- Before I traveled to the states of Assam and Meghalaya in northeast India in March of 2019, I did tons of research to learn about these unique areas of the country. But no amount of research could prepare me for what I found when I got there. From beautiful national parks to picturesque landscapes to some of the best food I’ve ever eaten, this is a truly special part of India. I can’t wait to share more of it with you. Come along with me as I explore northeast India!

On the morning of my third day in Meghalaya, my friend Paul and I linked back up to have breakfast in Police Bazaar. We’d be eating a mix of traditional Indian and traditional Khasi food. We started our day at a viewpoint overlooking Shillong, where you can see the plateaus and Himalayas in the distance on sunny days.
It was a chilly start to the day, but it was warming up. We arrived at Police Bazaar and immediately headed to the street vendors. The street food stalls here are open from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m., so come early if you want to have breakfast. I couldn’t wait to try the food there. I was hungry!
We started with some puri sabzi, which consisted of a deflated puri and an amazing-looking squash sabzi with onion. Break the puri with one hand if you can, put some sabzi on it, and just go to town on it. It was slightly spicy and the puri was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The sabzi was also nice and oily. The oil takes it to the next level! It’s phenomenal and only costs 20 rupees/$0.29 U.S.!
Then it was time to have some traditional Khasi food! I went with pork salad, pork innards, pork fat, chicken, and meatballs with some chapati. I broke off a piece and filled it with the organ meat. It was so juicy and kind of gelatinous. It reminded me of brain. Next was the pork salad, which contains onions and potato. It’s like a Russian salad but with pork. I’d had it several times already, but I could never get tired of it!
Then I went with the pork fat, which was so flavorful and gelatinous. It was like pork Jell-O! This one was a little tougher and reminded me of bacon. Then I went with the meatball, which was dense and rich in amazing flavor. It was so amazing! One of the best meatballs I’d ever had!
Next, I tried the chicken, which has a lot of bones in it. You have to struggle a bit to get into it. It was a little chewy, but the amount of bones in it was too much for me. I preferred the pork. I love the pork in Meghalaya is unreal. It’s very hard to find in other parts of India, but it’s extremely common in Meghalaya. It’s so good!
Then I had some chicken thigh that was bathed in a delicious curry, followed by the jadoh, or rice with pork. Then I tried the pickled bamboo shoots with chilies. I love the taste of bamboo. The pickled version is a little potent and the chili adds some heat.
Next was the dried, smoked beef curry. The curry was light but rich, while the meat was a lot like tender beef jerky. It contained lots of spices but wasn’t spicy!
Everything I had came to just 130 rupees/$1.86 U.S., so it’s on the more expensive side for this area of India, but is still pretty inexpensive for the amount of food you get.
I wanted to get more food after that, so I got some pitha, which is a pounded rice patty with coconut and sugar. It was a little different from the Assamese version I’d had. It was airy and thick and was sweet like a dessert! I love coconut! It was super filling and very tasty.
Then I had some chai, which is my favorite thing to drink in India! It contained ginger and milk and wasn’t too hot. I hadn’t seen it much in Assam and Meghayala, so I was happy to find some. It was very creamy and frothy!
I finished up with some egg toast, which is a piece of toast cooked into super fluffy eggs with onion, spices, and chilies. I’d had some in Kolkata and loved it. The bread wasn’t super toasted, but it was still so good! And it was spicy!
I hope you guys enjoyed coming with me to Police Bazaar for breakfast in Shillong! If you did, please give this video a thumbs up and leave me a comment. Also, please subscribe to my channel!

You haven’t visit golf link ??
visit NAGALAND
Supre video David..... lots of love😘😘😘
@@Mylliem-umlong good one.. he should visit.. as its known to be natural golf
Don't you guys notice that the streets of shillong are much cleaner than other Indian cities???
There's a town called in Meghalaya which is the 2nd cleanest place in entire Asia. Mawmlung or mawsynram I think .
@@simba5876 mawlynnong, East Khasi Hills District, Meghalaya. 😊
Yeah. Also no stray cows on the road.
@@monojitbasumatary8277 lol you got that right!!
Yes yes I was noticing it through the video much much better compared to the congested city roads of Kolkata WB and add to that those sceinic hilly slopes you have a path to heaven.
Proud to say Paul is my childhood friend at school😘😘
Lmaoo you played yourself
@@TravelwithPaul this is pk from sunny dale.
I love that you are educating your viewers like me on India:). I am American and I’m sure there are many others that see an Indian person and our mind starts to think of what the media has presented us with, which is not very good. We can not distinguish the difference between the Middle East and those we have been in conflict with, and all the millions of other nations beside them. Your videos awaken our intelligence with this part of the world and I appreciate the knowledge:). Also, I have also learned to appreciate their cuisine!!! I am in ❤️ with it, lol!
Paul is a great guide... Not only u has adequate knowledge about his state.. But also of his neighbouring states...
Highlanders Rock!!
Shillong is undoubtedly the best place in India. Love the scenery and the people.
Shillong is famous for coir n musical groups . its got great singers n talents ... Do explore that as well . Dont limit urself to just food .
Well said
David is a food vlogger.
Well he is a food vloger. Not an explorer
He's a food blogger broo
There is no coir industries in shillong...u must b referring to choir groups or singer
Shillong is real NorthEast.. 😀😀
Everywhere pork beef and pork beef..
But Weather is also magnificant.. 👌👌
Love from Guwahati.. 🇮🇳
Absolutely True. I love you 3000.
@Stenka Razin Hum Assam wale nhi khate, Baki North eastern state kha lete hai.. Christian hai..
@sam clark true
Lower Assam Gogoi,Rajkhuwa borgohain are not Hindus,Our religion is Furalung not hindu
@Stenka Razin so what man I dont care I eat it daily I love cow🤪🐄🐴 mooooo

