Bangkok to Bhutan - AMAZING First Bhutanese Food Meal in Thimphu! (Day 1)
►Subscribe for more videos:
Bhutan Food and Travel Guide - Day 1: My wife and I flew from Bangkok to Paro, Bhutan on Druk Air. We landed in Paro, and it was about an hour taxi ride to get to Thimphu, which is the largest city in Bhutan, and where we were going to base ourselves.
After getting settled into the My Bhutan house, we headed out to the Thimphu Farmers Market, a local produce market.
Bhutanese food lunch at Kalden Restaurant - For my first ever Bhutanese food meal, we headed over to Kalden Restaurant, a local restaurant in Thimphu. We ordered ema-datse, which is the Bhutanese food national dish of chilies and cheese, plus a number of other cheese dishes, which we ate over rice. It was an amazing first Bhutanese meal.
Indian vegetarian food dinner at New Grand Restaurant - We ordered a spread of dishes including aloo ghobi, and one of my personal favorite, chili paneer.
It was an amazing first day, flying from Bangkok to Paro, Bhutan, and then on to Thimphu. I was blown away by my first Bhutanese food meal!

On Day 10 of our Bhutan food and travel trip, we were back in Thimphu for a couple days. For lunch we headed to Momo Corner, a famous restaurant that serves some of the best momos in Thimphu, Bhutan.

Momos are the Himalayan version of dumplings, available from Tibet to Nepal to India and they are very popular in Bhutan. The momos and the atmosphere at Momo Corner was fantastic.

►Subscribe for more videos:
On Day 5 of our trip to Bhutan, we had a huge Sikkimese food lunch, and it turned out to be one of the best meals I ate in Thimphu.
The Art Cafe - For breakfast we first stopped off at The Art Cafe to have breakfast and some Bhutanese fried rice. The coffee was served in a huge mug.
Musk Restaurant - Musk restaurant is located right in the heart of Thimphu, Bhutan. The owner is from Sikkim in India, and she serves home cooked style Sikkimese food that has Nepali and Bhutanese influence. She’s an amazing lady, and her cooking shines. All the dishes we tried at Musk Restaurant were delicious, but I especially enjoyed the chili filled dishes and the home-made chili pickle.
Bhutan Orchid Restaurant - For dinner we went to a Bhutanese food restaurant called Bhutan Orchid Restaurant. The food was quite typical Bhutanese food but overall quite good.
The highlight of the day for me was the amazing Sikkimese food at Musk Restaurant.

MASSIVE Bhutanese Food Dinner - 15+ Spicy Dishes! + Sightseeing in Thimphu | Bhutan
???? MyBhutan:
???????? Visit Bhutan:
???? WATCH: More Bhutan Episodes -
My fifth day in Bhutan continued with another outstanding afternoon and evening in the capital city, Thimphu. Come along with me as I enjoy a massive, mouthwatering Bhutanese food dinner of over 15 spicy dishes after I do some sightseeing around Thimphu, Bhutan!
My guide from MyBhutan, Tsheten, started at the National Memorial Chhorten, which was built in the memory of His Majesty the Third Druk Gyalpo Jigme Dorji Wangchuk.
The stupa is surrounded by green grounds and there are 10 prayer wheels to the left. Mostly elderly people come there to pray. The stupa is beautiful and has five golden spires on it. I could hear chanting inside as we walked in a circle around it.
From there, we hopped back in the car and headed to a field where they practice archery. Here, they shoot at targets from 140 meters away using professional compound bows. There was a sharpshooter there who hit the target from that distance!
Then, we headed over to the post office, where you can customize your own stamp and buy postcards. It costs 500 Nu/$6.67 USD to make your own stamp from any photo on your phone. The postcards cost 30 Nu/$0.40 USD each. For 40 Nu/$0.53, you can send the postcard anywhere in the world! I sent three: one to my wife and one each to my two daughters.
Next, we headed to Coronation Park, which is home to a tall, gilded, standing Buddha made in the Thai style. It’s right next to the Wangchu River and stands on a golden lotus.
Then, we headed to the downtown area. The buildings were mostly shops on the bottom floor, with restaurants, bars, and other businesses on the second floors. The third floors are mostly residential.
Next, it was time for dinner at the Folk Heritage Museum Restaurant. They give you starters before the main meal, including suja (butter tea), ara, cucumber salad with cow cheese, veggie momos, pork feet, ezay, and puffed rice.
I started with the suja with puffed rice in it. I liked this butter tea because it wasn’t so buttery, and I really enjoyed the puffed rice!
Then, I went with the phenomenal veggie momos with spicy ezay, a sip of ara, and cucumber salad with the ezay. Then, I had the gelatinous, fatty, and bony pig feet with ezay. The alcohol helped temper the heat. The cucumber salad and cow cheese reminded me of a Greek dish with feta. I also loved the cabbage inside the momos.
Next, we had some light mushroom broth, red rice, 9 grain salad, bitter buckwheat pancakes, mixed vegetables, ema dashti made with dried red chilies and cheese, dried pork, chicken, dried beef with radish, kewa dashti (potatoes with cheese), French beans, and chili salsa. I couldn’t wait to dive in!
Tsheten made my plate for me. I tried the buckwheat pancake with some ezay in it. It was like a Bhutanese taco. It was so good and spicy and opened up my sinuses! It wasn’t that bitter. Then, I went for the radish, which was nice and spicy as well.
The cauliflower in the mixed vegetables was good, as were the long beans. The chili salsa was great, and the ema dashti was made from bird’s eye chilies from India. The cheese melted throughout was so amazing!
Then, I went for the kewa dashti, or potatoes with cheese. I tried it with the ezay on top. It was hot! Next was the chicken and buckwheat. The buckwheat was great! The dried beef was like a super dense beef jerky. But the ema dashti was the best! I also loved the fatty pork! What a meal! It was the best I’d had so far in Bhutan!

