Luke Nguyen's Greater Mekong

Keng Tung, Myanmar (1x7)

Air date: Apr 05, 2012

In the seventh episode of Luke Nguyen’s Greater Mekong, Luke hikes to the hill tribe villages of the Shan State and the township of Keng Tung, where he cooks some unusual delicacies and local marketplace favourites. Luke teams up with Aye, an Anh Shaman, to make the aromatic dried beef dish Aye’s mother prepared for him before he went on hunting expeditions. He meets Maypear of the Paluang people to cook her favourite dish – a warm buffalo skin salad. Inspired by the flavours and smells of the local marketplace, Luke creates a textural pork dish wrapped in bamboo.
