Welcome back to Vietnam - the country of endless possibilities of street food, just seeing your face expressions is so heartwarming.. hope you guys have an amazing time in Vietnam, I look forward seeing what you guys get up too
Bạn nghỉ tiếng thái của bạn rất phổ biến trên thế giới à.😂 nhưng tiếng việt là ngôn ngữ của tình yêu đang thu hút một lượng lớn người hàn quốc theo học tại việt nam.👍🇻🇳
in the "Streétide Lemon Tea" Have you noticed that the little girl in red who handed out/in the drink & VN.Đồng with both hand. That's the gesture of respect in VN and other Eastern Asian culture, eg. China, Korea & Japan
Wake up at around 6am if you can, the air is nicer not too hot and all the smell of street food will makes you happy. You guys Should move to Vietnam. I MISS HOME SO MUCH. THANK YOU!
@@EllisWR yeah, it’s quite difficult, specially the tones. When I went to Bao Loc, near Da Lat, people out there use less tones when they speak, they understood me so good, I was like local there. But here in Saigon, or other places a bit more complicated, then you got people from the North with other accents 😁
I watch a few of your vlog now and I subscribe because you got it about yhe Vietnam people. They don't beg anyone. They will fine a hustle to make money. They might not be rich but they have pride. They would rather pick up recyclables to have a meal then beg. I was born in Vietnam and live in America for 40 years now. Im fluent in Vietnamese and English with no accent when I speak either language. You two are awesome. Have fun and enjoy the memories.
That's something that Sonny indirectly mentioned in his video about 5 years ago. He was doing the floating market tour and a disabled/handicapped guy came up on a boat selling lottery tickets so he bought some and mentioned how even disabled/handicapped, the guy was earning his money (basically not out begging, something you see a lot in other countries).
@@doodahgurlie Such a high level of respect. It's the same in Mexico etc people don't beg they sell and work, even if they have no legs they will try their best. Then you go to other countries which I don't even have to name and as foreigners everyone just asks us for money or to pay for their food etc... No respect in the society's. Vietnamese people are great 🙏
@@EllisWR It's been over a dozen years since I was in Mexico, but I recall the young kids begging when I went slightly outside the tourist area. One of the young guys in the touristy Cancun area basically befriended me to mooch off of me...I was too nice and naïve back then and should have seen it for what it was. LOL! One of the reasons Sonny chose Vietnam is he said the people are very hard working and he also notices the entrepreneurial spirit or innovativeness of the people. Chad Kubanoff and WillinVietnam also noticed and pointed out those traits recently.
27:08 - It is so rare to see local viets speaking english, hopefully she doesn't lose her vietnamese language like many outside VN 37:55 - First one is cane juice (nuoc mia), second one is pennywort juice (nuoc rao ma), third one is soy milk (sua dau nanh) 40:02 - Those balls are just pork meatballs called siu mai. Not picked papaya, just pickled daikon and carrot
Great viewing Elllis and Alicia 😊 Perfect first day in Saigon. The fresh cooked pork, then the fish noodle dish with the lovely young woman. You couldn't ask for more. Really good to see you both looking relaxed and happy.
32:00 It's actually 8,000 dong each "con". They use "ngan" and "nghin" interchangeably, also with "chuc" and "muoi". I'm so happy I found your channel my dude. Cured my homesickness instantly.
Loving the Vietnam vlogs from both of you. In the south, they’ll call pork thịt heo rather thịt lợn as we say in north. Looking forward for more video of yours to come out in Vietnam ❤
Thanks so much. Yeah we've learnt that pretty fast our Northern little bit of language is not very good here ahah. I keep saying café nau also instead of café sua da
Looks like you’re happy to have left the Philippines. Some decent vids from there as well as hospitality but definitely everything is better in Vietnam & Thailand
Hi guys, I like the place you are staying. It is so quiet comparing to the hustle and bustle of the city. I can only listen to the traffic noise, the beeping and honking for so long before the headache sets in. lol
As dessert , I recommend the cocktail made of red beans , tapioca and coconut milk with crushed ice . Some westerners are reluctant to red beans as dessert but it's not bad .
At 10:00 when you eat the bun ca chau doc fish noodles, the yellow flower is bong dien dien , or the dien dien flower, that can only be found in the Mekong Delta region of Vietnam. Chau Doc is a city in the Mekong Delta. The fish is ca loc or snakehead fish.
tôi là người Việt sống xa quê hương .nhìn các bạn cười và ôm nhau với cô gái bán bún cá làm tôi thấy ấm áp tình người với nhau. các bạn không chê quán nhỏ hay quán không nổi tiếng ( vì thật ra ở vietnam bây giờ rất nhiều quán lớn hơn kinh doanh bài bản và chuyên nghiệp hơn các quán siêu nhỏ trong video và tất nhiên ngon hơn và hợp vệ sinh hơn ) nhưng 2 bạn luôn khen ngợi làm tôi thấy cuộc sống tươi đẹp hơn. bạn gái bạn và cô gái bán bún cá có những nụ cười với nhau là những khoảnh khắc đẹp mặc dù rào cản ngôn ngữ .
