Martha is the only one who ate the chè ba màu correctly because she mixed everything with the spoon. That's how the individual flavours blend together.

[@888katiechau]

I'm surprised that no one told them to mix it first before eating it. Every Vietnamese dishes on here is not correctly prepared, served and eaten.

[@ptrckwntzatthedisco]

Chinese-American, but love Vietnamese food. Haven't had chè ba màu and bánh da lợn in a while, but they're some of my favorite desserts. The other dishes didn't look properly prepared though. Bánh xèo is delicious when it's fresh, especially wrapped in lettuce and dipped into fish sauce. Phở looked soggy. Also, where's the lime, Thai basil, hoisin sauce, and sriracha?

[@trba_biko]

true, i've seen similar reactions with people not mixing other seasian drinks

[@thealmightyollar]

Banh xeo should be eaten fresh since it's pan fried. Eating it cold is like eating french fries after 15 minutes. Even if it's reheated it's not the same.

[@MikeC555]

I don't think most of these meals were prepared correctly. Soft Pho noodles usually means it's been sitting in hot broth too long. No crunch on that sandwich bite. Spring rolls had chewy wrap because it's dried up from sitting. It's also looks like they didn't touch the dipping fish sauce.

[@thealmightyollar]

@@MikeC555 Good points. I mainly focused on banh xeo because it's one of my favorites and the fact that they called it chewy threw me off

[@orbispictus6127]

@@MikeC555 Well actually, fresh Pho noodles in Vietnam are soft. Just don't confuse soft with swollen (as it's been sitting in broth too long) . I can't stand hard and chewy Pho noodles in Europe. Can't say for Pho in the US.

[@johnnguyen3023]

Bánh xèo must be eaten when it's still hot and crispy. Fish sauce has to be good. Banh xèo must be eaten with really good fish sauce, this would give an unami flavor. Without good fish sauce, I would not eat Bánh Xèo (even they're hot and crispy). Same thing with spring roll. Without good sauce with it, I'd not eat spring roll. The sauce gives unami flavor.

[@hockey1freak]

@@johnnguyen3023 my wife (who is vietnamese) makes Banh xeo and i eat it out of the pan... still not my cup of tea lol when i see egg color i think soft so it doesn't jive with my brain

[@ngocthieninh4355]

for a little bit more of information, Vietnamese dishes usually come with sauces the sauces will complete the flavor of the dishes and a dish can come with different sauces

[@aznmochibunny]

Glad you guys tried Vietnamese food, but for the foods like the spring/summer rolls and the banh xeo, those are so much better fresh. The rice paper on the rolls look wilted, and the mamahs said it was chewy, which is a big giveaway. The banh xeo, since it's pan fried, should be crispy, which is why they said it was rubbery.

[@888katiechau]

And I didn't see them dipped it the fish sauce. Probably people didn't show them how to eat correctly.

[@phoboogie]

forreal, food looks hot garbage. Banh xeo needs to be crispy.

[@v.j.3029]

I'm not even sure if the last noodle dish is actually Vietnamese, it looks more like a Chinese noodle dish. You can definitely add Sriracha to it for added hotness. And it's a shame they didn't try any fried imperial rolls (cha gio), that shit is to die for.

[@xwrtk]

@@v.j.3029It is from both countries(Vietnam and china). Each country has their own version.

[@badjokecoke]

I think it's cool how this channel started out with just Xóchitl and Lucy. Now we have a whole handful of Mamah's to enjoy 😌

[@josephmao5077]

I figured someone would take issue with sweet beans 😂. For some of us Asian people, savory beans took a while to adjust to as well

[@sherryillk]

There are savory beans in pretty much every Asian cuisine though.

[@josephmao5077]

@sherryillk My Taiwanese family never had savory beans other than the single jar of black bean chili sauce-which none of us ever touched.

