Hello Tia & Cheveyo, @5:22 I just wanted to inform you that anytime you see people directing you to a parking area like this, do not listen to them. Drive further in and I guarantee you there will be closer parking for the same rate. Even if there aren't any, it doesn't hurt to check! Wish you 2 safe travels.
I understand that not every day in your adventure is rosy and perfect. Your attitude, opened mindedness, and zest for life are highly contagious. You are living someone else's dream. I left the country as a teenager, and have been wanting to explore different segments of VN before my retirement. You 2 are awesome!
Hope your dad feel better. The mystery bean wraps are actually blood sausages, which are pig intestines, that have been hollowed out, cleaned, and stuffed with mung bean, ground pork, and many other ingredients. Ninh Binh is also famous with their mountain goat dishes.
Came here to say yeah that's blood sausage. 😅 I personally LOVE the stuff! Sooo many countries and regions around the globe have their own iterations, as well. 👌
Okay - I've binge watched nearly all of your uploads, and I think I've got it. Yes, there are more slick, professionally produced travel videos with fancy transitions, gorgeous B-roll, epic drone shots - the whole 9. ***but*** what those UA-camrs lack is the down to Earth, personable, likeable qualities that you guys have. There's an intimate genuineness to your videos, and we the viewer feel like we actually know you. Those other travel channels have forgotten that aspect- perhaps in their quest to produce TV quality uploads. You guys keep it real, Yo. Thank you again for taking us along the journey & keep up the great work.
Great videos so far. Glad you’re trying communal food eating. That plate of food reminds me of other dishes where they will serve different types of lettuce and herbs. For example, deep fried rolls will come with lettuce and herbs- just grab a piece of lettuce add herbs and the spring roll and roll it into a hand roll then dip in the sauce. Banh Xeo the turmeric crispy pancake can be eaten that way too. A word on herbs, there are some interesting ones in Vietnam- basil, coriander and it’s saw tooth version. There is a slightly purple one that is parilla which is a species of Japanese shiso leaf and one that may pop up in the bunch that tastes like fish. Continued good journeys!
I loved Ninh binh .. place we stayed , old mate that manned the desk would go for a 3 hour lunch every day and just leave everyone's room keys out on his desk ..😂
Don’t forget to try egg coffee in Hanoi. Egg coffee was the original place created this style of coffee. You can have egg coffee mixed with rhum, or other liquor. Have egg coffee at its original place , cafe “ Giang “. This cafe was opened in 1947. As the locals or check Google map for the location.
@@tompham637 yeah I’ve been to Vietnam 3 times in the past ten years but I never had the egg coffee or went to the train street. But it’s one reason why I like watching videos like this. I discover new things and places to try
Hello guys, I have been waiting for your videos patiently and I enjoy watching them. North Vietnam has lots of beautiful places. Please do not forget to visit Ha Long Bay.
I really like how you create your videos, great storytelling. You should do a behind-the-scenes video, for example all steps planning out the shots that just to make coffee. Almost forgot and the time lapses.
that vietnamese balm leaves smell so good I have them grown in my yard just to smell them all day lol. Bún Đậu Mắm Tôm was supposed to eat with shrimp paste but I don't think you guys would handle it well the first time haha.
Having stomach issue while travel is no fun but love the positive vibe! Glad that you guys sorted out the visa issue and can take your sweet time exploring and enjoying what Viet Nam has to offer. The range of culture, culinary, and scenery diversity is second to none imo. Maybe next time try Bun Dau Mam Tom with the Shrimp Paste sauce, the smell is stronger than Durian, but if you can get pass that, the taste is so addictively good.
So much beauty in Vietnam. You keep getting better and better with you video and editing, looking pretty pro. I am assuming you are going to go to Tam Cuc. Little village outside of Ninh Binh to take the boat tour. Hope your dad is recouping ok. Getting so excited about my extended trip late fall.
Hope your dad feels better soon. Wishing him a fast recovery and to see him in the next content. Another stellar vlog, guys! All the best from Canada 🇨🇦
