When it comes to Bhutanese food, ezay, which is any kind of Bhutanese chili sauce, is something I learned to love from my first day in Bhutan. Every Bhutanese makes their own version of ezay, using a selection of different ingredients. Not two ezays are the same. At Aum Leki Wangmo Farmhouse, the mother there made some amazing Bhutanese chili sauce and I had a chance to watch her make it. Dry chilies, oil, sichuan pepper, tree tomato, ginger, salt, and cheese were a few of the main ingredients she added to her recipe.
Kuenphen Restaurant - On the drive from Punakha to Phobjikha Valley, we stopped for lunch along the bumpy and beautiful road. We ordered shakam datshi, sikam datshi and chilly chicken. The food was alright, but not as good at the home cooked Bhutanese food at home stays in Bhutan. Total price - 640 BTN ($9.60)
Phobjikha Valley - Phobjikha Valley is one of the most beautiful places to visit when you travel to Bhutan. It’s a secluded valley, high in the mountains. We checked into Pasang Zangmo Farmstay. The aunty and her family here were awesome, and she’s known for her cooking throughout all of Phobjikha Valley. I loved walking around their house, exploring the area and seeing black necked cranes (which migrate from Tibet). Our Bhutanese food dinner was delicious.

i think bhutanese kids are very polite!! so cute
yea that tenzen girl was so adorable
Thats how we are trained from childhood to be polite and humble towards everyone Bc we are aware of 'Karma'🙏
I know everyone is commenting about how the food is the same everyday. I really enjoy this series tho, for someone who has eaten probably way more varieties of food then many of us here (talking about Mark), seeing him enjoying simple fare and learning from their culture without scrutinizing really makes me respect him. Keep up the good work Mark, loving your videos and pictures!
Maybe you are jobless, just like to kill the time.
your comment is well received Mr.Kapoor :}
i like mark not only for his food but the travel experience that comes with it!
Thank you very much Daniel. The food definitely got a little repetitive, but the people I met with each meal, and the peaceful atmosphere, is what really made eating in Bhutan so special.
Mark Wiens You seem to still relish every meal and I enjoyed your explaination everytime :) Big love from Singapore
Remember boys and girls! This channel isn't only about food, it's also about travel and seeing more about the world's most interesting cultures.nthis way even if we don't get to travel physically, we can still experience it the way Mark does. It's refreshing to see Mark eat simple food the way locals prepare, eat and enjoy the food. Thanks for the videos Mark keep em coming!
That Bhutanese boy is so well-mannered and kind. He's so adorable, I just can't! Plus, that Bhutanese driver/guide is so cute af!
That young boy is so adorable - knows English too; he speaks his language, English and other's I assume. What a sweet pea :)
Most bhutanese people speak English. Some more fluent than others.
ChasingTheRain this young man so. Handsome
Needs to do his research 😊
All schools in Bhutan are English medium and free of cost, of course. :))
Bhutan is famous for organic foods. Atmosphere is clean, no pollution. You really enjoy it.
All these children in the Bhutan videos are so friendly and welcoming! such a shame children in modern countries aren't like this..
the kids there are so well mannered. love them. they are cute too. the foods look amazing. you know what..they dont need fast foods like us in the city. they eat more healthy.
yeah thought so too. and they seem to speak english at a very young age and they help their parents to cook and make a fire etc.
and we in europe and the us are just concerned with what iphone we have and how much like we have and so on... kind of sad
yea that girl tenzen was so adorable
janet law Yeah I do agree with that!! America really needs to delete Fast Foods and add Tradition herb Street Foods!!
"Kids" is an acceptable term for children in the USA, perhaps in other countries as well. Your response is very insular!
VAGUE* You don't have to capitalize after a comma. Perhaps means possibly. I don't have to "Tell" you anything. Look it up.
tbh if you don't like how Mark is eating the "same" food in every video, then don't watch? not every country has a wide variety of food. plus if Mark isn't getting tired of them then why should you? you should appreciate his effort..
sorry for my english, I'm from Switzerland 😊
I m from Bhutan 🇧🇹 but studying in India 🇮🇳,,, I really miss my Bhutanese food ! ESPECIALLY ezay, suja and shakam ,, You made my mouth watery 🤤
Hi I loved your country so much. Our Bhutanese guide studied in India too. I wanted to ask you, do you have an alternate recipe for Ezay?
