Dining in SE Asia

Food is the thread that often ties us all together. Despite language barriers, cultural differences, humans in general love to eat. One of the most exciting things when we go to a new country is to learn about their unique cuisine. While, there are many similarities in SE Asian cuisine, we have found that each country is unique. For instance Thai food is quite flavorful and spicy heavily relying on coconut and chilies while food in Myanmar was more mild and had a lot of Chinese and Indian influence. Trying the numerous delicacies from the sweet and savory giant bowls of Pho in Vietnam to the Coconut lemongrass dishes of Cambodia has been an adventure in itself. Especially as vegetarians! Attempting to learn how to say vegetarian in five languages in the last few months has been fun. While I could describe the plethora of food we have enjoyed here in SE Asia in mouth watering detail. It would be hard to do it justice. They say a photo is worth a thousand words, so we hope this video will help do it one better. Bon Appetite!
