I almost choked when Nate said the mung bean ball was a ball of fat 😂. The dish is Xôi Xéo, it’s sticky rice with mung beans and deep fried shallots. Also, the white balls in the rice is typically corn.

Xoi Xeo is sticky rice with mung bean and fried shallots, drizzle with some fragant oil that they fried the shallots in. So don't worry, that yellow thing is just the cooked mung bean :P

@@gbutt3554 Hahaha, thanks so much! I appreciate the comment! When I found Kara & Nate's channel, I realized how much I enjoyed them as people and their content, so I went back and watched every video from the very beginning. I made a point to leave a comment on each and every one (sometimes more when I had several things to say) and let them know that what they were doing mattered to me. As far as their new videos, I'm really enjoying them! I like seeing them explore our home country. I did find myself worrying more about Nate during the CT trip, but he's such a warrior and he made it through just fine. :-)

Afro Nate is adorable. Love yalls videos! Watching from the start and working my way thru:)

I'm watching this in the times of Covid-19, and the matching mask and jacket at 2:23 are just so amazing, and that needs to happen in America.

Haha it's actually not sticky rice topped with fat :D The yellow shredded topping is mashed mung-bean(s) :D I think by "fat" here they mean the oil used for the deep-fried shallots topping :D "Xoi xeo" is usually only yellow sticky rice with the mashed mung-bean and deep-fried shallots topping. The one you guys had is called "Xoi ngo" (Sticky rice with corn), it's basically "Xoi xeo", but with corn - cooked together with the sticky rice :D Btw, "X" in Vietnamese is spelled like "S" in the English word "Six" :D

When we get back home you guys should come visit my wife and I in Shenyang, China. I can take you to many interesting spots and a 200 year old dumpling restaurant.

Hahaa ok, the bally things is Hominy we eat it a lot in the Andes Mountain and yes it is Corn but processed in a certain way that it comes out looking like that. I think in the South they call it Grits when they smash it all up. Now that seems yucky to me hahaa.

While you are in Vietnam, you should try Banh Xeo and Banh Cuon they are soo yummy! MUST TRY! Kara you're so brave to cross the road.

Those "round things" are a form of corn called hominy: Dried corn kernels soaked in an alkaline solution to make the protein in the corn more digestible. The kernels swell up and soften, and develop a different kind of pleasing flavor.

I am so glad I found your vlog you travel to places I hopr to go in the future and this vlog fills me with confidence

I don't know if you are still in Viet Nam. If you are going to Da Nang, try "bún mắm nêm" as the central part of Viet Nam is famous for a wide variety of "mắm" (fermented fish/shrimp). You can also try "bánh bèo", "tré", "bánh căn" over there. If you are going to Ho Chi Minh city in the South, well, I don't even know what to recommend as there are so many. Maybe some exotic ones like sea snails/cones?

Just curiosity as to who does the song at around 3:30, which sounds like The Chipmunks, since it gets used every so often.

2:22 OMG Vientnamese knew Corona was coming!

The "rule" for crossing streets in VN (where there are no traffic lights) is to just start walk at a STEADY PACE. Cars and motorbikes may honk but that is only a warning that they are going to move around you so you don't speed up into them.

Ok

The "big ball of fat" is mung bean.. surely you'd know from the taste/texture if you were eating huge chunks of pure fat? :,D

The Xoi Xeo looked good. However no wonder you thought it was fat. Looked suspicious. The haircut was a bit nah but not that bad. :)

You look like Peter Brady with the curly hair

Grow the fro bro!!!

lol you have to be careful with where to go to get a haircut in Vietnam honestly. I got mine cut at one of the store in the 36 old street and it was awful.
