If you see a VN dish that has broth and a plate of fresh herbs and vegetables, then it's a good chance that you should add those herbs and vegetables to the bowl, those things really dress up the fragrance and taste of the broth. If the dish has rice paper and no broth but the herbs and vegetables come with it, then you should add the herbs and vegetables to the wrap. I really miss the sidewalk fruit juice/smoothie. VN smoothies are such great value, so much real tree ripened fruits in a cup.

If you’re into dessert in Vietnam, gato trứng muối chà bông (Salted eggs and pork floss sponge cake) is a must. It’s a staple dessert in Vietnam, my go-to whenever I crave for cake. Besides that, you don’t wanna missing out on flan with shaved ice, coffee and condensed milk. I hope you can enjoy yourself in Vietnam because there’s just so much to offer.

[@PureDetour]

I am putting gato trứng muối chà bông into y spread sheet to try and find it. That sounds awesome, thank you.🙏 The Flan I can do without. I am not a fan of flan at all.

[@datgal2u]

@@PureDetour Not sure why Viets like that pork floss sponge cake as I don't think it's something Westerners will like. It's an odd combination for Westerners. Plenty of other great desserts out there that I think will mesh better with Western palates. Try the pandan sticky rice with coconut ice cream or avocado ice cream (popular in the Central Region). Better yet, hunt down the grilled bananas in sticky rice and doused in coconut sauce. This dessert won a SE Asian dessert contest years ago.

But you can try it with fish sauce as well) Xoi man Coffees to try: Coconut coffee (Cong Coffee makes good ones) Egg coffee (try it in Hanoi) Salted coffee (try it in the Central region first) Peanut coffee (try in the central region first) Desserts: Grilled bananas wrapped in sticky rice and doused in a coconut sauce (try it in HCMC first) Sticky rice with coconut ice cream Avocado ice cream (try it in the Central region first) Che troi nuoc (glutinous rice balls filled with mung beans and served with a ginger sauce/broth)

[@datgal2u]

The bun cha and bun oc owner is probably from Hanoi as those dishes are popular in the north. When you make it to Hanoi, try them there along with bun rieu (which is similar to bun oc). Also when you're in Hanoi, look for bun ca and cha ca la vong (turmeric fish). You can find them in HCMC, but they're probably different and maybe much better in their place of origin. The dessert you had is likely French-influence...yes, cream puffs, eclairs, etc., are associated with the French word choux (I assume su is the Viet pronunciation of choux).

Nice work Geoff!

Thank you my friend

You should try cơm tấm, bánh cuốn, bánh bèo, bánh canh, bánh giò, cơm gà xối mỡ,... for meals and some snacks like bánh tráng trộn or cuốn or nướng, gỏi bò near the "Pink Church", súp cua, gỏi cuốn, bò bía, snails, lẩu, ......

Đề xuất tuyệt vời, cảm ơn bạn rất nhiều. Tất cả những thứ này sẽ được đưa vào bảng tính của tôi❤️ I have tried snails, the first time appears in this video with Bun Oc. I also filmed snails again today for another video coming soon

Đồ ăn việt nam là 1 ma trận. Hàng ngày tôi luôn điên đầu nghĩ hôm nay nấu cái gì mới, ngon cho gia đình. 80% các bà mẹ Việt Nam có tâm trạng giống tôi. Chúc bạn chuyến đi thoả mãn đam mê ẩm thực và yêu văn hoá của chúng tôi, yêu cách bạn thưởng thức đồ ăn 😂. Bật mí là các món bạn ăn không phải là đồ ăn thông thường trong bữa ăn gia đình, sẽ có 3 món: 1 món súp rau củ + nước dùng ngọt thanh, 1 món kho là đạm thịt nêm mặn, 1món xào rau + đạm thịt nêm nhạt tất cả ăn kèm cơm = tinh bột + sơ + đạm + trái cây tươi vitamin là bữa chính trong các gia đình Việt và chúng tôi ăn mỗi món 1 ít, vừa đủ no bụng và ko để sang bữa sau. Giải thích cho việc tại sao các món ăn đường phố luôn kết hợp nhiều nhóm chất, khẩu vị rất mạnh trong 1 món và rất nhỏ nữa.

Lời giải thích tuyệt vời và cảm ơn bạn vì những lời tốt đẹp. Mong được gặp lại các bạn ở những video sau ❤️

@@PureDetour there are many kinds of snail. The one you ate is in noodles soup, the ones I said is in 'seafood' combines crab and mussels. They are cooked by different ways: steam, fry, boil, grill,...

[@PureDetour]

@lephuong9865, Thank you for clarifying. The video I filmed the other day will include oysters, scallops and others

[@chaub7268]

Have you try Vietnamese flan or Vietnamese coffee, those two you have to try before leave Viet Nam, i am glad that you enjoyed the foods from Viet Nam

[@PureDetour]

I have had a lot of Viet coffee, but I am not a fan of flan in general so I try and stay away from it. I just came from the Philippines and they love their Flan there too

[@datgal2u]

@@PureDetour Maybe try the flan served with other ingredients (saw an amazing concoction in Ninh Binh, I think, from Jayesh Chhaya's channel). Or the flan in coffee.

[@PureDetour]

@doodahgurlie, I have eaten flan all over the world. Just not a big fan of flan in general

[@vienhau8238]

have a nice trip sir 🤩

Holy mother of god is the correct reaction to Bun Cha

[@PureDetour]

😂 Thank you my friend. I was blown away with Bun Cha. Super excited to try it in other areas as I move throughout the country

[@datgal2u]

@@PureDetour You'll have to try it in Hanoi as that's where it originated. Look for the place that Will in Vietnam ate at as his looks delish. Yes, everyone goes to the bun cha Obama because it's famous, but it's not necessarily the best. Make sure you order the fried crab spring rolls to dip it in the broth/sauce.

[@huyene]

come to hanoi and ninh binh thats my favorite place

[@PureDetour]

Will be in Hanoi the end of March

[@datgal2u]

@@PureDetour Most Western vloggers love Hanoi and Ninh Binh. HCMC tries to be too Western whereas Hanoi keeps to its traditions, culture, etc. It has a charm that HCMC does not. When Westerners travel, they want to see something different, not something they can see at home and Saigonese people don't understand this as they are so proud of how "modern" HCMC is. Modern isn't always better for Western travelers. Besides, if people wanted modern, they'd head to Japan.
