Thai cuisine also has influences from Chinese, Indian, Persian, Portuguese, Laos, Malay, Burmese food. This isn't always mentioned when people talk about Thai food

Great video, brother! I get an Anthony Bourdain style of narration and excellent description of all of the foods you tried. You're gonna do well, my dude.

The omelette is probably kaw kyaw ကော်ကြော် (fried tapioca)

Yangon looks like a great place for food adventurers,its a shame the political situation at the moment is preventing a lot of travellers from going there.Maybe one day soon.Love the history of this vibrant country as well.

It is white radish (Daikon) soup, the leave gives the a light bitterness and tamarind juice for tanginess. The 2nd foods are 2 versions of soft and crispy crab omelette. You are right. It is similar to Hoi Tod. The third one, ring shape, is made of glutinous rice. The Chinese temples are crowded during the festive seasons only. Glad that you enjoy your food journey & your stomach survives with street food. Bring more stomach next time. 😅😅😅

Great content, thank you for showing unique dishes of this rather closed nation.
Side note:

It's wrong to call it an "Indian temple" since Indian is a nationality, it is a Tamil Hindu temple.

Vegetables don't look fresh cuz they are boiled.

The fritters look like Mandalay pe kyaw မတ်ပဲကြော် ? They are kidney bean fritters made using glutinous rice flour (not tapioca). Might be wrong tho I'm not burmese

Myanmar is a contradiction of peaceful people and violent conflict. We suffer from a series of dictatorships who want power and riches for themselves.
