Please don't be afraid of the product price. Just ignored "000" (thousands) because we (Vietnamese) do that too.

[@RandomMemeslmao]

yeah i was shocked to find out that 1 Swiss Franc is almost 30000 đồng

[@ferretyluv]

Dongs are one of the weakest currencies (this is why American companies love Vietnamese factories). So I’m not surprised with the thousands.

[@LillyPlaysRoblox1]

😂😂😂 Im South Vietnamese and i dont know any Vietnamese!😂 Im in Europe! Thats why!😂

[@ELYESSS]

@@RandomMemeslmao so if I go to Vietnam I can get as many dongs as I want?

We had an inflation period in former Yugoslavia in the mid 90s, where a chewing gum was 1 000 000 000 dinars. We just subtracted the zeros.

[@LucMarcelle]

Your avocados are also a completely different breed of avocado. German supermarkets, and western ones carry Hass avocados by default, which are the smaller ones that turn an almost black green when ripe, which are also grown in vietnam. Half the issue with produce in western countries is that because it's shipped such far distances to get to a grocery store from larger farms, it is picked before it's ready and table ripened at home, robbing the(fruit especially) product of the ability to develop flavor. The avocados you showed off looked like Booth avocados.

[@ChrissieSM]

Here in England, avocados are mainly imported from Peru or South Africa. They are very hard and you have to wait until they are ripe, but quite often they are rotten inside. It is so frustrating because Spain produce delicious avocados, but they are not often sold here, which is strange, because Spain is a lot nearer!

[@jeanproject5870]

A long avocados is native breed , code 034

[@HoaTruong-km9rk]

Vietnamese breed that long avocado ourselves. The name is 034. Tastier than normal.avocado

[@lantieunguu930]

@@ChrissieSMi really hate it when i cut the avocados that i waited for days to eat and they are rotten inside 😢😢

[@vomm]

But that's not the case with avocados. They don't ripen on the tree but on the ground when they fall off. The quality of avocados in Germany varies a lot. I find the ones in Kaufland the best, they are relatively large and buttery and eggy. You can get avocados thrown at you in Turkish markets, and if you're lucky, they're very good (but not always).

[@cmdrmke]

Thank you for the tour Uyen! It's funny how in most countries the cheap wine is on the lowest shelf 😂 in my language when we mean cheap wine we actually say "squat wine" (directly translated) since you have to squat down to get it

[@chloecrawford5426]

I love this 😂 it's so true!

[@TomatenUndZwiebelSuppe]

OMG life changes so fast I kind of forgot about the sugar thing. I'm not Vietnamese, I'm your neighbor a bit down south (Indonesia). I remember when I was a kid, the only way I consume sugar is through main meal dishes (as like seasoning), in milks (they contain a bit of sugar, right), or when I get sick, my mom would make me a cup of hot water, mixes in like 2-3 tsp of sugar, and soak digestive biscuits. And that'll be my meal before taking medicine. I think it's just because sick kids tend to not want to eat anything that's not SUPER yummy, so sugar water and biscuit it is.

[@fourHuman444]

Indonesia is beautiful. Very cantik. I want to see it one day, just like some asians would love to see europe. Best wishes

[@mahen9558]

Hahahah, my mom did that too. I'd like to eat my sugar water with Regal Biscuit 😅

[@montananerd8244]

Indonesian food needs to trend globally. I won’t lie, I do terrible American things to Indonesian recipes, but I’ve had it properly made and the real thing is so delicious!

[@Mysticalzelda]

In the Netherlands we also have shrimp crackers that we always get with our chinese food (which is partially Indonesian as well because of our past). But for some reason we thought: make them giant rectangles, that is way more appealing then chip size. It's so odd, but I personally loooove them. We do also sometimes do get chip size prawn crackers, especially when they're spicy.

[@justmutantjed]

It makes sense to me that beers like Budweiser and Heineken would be popular in a hot place like Vietnam. They're light, refreshing, and not overwhelming. I wouldn't want to drink a stout beer or imperial IPA when it's 25+ degrees C and 100% humidity out there. I'm not fond of Bud or Heinie, but I also wouldn't be mad if someone offered me a cold one.

[@thhseeking]

A Belgian 12 or more per cent beer would not be a good idea :P Even an 8% :P

[@tashastarling6573]

Oh now I understand why rock sugar is medicinal when you explained that! I mean if you aren't drinking sweetened things sugar can be a boost of energy. When I worked at the greenhouse, old people would often carry candies on them in case they got fatigued.

Who else loves Uyen and her content?❤❤❤ 👇

[@BerryBerry1465]

I really enjoy these longer videos Uyen. The snacks look so delicious 😋

[@JoacinoDaGona]

Budweiser, the original, made in Czech Republic, the birthplace of Pilsner style beer, is great. Budweiser, the american one made by Anheuser-Busch, is, as we Germans would call it "Plörrbräu" Bud Light, is flavored water, essentially what you get if you water down a Kölsch. Though I can't be mad at a fellow beer-enjoying nation.