@@OnePackWanderers Most welcome. I really enjoy seeing your dad in the previous contents. Doesn't say much but his smiles, says it all. I'll be in Saigon next Tuesday, coming in from Vancouver, BC. I'd takeb notes of the places y'all been too and I can't wait to try those eateries. Take good care
You too are perfect for each other. Always, nice pleasant smile. It was good to see you both get to explore Northern VN. Hope your dad feel better soon so he can enjoy the beautiful VN outdoor scenaries. Please be safe and enjoy your trip. Your new subscriber - Jim
Ok- the opening coffee making visuals were fantastic. The camera inside the shelf to closing the shelf edit was on point. And overhead shot really tied it up nicely. Only one other person said anything! And oh yes, the rest was great as well!
Thanks for sharing. 1) u r absolutely right about travel n bacteria. 2) top gun 2 movie, 20 years, look at those casts before n now, y’all immortal. 20 yrs from now u will appreciate all these. 3).y’all travel at this early ages is very impressive. I wish I did it when I’m ur ages but it’s too late. 👍 bc age n physical mobility may be incompatible.
Very peaceful and beautiful place...Sorry to see you had encountered some trouble with the traffic police before...I did a few times there in SG too...Once I was driving on the wrong lane they flagged me down but I ignored and kept driving but at least I looked back and gave them a..smile....
you know what ? i am so proud of both of you and i do hope daddy gets better , do be mindful of mosquitoes and water sources , it's still rural with livestocks everywhere , before it slipped my mind , do check out Ha long Bay when opportunities pops up
Hello from Ninh Binh.There are some specialties that you should try in Ninh Binh such as: Goi Nhech (raw fish with a lot of spices and herbs ), Mien Luon ( eel noodle soup ), Kem Xoi (ice cream with sticky rice), Dê nướng (grilled goat meat) , Dê xào lăn (stir fried goat meat) , Dê dựa mận , Dê sốt vang (don’t know how to translate it into English)
You're blessed to travel many places in VN, which many people not even get out of theirs province all their lives. BTW, you just ate 99% of the northern foods on that plate, because it should goes with Shrimp Paste mixed with lime/lemon and hot pepper 🌶. Anyway, at 09:38, you see the river that flow/ lead to Tam Cốc (3 caves) where the first capital of Vietnam before they moved to Thang Long, now called Hà Nội. You're right about Ninh Binh is called a "Ha Long bay on land",but a smaller scale. Good luck to your dad, I missed the old but brave man😜👍
I don't think it's perilla. The perilla used in Vietnam has a purple underside to it, unlike the ones used in Japan. Someone said it's some kind of balm.
@@vinhmai8754 I wonder if it's what the US calls lemon balm then...Edit: never mind, I just asked a Viet friend in Cali and she said it's Vietnamese balm, which is not the same as what Americans know as lemon balm.
@@doodahgurlie yeah, it's very different. This balm gives an absolutely aromatic sweet smell but surprisingly tasteless. Usually chopped in with garlic in fried spring rolls sauce, sometimes served in Northen noodles. There should have been perilla in the dish also but apparently there wasn't. Perilla is quite hard to chew raw so i think the shop just leave it out.
@@winstonsgmx Yeah, I was surprised there wasn't any purple perilla in the dish, either. Thanks for the info on the Vietnamese balm. I'm sure I've eaten it, but my mom usually stuck with mint, basil, cilantro, etc. When were were younger, she'd use rice paddy herb and a bit of purple perilla, but we didn't eat much of it as we lived longer in the US. I guess she was limited by the herbs living in the Midwest. :)
Just for you know, they mix roast corn and roast soybean to decrease the price and make it cheaper (and sometime Areca nut to make it bitter, and coffee flavor liquid) and it's actually illegal here and it's not good for your health, this also decrease the quality of the coffee, and you wont have the cafein kick feeling like the normal coffee, but somepeople find that will make them dizzie because roast areca nut (betel nut). Anyway, love you guys adventure so far, great video, be safe and looking for your next video. Sorry for my bad English
So many things to say! 1 - how did you do that shot at the start, from the ceiling?! That was really cool!! 2 - we're sorry your stomachs caught up with you! Literally in the last video, we wondered how you were doing with ice in your drinks (we avoided ice and raw veggies in Indo). Maybe it was the ice? 3 - I'm guessing you're over the tummy bug, but mint helps with nausea and indigestion - in case it happens again. 4 - we *have* to visit Ha Long Land!! I hop Chev's dad is better!