WOW your video popped up I thought it was an old video from Haiphong until I read the word Saigon, welcome back. This is what you find online "Vietnam is reportedly also the cradle of 272 dishes made from 43 different flowers" Years ago a Vietnamese gameshow asked which country has the most flower dishes in the world, everyone made the wrong guesses and shocked to find out it's their country Vietnam. The lady said "bông điên điển" ( điên điển flower) . Most of these flower dishes are regional dishes so not all Vietnamese know about them unless they're from that particular regions . There are several different regional dialect words you might want to know: - Northern Vietnam: pig or pork "Lợn" .......southern Vietnam: "heo" - Northern Vietnam: flower "hoa" ..........southern Vietnam: "bông" -Tra Tac is tea + kumquat - fish sauce with rice is not a dipping, it's meant to pour over the rice.
I understand the cultural aspect of eating with your hands in the other places you visited. That said, as a viewer it much more appetizing watching people eat with utensils lol. Love that in Vietnam there are so many fresh greens with all the meals
Were glad to be back to it! Some super cool food coming over the series we spent our time eating our lives away here aha. Cheers for watching appreciate you.
We Love Philippine food morw than Vietnamese food. Philippine food has that Spanish flare . As we say here in Australia . Vietnamese eat everything we throw away from the West . Looks dirty and yucky . I got hospitalized in Vietnam after eating food in Da Nang . Never coming back to Vietnam .And people are so fake . People smiles , but says bad things about foreigner . They didnt know my buddy speaks Vietnamese . Bad people tbh .Cannot trust those Vietnamese ... Be careful....
@@wahoowahoo2341Are you a real person? Watch my videos from Vietnam then The Philippines, it's clear in just a couple of minutes where is supreme pack in the delusional comments.
Hi Ellis and Aleisha. What is the name of the street and area you are in. As we would love to travel to Saigon aswell. We are not keen on the staying in the hustle and bustle of the main tourust areas. The food and friendly people /locals look so good where you are. ❤
Tại sao coffe trong đó lại có giá 24k thay vì 12k như trên đường phố. Vì khi ngồi ở đó bạn có wiffi miễn phí và bạn có thể ngồi đó từ sáng đến tối🤣. Và bạn có thể xin thêm 1 ly to trà đá mỗi khi hết❤
I love how you called it Saigon ❤ No one likes a dictator! 😮 You really can't go wrong with broken rice and grilled pork chops ❤ Death row meal right there 😅😂 Com Suon. The banh mi guy was a bit confused because you said heo quay which is roast pork and then pointed to the meat balls. Their oranges are green and the sua dau nan is soy bean drink, also very refreshing! 😊
@@EllisWR The Vietnamese language is one of the hardest languages to learn, as it's tonal. Living there will make it easier however, having a Vietnamese friend will definately help. So much delicious food, so little time 😂😂 Also, you can always ask them to cut your banh mi in half, you can tell them no sugar in your drinks, and no msg in your food bowls! I am loving your Vietnam videos. New subbie here. I am Australian Vietnamese ☺️
@@ericamary6778 Yeah it's tough, we speak a little Thai so keep saying Vietnamese words with a bad accent. We'll keep coming back and learning everytime and make more friends! Thanks so much 🙏 Where abouts in Australia?
@@EllisWR I live and work in Sydney, Australia. My parents arrived here after the war so I have been here 45 years now. I was a baby. I have an aussie accent and my Vietnamese is not fluent at all. Just a bit better than your Vietnamese lol 🤣😂 I look forward to seeing more of your videos. Thanks so much for showing us! X
Loving your vlogs.... Expecially these hcmc vlogs as we're heading back for our third vist next year....would you mind sharing where you are staying as the area looks like somewhere we'd love to explore? Thanks and keep them coming PLEASE❤
Like 9 more coming I think! So we stayed in the Tân Phú District and it was such a nice area the people were the nicest ever. The address on maps is - Chung cu topaz garden & center. Thanks for watching 🙏
You know most of Vietnamese people will be very happy and appreciated when the others give them a lottery ticket which indicate a good luck. thank you very much for telling Saigon instead of hcm city like many foreigners.
The name of the city is HCMC, though. If he knew the history of Vietnam and what bitter overseas Viets are attempting to do by INSISTING that it be called Saigon, then he should call it HCMC. I do it out of spite to southerners even though I grew up calling it Saigon...especially after learning a bit more about the war.
@@EllisWR It's fine, but know why the overseas southern Viets will praise you for it or insist you call it by that name. They have an agenda that is extremely skewed and should focus on moving forward, not back. If they want to go back, then truly study what happened before, during, and after the war, then spit facts, not emotions.