Bhutan Travel and Food - HUGE Burger in Thimphu! (Day 4)
►Subscribe for more videos:
On Day 4 of our Bhutan travel and food trip, we had an amazing burger and then watched a Bhutan football game.
Coffee Culture - One of the best cafes in central Thimphu, Bhutan is called Coffee Culture, and along with coffee they serve some pretty good food. What I loved the most was their cheese filled momos.
Cloud 9 Gourmet Burgers - One of the things that surprised me about Thimphu is how much international food and restaurants there are even for such a small town. Cloud 9 Gourmet Burgers specializes in burgers and I had a huge burger that was pretty impressive. It was awesome.
By luck, Bhutan had a World Cup qualifying match, and so we had the honor to attend. It was amazing to see the energy and culture of attending a game in Bhutan.

The World's Most Dangerous Approach - Paro, Bhutan
Join me on a flight with Bhutan Airlines (Tashi Air) A319 from Kathmandu to Paro, Bhutan. Paro Airport is situated in between mountains and valleys at 7,332 ft above sea level. The approach is well considered as one of the most dangerous and most spectacular in the world. Check out the amazing landing footage.
In addition, the flight also flew across many top 10 mountains in the world include Mt Everest.
-------
Join us for a spectacular and thrilling, up close, documentary look at the world’s most dangerous airport landing at Paro airport in Bhutan. Make sure you watch all the way to the end of the video to catch the sped up, bird’s eye view of the fabulous and graceful twisting and turning of the aeroplane on its approach to the landing strip of Paro airport, the sole international airport of Bhutan located six kilometres from Paro in a very deep valley on the bank of the river Paro Chhu, and how the runway suddenly appears from nowhere. It takes a real aviation expert and a very steady hand to make a safe landing at Paro airport!
In this video, we fly from Kathmandu airport in Nepal to Paro airport in Bhutan using Bhutan airlines. After a brief look inside Kathmandu airport’s executive airport lounge, we board our flight and meet the chief pilot of Bhutan airlines – we’re in safe hands; only a handful of trained captains are qualified and certified to land at Paro airport and it takes a minimum of eight to ten years of intensive training to become a captain.
We examine the runway at Kathmandu airport which is very bumpy and, interestingly, has no taxiways to the main runway, necessitating the use of some tricky manoeuvres and, needless to say, keen attention paid to air traffic control.
The flight is only forty minutes long but the flight is still packed with events and sights. In the video, we see most of the top ten highest mountains in the world within the Himalayas including Mount Makalu, Mount Lhotse and the tallest of all, Mount Everest. We also see the mountains of Bhutan within the Himalayan mountain range including Jomolhari and Jitchu Drake. The pictures of the snow capped mountains of the Himalayas are breath taking and we hear the captain’s opinions of why he thinks there is less snow now than there was in previous years.
We also enjoy lunch with champagne on board and we enjoy sharing a specially made cake with the Bhutan airlines crew to celebrate our travelling with them to the legendary Paro airport of Bhutan.
Paro airport is surrounded by mountains as high as 5500 metres and only has a single runway of length 1964 metres. Its single terminal was constructed in 1999 and it is a hub for two airlines: Bhutan airlines and Druk Air. Paro airport is such a difficult airport to land in that it can only be used in visual meteorological conditions and operational hours are restricted to daylight hours between sunrise and sunset.
You really won’t want to miss this video focusing on the world’s most challenging airport to land at. Let us know in the comments what you thought of the scenery and the whole experience and, as always, thanks for watching!

