What NOT to Eat in Vietnam, Why Banh Mi is so Famous? | Vietnam Culture Series: Eating

[@dominichill1492]

I'm learning more about Vietnamese culture by looking at you're videos. I'm so happy you upload a video this morning. This is the best channel to me.

[@sutannguyen8599]

Good for you Dominic Hill..

[@blackpinkgbrchannel7638]

Me too

Your voice HN is so cute like chim hót 👍👍

This kind of culture promotion is what tourists need the most. Honest, but also attracting enough to make tourists interested.

[@drewcorry5056]

WOW What An Outstanding Video From Start To Finish

[@JoeB1946]

Vua Bánh Mì is my favorite, when I am in Saigon I eat their Bánh Mì three or four times a week for lunch. Everything is fresh, their stores are very clean, and you have a very large selection of different ones to chose from. So tasty. Bánh mì Như Lan is also very good, I think it is a famous place for Bánh mì in Saigon.

[@martinshemlowski1274]

When I was younger I had Vietnamese spring rolls, the flavour was awesome. Would love to have them again but the lady who made them has passed away. But have found recipes and use them,so delicious.

[@pube4745]

"Gỏi Cuốn" & Chả Giò (nem chả), they''re all good to me . ;-)))))

[@arpeeayson8872]

nice content.. hoping that 1day I can visit vietnam and try all those good food that u recommend.

[@RobWhittlestone]

I had a south Vietnamese mother-in-law who cooked like a godess: I LOVE VIETNAMESE FOOD! However I'm not too keen on blood pudding. I love Banh bao, Nem, (Cha gio?) and lots of dishes I don't know the name of!

[@caseylymn]

You found haven. You lucky.

[@dotrinh]

I love Vietnamese Banh My so much, especially Hoi An’s Banh My and Saigon’s Banh My. I highly recommend you guys.

[@atngo2117]

Phuong's Banh My righ? I love that.

[@dougm3037]

In the good old days when international borders were open I spent a lot of time in Saigon. For breakfast I alternated between Pho Bo and Banh Min op la. I always went to the same pho place because they supplied a big plate of green vegetables with each customer. There was also a reasonable supply of condiments including sliced lime. They gave my complimentary tea occasionally as I was a regular customer. Hardly ever saw a westerner there even though it was in district 1.

[@WhatThePho]

Good memories, I miss the normal life as well, hope you are safe and well!

[@tamhong7181]

Thank for coming to KZbin. Your videos always be the best to me

Like the banh mi very much but now also know about its history as well. thank you for this wonderful vlog full of interesting info😀😀😀

My wife is Vietnamese and we enjoy watching your channel.

[@DCTravelerExperience]

Loved the story behind the sandwich. I’m going to tell that story when I have that sandwich next month as I’m traveling to Vietnam 🇻🇳

[@chasemorris7390]

I’m learning everything I can about Vietnamese culture so I can impress my Vietnamese girlfriend and her family and your videos really help!!! :)

[@kennydoan2790]

I'm a Vietnamese-born American and I just eat instant noodles such as MAMA, Hao Hao, or Nongshim for breakfast every day. Also, I eat those Vietnamese "breakfast dishes" for lunch on the weekends because my parents have time to cook those special meals on the weekends. Sometimes I eat a fried egg with banh mi or banh mi thit for breakfast if my family bought banh mi loaves and cha lua from a Vietnamese supermarket.

[@WhatThePho]

Sounds great! Thank you for sharing!

[@BreakawayBites]

Love the room deco.... Soup..Noodle.... Banh Mi.... Yummy!. Stay safe

[@vanphan9318]

In fact, "Quang" noodles in central Vietnam are the only breakfast food, or even eating at other times, it's full of nutrients, more than "pho" and vermicelli. the price is cheap. "Quang" noodles have a variety of vegetables, There are peanuts, eggs, shrimp, chicken, snakehead fish, frogs,char siu meat...etc. to change. add pancakes. In general there is flour, protein there, green vegetables of all kinds."Quang" noodles are cheaper than "pho".

[@manoyski3555]

My typical breakfast was banh tet/ banh chung and soya milk. Occasionally xoi mang or banh mi anything fast so I can catch the bus. I used to work in Saigon and Hanoi from 1995 until we moved to California in 2001. Those were happier times.

[@henryhenrywang5333]

In Australia, Pho looks like southern Vietnam style. It's my favourite food, l often drove more 15 km to my favourite Vietnamese restaurant to eat it.

[@jerryboyd7086]

Another great episode with lots of good questions! I have a request: could you share with your followers the story about how broken rice became popular in Vietnam? (I already know the story, as it was told to me by a friend from south Vietnam.) Thanks!

