant in Bishkek, that boso lagman! Incredible food at incredibly cheap prices. Great vid!

[@MattandJulia]

The boso laghman especially was just heavenly! 😍 Thank you!

[@toprakbulut7964]

Depends on branch on at Togolok Moldo street the best

[@Direwolf_Gamer]

You guys are just so natural at this, a seamless transition from travel vlogging to a foodie vlogging For-Matt 🤨 not just having a meal as you travel around but actual facts and flavours ingredients and history of dishes. I remember the plov video you're right it really was mesmerizing to watch cooking on that scale. Awesome 🥨

[@MattandJulia]

Thank you so much DireWolf, really appreciate it 🥰

You show the food which I really appreciate. I also like your descriptions. Some food channels don't actually say what it tastes like and I can taste it when you say it. Thank you!

Wow guys!!! The food in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan looked sooo goood. Harriet and I watched your food vlog while we were eating and said "look at the junk we're eating. What a Foodie Heaven. Matt and Julia, you did a wonderful job showcasing one of the many reasons ,why we should visit Kyrgyzstan.😍😍 Julia, that laugh is irresistible, don't ever lose it. Matt your so informative. Another fine vlog. Sending you lots of love💖💖 Harriet and Jim. Richmond, Va.

Thank you so much guys! 🤗 So glad you enjoyed it! Will never lose the laugh I promise 😁😃❤️

[@SamanthaWritesThings]

I loved this! I've been learning so much about Central Asian food through your recent videos and it's really REALLY speaking to me. I love how there are so many varied influences but they made their dishes uniquely their own (reminds me of Filipino food in that respect, actually!). I need to try making some now.

[@MattandJulia]

Thank you so much Samantha, over the moon that we have had the opportunity to show you this amazing region and its food 😍🥰❤️

Ive actually sat in that same seat you were in many times LOL! I always get Mastava with Lagman and as much Borsok I can fit in my stomach.

Production on that opening was beautiful. Very well done. One thing I think would be great is for Julia to have a little microphone. Sometimes when Matt is filming she can be hard to hear. Matt doesn't need a mic his voice projects perfectly.

Food feast! The red soup with dumplings, and dill made noodles, looks very starchy. Interesting no cheeses. Thank you for the super interesting meals!!!

[@MattandJulia]

So glad you enjoyed it Lucy! Definitely very starchy! There is a lot of cheese in Central Asia but is more due to the Russian influence as opposed to their traditional cuisines 😊

Hi guys👋 We're really enjoying to see your channel!! Love the way you describe all your journey and delicious food they have!! 👏👏👏👍💖 Every time we're watching you eating theirs food,, we want run to one of our Uzbeki restaurant and order the same dishes😁 I am originally born in Tashkent, but when I been a child, my family 👪 immigrated to Israel at 1979 during the Soviet Union time. Since then, I never had a chance to go back and visit my city. Me & my daughter love to travel as well! I wrote you before, we recently visited at Moscow, and now we're planning this year to go there. I think, the Uzbeki food is the best 👌!. My favorite dish it's a Plov and Manti and Chebureki and my daughter loves Lagman and Uzbeki Lepeoshki bread👍

I can’t pick one dish! 😂 I love dumplings though, fried are yummy but steamed are my favorite! Drooooolingggg!

Love the food tours! In Kyrgyzstan, other than dumplings, is there much of anything for non-meat-eaters?

[@MattandJulia]

There are lots of salads but they are more 'side dishes' as opposed to entire meals in themselves. There are things like the pumpkin dumplings, but on the whole it is an incredibly meat heavy cuisine :)

By the way guyz. Kyrgystan, Azerbaijani Turkmenistan, Usbekistan etc. are all turkic people. So the cuisine is the same. It all belongs to one turkish cuisine. ;)

[@MattandJulia]

Kazakhs are also Turkic 😊 The cuisine of all Turkic people is amazing and incredibly varied, some similarities, like the Kebabs (Shashlik) but also many differences, like the Manti in Central Asia, that are the size of a hand, whereas the Turkish Manti which are very small and eaten with a tomato sauce 😍 All of these dishes have one big thing in common though, they are incredible!! 😍❤️

You guys need to invest in a better way to mix your voices, or start doing voice overs? So hard to understand and hear you. Video is great tho. Sorry. Don't mean to be critical. I love your videos. Love you both. How did u meet? I'm new. From the high desert of California. In Living ghost/gold mining town from 1880s I have big interest in Russian living and cuisines. I'm a retired Chef but am loving your treks. I realize your filming can be limited to areas as some are very secluded and not all have high tech,...if any? I Do get that. Are you married or? Beautiful colors. I just made Borscht first time because of you guys. Wow! Its involved. So very involved!!!! Its just NOT a dish you whip up. It's got color, love, emmotion!!! Horse meat? How is that really? What does it compare to? Liver? Sirloin? Tougher? London Broil? Venison? Elk? RABBIT? rat? Lol kidding.
