Trapped in a Storm THANKS to these AMAZING Burmese Curry Noodles (Mae Sot, Thailand)

[@Arizona74Frog]

Beautiful views and what an awesome meal and experience. The meal looked so delicious 😋 thanks for sharing hope you are well. I loved the trees near the temple and the views at the end with those pastel colors were breathtaking.be blessed

[@JoelsTastyRide]

So good Jennifer, yeah the big-sky country of Tak, I havent been to Montana but I just kept thinking "Hmm is this the Asian version of Montana?" It was like this almost every day. Pouring rain ALMOST the entire day, except for incredible and amazing gaps where the sun shone through so brightly! Lucky enough, this one turned out to be happening right when I was rolling away from that amazing restaurant... so I hurried to get out of town where I could see things a little better. Have a wonderful day today, much love to you Jennifer. Always happy seeing your comments, and always appreciate you taking the time to watch pretty much every single thing that I upload.

[@minniec.9127]

Thank you so much for sharing and showing this beautiful experience from a Burmese enclave in Thailand. I thoroughly enjoyed the video. I'm glad you paid 200 bht for the meal instead of 50 what the ladies asked for. Kindness, generosity and hospitality are priceless. Peace be with you, brother Joel. Take care.

[@zillionx]

You are probably one of the most wholesome eating channels on KZbin. We all need this kind of positivity in these trying times! Good luck for the future Joel and hope you can spread your positivty to many more subscribers.

[@robertbessler5513]

So awesome!!! Love the diversity in culture, food and scenery.... what a hidden away treasure.

Hi Joel, I’m Burmese. Happy to see you enjoy our national dish mohinga. Mohinga is made from catfish, Chana Dal, roasted ground rice, lemongrass etc. Also we garnish it with yu tiao, boiled duck egg and chana Dal fritter (not corn), fishcake, coriander, lime and chili flakes.

[@gloriaceceliaweber8083]

[@JoelsTastyRide]

You are so welcome Mimi, welcome here, AND so welcome for this small video today. That entire community could have kept me there for weeks, it was amazing. Truly it is THE reason I travel, to have the chance to find myself lost in little places like that. These are the memories I take back with me from every trip, almost never do I remember the 'Big Viewpoint' or the 'Famous Historical Item,' but I never ever forget the single hot cup of plain tea I shared with a person I met along the way.

May you be forever Blessed ! your friend, Ron B.

Thanks so much Alexandra, always happy to see you enjoying these. Ahhh what a day.... hey thanks for the greetings to Li, she usually reads all these before I do so Im sure one of those Thumbs UP on your comment is from her :)

[@pannachaw9492]

When Asian people laugh at you, I think most of the time it's a compliment. They appreciate the fact that the "Farang" puts an effort to try to speak the language, even though the accent usually off the mark by...oh...I don't know, a mile? I can't speak for ALL Asian people, but I know my family and I always laugh "at" Ms. Rose, a lady who is taking care of my mother. Every time Ms. Rose attempts to speak Thai, my bedridden mother (due to a massive stroke), just burst out laughing. Mom finds Ms. Rose's effort to be...endearing, and Ms. Rose finds it hilarious herself, for making my mother laugh. Joel has nearly mastered Thai Language here. His accent & effort is quite impressive. Blessings to you as well, Alexandra (one of my favorite Christian names, btw), and to Joel, Li, and all his subscribers. Stay safe!

Joel, you're absolutely right. So many interpret unplanned events like rain as a problem when it could simply be the universe turning the page for you. You see that. I'm glad you were so open to this event and just letting things shape around you. I no longer let these "rain" moments change me, I actually look forward to what might happen afterwards that might not have otherwise occurred if not for the "rain". Love these vids! Those noodles look so flavorful btw.

What an awesome video where the observer (me) is also being blessed 🙏 . Your observations are profound, your interaction with the ladies brought forth how kind human beings are and that magnificent flow/energy/universe/God within All brought forth your experience as a Blessing/lesson for all! 🙏🏼🌍🙏🏼 Thank you bright soul!

Giving bananas as gesture of goodwill is vv nice. Just like Filipino tradition. I really admire you when you do that.😊

[@JoelsTastyRide]

😊 thank you Kim, always cool seeing you here!! Yea those were a pretty bunch of bananas, I hope they know how much I enjoyed spending time at their home and restaurant. Oh wow. I miss them still today!!

[@TM-zp1dc]

I hope you will do more of these border regions and explore how the neighboring countries effect them. There is another place up north near Tachileik in Myanmar. It would be awesome if you can cover that area as well.