Good advice. It could be expanded for the whole of India.

Been waiting for this!Well incredible as always🔥 and you do love pork a lot😁
I m a Bengali from tripura that pork salad / suyorer borta is my favorite 😋
I didn't skipped a 3 minutes of ad for David.
Same here😸
@@yakumtana3049 time to give david the ad revenue he deserves
@@x-tream4701 Yes. Sure 👍
U both r free n here to waste time
@@electroswordgaming8633 why are you wasting your precious Time in the 1st place?
In Assam, we have a wide range of pithas - fried ones, baked ones, steamed ones, boiled ones.. 🍚
Pithas, especially the dry ones, tastes better when eaten with Laal Saah (red tea) or Gakhir Saah (milk tea). ☕️
How come I didn't see him experiencing that in his Assam travels
@@juxt_aposition9935 the host was not good
@@juxt_aposition9935 That idiot Assam host spoilt all of David's Assam videos.
Fardeen Azad and we saw nothing because of kabya c.
@@juxt_aposition9935 the assam host was incredibly worthless. she ate the food she wanted to eat. she doesn't know anything about assam or assamese food.
I'm living in bangalore, missing my khasi food,feeling hungry and watching david taste our khasi food. Why am i doing this to myself
i miss shillong and khasi food too. I am also in bangalore but i make jadoh at home with some dokhleh :-)
@@ankahee2114 yeah me too but it's different. The beef doesn't taste as good neither is pork(contain too much water and has a bad smell to it). Whereabout in bangalore do you stay?
@@hepwar4501 i live in electronic city. What about you? And you are absolutely right about the taste of these meat here.
@@ankahee2114 i live in nagasandra. Quite far from your place.
@@hepwar4501 yup its quite far.
Man u can really eat . Thanks for representing meghalaya so beautifully
I miss shillong and police bazar my favorite place.. See you soon🤗🤗
David...I bet you got a great digestive system....
its a free state you can do whatever you want.
cheers bro.
Is it Westernized? Very progressive? The rest of India has been kept in the dark about the virtues of the North East! Are the accepting of outsiders settling there, the general perception being that they are averse to Indians from other States.
For instance see David here. Hope you got it peace✌
Wow ! Just amazing ! Just loving watching your vlogs when Bah Paul is there.
Pitha is the best break first more then puri- sabji.Because of it is not effectable. No oily, no masala .
Do you call it "Pitha" or "Phsitha"?
@@youngboi3727 it's pitha...with strong use of tongue in 'tha'
Sanjay Boro I buy pitha every morning and I call her Kong boro
Been loving every vlog. This breakfast was awesome and delicious... Is always good to try new food..
Now l know Shillong inside out. Thanks to David and Paul. You guys make a great pair. Together you can conquer the wold..cheers
yoo amazing videos exploring NE food, your channel is prolly the first of the famous travel bloggers to explore food out NE, hope to see your videos about other NE states
Scotland of 'The east'...
What meat do you want?
Shillong: Yes.
Paul..give him a helmet...thats important...safety always first...
Yeah u said well
Proud of my place...btw I saw David n Paul when they were passing through Lumparing
Paul is a such a great guide! Great video
I was in that bus this morning, the bus that keep honking..travelling from SHILLONG to Williamnagar.
I'm starving 😒 i want those food too ....
Can’t wait to go to Shillong and have Jadoh 😊
It’s really good David that ur exploring the food of northeast of India 🇮🇳
its hard to find the chai/milk tea you had..here in north east because we in the north east prefer red tea over the milk tea..and also up here N.E we prefer our chicken/pork/beef or any kind of meat to be a bit chewey and we like it with the bones🙏🙏🙏🙏
I am so proud of our north east states ,although I have never been to NE and also I don't eat beef or pork(nothing to do with religion , I eat fish , chicken ) but because each state is very unique and different. Well actually INDIA is like a whole world in itself soo much DIVERSITY it's truely amazing. So proud .........💕💚💟🧡
You got a good guide... Great job paul.
@@TravelwithPaul you're so awesome man. Lots of love from Assam
Hit like if u think this guide is better than kabachee
A 5 year old kid is a better guide than that moron in Guwahati.
I feel hungry when I watching you eating
I love eating Pork & beef .. who else love it ?
Meghalaya is not only famous about pork... Its also famous about many indegenious herbs, rice, organic vegetables I am sorry you didn't get to taste the pumpkin leaves soup cook in rice powder or sodium bicarbonate, patatoes leaves and many other sour leaves cook with dry fish which is very authentic refreshing and healthy meghalayan dish...come next time and explore the real meghalaya food in remote area not the oily fatty unhealthy Street food...
Bandamame Nongsiej ::: Those vegetable dishes you mentioned sound so interesting. I am so interested in new vegetable dishes as well as all the rest. Meghalayan food sounds so interesting!