Crazy SPICY BHUTANESE FOOD + Buddhist Monastery Hike | Thimphu, Bhutan
???? MyBhutan:
???????? Visit Bhutan:
???? WATCH: More Bhutan Episodes -
My adventures in Bhutan continued on the morning of my sixth day in the country’s capital city, Thimphu. Join me as I dive even further into the world of crazy spicy Bhutanese food and go on a Buddhist monastery hike in Thimphu, Bhutan!
My day began at Typical Bhutanese Restro & Bar in the center of the city to have a traditional, local breakfast. I met up with my guide from MyBhutan, Tsheten, and entered the small and cozy restaurant.
On the table, I could see some ezay (spicy chili salsa), dried beef, rice, scrambled eggs, and ngaja (milk tea). The dried beef was tough but really nice. I also liked the rice with chilies, which was super spicy! I used the milk tea to calm down the heat. I like it a lot more than the suja, which is traditional butter tea.
The eggs were oily and the heat from the ezay really hit me hard. It was the spiciest ezay I’d had in Bhutan so far! The rice and ngaja helped to cool it down. The trick to getting through the beef is letting it sit in your mouth and letting it soak up your saliva to soften it up.
Then, we packed up some food from the restaurant to have for lunch later, and left to go on our hike! We drove 30 minutes north to Jigme Dorji National Park. Along the way, we saw a huge, beautiful, colorful Buddha that was painted on the side of a huge rock.
Then, we crossed a beautiful wooded bridge over the river, passed a temple, and began our hike up the mountain! It was intense and the path was really rocky. Halfway through out hike, we reached a stupa, which marks the halfway point of the hour-long hike.
We made it to the monastery in just 45 minutes! The monastery was under renovation. In the area, there’s a small hut that’s used as a meditation house.
You can’t film in the temple, but you can film the amazing views over the valley! Near the rooms for the monks were 108 prayer wheels. Further on, we passed the place where the monks were meditating, so we had to be quiet. We continued on up a steep staircase to the very top of the monastery.
Inside the building at the very top is where Ngawang Namgyal, the unifier, meditated for three years, three months, three weeks, and three days. We admired the view of the valley, river, university, meditation huts, and the monastery before taking a quick, 15-minute trip back down the mountain.
From there, we’d drive 3 minutes to a spot along the river for a Bhutanese picnic lunch.
We arrived at a small stupa with a little, covered picnic area by the river. It was super relaxing and had prayer flags fluttering in the wind all around.
We got some rice, ema dashti made from Indian chilies, cabbage, dried beef with squash and chilies, wet beef, and beans. I used some hand sanitizer and dug in with my hands for a more traditional feel.
The beans were light and creamy and the dry red chilies were great but not spicy. Then, I went for the dried beef, which was dry but a little moist on the outside, almost like beef jerky. The wet beef with chilies was a little too tender for me. The chilies weren’t hot at first but I started felt it later. But it was nowhere near as hot as breakfast!

►Subscribe for more videos:
If there’s one Bhutanese food restaurant you have to eat at when you’re in Bhutan it’s the Folk Heritage Museum Restaurant. This was probably the best Bhutanese food meal that I had in all of Bhutan. The food and the knowledge of Bhutanese culture was amazing.
Folk Heritage Museum Restaurant - They also have a museum, but the best reason to come here is for their restaurant. They aim to really preserve traditional Bhutan culture and food. Even though I had been in Bhutan for almost two weeks already, I tried some very unique Bhutanese dishes at Folk Heritage Museum Restaurant and also got a lesson on how to eat traditional Bhutanese food. This is one of the world’s greatest Bhutanese restaurants and preservations of Bhutanese culture in Thimphu.
Here are some of the main Bhutanese dishes we ate:
Suja - herbal butter tea
Sweet buckwheat
Bitter buckwheat noodles
Dried fiddlehead ferns
Roasted barley dough
Bamboo shoots and fermented beans
Dried beef with fermented yak cheese
Sikam paa - dried pork with chilies
Chanterelle mushrooms
Ema datshi - chillies and cheese
Bhutanese chicken curry
Kewa datshi - potatoes and cheese
After our huge Bhutanese food lunch we had some Indian food with Matt including some momos and paratha for dinner.
It was a great day of food in Thimphu, Bhutan!

Bhutanese Tibetan Street Food in Thimphu, Bhutan - TIBETAN UNCLE! (Day 11)
Well, Bhutan doesn’t really have much street food, but Tibetan Uncle is about as close to the street food atmosphere in Thimphu as you can get, and it’s amazing.
►Subscribe for more videos:
On Day 11 of our food and travel trip to Bhutan, we were in Thimphu. We met up with Matt for breakfast and he took us to a place he named Tibetan Uncle, a friendly uncle who makes an assortment of Bhutanese and Tibetan food. The little restaurant is as local and street food style as you can get in Thimphu, tucked in a tiny little room at the back of a strip mall.
Tibetan Uncle (Peace Restaurant) - Order anything he has for the day, everything is good at Tibetan. The momos and chili sauce were amazing, and the beef phingsha and Tibetan food curry and ting momos were delicious.
Zombala Restaurant - One of the first restaurants in all of Bhutan is Zombala restaurant, located in the heart of Thimphu. They specialize in light meals like momos, fried rice, and chow mein. The momos were again excellent.
Bhutan Kitchen Restaurant - For dinner we went to Bhutan Kitchen restaurant, another traditional Bhutanese food restaurant in Thimphu. For traditional Bhutanese food, I thought this was one of the better sit down restaurants in Thimphu.