India and bhutan 🇧🇹 are like all weather friend love bhutan best wishes from India🇮🇳
You are the legend.we respect you mark.I am from bhutan we serve very organic food.....
paused the video in the middle and made emma datsi and some food and then ate while playing the video.. TOTAL mark's follower..
What a great young boy, he is a gem!
exactly ! he is absolutely adorable :-)
Bhutanese people are very humble in nature... love from India(your brother)
the kid is well mannered and humble can speak english too..so adorable
Wow, love watching your Bhutan clips, it does brings back good old memories, and i have never seen red rice anywhere else apart from those region, i was born and bred in the foothills of the himalayas. I can understand bits of bhutanese, assamese(Assam), very well in khasis(Meghalaya)and a very small portion of naga(Nagaland) and very fluent in brazilian portuguese. The most thing i love about your food travelling is your attitude and respect for others people cultures. Big respect and have a very good day!!
What a country!! and those sights. Simple people- simple organic food. Watching this video was just like meditating.
That kid is such a sweet heart... so well behaved... no attitude
The boy is really friendly and cute. His english is pretty good as well.
If Marks nods vertically saying mmmmh with opened eyes, it means the food is alright. But if his head goes horizontally on the left saying hhhhrroooww with closed eyes, it means its delicious.
Lao Tseu lol
Very good observation lao😉
Lol
Wonderful video. The simple meals and charming Bhutanese culture and people are a delight. Your respect for the local cultures is the 'secret sauce' in your videos.
Mark You have covered up Bhutanese cuisine so well
Bhutan is so peaceful. The people make due with what they have like dried beef, pork, chicken, yak and whatever vegetable that they can gather or grow. Doesn't look like they can get an abundance of seafood. heh....I enjoy the scenery and people in Bhutan. Thank you Mark and Ying for bringing us along for the ride.
I have always respected food! (as a child we had just enought)but you always bring us a deep peek into families that truly live off the land and make uses of every drop of food (lucky cat)every grain. I was born and raised in NEW YORK CITY and the wasted food is a sin which is why I have so much respect for Ying and You also Dwight for supporting the locals and Dwight's program
Crows are very social and smart birds, they collected there to spread the word of dead bird and morn. They also spread word to other birds when they find food to share. Crows have very good intelligence.
Thank you Mark for bring us this video, I love watching your videos from all different countries with different culture ,food and beautiful places. Bhutan is one of mine go to list place, I just love this beautiful country.
Omg this country looks exactly same like my country Nepal.. wat a beautiful developed country... Wish to travel there in near future😊😊
That awkward moment, when Mark cant stand the cold and wears his jacket even inside of the house....and this young boy is barefoot wearing only a tshirt! This kid is definitely the winner of this video!
I've been a regular follower of your videos..but these once are special. I always liked Bhutan but now I've fallen in love with this country. Beautiful.
I had Bhutanese friends in Cuba where we studied medicine, I absolutely love their shakam ezzay. Food for Gods really.
I'm actually gonna try to make my own version of ezay this weekend and try it with rice. Looks so yummy!
If you want to make some other Bhutanese food, this recipe should get you started: bit.ly/2oPt1Uj
What's recipes of ezay....
tinaazrashariff chopped chilies, dry it fresh, some cheese, a chopped tomatoes (tree tomatoes goes better), a salt for a taste, and Sichuan pepper and finally a coriander. Mix them all well and add boiled oil if you like it. That’s it, simple! Hope u will enjoy it 😊
Nothing beats a delicious home made breakfast/dinner and that atmosphere
Aww. That Bhutanese kid❤❤
The family that you visit are really nice and hospitable folks, their children well mannered and polite.wish we can see more people in this complicated world. just love your videos.
Bhutan is up there with the best in terms of natural beauty. Thanks for these videos Mark. The families in your videos all seem really nice.
Omg.. I miss Bhutan now .. 🇧🇹
i love how the Bhutanese guy is eating with a spoon and Mark is following traditions and using his hands!
I am missing my home..food..Thank u for the lovely video..Bhutan I am coming soon..😍😍😍
Tenzen is too cute.
yeah ikr... this is my second time watching the video, JUST because of him lol 😁
yea the girl was so adorable
Excellent! This time you stepped aside for a while from "commercial" eating into the every day eating of bhutanese people plus a lovely footage of the environment, including cranes. Oh! And thanks for a recipe for ezay.
