Among the most common roadside snacks across all of Southeast Asia, curry puffs are something ubiquitous; something eaten every day and rarely given a second thought.
But in Thailand, there’s a small town in the rural mountains that claims that it is the true home of this iconic dish. We traveled to find out the truth, and ended up on a completely unexpected journey into the ways of life lost after the construction of the highways, the history of European migration, and the unique path one village took to achieve its small piece of prosperity.

![Chickpea Tofu and Pickled Tea Leaves: Myanmars Unreal Cuisine, and Why Its So Hard to Find
Burmese food is something totally unique- a flavor profile shaped by an ancient history with roots connecting the empire to powerful culinary neighbors like China, India, and Siam, but with indigenous techniques and ingredients that make this cuisine all its own.
Somehow, in twelve years cooking and eating in Asia, it never occurred to me how strange it was that I didnt know anything about Burmese food. I never questioned why Thai, Vietnamese, and Malaysian food could be found anywhere, but the largest geographic country in mainland Southeast Asia- a place with a 4000-year history and an outsized influence on the continent- was invisible. But then I tried my first Burmese meal, and all of a sudden, a million questions needed answering.
This video is an attempt to answer- maybe not all of those questions, but at least...say...two or three? What are some of the iconic dishes in Myanmar? How did Burmese food take shape? And why have I never encountered it before?
Were diving into the Bangkok Burmese refugee diaspora to get as deep as we can into Thailands hidden Myanmar subculture in a culinary adventure on OTR.

![Bang Kachao: The Forgotten Island That Shouldnt Exist
Of all the things youd expect to find in the middle of Bangkok, a remote and untouched island of old-growth jungle and ancient Mon culture is probably not on the list.
And yet- just a two-minute ferry from Khlong Toei, theres a 16-square-kilometer green space in the middle of the Chao Phraya that time and progress forgot. Its called Bang Kachao and somehow, through two centuries of growth and development, its remained lost in obscurity, its history and traditions ignored by the growing metropolis that surrounds it on all sides.
Its a place with endless bicycle paths, rare and abundant wildlife, and some of the best food on the planet- and coming to explore might be the best chance the island has to survive with its land and lifestyle under existential threat.