Banh Mi Tho Nhi Ky is Turkish Doner Kebab . Bun Ca Châu Doc is Fish Noodle Soup , a speciality of Châu Doc ( a town in the Mekong Delta next to the Cambodian border ) . Ca Loc is snakehead fish . The sauce that you dip the fish in is not ginger sauce . It's actually made of tamarind ( Nuoc Me = Tamarind Water) . In the countryside areas and working-class districts the locals sometimes dry up the remnants of rice and corn after each meal and keep them to feed the pigs or chickens instead of throwing them away because they don't want to waste food . You misunderstood the bird vendor . She said 8000 VND ( 0.33 USD ) each not 85 000 (3.54 USD) . In many pagodas and temples in Vietnam and China , the worshippers buy those incense coils and hang them with their names and family members' ones and let them burn slowly wishing to receive the blessing and protection of Buddha and the Bodhisattvas (Buddhist deities such as the Goddess of Mercy) . It's like lighting a candle in the church for the Christians . We highly appreciate your respect for the local culture and religion unlike another British youtuber (Brad and Izzy) who went filming inside the famous Bai Dinh pagoda in Ninh Binh last month without taking off his cap and shoes . Shame on him ! Hope he won't do it again in Thailand where he is now . Sua Dâu Nanh ( the drink you didn't know what it is ) is actually Soy Milk . You should ask the Banh Mi vendor to cut it equally in half for you .
Hey my friend what would I do without you thanks so much for your comments. Don't worry we respect and learn about cultures in the country's we visit, it's sad but most tourists are extremely ignorant especially the way they dress in Asian countries. Have a great Sunday.
You are very welcome . With respectful and well educated tourists like you two , we are always happy to have you in our country . Have a nice stay in Vietnam @@EllisWR

Thanks John
Hey John all these videos are filmed in Tân Phú, Saigon 🇻🇳
She said no more noodles. Only rice
Yeah silly me was too excited to listen properly
You know most of Vietnamese people will be very happy and appreciated when the others give them a lottery ticket which indicate a good luck. thank you very much for telling Saigon instead of hcm city like many foreigners.
Thanks so much for watching. We love it here 🇻🇳
The name of the city is HCMC, though. If he knew the history of Vietnam and what bitter overseas Viets are attempting to do by INSISTING that it be called Saigon, then he should call it HCMC. I do it out of spite to southerners even though I grew up calling it Saigon...especially after learning a bit more about the war.
@@doodahgurlie Makes my YT titles shorter and perform better no hard feelings to anyone 🙏
@@EllisWR It's fine, but know why the overseas southern Viets will praise you for it or insist you call it by that name. They have an agenda that is extremely skewed and should focus on moving forward, not back. If they want to go back, then truly study what happened before, during, and after the war, then spit facts, not emotions.
@@doodahgurlie I understand the situation just focus on making nice videos though! :)
Pour fish sauce on everything.
Yep
31:50 8.000 vnd/bird :)) not 85k bro :)) they r not parrots :))
Ahah I was excited on my first day back and didn't hear properly!
Bún thịt nướng just in Morning and Night!....Not! buổi trưa..
Yeah sorry we were too late! Now we are used to Vietnam time and getting out early with everyone!
Banh Mi Tho Nhi Ky is Turkish Doner Kebab . Bun Ca Châu Doc is Fish Noodle Soup , a speciality of Châu Doc ( a town in the Mekong Delta next to the Cambodian border ) . Ca Loc is snakehead fish . The sauce that you dip the fish in is not ginger sauce . It's actually made of tamarind ( Nuoc Me = Tamarind Water) . In the countryside areas and working-class districts the locals sometimes dry up the remnants of rice and corn after each meal and keep them to feed the pigs or chickens instead of throwing them away because they don't want to waste food . You misunderstood the bird vendor . She said 8000 VND ( 0.33 USD ) each not 85 000 (3.54 USD) . In many pagodas and temples in Vietnam and China , the worshippers buy those incense coils and hang them with their names and family members' ones and let them burn slowly wishing to receive the blessing and protection of Buddha and the Bodhisattvas (Buddhist deities such as the Goddess of Mercy) . It's like lighting a candle in the church for the Christians . We highly appreciate your respect for the local culture and religion unlike another British youtuber (Brad and Izzy) who went filming inside the famous Bai Dinh pagoda in Ninh Binh last month without taking off his cap and shoes . Shame on him ! Hope he won't do it again in Thailand where he is now . Sua Dâu Nanh ( the drink you didn't know what it is ) is actually Soy Milk . You should ask the Banh Mi vendor to cut it equally in half for you .
Hey my friend what would I do without you thanks so much for your comments. Don't worry we respect and learn about cultures in the country's we visit, it's sad but most tourists are extremely ignorant especially the way they dress in Asian countries.
Have a great Sunday.
You are very welcome . With respectful and well educated tourists like you two , we are always happy to have you in our country . Have a nice stay in Vietnam @@EllisWR
@@hungcuongnguyen293 Thanks so much for that kind comment. Hope you enjoy the rest of the videos. 🇻🇳