Love Bhutan !!! Children are too polite & amazing view plus healthy and yum yum food 😍😍
The kids are so friendly! :)
It really makes you wonder why anyone would dislike this video and give him a thumbs down...he works so hard in everything and for his effort alone I would have given a thumbs up.. why must folks be so discouraging and mean. Thank you mark...we love your videos.
Indeed.
I don't want you to finish this Bhutan journey 😥😥
love from Nepal 💕💕
To compare with the videos which Mark took in US, Spain... those developed countries, i feel extremely interested in seeing the videos in the countries that we dont really know much, such as their culture, people, society, archetectures.... so on, Thank you Mark and Ying! You are working so hard for providing good videos here!!!! Cheer up!!!
I loved the farm! And the boy was so sweet! How fun!
hi Mark! me and my wife have been enjoying your vlogs recently. Nice vlogs, I'd recommend everyone to watch them! thank you for showing us the foods from all over the world , mark&ying :)
Wesley Lock Sulen You should check out a channel called "The food ranger"
Mark collaborated with him some videos back
Shreyas rao we will, thanks for the heads-up
The 'turnips' look like what we call swedes in NZ and we eat the swede and throw away the leaves. All the food looks wholesome home grown and home cooked what an awesome experience.
I realised there are not many young people around ..those I saw are so pleasant and eager to serve. Those turnips were huge. I can just imagine eating the food there...
Thanks for exploring my country there is more to go👍👍👍👍
Mark your amazing-- u just madr me proud of being a BHUTANESE.
Thank you Mark and Ying for taking me to a part of this world I thought only existed in past 1975 National Geographic spreads. Would have never made it there without you. -- sw
You're welcome, thank you for watching Susan!
Hey Mark , i am the late viewer of Bhutan Trip. But i loved it because i hv lots of friends from Bhutan back from college u brought all the memories back with that azey and dachi😘😘😘
Thanks mark for this fantastic view of nature. Thankyou so much.
I am so enjoying the visuals of this Bhutan series. If I went there myself, I would struggle with all the chili though. It creates a beautiful picture, but the sting of the reality would be beyond me! I am made of weaker stuff than you! Bhutan must be a wonderful country to visit. Maybe one day!
Thank you for the films and I am already really excited about the upcoming Philippines videos.
We hope you do visit, Daniel! Bhutanese cooks are very much aware that chilies are not for everyone, so if you do ever make the trip, just let them know that you would prefer a mild dish. Hope that helps!
It does help! Thank you for sending me this assurance! I will certainly visit Bhutan! I hope soon!
Great, Daniel! Let us know if you need help booking your trip. You can do so on our site - mybhutan.com/ - or send us an email at contact@mybhutan.com.
After watching all episode of Bhutan, I wish to go there 😊
Hi, J! We'd be happy to help you plan your trip. You can book from start to finish on our site (mybhutan.com/) or send us an email for a personalized itinerary: contact@mybhutan.com
That guy on the background breaks his egg with style
hahahha
What an incredibly, beautiful country and beautiful people!
I love this video! Watched it many times just to see Mark enjoy the delicious food, the absolutely amazing scenery, the beautiful people and wonderful views of religion of Bhutan ❤️ such a fantastic vlog by Mark, his wife and other members of the trip.
Thank you so much for sharing and yes, I agree with many of the others here...the guy in the background of the breakfast scene was too cute lol 😄👌🏼
it seems like mark is in love with Bhutan and he doesn't want to leave..😁😁
I am loving these vlogs. I love seeing the people and their homes and the foods they eat, and how they prepare and eat it.
Hello Wieners,
should we call ourselves that?
For those who complain about the food being repetitive, i agree with you. Bhutan isn't known for its cuisine, the appeal lies in its geographical location and, unique(very unique) culture and tradition. I realise he is a food blogger but it would have been better if he emphasised more on the culture, and he missed out on number of tourist spots(most likely to do with the arrangement he made with mybhutan). Eventhough the cuisine is limited, it is organic and unique for a country that is in Asia(apart from Tibetans, there aren't any that cook with dairy as much as we do in the continent). You make do with what you have.
Your fellow Bhutanese #Represent
Thank you very much for your insights!
You are always so gracious! Many people could learn from you!
+Mark Wiens what's the family that owns the farm and made the chili's last name?
I've been there, the morning quiet sunrise actually reminds me of the rural Smoky Mountains in North Georgia, America, a little. The authentic Bhutan food continues to bring back so many fond memories, thank you Mark, I need to go back soon.
We hope you do come back soon! Let us know if you need any help planning a return trip.
