I love how everybody is involved in food preparation. These locals know how important it is to use almost all parts of the animal, and the meal goes deeper than just eating and drinking rice wine - they take time to really devour the meal, appreciating the deliciousness of the ingenuity of their labor, enjoying it and really having a great time together. Truly amazing!
I am in a nursing home learning to walk again and have not been able to cook since 12/15/21 today I get to cook and it is a good thing because you always make me hungry
I like this video most! Because, it's not only the food, you can explore about the culture too. They grill the duck with Clausena indica Daizell(mắc mật), that's not kumquat leaves! The countryside is so peaceful!
The sausage takes me back to my toddler years. I would run to my grandpa, who cooked a feast for his friends and point to all the dishes on the floor. He would fill a little bowl up for me and the first thing he puts are those fresh made blood sausage. Thanks Mark for reminding me of such a wonderful memory.🥹
Actually, the seasoning leaves they put in the bbq duck are not kumquat leaves, it's a traditional spice leaf called "mắc mật". The leaves and fruits of this plant have a characteristic aroma of essential oils and are not bitter like kumquat leaves ,you can only find it in the mountains of north Vietnam. From Vietnam with love!
Great choice of a homestay that actually makes authentic vietnamese food, not altered to (some) tourists' palates. This is the best Vietnamese series by Mark yet. So much nostalgia looking at these dishes.
trời ơi . nhìn là biết tuyệt phẩm rồi . toàn đặc sản vùng núi của VN . đến người VN như mình còn chưa dc thử nữa ấy . chỉ dc ăn những phiên bản bình thường chứ chưa được ăn phiên bản chính gốc như thế này . quá tuyệt
Mark, you are so frontline with the culture and how they prepare food right from the beginning. I’m in awe and very grateful you share this with us. It’s really another world!
Mark, watching your videos specifically of and about Vietnam helps gives me a little bit of peace in this new chaotic world. It's been over 15 years since I've seen my extended family back in the motherland.
Chào anh. Lâu rồi không về Việt Nam chắc nhớ nhà lắm anh nhỉ. Em cũng ở nước ngoài nhưng cũng thường xuyên về Việt Nam. Momg anh sẽ được về Việt Nam một ngày gần nhất.
Oh my goodness-Mark this one of the BEST videos you have ever done. I love them all but this video is extraordinary! The freshness of the ingredients, the kindness of your hosts, their commitment to fully communicate and share their food and culture-WOW I love this! Thank you for your work! I have always wanted to visit Japan, Taiwan, Vietnam and Thailand and now even more because of your videos.
@@MarkWiens you’re welcome. I love the way you enjoy eating foods and also your knowledge about culture, food ingredients are really awesome. Hope you enjoy as much as you can in Vietnam.
This would be a tough vlog for vegetarians and vegans to watch. Luckily I am not either. I am a meat lover and this made my mouth water! Kudos to Mark for trying everything. He has reached Bourdain levels of willingness to try everything.
Ở Việt Nam còn nhiều món ngon lắm bạn . Hãy đến Việt Nam để thưởng thức phong cảnh , thức ăn và người dân thân thiện + hiếu khách nhất thế giới . Chúng tôi luôn chào đón các bạn đến với Việt Nam! 😘😘😘
huge thank you for spreading the beauty of the landscape, foods as well as people of Tay ethnic group to international friends. I had a chance to live with Mr Thien's family a month when I was a volunteer of YESD. After watching your video, i meet them and these dishes so much.
@20:28...the fruit of a hard day's work in a small village..good people what a nice culture...now am hungry thank you Mark Wiens for visiting this remote village, Ha Giang...❤y'all
Thank you for coming to my country to filming about culture and local cuisine, and share it for all people in the world. Thanm you very much and very repect your action
cos there are lots of foreigners traveling to their hometown then they do have chances on meeting and communicating with the tourists by selling tours, riding tourists through the amazing loop, etc. This story is quite similar to Sapa
Ha Giang Loop is the most well-known tourist location for those who love to bike due to its spectacular mountain views. Gradually, the locals learn to speak English to provide services to travelers.
Việt Nam hân hạnh chào đón Mark Wiens! Hy vọng anh có nhiều trải nghiệm tuyệt vời với ẩm thực Việt. Cảm ơn anh đã ghé thăm và quảng bá hình ảnh Việt Nam ra thế giới!
Wow what a feast and scenery. Used to grow up eating food prepared this way back home. Not everyday but occasionally on some event. This is fresh and healthy, every westerner need to experience this to know how bad the preservative food in their supermarket is.
Such a wonderful experience for you Mark, this is something I’d love to do one day. The food looks so good, and everyone is so friendly. Thank you for sharing your videos with us. ☺️
True salt of the earth cooking. Cooking from what you have and using everything you have. Using techniques that are not by any means but by hand. Wow on wow
Im late to this video but its happy for me to see that our culture and cuisine from different regions of Vietnam is getting more and more well-known to foreigners. Thanks to Mark Wiens!
I really like the concept of "nothing is gonna go to waste" we are extremely wasteful here in Western Europe overall. Edit: Looks like I made some people uncomfortable with my view on this, but dear youtubers it's my view on things I like the idea of animal parts not going to waste. Please relax, if you have different view that's fine too. Have a great day
The Vietnamese went through a long war, and the country had a long period of poverty after that. All they have will be the best possible food, and that makes up the special culture of this country. As a Vietnamese, I am very proud of my country as well as the culinary culture as shown in the video.
I wouldn't say nothing is wasted...when you see what they throw out in middle of central Vietnam, it's insane. Kilos of passion fruits, lemongrass or something that is growing there anyway
@@laterlater8348 Im sorry I offended you but you know it's true. I used to buy chicken gizzards to cook from this asian store in the city but at one point they even stopped selling it. Im not saying something I dont try to do myself.
I'M VIETNAMESE BUT NEVER SUCH EXPERIENCED A DAY ...YOU'RE LUCKY .THERE 'S SUCH A DAY , YOU HAVE TO LIVE TOGETHER WITH LOCAL PEOPLE .THE VIETNAMESE ARE REALLY KIND ...WITH ALL OF PEOPLE ALTHOUGH WHO YOU ARE...
these are the best episodes where you see real traditional meals cooked by locals in the village ... is just amazing foods.Marc would love to see you in scotland in the highlands for traditional cooking mmmmmm hagis
Five-color-rice is also very popular in Guangxi Province, China made by the Zhuang people. And the meal presentation is exactly like the Dai people of Yunnan, China
The Dai people in China and the Tay people in Vn are the same ethnic friend. Just different in pronunciation of Chinese and VNese.. just like Viet Nam is pronounced Yue Nan in Chinese. Tay people in Vn crossed the border and can communicate with Dai becoz they speak the same language.
This is STICKY RICE not normal rice fyi. Not only 5 colors but more or less as how many natural ingredients (to create colors) they can find. As this is the place where northern ethnic people live, they might have the same origin as some ethnic people in your country. Therefore, they share the same kind of food, that is super ordinary.
I wanna try their sea foods for which they are famous. I try their Pangasius fish fillets exported to so many countries. In this video I loved the natural colored five types of rice, although not sure of their tastes.
Most dishes of VIETNAM are made from fresh food, and especially meat and fish, people will choose natural farming, not much industrial food, not frozen..and of course. There are many rich spices of Vietnam, as well as combined with the art of each locality, so it creates a dish with a taste, very unique, very special, not easy to find elsewhere. , thank you for sharing !
Shoving tons of seasoning, different veg, herb, spices into birds is a way to make them super tasty in grilling, smoking, slow roasting. Make your Sunday dinner tasty.
I don't know abouy anyone else but everything their making looks fantantic. I haven't even seen the whole viedo yet. can't wait to see the finished product.

