[@Macoi24]

haha sorry for the big gap in posting, but decided I wanted to try something new. I hope you all like the new style because I have created enough content for one month. After that I will see what y'alls response is and then i will go from there! Much love as always. Be sure to join the livestream on @simplymax 9am the 12th (Vietnamese time). EDIT: Locations are in the description box

[@NoMatterWhat27]

Thank you so much for announcing the live stream schedule... It's been 4 months since last streaming.. can't wait to join you

[@ArnoldLeeuwtje]

I love your enthusiam and passion for food! You're amazing!

[@Freakattaker]

I don't mind the editing cuts, but I do prefer there to be no music. I like the more "on the ground" feel you get when there's no background music.

[@zstink9058]

Dude, I'm Vietnamese born in America and your pronunciation is better than mine! Thank you for not butchering the names of the food. Very impressive!

Look at how he crossed the street, bro is more vietnamese than American at this point lol

If I’m not wrong. He has a Vietnamese girlfriend, that’s why his pronunciation is nice and sound like a Sai Gon citizen

Quán đầu tiên phục vụ cả bún lẫn chả giò trong một phần ăn, đúng là tiện lợi, “2 trong 1” luôn! Còn ở quán thứ hai, bạn phát hiện ra “món phụ” không ai muốn: bị nước cống tạt vào! Biểu cảm của bạn lúc đó không thể nhịn cười nổi, dễ thương hết sức

I am writing from Thunder Bay, Ontario Canada. I was at a Vietnamese Salon and these beautiful people recommend you! I have been watching your videos for 2 days! You, are amazing! We are heading to Da Nang in December . We were there last year! We are going back cause we loved it so much!! Thank You!! For all the recommendations!! 💥

[@jasonwu2758]

As a Vietnamese born in Taiwan and grew up in Australia. Heading to Saigon before 2025 and it's been too long, will take all your recommendations you, LEGEND! Your pronunciation is on point brother. First watch and subbed!

[@bunnyhelper7791]

I love love Vietnamese foods soo healthy and fresh

[@lazyjaney28]

There are many Vietnamese restaurants in the US and even on Facebook, they ship Vietnamese foods from fruits to snacks to your house. Just look around where you live if you live nearby Vietnamese community. Foods in the US is much safer than in Vietnam. There was just a case of food poisoning in Vietnam involved more than 300 victims. Food poisoning in Vietnam happens like on a daily basis from children in schools to outside foods.

Max là người Mỹ sống ở Việt Nam đã lâu, anh ấy đã và đang làm tốt Video các món ăn VN. Cám ơn bạn tôi thường xem video của anh ấy.

[@giannishen]

The first restaurant combines bun and spring rolls. It’s so convenient to eat two kinds of food at one time! At the second restaurant, you discovered that the biggest danger of eating on the street is getting splashed with sewage. Your expression was so cute, haha! The third restaurant is very similar to a Stir-fries (Stir-fried Food) Restaurant/Shop in Taiwan. I wonder if you have tried it before, I believe you will like it! That bowl of noodle soup at the fourth restaurant is so rich in ingredients and looks so appealing! The fifth restaurant sells not only noodles, but also human touch. Everyone sits on the chair and eats noodles together. It feels very warm! The way you hold chopsticks is very standard and deserves praise! Thanks a lot for sharing, really great job! 👍🥰👏

[@AndreImmabe]

The first place is actually using bún noodle not phở noodle

[@thuonghuynhthingoc9367]

I like your comments for being specific about each stage. We so sure that the 1st combination is not only convenient, it's also real tasty (much depends on the good sauce, in fact). To be honest, I have never considered Bún chả giò to be a combination of two kind of food. Like... who eats only noodles, right? it would be tastless. they must have something to go with the noodles. But maybe it's because of the food culture that I grew up with is different to the others.

[@Cuoc_song_hai_phong]

Vốn chả giò hay miền bắc gọi là chả nem được làm ra để ăn kèm bún, sa này theo thời gian nó mới được tách ra thành 1 món ăn riêng biệt

[@redrobotmonkey]

They didn't invent that. That is a normal Viet food dish. Bun and spring rolls and pork.

[@clairedsc5807]

We loves you Max. Thank you of love for my beautiful Vietnam.

[@mindyn590]

Hi Max, I love the video, and you are so fluent in Vietnamese with the southern accent. That’s cool 😍

[@jasonvo7643]

Love this new documenting and editing style. Keep up the good work, man!

[@Mouse2409]

My husband and I just went back to Vietnam for 2.5 weeks, mostly family matters but we did enjoy our stay, minus the heat and traffic noises. I can make most of the Vietnamese dishes in the US but I cannot find fresh meat or snails like those they have in Vietnam. In short, we really enjoyed the snail dishes we had in Vietnam. Your video just makes us wanting another trip back already, and we had just arrived home yesterday! lol...

[@hp4415]

Do you have any Asian grocery near you? Might have to go to several different one but some do sell fresh snails.

[@AmyMiracl3]

I send this video to my friend who's travelling in SGN atm and told them just follow exactly where he ate. This guy really knows how to eat good foods

[@Try2KeepUpK]

Love the new editing style bro. Huge respect from Texas 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 Thank you for sharing and inspiring. I look for the food you eat here locally 🤟🏻 Ps my tounge is crying to taste this!!!!

Watching you reminding me of my best friend, white western friend always love Vietnamese food that my family always welcome him over for pho and bun Bo hue on the weekend and enjoying my mom cooking. Ya awesome!! You rock!!!!

[@inaustralia7]

Hi Max, from Australia. 🇦🇺 Loooong time follower, first-time commenter. I have always loved your style of holding the camera and filming yourself - it's one of the reasons I've continued to follow you on KZbin...but THIS new format is awesome!! Love that we can see you 'in front' of the camera (not joined to it), and the editing and general vibe of the video is fantastic! Very professional, and can't fault it. Massive thumbs up from me! Moving forward, a mix of old and new would be great. Thanks for the content.

[@Chiklet42]

You’re the first KZbinr who knew NOT to eat the poop part of the snails! I cringe every time I see a video where the person pops the entire snail entrails into their mouths. Good job Mac! We will be visiting Saigon in 2 weeks! Hope to bump into you!

Great episode Max! I like your vlogs, but the production value on this one is fantastic! Glad you have a camera operator, b-roll shots are really good, and great edit. Love this format! You need to be on Travel Channel with this format!

Life's been a bit cứng with me, and once again see your video on KZbin recommend make me smile like when I was toodle, ahahah You've gone so far and so fast, and you ate enough Vietnamese food, enough that sometimes I think you're more Vietnamese than me :P After this comment maybe I'll disappear again from the social network for year or so idk Can't wait until the next time I see your channel Love from Vietnam, Max
