BEST STREET FOOD IN VIETNAM | HO THI KY MARKET

In this video we are at Ho Thi Ky Flower Market which is also home to some of the best street food in Vietnam. This street food market, which operates as a day and night market, has a huge variety of cuisine. Of course, there's a ton of Vietnamese food, but you can also find food from Korea, Thailand, Japan and other places. You can get everything from grilled meats, snails, lobster, ice cream, chicken, and so much more. It very much resembles the types of street food markets you would see in a place like Bangkok, Thailand. The food is very reasonably priced. Most items are less than a dollar or two. They even sell flowers, jewelry, and other items.
The market is located in District 10 of Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon). It is very centrally located in the city so it is easily accessible. Whether you are traveling or living in Vietnam, you should absolutely visit Ho Thi Ky and experience the amazing things it has to offer. I was shocked that it took me five years of living in Saigon to discover this gem of a market, but I'm very glad that I finally did. I will surely visit again.

[@nhattanle4430]

Great to watch this video, your vietnamese is good ,enjoy the your trip , anyway hello again from US 😂

[@BigTimeBentley]

Thanks for watching and hello to you too!

[@hisnameisvu]

Just listening you speak Vietnamese is incredible, just being able to translate what you're eating is a skill in itself

[@BigTimeBentley]

Thank you very much! Still trying to improve

[@hisnameisvu]

@@BigTimeBentley in time you'll be fluent, I still struggle with a few words here and there, but its a useful skill to be able to communicate

[@BigTimeBentley]

@@hisnameisvu thanks man. Yea speaking other languages is a great skill to have

[@davenelson2270]

[@Shortkingtravels]

Good vid man y’all need to collab more often ! And I loved y’all how described the egg with so many details 😂‼️ keep it up man 🔥

[@BigTimeBentley]

Thanks man glad you liked it. And yea I’d be down to do more collabs in the future for sure!

[@user-zc9zt2vl5s]

You should do a collab with fat and broke also! He's another awesome Vietnamese youtuber!

[@BigTimeBentley]

maybe, who knows what the future will hold

[@nule8491]

Will let u get away with thinking the leaves are weird. Remember many countries use grape leaves to wrap meat. Koreans use those leaves for Korean bbq and it's mad expensive and rare to find... But your videos now is much more advanced with more experience. Your stuff.

[@BigTimeBentley]

lol word...yeah I think I've expanded my culinary boundaries a lot since I filmed this video a year ago. Hot vit lon doesnt bother me anymore either

[@TheRebornofSocialVietSub]

new vocabulary here, lên men = fermented. đậu hũ ( đậu phụ the north accent) = tofu

[@BigTimeBentley]

Thank you for the vocab! Cam on ban nhe

[@hungcuongnguyen293]

The sauce at the first BBQ pork vendor is called Chao which is a kind of fermented tofu sauce . She said Dâu Hu Lên Men which means Fermented Tofu and you understood Tofu Lemon , ha ha . Vietnamese is not easy to speak and to understand my friend . FYI those pork skewers are called Heo Nuong Gia Cây which means Dog Meat Imitation grilled Pork ( the dog meat is replaced by pork meat ) . That avocado stuff is not ice cream but a kind of avocado paste mixed with vanilla or coconut ice cream . Sometimes they add up some Durian sauce on it as well .This dessert is a specialty of Dalat where you can find a lot of avocado plantations

[@BigTimeBentley]

Man thank you for watching and your relevant comments on those moments in the video. Whatever that avocado paste was with the ice cream was absolutely solid.

[@TuanNguyen-mo5hz]

The fuzzy leaf that you eat with the grilled pork is called lá mơ. You don't need to say anything about the hột vịt lộn. Your face says it all 😆

[@TheRebornofSocialVietSub]

weird veggie in Asia because the western doesn't have it and are not used to it that's it. In my childhood, I hate all kinds of leaves in general. Now I am used to it and can eat a bund of it. The reason for veggie kind leaf in southern Vietnam cuisine is because we have a lot of random veggies in the jungle when we first discovered this land. and find out more medicine to fix your headache or stomach problem. Copy from what animals eat to fix themself. Also, the savoriness of Vietnamese cuisine is almost from Mắm ( fish sauce or some kinds of fermented things) sometime it's over-taste and needs a cool down. Vegetable helps it a lot.

[@BigTimeBentley]

Very interesting. Yea to us who aren’t used to these leaves they seem very different. But if they’ve got some nutritional value/healing properties I might eat some more of them! :)

[@TheRebornofSocialVietSub]

Chao is very common in Asia, especially for vegetarians. That smelly sauce with fermented tofu makes it so cheesy and fatty but not that many calories compared to the real one.

[@BigTimeBentley]

Chao you mean the sauce right? Because I know there is also Chao which is congee or porridge which is also a very popular and delicious food here.

[@TheRebornofSocialVietSub]

@@BigTimeBentley yes Chao means the sauce, cháo means congee or porridge

[@BigTimeBentley]

@@TheRebornofSocialVietSub thank you!

[@ric44n]

At 5:52, she said the dipping sauce is chao = fermented tofu. Not lemon.

[@BigTimeBentley]

Thank you. Trying to improve my listening skills day by day

[@ric44n]

@@BigTimeBentley ..you will get there with the language dude. Fermented = len men. Maybe that’s why you misheard “lemon”.

[@BigTimeBentley]

@@ric44n wow that’s for sure what made me think “lemon” which I think is “Chanh” right? But that’s good man thanks for the new word!

[@TheRebornofSocialVietSub]

that sauce was fermented tofu. Chao was fermented tofu.

[@BigTimeBentley]

Oh ok this answers my previous question lol

[@TheRebornofSocialVietSub]

that's phá lâu was internal organs all of it with coconut milk.

[@BigTimeBentley]

interesting I might give that a try some time

[@Kus208]

Where is this?? Hochimonh city??

hột vịt lộn = ballut.

[@BigTimeBentley]

True dat

[@antran-dn3qr]

Làm vietsub đi you

[@BigTimeBentley]

That’s a good idea. To be clear, you mean I should make Vietnamese subtitles for Vietnamese viewers to understand when I’m speaking English?

[@sonvduong22]

I don’t believe you eaten whole hot vit Lon

[@BigTimeBentley]

Haha I thought if I didn’t swallow it while that I would be grossed out by the way the inside looked. So I just ate it all in one bite and one very long chew.

[@YMinhLe]

This video is so boring

[@tuoinguyen805]

They’re do looks like 👍 to lam CA vịt 🦆 + eaten meat 🥩 good luck for your next time,?

[@BigTimeBentley]

Thanks

[@tuoinguyen805]

Do you know what’s the f vịt 🦆 + ,?

[@tuoinguyen805]

It’s dogs 🐕 meat 🍖 do you like that,?

[@BigTimeBentley]

nope

[@JvP000]

​@@BigTimeBentleyit's not actual dog meat but pretend / fake dog meat (usually made from pỏk trotters) often eaten with lá mơ.

[@Kus208]

Dog meat taste like chicken 😅😅fyi😅