Yes it is true .. when ever i watch his video channel.. it make hungry...
Hi Julie, thank you so much for sharing. So happy you get to cook today, and hoping for a complete recovery.
Wish you speedy recovery!
@@MarkWienshi mark its good to know that you are in fiji
Fresh food is healthy food. God Bless Vietnam!
Mark is like a global ambassador for ethnic and cultural unity for all the nations of the world, in a way.
that way is 'through the belly'
Definitely 👍
Mark looks like he didn't get much sleep for this video 😂 Great food and content as always 👌🏾 😋🍗🥬🌶🫛🍖🫚

thanks for the correction. Mark tries hard but I think many things get lost in translation
Corrected, the name is Thai หมากมด (Mak mod) so Mark can understand better
I think in Thailand they also have that “mắc mật” leaf. They called “lamb mint” which means “bai-mui” leaf in their language
vịt nướng lá mắc mật. Vợ yêu chồng :)

This is the best Vietnamese series by Mark yet. So much nostalgia looking at these dishes.
What a great community and beautiful village. God blessed you all, with love happiness.
Great video! This is a remoted part of Vietnam , the Vietnamese are so charming and welcoming, really enjoyed this episode.

Truly Anthony Bourdain journey. Thanks for being so authentic. Rest well. Love your videos.
Welcome to Ha Giang, north of Vietnam. Hope you enjoy all things in Vietnam, especially our food.
8:21 they used leaf called “Clausena indica” to put inside the duck and pig.
looks awesome!
Are the ethnic Tay people similar to the ethnic Hmong people and Mien People?
Thank you very much Hoang!

So good to see the community get together and enjoy cooking and eating that wonderful food.
This is one of his masterpieces.
Could not have watched this without eating at the same time.
Such beautiful looking food!
I really was blown by the Vietnamese hospitality and welcoming nature..this was spectacular Mark..👌👌
Gorgeous country and very friendly people too.
The fact that we get free food & travel videos on UA-cam by Mark is truly a gift. 👏👏👏
He travels around the world and tried many dishes but has yet to dislike anything he put in his mouth. I'm not sure if he's an honest food critic.
I think it's great that you brought back Vietnamese food, I love it,I'm also practicing making videos, looking forward to being taught by everyone
Going to Vietnam in October ! I’m glad you’re posting all these videos

Wow this is awesome thank you for showing us the food scene in Vietnam
When Mark said it was the BEST blood sausage he ever had, I believed him. That blood sausage looks delicious.
Mark when ever I have an anxiety or depression your videos calm me down like an antidote 😢
I love episodes like this that highlight food from the countryside. Keep it coming Mark!
Tones of energy on the table with all yummies food...and respect to all the local cheerful boys and their booze pouring from the mug.😍

To have good food is to eat whatever the locals eat and you certainly know how to do that wherever you go. Great work, Mark. Thank you.
