The Best Burmese Food in New York City is Hidden in a Mall

[@Jamesnu]

That was quite a feast! I'm full just watching this. It looked great though!

[@Fufski]

It was great! And indeed more food than I can handle 😂

[@salempasangasp]

Fun fact kahou swe thoke and a few other dishes are even found in smaller parts in southern India even today. And it's one of my all time fav

[@hgoldy]

Hopefully I can go and try it. Thanks.

[@Fufski]

You'll enjoy it!

[@NoahEats]

Wow, lots of food. You can do alot of reviews in the food court!

[@Fufski]

Yep if I find more interesting food I will give them a try!

[@yanko5953]

Delicious 😋

[@JenzoVR]

where’s my mohinga? 🤤😋

[@Fufski]

They did not have Mohinga by the time of the shoot. Hopefully by now they have put that on the menu since it's the de facto national dish Myanmar.

13:36 did you malfunction bro? 😂

[@Fufski]

Haha it took me a bit to process that 😂

The pickles are called Shan Pickles and i think Chinese immigrants brought to Burma during War in Early 20 Century. History Class : We fought Thailand so many times in the early times and We had influenced by Thailand and Thailand influenced by Burma. And also France and Portugal fought Burmese Royal and lost. Later they had been transferred to Cannon Unit. Some of Myanmar regions have Portuguese genetic look. Australia has a great relationship with Shan. With Chinese, we fought not too much time but when china was in War, Chinese flea to Burma. They sell food on the street and save money. During Late 18's Burmese Royal had detained by British Army and send to India and also Indian King had brought by the army to Burma. Indian soldiers served in the Burma British Army. They brought the way how to use spices 😂. The Burmese master the dishs to the next lvl.

[@Fufski]

Interesting, it's good to learn those history! And yes, I think there is some Portuguese presence in Thanlyin and there is a church remain (I know, how would I know this 😂). I even saw an Armenian church in Yangon. The mix is amazing!

[@SteveQwapz]

@@Fufski yes. Many of them still live in this area. Thanlyin has so many colonial buildings and the royal era's buildings.

All the dishes looks delicious & they gave you a lot. The bitter melon dish is usually eaten with rice to taste better. I have to say Burmese do not eat with chop sticks. Most Burmese eat with their fingers or with fork & spoon. Nevertheless it's a good commentary video.

[@Fufski]

Yes I realized that Burmese don't usually use chopsticks during my trip there. They even eat noodle with spoon only, honestly I don't know how is that possible. But there are also a lot of Chinese (by descent) there and they do use chopsticks.

[@davidbatin1699]

@@Fufski You are absolutely right. The Local Chinese there are all Burmanized. They hardly use fork or chop sticks to eat noodles either. You probably notice many local girls wear a sun screen called Thanaka made from tree bark on their faces.

​@@Fufski I'm Burmese and I've been to this exact spot. It's not the best Burmese food. But because there's little Burmese restuarants in general, it maybe is the best in NYC. The ohno khao swe was a little too salty

[@airlight7173]

Oooh mami!

[@frankmastromauro5630]

Good video

[@Fufski]

Thanks!

Looks like a great meal! I enjoyed how you explained that falooda originated in Persia and spread across Asia. 🤎🤎🤎

[@Fufski]

Thanks! I always like to include a snippet of cultural information whenever I can.

[@linaung2006]

I'll go eat.

[@Fufski]

Enjoy the food!

[@luacino]

[@areebachewa8318]

Their food is not as tasty and maybe you need check others Burmese to really taste the difference

[@Fufski]

There really aren't a lot of Burmese places in NYC. And this year I've traveled to Myanmar 3 times and ate there quite extensively. And I'll say some of their dishes are on par with the best I've had in Myanmar.

[@yasu_x5931]

That place is ass
