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 is such a beautiful and naturally blessed nation truly magnificent
Love Bhutan❤ from Singapore. Been bhutan twice. Love your video. Sweet memories for me. Missed the delicious foods too. 😘
❤️❤️❤️ from Bhutan too
Just love your content! Keep posting such amazing videos. Much love from India❤️
I love Bhutanese & Nepalese people. From Bangladesh ❤❤
But Bhutan hated people called Lhotshampas on their turf. Just look at the fates of those Lhotshampas who lived centuries on their land, still not gained Bhutanese citizenship, and banned from going northward.
Not all of Bhutan is great, especially their treatment of Lhotshampas.
@@circleancopan7748 Wow , I didn't know that. Glad you informed me on this issue.
Bhutan is a very peaceful and amazing country 😍
David is drunk 😂 love it
I shouldn't be surprised, but its not hard to be with such a beautiful country. No wonder they call it the happy kingdom, life seems so simple yet fulfilling in bhutan. :)
But not on Lhotshampas. They weren't happy with the Bhutanese treatment. They were banned going north, banned from having Bhutanese citizenship though they lived there for many centuries, helped Bhutan build up their land.
This episode makes me want to be a Rockstar Eater in Bhutan! Oh yeah! That's right!
awesome man ....lived in Bhutan for four years really missing .You simply refreshed those memories

Also visit himachal pradesh in India if you have time!
The guide could have been great as the footman during the heady days of the British Raj
Amazing that most people speak english ...loving bhutan now 🙏♥️
Most Bhutanese people can speak English, Hindi and Nepali.
And Japanese few
Do you miss eating Bangalore dosas?
I want you to visit northeast India(Darjeeling,Sikkim,kalimpong) border to China I believe you can explore more spicy food..:)
When are you coming to nepal?
Hi david
Hi David 😘from india
Vijay devarakonda
They should've kept a hand sanitizer at the very start of the prayer rolls and after the last one as well.. in every rolls point..
Hai David
So are Indian green and red chilies hotter than the ones in Bhutan?
Sad that u didn't visit the buddha dordenma In thimphu
Bhutan has ties with Japan.
Hope your stomach didn't get upset due to chilly.. 😂
Please visit Sikkim
Hi David, where are you from?
Miami
add more kerala videos
Bhutanese food problems when in toilet 🤣
You still in bhutan
David visit yunam
hahaha
You are only tourists who eat alots 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶
Check out mark weins channel he is a god of chillies.👍
Hi David
I just wanted to tell you because you have asked around
At the moment it really looks very bad for you as a US American
I mean the EU has decided today that US citizens will be denied the entry to the EU
I know Pence and Trump (for who you probably have voted for) says that the situation is improving and under control but the EU thinks otherwise
I think Florida had 9,000 new cases yesterday. That’s quite scary to some people here
I think the best thing for you that would bring you a lot of views is to do like a lot of other Travel TH-camrs at the moment
Get a van or a trailer and travel together with your whole family around the US
Especially now in the times of "Black live matters" and before the presidential elections it would be very interesting to see that for your foreign audiences
Bhutan seems expensive
He drunk on ARA
Why don't you tell us about your minoxidle journey
Bhutan is such a beautiful country but they don't have diversity in their foods 😶
It’s because he is exploring only western and central part of Bhutan. The dishes are similar in that regions.
Bhutan is smaller then most cities in India on top of that Bhutan's population isn't even close to one million, so considering that I would say there food has enough diversity.
NOOOOOO......when you have a dumpling you need to bite into it and SHOW US THE INSIDE. Everything else worked.
Dude what’s with the background score.....
Bhutan tour expense per head
250 dollar per day
Hope u had a Peaceful toilet..
wtf is this....? chillies
can you pls remove the pink from your vids it looks like I've seen them and you can't see if i watched already
M sure you quite liked the food but the guide..a amateur commanding guide
you look drunk towards the end of video
They welcomed tourists, but not Lhotshampas.
So long video, not interrested. Please keeo it short!
Love from India Assam bro💓
