Eating For LESS THAN $5 In 24 Hours | Eating Challenge Vietnam

How CHEAPLY can you eat in Vietnam? Pretty darn cheap, yet still delicious. This video was a chance to do something fun with my friend Allie. We wanted to see how cheaply we could eat for a day! So that being said, lets get started.
First place was closed, ha! So we headed for a dish I have been wanting to try but haven't had the chance to eat, that is Com Chay. A rice dish that is cooked twice over a hot flame and in a wok to “crisp” it up. This cooking method gives you a rice cracker like product that is perfect for dipping in all that nuoc mam sweet sauce. Oh and all the pork fat that is in there too.
Next, we headed up to Phu Nhuan to eat some cheap banh mi because you cannot have a cheap day of eating without some banh mi. This time a little different as we went for a Banh Mi, that was stuffed with Korean flavors! Still flavor packed and a nice way to mix up the taste buds on this cheap eats day.
Of course, one dish that is harder to find in the south, Banh duc. A rice flour product made by an Auntie deep in some homie neighborhoods. This wet version is one of the best I have ever had. Loaded with fried shallots, pork, mushroom, mung bean, and more are thrown into this bowl. A cheap meal to help hard working people stay full and keep on working.
Lastly, a dish I am still not sure if I love or hate. Khoai Mi, with coconut, scallion oil, corn, peanuts, and sugar. Strange forsure. Apparently it is loved as people were extremely excited to eat it.

Just a guy from Arkansas chasing his dreams of traveling the world, meeting amazing people, and trying all the delicious food I can find!
I am from a small farm in the states, I am now taking advantage of the opportunities I have to travel the world in search of some of the most delicious foods, unique places, and friendliest people.
A lover of street food, good laughs, and learning about other cultures. I hope to indulge in all these things and more as I bring you along with me on my epic journeys.

Loved your comment on the crunch. We call out the "New Orleans crunch". It's how we know the bread is made right and fresh. Love po-boys and banh mi in New Orleans. I enjoy your videos very much Max. Love Vietnamese food. You give me ideas for my Vietnamese food here in Southern Louisiana.

[@djsweetdaddy3215]

I like all your videos, but I especially love this one. Absolutely amazing what you can get for a $1- 1.50 in HCM. You’re making me miss the street food so bad!!!!!

[@doantong6443]

Max~you should be so proud of yourself. Your shows are one of a few shows on my favorite list. I just don't like everyone shows, only a few that I have selected. Your shows are one of them. Fantastic job, Max!

[@AnLe-fk2mn]

Max, just discovered your channel, I really appreciate your appreciation for the Vietnamese culture. I see big things coming for you. Guaranteed!

Allie English is excellent w cute smile. I love simple food like this especially hole in the wall place

[@VuTubeShorts]

Hey man! It’s good to see someone finally enjoying normal street food from random everyday vendors in Vietnam! I’m sure the people are just as grateful for the exposure, great work 🇻🇳😁

[@shogunanimations2099]

Bánh Mì with Cà phê sữa đá, that's perfect meal!

[@MrXanaru]

[@ohappydays667]

I like this girl, great collaboration and chemistry. She speaks great English too for a local girl. Maybe do a $100 day next time to treat yourself and her a little.

[@amandadarrk1391]

So good! Thanks for another awesome vid. Brighten up my boring work at home day. Lol. Keep them coming please. 🙏 ❤️

[@quynhanhnguyen7017]

Woo hoo another video 👍. Allie is so cool. Love her personality. Everything looks great. But I am not sure about the last dish "Khoai mi xay". I never had it before. But it makes me think of mashed potatoes so much. And I can't help but feel quite confused about the taste along with you and Allie. The way you and Allie' s facial expressions and description is priceless. Hahaha 😁

[@ricardotongol567]

Hello Max and Allie, great street tour and searching for great food. The first one is closed! Now the search continues. Busy road make the searching fun. Success, good food to eat.