[@WhatThePho]

Great idea! I'll make a video about that

[@jerryboyd7086]

[@KinguArk]

[@CKxperience]

[@JUNAHMAILO]

another great episode. I am really excited to travel there.

[@zak6957]

I agree with everything you say, although Pho is a great decision for a rest of your life meal, for me Hanoi Bun Cha and Nem from my favorite restaurant is something I couldn’t bear to separate with.

[@khanhle7917]

thanks for your great helpful videos chi van

[@bobbowie9350]

went to vietnam right before corona. the food in Hanoi was so good! slightly surprised how much the pho was different than in the USA,

[@sgcl10658]

Pho in the U.S has similar taste in the South of Vietnam. The flavor in the North is different.

[@travelbumtexas159]

hanoi is a nice cuty to visit fir few days, but the ciry is limited on foods. i love bun cha in Hanoi, but its very rich in fat. saigon is the city for culinary delight and it will satisfy your hunger and all your senses.people from saigon are true Iron Chefs!

[@avtv.vietnam3381]

Đó được gọi là hương vị của quê hương 😁 chỉ có phở được nấu và ăn ở Việt Nam mới có vị như thế

[@TuNguyen-yx5ow]

Thats the original Pho, pho is come from the North

[@TuNguyen-yx5ow]

@Kartik Kale not usuallly in the local shop,

[@thichivi9417]

I've seen all your video . Really helpful video. I can learn english from your video too. Thank you so much .

[@mrchongjh]

Ty for your personal and sincere sharing about food from your country. It's videos like this that will spark my interest to maybe visit Vietnam in the near future. Keep up the good work.

[@chuongha9530]

I was born in Da Lat, but both my parents are from Hanio... But what I can remember growing up in Da Lat and Saigon (early 70s) Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner is basically the same. Mom just mixed it up.

[@jesusarias6943]

Very interesting and informative video. Thanks for the advice.

[@thumtlnguyen3626]

You're lucky! Where I live in Quebec city, Canada Vietnamese foods are cooked mostly by amateur chefs.

[@jimmypage032]

I was in Ho Chi Minh two weeks ago and walking along Ben Thanh market, the vendor offered me snake wine! I politely declined since I’m horrified of snakes but thank you for telling us to avoid it! I watched your videos before my first trip to Vietnam and I fell in love with your country during my stay. I’m already planning for my next trip back! Thank you for your informative and fun videos Van! It’s youtube channels like yours that should thrive and get more subscribers! Cảm ơn!

[@motorcyclingindonesia667]

New in Vietnam and your videos are Really very helpful.🎉

[@michaelgodard3998]

Wow such a diverse array of different types of food. So different than typical American dishes which are basically the same no matter where you are. I’m so excited to return and try everything.

Wow you are totally amazing - sending you both huge love and hugs xxx

[@PaulDoig-d9k]

That was fascinating, thank you. You should do a Vietnamese language course for foreigners!

[@nobodynothing00000]

I think for me it's the texture of the bread, the crunch of the pickled veggies and then the hero, the roasted pork. Don't forget the spicy mayo. It all comes together very nice.

[@patrickpepper412]

Thanks for great information on Vietnamese food. I love eating Pho in the USA.

[@wanderlostfilms]

Great video! Love these tips!

[@arlene0725]

This is very helpful. My favorite pho place is in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. It's a hole in a wall restaurant but their Pho is out of this world 😀

[@roumighosh2925]

Hey! M so happy dat I came across ur channel। Learning about Vietnamese culture and food before visiting the place is exciting। Going to visit Hanoi in October।😁

[@laughter95]

Mr. Simpson! So respectful lol. I'm missing out big time on northern pho. Idk why but it seems like 98% of pho in the U.S. is southern pho. It's just as rare to find shops serving fresh banh pho like in VN.

[@GeologyDude]

I assume that after the war, most of the Vietnamese that immigrated to America were from the south. Therefore southern pho is more common for that reason.

[@laughter95]

@@GeologyDude yeah, your hypothesis is probably correct. But there are still many northern-accented refugees outside of VN. Despite many of them having moved to the South during the war, I would think the prevalence of northern pho elsewhere would be greater than what it is currently-- basically non-existent.

[@TuNguyen-yx5ow]

@@laughter95 i saw a lot of northern pho restaurant in New York btw

[@user-eh2hj8bx6O]

​​@@laughter95 The people who were born in the north originally and moved to the south before and during the war and then left when the Viet Cong took over went on to university and became engineers, doctors, lawyers, accountants, etc. in the U.S., Canada, etc. Source: my whole family and extended family and all my parents' friends. These people do cook northern style foods/use the northern flavor profiles at home, but just for friends and family. The only people I know who ran/run restaurants or nail salons are the newer immigrants from the south who didn't or don't have the opportunity to pursue higher education. I know some business/restaurant owners originally from the south who were too old or were already married with children and couldn't go to university so they eventually opened up small businesses. I'm seeing more restaurants opening up that are northern style these days.