@@Pammellam you are most welcome to Meghalaya... Come and taste the indegenious food cook in earthen pot and bamboos....
Paul introduced him to a real Assamese pitha in Shillong... While all K fed him was puris...
David's blog is turning into a food blog recently..... that's the power of North East food.....☺
I went to Shillong 3 times... Last time it was in lumpuring and it was so beautiful nd the weather is soo cool ...😍😍😍 I love Shillong
Lumparing
David please include Sikkim in your next trip to northeast India along with mizoram & nagaland, & please I request you to bring Sam also with u, it will be a superb experience for u ... I guarantee.. 😊
Yes.. please invite Sam with you
Sikkim is the bomb. Been there. Had a really great time. The food were great but man, the whiskey in Sikkim. It's smooth af, almost like scotch. Maybe it's because of the cold weather.
who is sam?
@@enrick2431 Sam & Audrey... Check his channel.., they together came in their previous tour to India..
David please do consider my above suggestion...
Love from Lumparing the best view.
Do you have some Buddhist Temple up there at lumpering
@@manjitsaikia29 yes.
David before when ever i started watching your video i started cooking first with lots of khasi dish variety of food man you got me going hungry when ever i look at your video..I'm a Khasi and my Shillong is fuckng awsome
Paul should take David to see the local archery game and also teach him to place bets. 😄 It'll be fun to watch.
Pork and beef is the best food to eat, megalaya awesome place to visit people r very very awesome. God bless magalaya
He got fan from all countries..
I do enjoy watching your video.
Come to nagaland, you ll love it here,
Dzuko Valley, hornbill International Festival, and food
He left India a month ago
He might come at december coz he put up a story whether to come nagaland or Kerela.
30% of dzuko valley for nagaland 70 for manipur so ur coming to manipur too
@@ironweldingworks1962 dnt start dividing again u piece of shitttt..
^thats the Northeastern Until right there. Smh
I love and support your channel so much that I never skipped an AD. More success to you David.
Much love from Manitoba, Canada.
Biggest difference between Indian food and Northeastern food( except Assam and tripura) is that we do not use Indian spices at all and we are more focused on meat be it pork , beef or chicken and we like the pure undiluted flavour of the meat.
Ya man he doesnot know assam and tripura....get some knowledge bro. Assam is very different. All you see is what they sell in cities and towns.
@@prayashborah1436 I commented based on what you people serve in restaurants as Assamese Thali and check out all the Assamese food videos, it resembles 80-90% to Bengali food.
It seems so funny even north eastern dont know their sister states and they say mainland indians dont know about north east.
@@deepgogoi5821 in terms of food flavour, Assam an Tripura has some connection with North and South Indian food. The rest of the States are very complicated and has own uniqueness. I agreed with #jack. I am from manipur
@@lifeisshort4377 no, it doesnot. We have our own unique cuisines. And we dont prefer using spices and masalas. You are commenting on what you see in cities and towns. And you know what, in assam there are various tribes, more than that in your states and every tribe has their own unique cuisines. Assam is very different. There is not just one set of food.
english captions 3:37 👌
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Booty so freaking good
I'm very proud of u when foreign eats Indian food we feel good coming from out of India plz give a heart
Northeast food looks delicious.. Suggest me some cooking Channel so i can try at home
Check out "eat ur kappa"
Eat your kappa.... The best one yet... i think She's a garo if m not mistaken...
@sam clark keep your opinion to yourself
@sam clark though I don't eat beef.. But that my personal choice you are no one stop to me what I should eat or not...
@@riyapoojary5131 type "northeast food recipes" in yt search, you will get a wide ranges. Each state of NE has a very distinct way of cooking even the same item. Eg the way naga cook pork is diff from that of mizo etc
Pork lover roaming around everymorning 😀
It must be named Porkllong lol anyways great vid as always😁😁😎😎😎
David you must try alu muri 😂

David you didn't eat kwai , You didn't taste khasi traditional drink and smoke smuk.🤣
Wtf😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂I want to see his face when he eats kwai...LOL
My cousin sister along with her husband, a Korean, came to our home in Shillong. I gave him kwai, he ate one, said bit dizzy and want more. I warn him but he insist. In the mid of eating his 2nd kwai, he started sweating and shaking, spit out the kwai and was flat on the sofa for the rest of the day, and I won't mention how many times he also visited the loo 😂😂
Bah paul, phi la ialam ia u david ban bam kjat sniang, pu-doh, doh syiar lokal
How do you eat all that food in such short amount of time..? For me I can only eat at the most four Puri in the morning then I'm done till afternoon...
