I am an Indian born in Bhutan even studied there till grade four as my parents were teachers there. I have loved the country...the beauty.. the culture ..the people and their friendly nature ..nice food...nice vegetables n yummy fresh fruits
I have always been fascinated by Bhutan's culture and people. Their people-centric government policies are awesome and worth emulating by all countries of the world. I am Indian by the way. Now I am drooling over their food. 😍 Love you, Bhutan. 💗💗💗
« The whole world loves Bhutan »... like “The whole world loves Canada” -which is why so MANY *White* Americans travel with the maple leaf somewhere on their clothes... because they were told most people don’t like Americans ? PS: I wrote “told” but sometimes, too often it is actually “taught”. PPS: To those who think “It’s just about food, get out with your political opinions”, I just want to say: food is culture. *Food IS political* . You just took the time to think about it, or not. Same with racism. Same with equal rights (male / female). Anthony Bourdain was a master in that. Just read the reactions when someone dared criticizing American burgers (Mark had a burger in Bhutan).
I've actually been to a border town in Bhutan. ❤️❤️ The people are nice and warm. I miss binging on DRUK beers 😂😂 with my friends. Watching this brought back many memories. Planning to visit this winter again. 👍🏻👍🏻
I visited Bhutan so many times, specially staying at a place which is only one hour drive from Funtsholing. Tried some of their dishes but this feast is giving me travell goals!!
This series of videos from Bhutan have been excellent.. This is a place I'd never heard of before and I'm so glad you have been able to really showcase what Bhutan looks like (absolutely breathtaking) , the culture and of course the food!! Everyone seems to be very friendly from this area, it's also nice to see that someone preserving the traditional form of cooking. I 100% agree with you on the wooden bowls, they are beautiful! Thank you Mark and Ying for this experience! ☺️
Many of you are complaining that Mark is unauthentic when it comes to rating the food he eats by displaying the same facial expressions and always smiling....but I think he is just being respecful and polite considering the fact that the owner is sitting next to him.
Again, great video! Thank you for sharing your experience Mark! most of us don't travel much, by sharing your videos gives us an experience, better understanding of Bhutan cuisine, and of of course makes us hungry haha.
I would like to go to Bhutan but from my research you have to go on guided tours costing $200+ dollars a day. It is a pity. Apart from that I love your videos
Food apart, the hospitality looks awesome from the settled table to the amount of respect presented by the people (host). I am doing my college presentation on Bhutan. Your videos helps me to know Bhutan from culinary side. Like it so far!
Taste "woody", Mark meant it wasn't good tasting, the cook was right there so he had to say that. he was being respectful to her and being kind. No reason to be mean or ugly, even if it taste like a fermented Bhutanese fart, lol!! We understood what he was saying to those who know his ways, when he enjoys something.
well mark doesnt ever say anything negative about his food in general - in the presence of the chef or not. can't really say that 'woody' is a negative comment when people, especially mark, love to use 'earthy' to describe food. it might be a mature taste, and, at the very least, he might appreciate it.
Mark when you come to the Philippines, come and visit my mom's eatery in Cavite! We serve Filipino food (obviously) and not just cuisines from Cavite but from other places too. 😊
After watching so many of your videos, i am still surprised you over fill your plate every time which sometimes contaminates the flavors of the different dishes you've packed on your plate. Even the chef here was trying to subtly mention that...
calm down please, allowing your food to blend on your plate, and trying things together is not "contamination". Its how a foodie enjoys his food! there is not one certain way to eat food. each person gets to decide how to eat sheesh.
I've eaten here it was amazing! to see all the different traditional vegetables they use from mountains. They use chilli as a vegetable and it is in everything! unless you ask for no chilli, and then they think your insane!!! lol I LOVE Bhutan :)
I know Bhutan is one of the happiest country in the world. It think it is because the government ask the people, if they are happy with their lives or not and they try to show concern for the needs of their citizens. Most of them agree that keeping their traditional and cultural identity gives them happiness and I would agree as well. I love how you shot the food videos in Bhutan!
Wow! The food looks awesome! We should be eating more of food like that! Unspoiled, not processed, and no preservatives, it is healthy. The buckwheat is good for the diabetes!!!
Mark just an honest opinion, in Bhutan you have been eating same type of food in all videos, your videos in Bhutan could done into 3 or 4 parts. However as you have mentioned these videos has been kept by Bhutanese public officials and you could only release after years, keep up good work mate
the feast didn't look very appetizing. It looked really dry but its hard to be completely honest when the chef is right beside you. But hey trying different traditional cuisine is all apart of the amazing experience.
Hey Mark, this reminds me, did you try Axone ( fermented soyabean) with pork when you were in Nagaland? It's truly one of the best things ever provided you develop the taste :D
What I like about his trips its primarily about the food, but what adds to the food is the ambience of the different cultures, which this series does very well. I for one, am glad he didn't condense it into five days, we would get indigestion of the virtual kind I reckon.
The way you nod every time ..Your yummy face..after eating the cuisines across the globe is the hall mark of your videos. I have watched all of your travel blogs. I bet I have put on weight after watching your videos here as I feel famished after every half an hour.. Well good for me as I am skinny....Keep up the excellent work Mr Wien. Much love from India.🙏🙏☺☺
Glad you are showing some vegetarian things without cheese. Although I like cheese, I cannot eat it everyday. When it's too much cheese, my digestion says Yak.
Hi Mark, Such a Beautiful n Peaceful surrounding, my favorite, buckwheat, learning so much from this fine lady, I do eat with my hand, a new way to clean my hands , very healthy diet, how come there is no Aho ho ho Mark, Thank you so much for another awesome video Mark, 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏻😁Bee
I have seen few of your videos. You are doing good work on these videos. But Whatever you eat, Dosent matter which cuisine, sweet, sour, tangy, spicy or sweet your expressions always same. Its quite funny. 😆 how would people differentiate its good or bad?? Everything of this world cant taste the same. Right? Everything can't be delicious. Stop showing sae fake expectations. Show people some originality. Well that's my personal opinion. Rest is your life. Good luck for future videos.
Mark. I'm a fan of you.I see all of your videos. I am seeing you go to all the countries and you are not coming to Bangladesh.What is the reason? Why?Please come to bangladesh. You will be given all kinds of cooperation.
You make me laugh every time you taking a bite of food I see the pleasure on your face..it makes me feel like hungry watching you how you ate.😂😂😂I been watching many if your videos and I am a subscriber. 😊💋
Eating with the help of your fingers is the most enjoyable way of having dinner. And now I learned to clean your hands with cooked rice. Hey Mark great vid. Love it.
Every video is the same and you like everything you eat and give the same lean to the side smerk and laugh every time you taste something. I wish you would give an honest review because I'm sure not everything you eat in your videos you like.
I'm laughing, a little bit salty. He is so kind. I thought I just consumed a salt shaker! In that high elevation their blood pressure tends to be low hence the high salt intake.
my days are awesome. it's because of this wonderful guy. thnx Mark. everything about u is awesome. so many things are there to learn from you. god bless
the best thing is .. you tasted what they have in their menu.. no matter how many places you go no matter how the food dishes maybe quite similar but the stories varies... but it is what they have there pure and simple as that. It is good to know the full extend of your visit there with every video presented. Thanks
A fascinating video of a cuisine I have never heard about before. Please forgive my ignorance, I am very much into Mughlai cuisine and Northern I Indian, Pakistani, Nepali, Tibetan, Bangladeshi.