►Subscribe for more videos:
On Day 3 of this Bhutan food and travel trip, we were invited to cook Bhutanese food with the chefs at Hotel Druk, one of the legendary historical hotels in the heart of Thimphu, Bhutan.
Sikam paa - This is one of the most common Bhutanese dishes of sun dried pork belly cooked up with dried chilies. It’s not a dish for your if you don’t like some fat, but it is pretty tasty and I especially like the dried chilies.
Ema datshi - Considered the national dish of Bhutan, ema datshi is Bhutanese cheese and chilies. We learned to cook this dish and then ate it for lunch.
Kewa datshi - Similar to ema datshi, but this is the version with potatoes instead of chilies.
Jasha tshoem - This is a Bhutanese style of chicken curry, that makes use of lots of ginger and butter. It’s very good.
Hogey salad - This is a Bhutanese salad of cucumber and vegetables with crumbled Bhutanese cheese added for flavoring.
Thank you to Hotel Druk in downtown Thimphu for inviting us to learn some Bhutanese dishes and for the delicious food. Hotel Druk also serves excellent Indian food!

On Day 2 in Thimphu, Bhutan, we hung around town and did some eating.
Ambient Cafe - To begin with, we headed to Ambient Cafe, one of the Western style cafes in the heart of Thimphu. They also roast their own coffee - I thought their coffee was excellent.
Tibet Kitchen - For lunch we went to Tibet Kitchen restaurant in Thimphu to eat Tibetan food. The food was amazing, and I especially enjoyed the Sichuan pepper and chili sauce to garnish my dishes.
Thai Food - For dinner we went to a Thai restaurant in Thimphu. To be honest the Thai food was pretty bad, but it is pretty amazing that you can even get Thai food in Thimphu. I would recommend sticking with local Bhutanese, Indian, and Tibetan food when you’re in Bhutan.

►Subscribe for more videos:
On Day 17 of our Bhutan travel and food trip we drove from Phobjikha Valley back to Thimphu, Bhutan, stopping for some Bhutanese food along the way.
Bhutanese breakfast at Phub Lham Farmhouse - For breakfast we had Bhutanese food at the home stay. The suja, butter tea was fantastic, and the ezay chili sauce was also very good. We also ate white Himalayan rice in a wooden bowl.
Wangdue Ecolodge - Driving from Phobjikha Valley back to Thimphu we stopped in Wangdue to eat lunch at the ecolodge. It was a nice place and the owner is really pushing to create a sustainable lodge, both with accommodation and food. The Bhutanese lunch we had was delicious.
Thank you to Chechay (Bhutan Musk Travels for accompanying us on this amazing trip in Bhutan!
Thank you Tenzin our driver for driving us to Phobjikha Valley!

Flying from Bangkok to Langkawi, Malaysia (Day 1)

I was invited by Naturally Langkawi (Tourism Malaysia) to visit the island of Langkawi to explore and to eat. My wife and I are based in Bangkok, so we woke up early to catch our flight from Bangkok to Langkawi, and we arrived just in time for lunch.
After grabbing our bag from Langkawi airport we jumped in the car and took a drive to Seashells Restaurant, located in laman padi, a rice field. The setting of the restaurant was really nice, with wooden cabanas built over the top of a rice field. We ordered a few different nasi campur dishes, including daging kurma, a beef and coconut milk curry and ayam masak merah, a red chicken curry as well, and we also got some other chicken curry, omelet, and finally both fried fish and Malaysian grilled fish known as ikan bakar. I thought the food was over quite good, and the setting inside the rice field was also very nice.
Lunch accomplished we headed to The Andaman hotel, located on the very northwestern side of Langkawi island. But on the way driving there, we stopped at a local food stall where we enjoyed a few local deep fried snacks and fritters and a donut. I’ll admit, even though I’m not a big sweets fan, that everything was quite tasty - I especially liked the little deep fried banana bread balls.
The Andaman is a very nice hotel, with a private stretch of beach, and so the first thing, after walking around the hotel was to take a swim. After the swim, we ate dinner at Jala Restaurant, a restaurant that’s located at The Andaman hotel.
It was a great day traveling from Bangkok to Langkawi, and thank you to Naturally Langkawi for organizing this trip.
Thank you for watching this video!