Hey Mark!!Amazing Video Once again!!The Whole series of Bhutan Vlogs have been a joy to watch especially since it took more than 15 months to get permission to upload them!!!The channel keeps on getting bigger and better Mark!!The last 15 months have been incredible with the Jordan Trip, Indonesia Trip, The Round the world tour etc!!So happy to see the channel grow since I have been following it for almost 5 years now!!
Mark you videos are awesome and you are one of the few luckiest people who love to travel and earn from what you love to do. Glad you cover all those simple living people and remote locations.
I love the way mountain people innovate.... using rice for cleaning hands
Mark your face radiates so much positivity and calmness.Its a treat watching your videos keep up the good work ❤️
man ...mark.....lot of respect to u man...........
Mark! all the love from Bhutan!!!
My mom always says, whenever we are watching old photos or something.. If only someone could capture every thing our eyes see! I mean you must have seen so much more than what you see in the videos!
From a mums point of. View ‘ u have an amaizing respect for people and their culture
This will carry you ahead in life
Thank you Mark for showing how other corners of our world create a meal.
Compared to our uber modern environment. It is humbling to see the Bhutanese create nurtured ingredients. Resulting in calculated cuisines to balance with the environment.
Keep up the good work pal.
Thank you so much for such unintentional inspiration during sunrise scene. We all should learn getting out of bed by sunrise or even before to welcome sunrise. The scene is like breakfast already.
This sold me on home stay in Bhutan. Must do. Lucky man, Mark.
We love homestays as well, Chilarai. You can book a stay at a couple of them on our site: mybhutan.com/explore/accommodations
Thanks MyBhutan.
I don't want this series to end, but Im also looking forward to new videos! It's great that you showcase the culture of other countries thru their food. Excellent videos!!!
Very cool this breakfast, in Brasil we eat only: bread, cheese, milk, eggs, coffe,yogurt , fruits... Never potatoes, meat... I love your vídeos Mark Wies, I watched almost all. Hugs from Brasil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
i give you props Mark. you are willing to go where no one goes
Delicious organic vegetables, lovely people and well mannered kids. Beautiful place and calm
Thanks again Mark. Great video. Loved the views of the mountain ranges. All the food looked off the charts. This has been a great series from Bhutan. Keep them coming. Take care.
amazing so jealous that you got to to look at that beautiful countryside and eat that food missing baby Micah glad Ying
What a wonderful people, and Mark is addicted to those chili sauce. Awesome Mark, I am a fan.
Wow, they live so simple n beautiful. I need to go stay there too... amazing
i really like your small friend...he is so cute..
What a beautiful family.
Really nice to watch you traveling!!!! And defense food you showing!!!!!
Love watching these to see more of Bhutanese culture. Like how they wash their hands and clean the floor with rice..that's pretty new to me. super cool to learn
Great video Mark, thanks for providing such an excellent insight into Bhutan and especially the food! Keep up the good work.
Nothing is more beautiful than taking suja near oven in winter in Bhutan
*Mark tastes any food*
Reaction: hhhhhwooooooowww *Slight dip of neck and eyes close*
He never said he didn't like any food in Bhutan though.
for real lmao !!
petev23 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 ffs
Awad Buhisi 🇺🇸👍👏👏👏🙏
he doesn't seem to like the dried pork.
Your the best Mark on food tour, my wife and i enjoiying your travel, Thank you for all your episode. ❤️🍽
Another great video - it's not just about the food; the awesome countryside scenery, mountains and not too faraway Himalayas!
Thank you!!!
Mark, that was one of my favorite videos. The way they showed you different techniques and cleaning your hands at the end!
these videos remind me of a camping trip. there's also so much more in these besides food...i love it. really shows how earthly Bhutan is. You can eat the same thing every day somewhere different every time and it'll always be a little different with places like this. nothing is manufactured for replication, it all has a personal touch on it.
Favourite food blogger. You are such a good human being. Please don't stop what you're doing. lots of love.
amazing views and can only imagine the purity in the air at such high points on the mountain. everything is made fresh. lovely very well kept traditions. thank Mark and Ying!
This is like paradise on earth, my friend has recently been there now I wanna go!
That boy just my attention! Cute, industrious and very kind!
I enjoy these videos as much for the insights into culture as for the food... Bhutan seems like a really enchanting place!
Quite a video. Really enjoyed it. An experience that came through the screen. Thank you to the Bhutanese family, the wonderful young man, and of course Mark.