Hi Van, hope you had a great BD, but great and honest advice about food satey in VN. 👍

Very well done video, well researched and presented. Also I agree with you, if I only could eat one thing for the rest of my life….PHO!! Keep up the good work!!

[@CaptainKremmen]

It's so interesting that some dishes become famous and spread around the world, while others don't. Bún bò Huế looks delicious, but I've never seen it in Vietnamese restaurants around the world. I guess I'll just have to go to Vietnam to eat some.

[@coffeemilk4080]

Once Prof. Philip Kotler also mentioned this problem. He said that this has something to do with the national marketing. He said that Vietnamese cuisine is fabulous. Unfortunately, it is not so widely known in the world cuisine map. Comparing to Italian cuisine from Europe, Chinese, Japanese, Korean cookery from Asia, the Vietnamese cuisine is underrated in the public view.

[@doilavothuong1732]

Nó có trong các menu của nhà hàng VIỆT ở MỸ đấy

[@TheChillenchick]

You can find that dish in America, California in orange county. Th eden center in V.A. lots of places also sell it in M.D.

[@sirhoopalot1]

Growing up in VN, I always had xôi for breakfast. There are dozens of varieties and they’re all delicious.

[@matthewstein6838]

you are making me hungry. I live about a mile from Chicago's Little Vietnam. I am going to try something other than PHO or Bahn Mi, my normal orders. the info about Bahn Mi is Sooooo unsurprising. I am glad to hear that the Vietnamese at least tried to make it their own. I also hope they open up to Americans soon. there are several countries in Asia I have yet to go to and Vietnam is on the bucket list.

Xin chao Van, I would love to watch a cooking video with you where you make a Pho soup! :) And some tips on what did you change in the recipe in the US when you didn't have all the Vietnamese vegies and spices. Please, I really want to make my first Pho soup in Europe :) Have a nice day!

[@manhthai44]

We’re really happy because you want to try cooking phở , but as a vietnamese person i would suggest you buy the spices from Asia market . Phở is not a Phở if we change the recipe . Love from Việt nam

That was good. If I ever get a chance to come to Vietnam, I will know much more about its regional cuisines. Thank You!...

[@janchxxheonczsekk6412]

Good content! My absolute Vietnamese food is Bo Nhung Bo (beef grilled with butter) rolls. Close second is Bo 7 Mon, Bo Nhung Bo, Bo Bia, Nem Nuong, Banh Uot, Banh Khot. Gosh soo many Vietnamese dishes I love as it's my second favorite cuisine in the world. Pho is not even in my Top 15 best dish for me. In terms of soup, I prefer Bun Rieu and Mi Hoang Thanh over Pho. I have to say I really really hate Bun Bo Hue though.

[@thefilthytruthexposed1587]

You like thit bo but what about goat? Thit da is the bomb!

[@the_hiroman]

One of the best tips on eating is seeing if the place has lots of customers or not. If there are lots,even a queue, then it is a good sign of not only being safe, but delicious. This applies to pretty much any country though.

[@Simshady888]

Yummy! I love Vietnamese food! Looks so delicious! ❤

My hometown is located on District 7 in Ho chi Minh city. When I was just a little boy, my parent introduce me yo this banh mi food stall called “banh mi 7 (or 17 I can’t remember”. I’m 21 now and when visited my hometown 4 years ago, the stall still running just like the old days. I even picked same old banh mi I already picked from them. It is the special banh mi with minced meat and whatever that heavenly delicious sweet sauce they put on it. Since my aunt just opened her Vietnamese restaurant in Chicago not too long ago and one of her popular dish is banh mi. If I ever visited my hometown ever again, I’ll have to stop by that stall again and ask them for that sauce ingredients. They’ll mostly likely share it with my as they know me ever since little and is one of their frequent customer. They even know what banh mi I’m even gonna those as obviously I’ve ordered that one ever since little and hadn’t change it.

[@Shanghai1688]

Great tips.. Nam has changed since I was there ..

[@mohavie2360]

hell yea.. one food i can eat for the rest of my life would be Pho.. so easy to eat, light, organic, savory, and yet hardy all at the same time. best part is it just flushes thru my system very quickly so i can continue to eat again about an hour later. this is very helpful because there seems to be a whole lotta places to try in Vietnam.