Have a safe trips! You are lucky and young that you can ride motorbikes in Viet-Nam's roads! It was amazing that you can climb to top of a pagoda to have nice paranomic view in Ninh Binh Province. Longtime ago my family & I visited Phong Nha cave, in 2004 in a package tour which we booked from Saigon. I hope you have enjoyed Vietnamese food in 3 regions of Viet-Nam: South, Central (like in Hue, Da Nang, Nha Trang, Dalat...) & North, and Vietnamese cafe. When I visit Viet-Nam, I notice that local people like to go to "cafe" shop. We often to say "cafe" as Viet-Nam was a French colony in the past until 1945.
Hope you all feel better soon ❤️ i stayed in Tam coc instead of ninh binh. I loved it!! It has lake with small boats and beautiful limestone cliffs as background. If possible check it out. As Hoi An and Tam coc were my favourite destinations in Vietnam. Hopefully pandemic hasn't ruined it.
Ninh bình is the name of the province and the city Ninh bình has some wetland area like Tam cốc, Tràng An, Vân Long all connect to Đáy river Beyond the limestone range you can find the biggest pagoda in S.E Asia : Bái đính More than 1000 years ago, Ninh bình was the capital of Vietnam with the name of Hoa lư. Ninh bình has the shortest coastline with the length is about 20km and the seaside area is one center of christianism in Vietnam with the main cathdral was built by limestone Cúc phương Is the first National Park which is one of the most biological diversity in all Asian forests
OMG! You’re both so brave; have gone to places in Northern VN which I still don’t have the gus to go. You even tried the tofu cold dish which I hadn’t been able to find it anywhere nearby my house in Northern Cal.👍. I envy you both…lol
Ninh Binh is the place where Hollywood shot the movie “ King Kong : Skull Island” with Samuel Jackson in 2017. Ninh Binh is beautiful. The nature is still intact. Thank you for sharing this beautiful video. Have fun and enjoy your adventures. Take care and stay safe.
.....I am really enjoying your videos. The way you present your videos is really good. It's not over the top like some presenters can be....Keep up the good work. I wonder if your next travel destination will be the Philippines? I'm sure you'll enjoy there. Hope your dad is on the road to recovery now!
Sorry you guys encountered stomach issues - hopefully that's the last of it this trip. I've always loved the beautiful views from Ninh Binh as I think it's so magical there. Too bad you don't have a drone as the aerial view is quite spectacular. Check out Flora and Note's latest video where they filmed spectacular views from the top.
A lot of people love bun dau mam tom (yours was eaten with flavored fish sauce, which is good as you probably cannot handle the shrimp paste like the pros...many Viets won't do it, either). Max McFarlin and Sonny from the Best Ever Food Review Show love that dish...but Max is a shrimp paste freak. LOL! The black sausage is blood sausage...growing up, the ones my family ate has lots of herbs and no beans in it. It's the one adventure food that I actually love to this day, especially in chao (congee).
No, bun dau isn't wrapped. You just stack it like they did with the noodle, protein, and herbs, then dipped. Typically the braver will eat it with mam tom (shrimp paste that you mix with kunquat until it bubbles) then you dip it.
@@doodahgurlie I had a meal with similar items and a whole bunch of herbs that we wrapped in spring roll wrappers after dipping in hot water. Best meal ever!
@@darrylk808 A lot of Viet meals are wrapped in herbs/veggies/noodles and dipped, though. Growing up, I ate banh xeo and always had problems with the filling falling out when my lettuce/green broke...so I started wrapping it all up in rice paper to keep everything intact. I didn't think to do this until I ate it at a family friend's home and then I was like, "Doh!" We eat fried spring rolls wrapped in lettuce/herbs/noodles and dipped, too....so then I started wrapping it all up in rice paper as well since I'm apparently not a refined Viet eater and had the same problem as with my banh xeo. LOL!
Nice restaurant. They knew you guys are foreigners so they gave you vinegar fish sauce instead of fermented fish sauce (the one that you love it you can't eat these kind of foods without it, but if you hate if you really f*king hate it - But I knew some people can't eat fermented fish sauce at the beginning but they keep trying and one day they really love it now :D)
Ya can eat blood sausage? Its either you like it or hate it kind of food. A lot of foreigner cannot eat the blood sausage. I guess the fish sauce cancel the taste of it

