A Bread Flippin’ Good Time
Posted by: ABaum
In the well-travelled city of Mandalay, these guys are famous for their street side chapatis and curry. Well deserved bread flipping effects are noticeable. Can you hear them?
Stop 1 on the motorcycle tour up to Hsipaw in Shan territory. The food in Myanmar is some of the best I’ve had whilst travelling. I would say better than Thai food upon first experience. Since going back to Thailand, I’ve come to embrace their cuisine more but who knows what I’d find in Burma on a return visit.
No Banana for You
Posted by: ABaum
Travellers from Thailand always want the damn chocolate banana crepes. These were much better. All curry, greasy, eggy goodness. What more could you want, besides a camera operator that knows how to use the manual focus.
Kengtung was our first stop on our overland travel from Chiangmai in Thailand to Mongla in Special Region 4.
Doconut

What’s the name of that one cartoon character that loves doughnuts? He always goes on about how good they are by exclaiming a series of ms. That guy would have loved these. The sweetness is overpowering but I’m starting to get a handle on sugar filled pastries. Such a more intense hit than the hidden sugar molecules found in western treats.
Below is an exerpt from a conversation I heard:
“Fuck it. Let’s just put in a bunch of raw sugar.”
“Should we mix it in?”
“Nope. Just put it in there to cover the dried shaved coconut.”
But man oh man did they ever do it with love for such vulgar dudes. Myanmar is a magical place.
Burmese Noodles

Well well well…these days this site should be called ABaum’s Glorious SetSubSet Wonderland Supreme. I’m bringing viruses and everything all up in here with some hits from videos that take 2 years to get noticed. What’s it like to be an internet sensation? Well it’s been nice but that’s over now. Now that it’s over, we can focus on what’s real. Also maybe I’ll actually make posts. Here’s one from Mandalay.

Delicious Crispy Buns
Posted by: ABaum
Oh god. Thinking about these buns is enough reason to go live in the middle of nowhere. This was perhaps the dirtiest city I’ve been in recent memory. Tianmen in the month of February is disgusting. A slow, piercing cold follows you everywhere. I did, however get the best haircut I’ve ever received and ate these buns. These buns are far and away the best buns I’ve ever had. Nothing can compare. They were so crisp on the outside and the inside, fully cooked with a moist but flaky interior that must be due to the lard. I am told lard is in them. Lard is something we are programmed to hate in NA but it is simply more delicious butter. We need to stop the madness. We must accept lard into our lives but first butter. Non-hydrogenated margarine is a travesty.
Please imagine how delicious these are with me. It’s all I have left. Also, note the fancy hand-work. This guy is a bun making god. I was really drunk having just left my friend’s wedding (congratulations!) and at the end of the night, informed the bun maker that I would never see him again and that I loved him. He paid me no mind at all. It only makes me love him more.
A Barbeque Review
Posted by: ABaum
Good day, friends
We are gathered here today to watch a relatively long video consisting of one man eating a large variety of meat. There are sometimes vegetables wrapped in meat or sandwiched by meat but those moments are few and far between. Enjoy the tastiness you’ll not be eating. I recommend turning it up in order to delight in the sounds of chewing.
BBQ Eggplant
Posted by: ABaum
Ladies and Gentlemen,
It’s been a long time. Good to be back, let me tell you. I’ve got some good videos but this one is probably the best. Might as well save the best for first. I am still dreaming about how awesome this is but maybe I’m just watching the video over and over. People don’t seem to know this but eggplants are fucking delicious. I know eggplant in more languages than any other word. That’s a lie but not too much of one. People always say “I don’t really like eggplant.” Never trust those people. Eggs are good. Plants are good. Enjoy…
