Omg Trang speaks even better English than Tyler 😊😮😂

[@BigTimeBentley]

sometimes she does lol

[@robertnew4568]

Her language skills are truly amazing! Marry her now! Don’t let her get away!

[@Mr.DJones]

Thank you for your time and posting. Late October slowly approaches. Side Note: One reason I subscribed was that you always say please and thank you and are courteous. Very few vloggers in VN do that. Actually, very few people do that anymore. It was 106/41 degrees today in Las Vegas. :)

[@BigTimeBentley]

cheers man I'm glad you subscribed and that you're enjoying the videos :)

Hi Ben and Trang. It always great to see both of you in the video together! The crawfish was migrated to the west coast from Louisiana Cajun Foods. After August of 2005, the hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans destroyed the entire city and it went under the water. Many Vietnamese Crawfish Restaurants were destroyed and moved to Southern California Little Saigon and established the crawfish restaurants in Westminster, Garden Grove where you and your father ate about a month ago. These restaurants are very popular in California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oregon, Seattle almost all of the south. Sometime you have to wait for almost an hour to get the table. Have fun and be safe out there

[@nocancelcultureaccepted9316]

It’s a waste of money eating at these crawfish joints.

[@BigTimeBentley]

very interesting insight!

[@SimpleLivingForever]

@@nocancelcultureaccepted9316 I agree, I don’t like it, but my family do and many others

[@USNVA11]

Another great video ! I have no doubt that your channel is going to really pop with a little time. 😃

[@BigTimeBentley]

thank you! we shall see

[@_SeeIt]

Good to see this video, I stayed down an alley off that park for a month. Some of my favorite HCMC moments happened there.

[@BigTimeBentley]

awesome!

[@jonwear9791]

Ben and Trang the A team you are both great at Vietnamese food critic

[@BigTimeBentley]

thank you so much!

[@a_sea_oasis]

Trang passed the shyness to miss Frosty the white kitty. Trang looked pretty and peaceful ⚘️ Thanks Ben and Trang for this video. It was awesome to see Trang with Ben 👍

[@SiriphoneG]

Making me hungry… now I want some banh mi 😅

[@ethanscaturchio1511]

Trang looks so happy :). You guys get along great, happy for you 😊

[@user-xh1rc2ng5r]

Nice pair, Trang is young & pretty! I love bahn mi 🎉🥳

[@ht1089]

You are very lucky to have a beautiful woman like Trang in Vietnam

[@chesterphung1143]

Wow Tran looks as lovely as ever😊😅😢😂😮

[@SiqFix]

Your girl is cute good job!

[@geraldvanness2937]

Love the channel! Makes me want to visit Vietnam! Friendly people.

[@Westup253Pyro]

Vannda playing in the background nice lol

[@mickstape555]

I think the Banh Mi on any corner in HCM would beat the ones you tried. I had some amazing ones when I was over there a couple of weeks ago. Missing Vietnam already. Thanks for the vid, nice to see Trang again, you two are looking very happy.

[@BigTimeBentley]

yeah you can find some really great banh mi throughout the city...thanks!

[@FrankButtersworth]

Bro is living his best life

[@ac2877]

New subscriber. Love your videos of Vietnam! Your girlfriend is beautiful, your attitude and appreciation of the land and its people is beautiful, Now, I must visit Vietnam sometime this year!

[@BigTimeBentley]

do it! and thank you for watching and commenting

[@kvn95240]

Keep it going! Great video!

[@BigTimeBentley]

thank you!

[@chesterphung1143]

Oh Yummy delicious 😋.

[@JackWilliams-lv9bj]

How do you live there full time? We would love to but V doesn’t have a retirement visa. Great vid as always!! Keep them coming

[@michaelmartello6202]

Congrats you got back with her. :)

[@bearmerica6668]

Nice video. I still say Trang has been in the West for a very long time. I've lived in Louisiana, after you peel the tails shelling, you can pull out the poop line, lol. Most of the time there is a separation of the lower half of the tail and the small top part which separates and you can get that nasty part out. I love crawfish.

[@babehc]

You gotta eat crawfish cajun style when you visit home back in the states

[@thuytran4518]

Enjoy bánh mì nấm rơm 👀👍

[@FlemmingDP]

Interesting that many of them speak English...and then its really good to see you too together. :)

[@BigTimeBentley]

yeah at a festival like this I think they expect a large amount of non-vietnamese speaking tourists so they probably prepare a little bit for that and bring some people who are decent at English to their food stalls if possible

[@Jahalang82]

I need to talk my wife into going to the banh mi festival the next time I’m in Vietnam. There’s just something about the French baguette in Vietnam that there’s nothing like it in the US. I could destroy a large French baguette by myself if you give me some condensed milk for breakfast.

[@msgofast]

Just found your channel of David khai, I'm Aussie married vietmanese wife 10yrs, lo e going back to Vietnam , local festival like this not common, how often it on? Vietmanese women love feed us up, very easy to stick on the lbs 😂

[@hoanluu3469]

So happy for you two. Trang’s parents are the big help, right?

[@BigTimeBentley]

her parents are great people

[@TinhVutXaUocMo]

May would always tell me it's worth eating cakes and the passion fruits :P

[@tonychang9354]

Your gf is so good to hit, and she allso so smart. She can speak better English than me despite i live in CA

[@ChrissieSM]

I wonder why you bought the same sandwiches at the beginning (mushroom banh mi). Thank goodness you did no repeat it. You would have been limited, tasting wise. On another note, is the food at those festivals dearer than street vendors' ones?

[@BigTimeBentley]

yeah we should've just bought one at each place...yeah I do think the festival food tends to be slightly more expensive

[@longdang3602]

Thanks!

[@TramHicks]

4 quid seafood shrimps

[@TuanNguyen-mo5hz]

Like your shirt. Are you a Smashing Pumpkins fan?

[@BigTimeBentley]

yeah I like their music

[@tingle6048]

Why don't you get mary ? ❤❤

[@scratchtotable]

👍👍

[@TramHicks]

So far he spent 6 quid food

[@ChrissieSM]

What is the green drink at the end of the video, what does it taste like?

[@BigTimeBentley]

pennywort juice or rau má...kinda tastes like a green veggie juice, maybe somewhat like kale

[@jimmytran9585]

👍♥️🇺🇸

[@lopat4826]

Thank for the black dress , i don't know they was built like that over there

[@offhamsterwheel2789]

Tyler, i have n't seen you do a Black Skin chicken soup video, should do i

[@BigTimeBentley]

what's the name of that in Vietnamese?

[@hoanluu3469]

Gà ác hầm thuốc Bắc, I think that’s what it’s called.

[@maryssaadams9421]

She didn’t want to show you because I don’t think she even knows how. Seems like it was geared toward being “viral” on TT right now, not a local dish. Much cheaper here in US and that just looks like a terrible version of Louisiana style crawfish lol

[@kenttang9037]

👍

[@xdgs567z]

Does this park usually hold festivals?

[@BigTimeBentley]

at least a couple a year I think

[@keithhogg1963]

When was the festival?

[@BigTimeBentley]

a couple of weeks ago

[@MadawaskaObservatory]

You're GF sounds American!

[@lopat4826]

not Louisiana style crawfish

[@michellely2006]

Hi. Where was this at ? Is it still going on today .? June 22nd ?

[@BigTimeBentley]
