ricklev Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Just watched the new CNN Anthony Bourdain show. The first episode has him in Burma. Available for free streaming here: http://edition.cnn.com/video/shows/anthony-bourdain-parts-unknown/episode1?hpt=hp_livenow Now I want to go eat some Burmese food. I know there are at least a couple of cheap hole in the wall Burmese restaurants in Pratunam, but I don't know where. Can anyone give me the exact location of a Burmese restaurant/food stall. It doesn't have to be in Pratunam. I'm in the mood for the tea leaf salad. Thanks! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedghog Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I believe the country is known as Myanmar . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 (edited) I believe the country is known as Myanmar . You can properly call it either name. Some opposition leaders there still call it Burma. BTW, for those who want to use Myanmar in this context (I don't) is it proper to say Myanmar food or Myanmarese food? So far I think the answer is Myanmar food but I'm not certain. Edited April 15, 2013 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsy Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Burmese restaurants down the side of ABAC between Rama 9 and Ramkhamhaeng behind the Rajamangala stadium. More than one. Inexpensive. Have regularly eaten there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancealot Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 (edited) Anthony is quit famous for making down to earth street situations adventurous, and common street food seem like a delicacy. Does he still pass on every single cigarette offer? Burmese? This is new! i will check his show. Thanks for posting ricklev. I ate in 2 restaurants and 2 streetfood places in Myawaddy. It was all good but i have to add the Burmese atmospehere overrules the quality of the menu. [EDIT] Besides nobody is going to a pizzaria in a country outside of Italy and expect perfect cuisine...

SeaVisionBurma Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Several off topic posts removed. Lets not turn this into a political discussion - fairly sure the intent of the OP was to find where there might be any Myanmar restaurants selling Burmese foods.I've also corrected the earlier given location to Sukhumvit 71. greg71's and Briggsy's info is correct, as far as where to find Burmese food in Bangkok. I'm also a big fan of Burmese food - and miss it when I'm not there, but this can probably be explained by 10 years living in Myanmar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtoad Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I believe the country is known as Myanmar . I think you will find that even people from Myanmar, still refer to it as Burma as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaVisionBurma Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Lets get back on to the topic - which is where to find Burmese restaurants NOT what the country is called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
