This Is How They Treat Tourists In Vietnam 🇻🇳

I am still in Ho Chi Minh City, or as it was previously known: Saigon. Today, I have to leave my hotel and change to another one. That opens the opportunity for to to see and get to know a new and different part of Ho Chi Minh City. As I am new here, I am curios to see different parts of the town. Join me as we more to another area of Saigon and have a first walk around. Of course, we will also try more Vietnamese food in this video. I once again, stumbled upon some delicous Ho Chi Minh City street food.

Location of the restaurant: Quán Ăn Cô Liêng

You won’t see many tourist places in my videos, I rather like to show the “real” sides of each country in my videos. Where do the local people go to eat? Where do they hang out? How do the locals travel through the country? Stuff like that.

I absolutely love Vietnamese banh mi, one of my all-time favorite sandwiches. It's an explosion of flavors, textures and freshness in a sandwich that is satisfying but light and healthy, unlike western sandwiches that are more heavy, dense and meat/cheese packed. I live in California where I used to get a good banh mi for $4-5 but since Covid, the price doubled to $10. Very sad about that.

Vietnamese oranges are so bright in color, they look like watercolors!
Ken you are so cute sitting in that chair, like a giant sitting in a Hobbits' chair!
That baguette is really becoming more and more famous, it is even sold in my country!
Your lunch is very interesting, it is like making crafts. In fact, it is Vietnamese spring rolls. Great job, thanks a lot for sharing! 👍🤩🙏

The best description for Vietnamese cuisine is customizable. Each dish have its own unique feature but you can customize it as much as you like. Like the spice, the sauces, the herbs... Make it how you like it :3

[BreakawayBites]

Fresh juice and Banh Mi.... what a way to start a morning. Pretty much easily accessible to find Banh Mu all around the city. ..Again, traffic situation in HCM is just another level.... OK .. taking some lessons in Vietnamese cuisine here... pretty much like how you would eat Korean BBQ meat wrapped with some salad leaf & some rice...Nicee!!! Happy exploring and take good care out there. Cheers mates!

Hi Ken,
I used to work and live in Vietnam. Those baggets are tasty and crisp, and they are made of rice flour.
Just ensure that the vendor is wearing gloves when making a sandwich for you. I have enjoyed living there for two years,
people are warm and friendly. The old generation speaks fluent French, which was nice.

The soft drink you got at the restaurant is called Xa Xi or Root Beer . It smells like medicine . You can also find it in North America . One of the herbs she put in the roll tastes effectively like fish . We call it Rau Giâp Ca ( Ca means fish and the full translation is Fish Smelling Herbs ) . Not many Vietnamese people can eat that leaf including myself . It's also a medicinal herb used to prevent measles for kids ? The juice lady said that only apple, orange and carrot can be mixed together to make juice . The banana can't be mixed with the other fruits because of it thick consistency . It's only used to make smoothies .
I hope you will stay longer in VN to enjoy more delicious food and see more beautiful sceneries here . Just do a short Visa Run to Cambodia and come back right away then stay 30 more days in Vietnam .

Beautiful vlog Ken, really original and real, keep it up mate

[curbsplitter]

Hi Ken, one of my future destinations is Vietnam. I live in a Vietnamese community here and I am no stranger to their culture and food. I was surprised that the restaurant did not give you a bowl of hot water to soften the rice paper for making the rolls. It is still delicious with all the ingredient so it's all good. Such nice people and amazing food. Crossing the street...hahaha quite the experience!

[Terry]

Ken’s videos are great for picking up travel tips, discovering new destinations, and getting inspired for your next adventure.

[AuntyJack]

Excellent entertaining video and yes that's rice paper. It would soften with the juices of the food maybe. Good job with the camera and eating today it seems more natural and easier. The food looks super delicious! Oh my gosh yes all the yummy cakes and pastries in Vietnam 🤤

[sarahr]

Happy to watch your video again, waiting for your vlog every day to see what's the latest.
I love most when you were with your mom, I could feel your love for her and your mom was so happy. You are a good son, 👍👏
God bless you always with all your travelings 🙏
Take care !!

[MrJitzing]

You’re meal at 31:00 is «Banh Cuon». The plastic thing is called rice paper and they used 1/4 of a whole one. It is possible to dip the rice paper in water to soften it up. That’s what we do in Norway when my mom makes Vietnamese food🤩

Hallo Ken!!! 25:37 das ist frühlingsrolle reispapier. Ich hoffe du die Vietnamesische Küche mag und wünsche dir noch schöne Zeit in Vietnam 🌴😍

[MK-xdbz]

Thank you for giving me 40 min of entertainment and thats the success for you ones people liked your work ken.

A bit too late but anyway welcome to my hometown! And you are very close to my place! The narrow street you passed by in the beginning of your clip is actually a night street food area, used to be very busy at night, you can explore it later in the evening! You are eating beef wrapped in piper lolot leaves, which has very nice fragrance, quite traditional food! You still can find many good eating places along this street - Vo Van Tan, from famous Vietnamese bánh mỳ (baguette) to Hu tieu Nam Vang (Khmer noodles), from Beef noodles (Phở) to Broken rice (Cơm Tấm), from Chinese noodles to Steamed rice rolls (bánh cuốn)...all my favorites! Enjoy and have good time in Saigon! P.S : the sauce you dipped your roll in - made from special fermented fish sauce, different from fish sauce using in daily cooking!

[Mary-hxwh]

Such healthy food in Viet Nam! And the hotel and food is so cheap!

[maithithuytrang]

Ken, that called Bò Lá Lốt (Beef and lolot leaves) in viet nam. I highly recomend you try: Bún Bò Huế (Hue Noodle). You can visited and eat a lot of delicious food in Đa Nang, Phu Quoc, Hoi An, Hue, Miền Tây, Can Tho. You can also try Bánh Mì Bò Ốp La, Ốc (Snails) Bánh Canh (Banh Canh), Hủ Tiếu (Hu Tieu), Bun Dau Mam Tom (Bún Đậu Mắm Tôm), Phở Bò (Pho Bo), Mì xào (Mi xao), Bánh Xèo, Nem Nướng, Bánh Nậm Lọc Bèo Huế, Chè Huế.

Great vlog Ken. I do like the longer vlogs. Hopefully you can get out into the Vietnamese countryside soon on the motorbike, should be a fun experience.
