  • I always like to explore the Hotpot scene wherever I go, so in Saigon Vietnam, I went on a HOTPOT and BBQ tour ate at some local favorites.
    Location 1: Lau de 304
    This local hotpot place is awesome! The broth is DELICIOUS and the goat is not gamey at all. LOVED that goat leg as well.

    Location 2: Saigon Grill
    The passion fruit hotpot broth is insane! I also loved the view from the roof top.

    Location 3: Quan 909
    I was told that I HAD to try some water buffalo while in Vietnam. The meat was leaner than beef and not as flavorful. The broth I loved but the bbq was a bit underwhelming.

    Wish you had reached out to Sonny and do a collab vid with him when you were in Vietnam. He had the stingray hotpot ua-cam.com/video/E100ip3q47E/v-deo.html and also the lobster one in his lobster video (but he didn't show it since the lobster was 7 lbs and he was full). BTW, I cannot believe they eat the lemongrass like that...I've never seen that before as lemongrass is tough and should be minced if eaten. If it's used to enhance a broth, it can be left whole. Wow. LOL

    Non-gamy goat = female goat or castrated billy. It's possible that the restaurant buys only nanny goats. Like pigs, male goats raised for slaughter should be snipped at a young age. The hormones make the meat gamey. Thanks for the video!

      @lec8504 6 років тому +1

      anorc no canh chua is completely different than passion fruit. Passion fruit is a speciality at that restaurant. Flavor profile wise it’s a bit similar but canh chua is much more sour.