[@sherryillk]

@@josephmao5077 Never had soybeans braised in anything? Or black eyed peas in soup? Admittedly we didn't eat many savory bean dishes outside of the fermented bean sauces but they do exist in Chinese cuisine.

[@angnguyenha7203]

Peas and green beans are common in savory dishes in vietnam, but black beans are not. I don’t like the Mexican black bean stew, it taste like fermented beans which is weird.

[@jordyngardner-nguyen1664]

i still cant eat beans in a savory way :,( im so used to it being in my desserts

[@jessicahuynh2116]

Martha is so cute and pronounces the item pretty well. Viet food is tricky sometimes. Everything is meant to be eaten together but is customizable. There’s always chili at the table to add spice but only if you want to. Banh xeo needs to be eaten fresh or it’ll get spongey vs crispy. Air fry helps. Spring rolls also should be steamed to bring moisture back to the rice paper and always eaten with sauce. You can also throw chili in the sauces. Pate is definitely an acquired taste. For a newbie, I feel like banh mi thit nuong would have been better. Glad y’all did this 🎉

[@vii3tpriinc3ss2010]

I love the 2nd mama, she TRIED AND LOVED everything! ❤❤

[@CrimsonStigmata]

Bánh Xèo should not be cold and rubbery like that. It's best eaten right after you make it. The outer shell is suppose to be thin and very crispy.

[@elsareza3143]

Y’all need to get Martha to Vietnam!

[@kristhymorales5526]

I love so much that Martha said that it’s good for her to try Vietnamese food in case she goes someday - THAT would be such a fun video!!

I'm Vietnamese and there are different types of things you can put into Banh Mi, they're not all the same and you can literally customize your Banh Mi depending where you go and like put whatever you want on it or they'll give you a bag of it. I am also picky what type of meat I eat on it. For Banh Xeo, my mom cooks it GOOD ASF and we just add soy sauce on it and it's the BEST and it's not bitter or bland or chewy, I think it was definitely made wrong here. It should be eaten fresh as soon as it's cooked

[@linetterios]

I just love Martha, she is open to trying things and always really enjoys the food.

[@CindyCindyBoBindy]

This! I love how these ladies honored the foods of another culture and tried everything instead of turning up their nose or mocking it. They were happy to say they enjoyed most of the flavors, and if they didn’t like something they acknowledged that it was just their taste preferences, not a condemnation of an entire cuisine.

[@bobbysmith8095]

Yeah I didn't like bean in Mexcian for a long time cuz being Asian, most bean were sweet. We don't have a lot of savory bean dish like Mexican. So I didn;t like the savory for a long time.

YES this was the episode I was waiting for! I'm so glad they enjoyed most of what they tasted. Also major props for having the correct sauces for each dish. I only wish they had the bbq pork banh mi instead of the cold cut.

[@v.j.3029]

Yeah, you can get a really good or really bad banh mi. Depends on who makes it, the ingredients and the quality of the bread.

[@nathanvalle6997]

In Southern California, its amazing to see the amount of Mexican and Vietnamese people eating each others food. The same use of lime, cilantro, fresh vegetables, tropical fruits, and spiciness I think makes it accessible to both cultures.

[@mph0682]

when banh xeo is fresh, its crispy and theirs is soggy. but when fresh, hella bomb

[@redash22]

i just love how open minded and respectful Martha is towards trying another culture's food. i'm sure there were some dishes that she thought wasn't that good but still had such nice things to say about it. i think it's hard for Mexican people to wrap their heads around the idea of eating beans as a sweet dessert dish so i understand the other 2 ladies apprehension, but Martha was willing to try and still didn't have anything bad to say about it. 🤭 what a sweet and adorable lady ❣ i love the part where she says it's good to learn how to eat food from Vietnam in case she goes there someday. 😁

I lived near to a large Vietnamese community in Southern California most of my life and was introduced to Vietnamese food early. Pho Bo Vien, Banh Mi and spring rolls with peanut sauce became regular staples for me are still three of my favorites to this day.