[@JoelsTastyRide]

ITMI appreciate this message and yes, as you get to know me more you will learn that these are the regions of the world that I try to visit the most. I love them, my heart and thoughts are always full of memories of these and also looking forward to the next time that I can visit and be in situations like this people are always the most real

Great video Joel that was definitely where you were suppose to eat, lovely people. You have a beutiful soul, safe travels ❤

[@reijikusaka]

Great journey Joel!!! It's been more than a week since I checked your videos due to a suddenly busy schedule. The corn fritters looks like a comfort appetizer during the rainy day with that soup-like sauce. It looks deep-fried and more 'pulpy' than the one we have here in Java, though. Here the corn would be mashed into wet dough consistency while some pulps stay whole and fried together. But not as crispy as the one you have there. The noodles seems great too. I never had Burmese dishes but it seems like the Burmese like spicy and peppery food too. Thank you for the amazing experience! :D

[@JoelsTastyRide]

Whoa, Agung!!! Great to hear from you, good to see you here!! Best of luck with your busy schedule, thank you SO much for taking the time to catch up with me here (watching the latest video) and taking the time to write me too!! Thank you!! Yeah, wow, the soup-sauce, haha I couldnt tell which one it was, but it made good for BOTH sipping and dipping, now thats a genius food creation right there!! Would love to come and hang out with you in Java someday man, I am sure the culture, and food culture, you have there is incredible, and definitely one-of-a-kind!

[@MaikeVogtLueerssen]

Thank you, dear Joel, for this wonderful video!!! The dishes looked so delicious!!!! Much love, Maike

I AM SO GLAD YOU ENJOY BURMESE FOODS .

[@_sonexay]

Saibaidee Joel! Awesome food find. There's a saying "the universe tends to unfold as it should," so I think you were at the right place, right time.

[@JoelsTastyRide]

Sonexay!! Maaaaan whats up? Thanks again for taking time to tune in to the livestream, always get a boost of motivation when I see your chat pop up :). no pressure haha, I know the time different can get in the way sometimes. The universe unfolding, yes for sure! Thankfully in this case it was pretty clear to me, I was so lucky in this situation to have the time to go back the next day AND have good weather the next day!! To at least and do the beautiful little place a bit more justice. Love places like this man, love it. Thank you for your messages always man, hope Monday is a good one for you today!

[@_sonexay]

@@JoelsTastyRide same to you man (well it's probably Tuesday already)! That fried papaya dish was intriguing to me since you said it reminded you of Som Tum.

[@danusmc3]

Haven't spoken in a while, brother Joel. But I'm so sick of the food here in America (and the service). I am trying to lose weight, and so much here is just unnatural. I gained weight when I got Gout, and couldn't move much for a year. Changed my diet, but now I have pre-diabetes. And I have to find a way to change it again, and it hits hard in the bank account. It's so frustrating. I'm getting to the point where I can exercise more, but walking is still hard, but can't afford a bike. Anyway...enough of my woes. I'm glad to be able to speak again (send you a message). Hope to see you in the future, bro. Be safe and keep the videos coming. You're truly an inspiration!!!! Blessings!!!

[@JoelsTastyRide]

Daniel! Oh man, I am reading your message and sending up some prayers man, this is a really, really testing situation you are living in right now. Living through!! I am lucky to still have you coming back here, to watch, and to write me, lucky to have you supporting me! I did not study nutrition, but I read a LOT (and I mean books and research journals, not just searching 'Google' for dietary advice), and I also just use myself as a long-term and occasionally rigorous experiment... so I have learned a little over all these years so far - and if there's any specific questions you have, please ask. I am sure I could learn from you as well, and I would be so happy if there's anything Ive learned that could help you as well (you mentioned it being expensive to eat healthy, I have specifically made myself lists of ways to be 'healthy on a budget,' maybe some of these would be useful to you (you mentioned a few other restrictions, so you would have to let me know so that I can make recommendations that are actually useful to YOU, not just 'useful in general.') Thank you so much for taking the time to write me today man. Its awesome, thanks for watching these videos as well!

[@pannachaw9492]

I find myself falling in love with Joel, not in the THOU SHALL NOT... kind of love. I think it's his genuine openness, optimism, and appreciation to everything and everyone he meets, make me "love" who he is. At first glance at his clip, I found him to be rather boring ( I have ADD), but once I calm down and just watch, his clips are actually enjoyable, entertaining, and informative. Keep up the good work, Joel. Be blessed.

[@weekdaycycling]

I can’t imagine how the taste is like but the way you finished your dishes has ensure me that it would be so tasty.

5:20 Lol, I live in the high desert in Colorado, and I love the sound of the rain on the roof! Probably not as great when it rains a lot, though, as I used to live in Oregon and didn't like it so much then.

Very cool Michelle, thank you for sharing! I am imagining that right now. Wow. I have been to Denver several times, and as far North as CO Springs, and then as far West as Breckinridge. Are any of these places near you?

Glad you've tried the taste of Myanmar "Mohingha". It's actually not vegetarian unless it's prepared differently in Mae Sot. It's made with fish meat stock, lemon grace, rice, and bean flour, ground pepper, garlic, onions, chili powder, and fish sauce. My hats off to you Joel!
