The Best Burmese Noodles I've Ever Had (Auntie's Heart is an Angel's, but Her Chili Sauce is FIRE!!)

A small and humble shout-out to the people of Myanmar - a place that influenced me, encouraged me, and awed me with their example of perseverance and their love of peace, in the face of so much hardship - I want to dedicate this video to you.

I live in Thailand, and have been grateful of this fact since the day I first came in 2009. That does not change the fact however, that I frequently have those "what if" dreams (daydreams of having 3 (at least) entire other lives to lead, ones that would see me loving Myanmar (and Laos, that's the 3rd country...) - other lives that may have seen me speaking Burmese instead of Thai, learning about those beautiful people and calling that land my new home, possibly loving them as deeply as I have come to know and love Thailand... At least I DO have the chance to touch some of that culture in the wonderful diaspora population that has found its home in Chiang Mai.

Of all the wonderful Shan (who are 'Tai Yai' in Thai language), Karen, Mon, and of course central Burmese people I have had the pleasure to meet here in Chiang Mai, I have been SO moved by the story of this Auntie, and its a pleasure to share this afternoon at her house with YOU today.

I hope you love it!

LOCATION:
"Khao Feun Kaaow Pa Nang," where 'Khao Feun' is the name of the rice starch dish, and
Pa Nang is the name of the wonderful lady who runs the place...

WHAT TO ORDER:
Every dish on the menu is the same price (40 Baht), and I recommend at least the 2 main dishes - the rice starch (or the lentil starch mixed in with it if you want), and then her version of 'Nam Ngiaow.'

**I did come back here 24 hours after visiting with Li, I came back with Brock and Caleb (and Jeremy joined us as well!), and where Li and I ordered 6 dishes between us, I think the next day we had 9! I could even happily go back today as well, Auntie's noodles (and her FIERY chili dip) just can not be beat!!!
