Generations of DELICIOUS FOOD In The Heart Of Saigon | Ban Co Market

[@Macoi24]

Alright! You all know how much I love getting into a local market, but it is even better when you are with a local! Caroline showed me so many things and I am so happy to have had the chance to explore Ban Co market with her! Make sure to stay tuned in as new videos will be coming out EVERY MONDAY & THURSDAY! I cannot stress how these videos would not be possible without achefstour.com/ so please check them out if you’re interested. Connect with me other places!

Max McFarlin while you in District 3 I recommend you stop by at the place call Quan An Cô Liên her famous Beef Skewers with Wild Beetle Leaves just an idea lol

[@BIGJED75]

This is a step back mate. Camera work is terrible and audio is annoying. Don't lose your base.

[@Macoi24]

ha, I live a block away from there so I have eaten it a few times!

[@jonathanche3722]

I like how you and Caroline are just having a simple conversation while eating. It’s much more natural then just trying to explain the food. Really appreciate u doing this series. Keep it up Max!

[@Macoi24]

Thank you Jonathan! Really wanted to showcase Caroline because she's awesome!

[@anouland]

Loving the new format of the video. Great to see the lifestyles and local food cultures!

[@Macoi24]

Great!! Thank you so much for letting me know!

[@maihoang4085]

Most Vietnamese dishes cannot be without vegetables. He is one of the few Westerners who always eat a lot of vegetables. It is praiseworthy 😁

[@kha9867]

"Con chao ba". That's a deep respect! Caroline is such a well mannered lady.

[@Macoi24]

she is awesome!

[@chaunguyen-sy4du]

My house is literally a minute walking away from this market and all my best memory doing grocery and enjoying good food with my mom was here. Being abroad and watching this video triggers my home sick tooo much! Thank you so much Max for the video!

[@Macoi24]

It was my pleasure! I love this market as I live right next to it!

[@Enoxix.]

Max! I just want to say this new way of videos is just the best! Keep up the amazing content!

Thanks Wouter, I wanted to try something new!

[@ricardotongol567]

Hello Max part 2 with Caroline in Saigon. Grandma got the nack in making that rice cake rolls. Makes me hungry looking at you enjoy that eat. Caroline is a good guide and knows her food very well.

[@Macoi24]

she is so knowledgable!! Awesome personality as well!

[@davidmar442]

I am settling in to the new format, Caroline is a boss and y’all gotta love duck ANYTHING 😃❤️

[@Macoi24]

🙏🙏🙏

[@Xgmzydyk]

Yup, this confirms I prefer the old style way more. It's not just the sound either but the overall vlog feel of it. Please go back to your old ways, it was the reason why I subbed!

[@cafenullarbor]

Love the intro music, an audio metaphor of a swarm buzzing through the market! Good engagement with the history of the market. Nice work!

[@Macoi24]

Ahh thanks! I really worked hard on the intro so I am happy to hear you like it!

Hello

Dude you are till over there in vn? When are you coming back over here to cali?

[@phucmapvlog]

[@Scripner]

I’m not feeling this new format as much brother. But I’m hanging in here with you. Do your thing Max.

[@doodahgurlie]

Yeah, I'm not, either. The beginning of the first one was great and this one was okay, but the rest of it, I prefer Max being on his own. I think Max can have someone knowledge show him stuff on the side but then does his own commentary.

[@Macoi24]

Thanks Scripner. I've read all your comments and really taken it into consideration. Going to test some things out with the next couple videos.

[@annnguyenvu]

In with you guys, kind of finding it too slow and boring to watch. A little lifeless too.

[@myDClife]

I like new format. Always evolving

[@Macoi24]

🙏🙏🙏

[@lec8504]

I know you’re getting slammed with comments about the new format and I hate to add onto it but I def love your channel and want you to do better. This new format is beautifully shot, very journalistic and reminds me of the Anthony bourdain style of videos. However, what’s missing is the dynamic aspect of it. Bourdains personality was larger than life and brought a lot of life to his videos. However, you’re so much more subdued in these new videos, it’s almost like watching a different person . There’s no excitement or pure joy when you eat or see food life before. That’s where it falls flat for me because regardless of how beautifully it’s shot, there has to be a dynamic aspect of it to draw the viewers in.

[@Macoi24]

This is great feedback. Thanks so much for this. It helps me so much to figure out what I am doing right and what I need to improve on!

[@aniwee17]

Enjoy the vlog! Great job! Thanks.

[@Macoi24]

thanks for watching Mark!

[@Macoi24]

I am so happy to hear that you are liking the new style!

[@slkoay2969]

I actually like the old videos better because you faced the camera and talked to the fans directly so we felt like you're really talking to us and we felt your and cheerfulness enthusiasm. :D Does that make sense? :) Maybe it's just me.

[@Scripner]

sl koay I agree 100%

[@Macoi24]

Definitely makes sense. I appreciate your comment because now I know and can do better.

[@insomphoupiak]

Hello! Max, it is a kind of funny when Caroline showed a lot of concern when you reach for pepper. I know you can handle hot pepper way more that that.

