Ever since I saw this video I wanted to go to the Hmong market. I finally made it there this weekend. I ate the intestines, the pig ears, the pork belly.....and loved it all. Too bad I ran out of space and never got to try the mango salads and all the other appealing foods, but, I will definitely go back and experience it all !!! Thanks for your awesome videos !

8:30 PAPAYA SALAD!!!!!!! This woman served me around 10 of these in 2017-18 🤤🤤🤤 She could not believe i wanted Thai spicy, then when I came back 30 minutes later for “extra Thai spicy” she was confused… such delicious mouth searing. Hmongtown Marketplace was my go to along with Bona Pho. I seriously considered moving after staying there for work a couple months on and off. Also the first shop, those are some banging sausages.

@krnpowr you gotta ask around, most hmong restaurants aren't putting hmong food down in the name or what they sell, restaurants don't advertise enough on who makes hmong food because restaurants just goes and makes a certain cuisine that would attract majority. I do believe it's time now for more advertisement of what restaurants specialize in hmong food, otherwise you either go to hmongtown or hmong village food court.

It was a culture shock but it was awesome. And the. In 2000 Somali people came. We have hands down theeeeeeeee best and diverse food in the twin cities because of the immigrants that came over....only thing I miss about Minnesota is my family, the food, the people, and......the Hmong markets.

If you have had the pleasure to come to Hmong Town or Hmong Village, it is the epiphany and the embodiment of America. It's a cultivation of all kinds of culture. Everything from food to clothes to movies and all various kinds of product. The only reason why we do implement alot of different food from all over the world into our menu of food is because we are literally a race of people who has immigrated ALL over the world and see no boundaries when it comes to culture and religion. Hmong people are some of the most welcoming batch of people in the world and it comes down to the fact that we know the feeling of being forced out countries and home lands because of our race and culture and so we relate to many in those ways.

Heck yeah, you gave me something to do this weekend. Thank you sunny!

In 1996 I was living in St. Paul and the Hmong New Year Celebration was going on inside of the Civic Center. I lived just down the street so I went in for a visit. Glad I did! I was one of very few farang there but didn't feel unwelcomed. Entry was free and I wasn't charged an arm and a leg to try new food. That one event has had a huge impact on my life. Another point about the Hmong in The Cities. When they came here they had no choice but to live in the "poor part of town" ie Frogtown. Within 10 years crime was down, test scores were higher and the city raised property tax. A few years later, Lutheran Social Services doubled down, and lost on the Somalian.

I don't live in Minnesota, but we have a fairly large Hmong population here, and I'm very glad we do. They have really introduced some amazing foods to our city, as have all the other southeast Asians here, and the folks from various parts of Africa. We are no longer just boring meat and potatoes with the occasional taco shop thrown in for good measure. We also have a large Middle Eastern population too, so the opportunities to have some really great food in mom & pop style restaurants has burgeoned. Sonny has made me hungry. Can't wait for the restaurants to open so I can get some stuffed wings and other goodies!

shout out to the editor, that cut to the race juxtaposed with the pleasure sounds of Sonny eating humongous stuffed chicken wings, is absolutely gorgeous!

Honestly, Hmong people could rename their dishes from the inspirational version since it sometimes taste almost nothing alike, but we wanted to honor the original dish. Like for example the Homemade Hmong pho. I show it once to my Korean friends from church a d they went everywhere looking for it but only find the Vietnamese version. They came back and asked me and I told them this version is normally not sell because only the Hmong people know how to eat it. You'll almost have to know a Hmong person to eat it. They ask why didn't we change the name? I told them because we use the noodles call PHO lol now they make it here and there at home

That beef tripe soup is a delicacy in the Philippines, the level of bitterness from the bile is of your preference.

( I prefer not too bitter though)