[@blauebazille8530]

Ever tried a Kölsch-light?

[@heikosimon3088]

Watering down a Kölsch? That's like diluting water with water 🤨

[@l3enjamin5in]

I think US folks may not even know Budweis is the German name of a Czech city.

[@gordonstark235]

Viet beer is very good

[@Anson_AKB]

2:39 - _"here is the real beer section"_ ... *and also the fake beer section* ... @Joacino : i see *_"Budweiser Budvar, Czech Lager"_* right :-) next to *_"Budweiser, King of Beers"_* left :-( Many countries have rulings that only one may be named "Budweiser" and the other needs to get a different name. This seems to not be one of them.

[@thatnewchick]

Seeing the chip section made me miss this amazing Vietnamese Sandwich shop I was within walking distance of. I miss that place so much. Everyone was so nice and the kitchen always sounded like chaos. The owner had a little cross stitch on the wall that said something about how they aren't fighting in the back that's just how Vietnamese talk to each other 😆

[@phuonganhle3408]

talking loudly is our culture =))))

[@neiderin]

This was so interesting and you explained it in a very charming way. Please keep on making videos like this one❤

[@alviansyahsatriaperkasa8249]

I love snacks from Vietnam and Philippines. Yummy and not to sweet.

[@xwrtk]

My Vietnamese grandma does the same with the pasta like how she mentioned. She boils the pasta and then makes a stir fry type ordeal with the pasta.

[@CarJul666]

Thank you so so much for making this video. It's very interesting to see the inside of a Vietnamese grocery store.❤❤

[@poro9084]

as man in europe... i like cider.. i just like the flavor and i am not shy about it, also:D standing before budweiser and right beside it the true budweiser - the czech budvar

[@Kay77-kj7uz]

5:53 I believe this comes from french *Nouille* which means noodle

[@montananerd8244]

Very likely, as France colonized that region & it’s impact on Vietnamese food is so prevalent

[@suecampbell4811]

Many of us in the US consider some of our beers, like Budweiser, WATER. This is what led to so many craft beers gaining popularity in the US. I want some shrimp chips right now!!

[@hollylanevintagetreasures]

Exactly, I was going to say the same thing. My hubby and I prefer the local craft beers. Budweiser is nasty.

[@JW-hf9ev]

Bud will do just fine creating an alcoholic so be careful

Very interesting. Thanks for your hard work!

[@leannehowarth6939]

Yeah, I'm English and most English people who drink beer (I hate beer) avoid American beer. There's tons of English beers as well as imported beers. And no English person would drink warm beer, at home they keep it in the fridge and bars have cellars that are naturally cold but are chilled to make them even colder.

[@paeoniahsu2403]

As a new Asian immigrant in Germany, I look forward to learning more about Asian supermarkets or even Vietnamese food recipes.

[@donaldabint725]

A lot of my family worked for Chivas (we're from Scotland) and it was always really difficult to get Chivas or Ballantine's, because it was mostly being made for the export market. Entirely possible that there are some blended whiskies completely designed around what Vietnamese people like and enjoy, so it would make sense that Vietnamese would stick to that. The bonded warehouses used to be guarded by geese (they aren't any more, I'm afraid).

[@genshin95]

Anybody who is somebody else’s boss (or just senior) in Vietnam get gifted a bottle of Chivas at some point. Sadly I rarely see the bottle opened, most just sat in a glass cupboard being looked at while we drink beer lol.

[@donaldabint725]

@@genshin95 Ha ha! That's what happened a lot of the time to the workers in the distillery, too! They'd sometimes be allowed to buy or be gifted a rare or unusual whisky....which was always put somewhere to be drank on a special occasion - They can b hanging around for decades! :D :D

the tour was great.. you should have a part 3 or even 4... so much thing in the supermarket you have yet to cover... eg. can food, meat, fruits and daily item.. i think if you do a supermarket tour in more area, you can do up to 5 or ever 6 video..👍

[@Greatgodofcows1111]

15:33 When you said "white white white white" I legit thought of Kendrick Lamar's "Ain't Like Us" when he said "wop, wop, wop, wop." This video was so informative, and interesting! I will be getting a bag full of the jellies when I visit Vietnam eventually!

I can't remember everything, the variety of some type of items aren't great but they have it. And I'm not talking about a MALL, just the supermarket inside the Mall. Maybe cheap labour play some part.

I ♥️ Viet Nam!! There seem to be a lot of Korean products in the supermarket which is handy. I love how Australian supermarkets (near me at least) have so many of the same basic Vietnamese products just like in your video. That pillow looks very suitable for our climate too. Next time I go to Vietnam I must go through a supermarket, because I didn’t get time last time.