Make sure you do the Trang an Ninh Binh river tour. Really amazing to go under the limestone formations. Really enjoy your adventures.

They definitely should try goat before they leave Ninh Binh since it's known for goat meat.
They probably already left Ninh Binh…

The black one is blood sausage :) but it's cooked, shouldn't be problem.

I think the tasty leaves with the serrated edge is Parilla leaf.

Awesome view
Beautiful! I wish I could eat that food too. Lol
Beautiful country🌴🌴🌺🌺
Stay safe and always have medicine for upset stomach or a basic first aid kit…😷
So beautiful x
I have seen people riding boats going all the way somewhere.
You guys should visit Ha Giang, It is the most beautifull place in Viet Nam. Dont miss it, u wont regret.
We really want to. It looks absolutely unreal!

What's upppppp...... Hope things go well for you guys. Been 2 days no new video. Please update.
All is well 😊 We are editing now, the latest video should be out by midnight Vietnam time
Hạ Long means in Vietnamese the dragon descending.
If stomach is unwell, best to stick to hot soupy foods such as pho rather than fried greasy foods.

here for "Tia for scale"
❤❤❤
you need to wrap with rice paper.
I think with this dish we are not supposed to wrap it
This dish can be eaten by itself, whatever on the plate.
Some places does rice paper, some don’t.
It’s not a must for this dish.
I like your video
it could've been Ha Land hahah.
😂
I thought you're supposed to wrap that food in something? They didn't give you wrappers, like spring roll wraps or lettuce wraps?
No, bun dau isn't wrapped. You just stack it like they did with the noodle, protein, and herbs, then dipped. Typically the braver will eat it with mam tom (shrimp paste that you mix with kunquat until it bubbles) then you dip it.
@@doodahgurlie I had a meal with similar items and a whole bunch of herbs that we wrapped in spring roll wrappers after dipping in hot water. Best meal ever!
@@darrylk808 A lot of Viet meals are wrapped in herbs/veggies/noodles and dipped, though. Growing up, I ate banh xeo and always had problems with the filling falling out when my lettuce/green broke...so I started wrapping it all up in rice paper to keep everything intact. I didn't think to do this until I ate it at a family friend's home and then I was like, "Doh!" We eat fried spring rolls wrapped in lettuce/herbs/noodles and dipped, too....so then I started wrapping it all up in rice paper as well since I'm apparently not a refined Viet eater and had the same problem as with my banh xeo. LOL!

All depend on which bun dau mam tom place you go to.
Nice restaurant. They knew you guys are foreigners so they gave you vinegar fish sauce instead of fermented fish sauce (the one that you love it you can't eat these kind of foods without it, but if you hate if you really f*king hate it - But I knew some people can't eat fermented fish sauce at the beginning but they keep trying and one day they really love it now :D)
Had food poisoning after eating Banh Cha when I was there in Hanoi the week before.Felt better after lots of rest
Ah dang, sorry to hear that. We’ve had food poisoning four times in the last year 😅 It is just a fact of traveling and it comes up from time to time.
Ya can eat blood sausage? Its either you like it or hate it kind of food. A lot of foreigner cannot eat the blood sausage. I guess the fish sauce cancel the taste of it
It was very mild compared to other blood sausages we have had, even without the fish sauce 🙂
I'm glad that you guys didn't get knocked out by the "mam tom" dipping sauce smell =)
The owners probably made the right call and didn't give that to them. Even Viets have issues eating mam tom like that. 😂