[@Macoi24]

I also thought it was funny! She was looking out for me😛

[@thetipsycookery8268]

Looks amazing!!!

[@Fiona-rw8es]

When i was young, there was a stall in Ban Co market selling Bún bò huế ! I don't know if it's still there but it was the best! I had it for breakfast, lunch, dinner and still yearning for it....

[@Macoi24]

I only know of one in the morning. It's in the front by the main entrance. I am sure there are others. about where is this one located?

[@Fiona-rw8es]

@@Macoi24 this one is on the side of the market, branch off Nguyễn Thiện Thuật Street. Ít was a small stall then, I am talking about 30 years ago! Yes, I am that old 😏 I hope my son will learn to try Vietnamese delicacies such as mắm tôm as you do! Best wishes

Wow I can see u really love Vietnamese food right 👍👍👍😍😍😍😍

[@horriblehector8595]

Miss the old style which was more personal, but i guess everything has to evolve in order to be better.. cheers from Singapore!

[@Scripner]

Fat Horrible Basterd Old style was way better.

[@adumamai]

I miss it too..

[@BIGJED75]

I agree, we think something is wrong. The audio is terrible and missing the one on one connection. Some good shots mixed with terrible shots with Max's head cut off and dark, out of focus rubbish. Sorry, unwatchable.

[@Scripner]

BIGJED75 I wouldn’t say it’s unwatchable. I’m a big fan of Max, he’s trying out something new. I’m willing to go along for the ride and see what happens. Max, love ya brother.

[@ElieBei]

Too close in many instances, lots of back shots, not a good start but it can get better. Plus to make a documentary it takes a lot of resources, I think the old style suited more Max and his limited resources. Also, since he is talking to another person, you miss his excitement which was more apparent previously. No price mention which accompanied his old videos. Anyway, it's his channel and he can do what he feels is more appropriate.

[@Melva-Tjong]

If you like duck soup with cellophane then I bet you will love duck coleslaw with duck rice soup which use to be sold in Thanh Da- famous tourist area near the river. My mum often cooks rice soup when I was sick.

[@kennythai78]

One of my favorite all time snack “ Bánh Cuốn ” normally it’s comes with some type of fried fritters to go with it

[@BL-db6xt]

Even many VNmeses would not realised that the VN peculiarity is Nước or Water/Liquid. Nước chấm: dipping sauce, sauce, nước canh: soup, nước dùng/lèo: broth. So, Nước makes or breaks a dish. Nước determines the success or failure of an eatery

[@doodahgurlie]

Max, you might want to ask her to correct you when you say things wrong. She could have had you say "cuon" in banh cuon a few times until you get it right. But man, banh cuon!!! my family goes crazy over it (I personally like it more than banh xeo). And I typically just dump the whole bowl of fish dipping sauce into my serving as I'm not a dipper, either. The banh khot looks better than some of the ones I've seen in other videos (in the Saigon area, I think they typically make it more like mini banh xeo, which I'm like, "Hey, if I wanted to eat banh xeo, I'd order it!). Whereas like you mentioned, it's the crunchy outside and the ooey-gooey inside that makes a good banh khot. I think if you tried the central Vietnamese versions, you might like them better. I think in the central versions, they also make them with ground pork and there's more ooey-gooey inside.

[@Macoi24]

haha trust me I tried saying banh cuon 2194729 times lol. Yeah I am with you I love a good Banh Khot that is crispy and ooey gooey! Oh and I too dump all the fish sauce lol

[@VietNguyenDuc2710]

I would prefer seeing you explore everything yourself, tell your audiences about your true feeling than having a local go with you like this. Btw, sometimes because of the language barrier, the locals may fail to translate what they really mean and make everything more dramatic.

Common buddies, all VNmese dishes are about liquids. Be it broths or dipping sauces. I'd pour all the sauce into my Banh Cuon & bring the plate close to my mouth. I know, the dinning etiquette won't consider it lady like. However, when you're in Rome, do the Viets do. Having Pho, Bun ... the liquid splashed out. It's messy business, have your napkins handy when you have VNmese dish.

[@toanly1337]

you should try to colab with best ever food review show

[@jesse120891]

I have just found your vids and been watching some previous ones. Previous vids especially the one you were wandering around to try different types of soup trigger me a lot of homesick. I like Carol would love to show you as much as possible about Saigon food as I guess we are all foodaholic lol. I think this is a not bad video but the feeling of the enthusiasm when you were trying out the food is a little bit lesser. I couldn't feel the excitement and your reaction to try new food. In my opinion, a part of that is if Carol can get her tone/accent a bit softer and doesn't try to mimic too much the posh Brit sound would make viewers get more feelings. It won't make her speech become overacting which deffy relatively kills the emotion of listeners. I believe that the reason ppl prefer your previous vids is coz of your tone and emotions which are exactly right to trigger the sense of the food even on the vids.

[@Macoi24]

thank you so much for the feedback! Yes, I learned so much making these videos. Now I feel like I am able to make a video doing what I enjoy and also making it how people enjoy watching!
