my best bro looking handsome thank you for your huge respect against cpec friendship countries lot of love from your best bro viki 💙

The plastic tasting food is called Bánh Tráng Trộn, which is pretty much a rice paper salad! The rice paper used in this dish is also commonly used in Vietnamese spring rolls; however, it has the consistency of plastic because it is not soaked in water to soften it for the dish that you tried! It is supposed to be slightly crispy, chewy, and packed with flavor from soaking up a bit of the sauce that it is mixed with! :)

Hello, Ken. I am glad that you have enjoyed your tour trip in Saigon, Vietnam. You could have hired the tour guide to tell you Vietnamese history, and to introduce to various popular Vietnamese foods and cuisines. The yellow fried crepe, Banh' Xeo-/Sizzling Crepe. You should have eaten the other herbal green vegetables (basil, mint, cilantro, coriander, perilla purple leaves, etc.) along with the crepe and the lettuce, which are savory and tastier, due to the infusion of flavor and texture, The rice paper can be used to wrap the vegetables, herbs and protein of a dish. It is also shredded in strips like noodles (NOT PLASTIC) and mixed with dried shrimps, dried shredded squids, green onion, fried shallots, shredded/julian-cut young mangoes and papayas, boiled/cooked quail or c duck eggs, butter/oil, cow head cream cheese, mayonnaise and hot sauce. The crackers/cookies you bought were pig's ear (shape), which are popular snack to school children. One more respectable advice is STOP compare the Vietnamese foods & cultures to other Asian and South-East Asian countries. Each country has its own cuisines, history, languages, manners/etiquettes, cultures, uniqueness, etc. It's disrespectful to compare them to one another. Also, sauces are not soups. The grilled bananas you tried were in the coconut milk sauce. Thanks for sharing your fun videos. I enjoyed them. Good luck with the Visa situation.

Another great video. Loved it too. Thanks Ken. 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️

What an interesting meal at Banh Xeo 46A. Good of that uncle/shop owner to show you how to eat it. That dip is vinegar, Ken. Yeah, that pancake is quite a big one....good that you could finish almost all of it. Amazing street food...fun experience, Ken 👍👍

Very nice view of the city , keep it up

Banh Xeo is one of my favorites! We make it in the USA. Can roll it in a rice paper and eat it like a spring roll also!

Hi Ken. To avoid wasting your One Month visa take a Giant Ibis bus across the border to Phnom Penh in Cambodia, stay for a few days, then come back to Vietnam. You can even take a boat from Phnom Penh to Vietnam (Mekong region, Chau Doc ?), then bus back to Saigon. The Mekong Delta region of Vietnam is very interesting. Of course, you will need to buy a Cambodia visa at the border first. Good luck ! 👍

Great video Ken. There is a pink church very similar in Danang! The banh xeo are delicious, yes a little oily, and the dip cuts the oil a bit. Perhaps practice leaving the camera in one spot, after you show the food, and use 2 hands to eat. We can see your reaction to the flavours and you can explain it too. It seems so awkward to just eat with one hand. Vietnamese food is usually fresh and delicious! You can leave and re enter straight away and get another 15 days. Or visit another country and then reapply for the 30 days evisa but wait until you receive it this time.

Hire an editor, we need daily videos released Ken, your content and curiosity is addicting. Keep it up man

Your videos really show the fun side of travel in a very informal way. I enjoy them greatly. Do the wise thing, do yourself a favor and make a border run. Vietnam is so worth it, such a special place. It's a different country in the central (Danang, Hue) and northern (Hanoi) regions with different culture and very different foods. It would be a tragedy to miss them. Good luck, you are truly in one of the most amazing countries in the world. And your videos are making me want to go back.

I couldn't agree more.... Trying the local food, exploring the local scene is best experience to learn or understand more about a country.... It always nice of you to support the locals in anyway possible especially the small local businesses. I will make it a point to try out the Vietnamese Coffee during the next trip to Vietnam.... Love them... Probably my go-to for these Grab Bikes to move around the city the next time round....Take care out there anyway. Just follow your heart and do what makes you happy..... Cheers mate!!

Regarding that 2nd. street food, l, too, am curious to know what those "plastic" stuff are.... jelly fish??? That packet of biscuits is also available here in Malaysia...known as "ear/ear lobe" biscuits 😄. Yeah, that banana dessert looks yum yum too. Cheese coffee? Some thing new to me 😮😂 Oh gosh, it's not good news regarding your visa. Anyway, thank you very much for showing us your street food hunting in Saigon. As always, it's fun and entertaining to watch your video. Incredible content, bravo, Ken.

The 2nd place you went to where you thought it was plastic is cut up rice paper (it's called banh trang tron a Vietnamese rice paper salad). If you leave it long enough, it'll soak in the sauce. It's actually quite delicious once all the herbs and veggies are added in and mixed up. Try it again next time you see it.

I’d take a bus to Cambodia border to get visa stamp. I heard it’s only five hour bus ride. You can do it in early morning and come back in evening.

Hi KEN!! Exit at Mocbai Cambodia-Vietnam border (spent the time few hours at Cambodia side) then you can enter Vietnam same day.

The have also Egg coffee

Come on Ken mate why on earth would you apply for a visa that late hahah. Vietnam's one of the greatest places in SE Asia so unexplored

The coffee is actually cream cheese foam on top, the cashier interpreted it wrong to you by saying it cheese. I enjoy your journey in Vietnam! Waiting for next video

Love your videos. 🥰 Did you have a blood test? (I noticed the band aid.)

When eating banh xeo or any VNmese dish served with a platter of veggies, make sure you add the herbs and then dip into the fish sauce dip. The “plastic” is rice paper which is plasticky but turn soft and chewy when moistened. The grilled banana is served with a coconut cream sauce (sometimes with tapioca in it) and it’s a dessert.

:-) lovely .

I suggest you to do the visa run to Cambodia . It doesn't take very long to go to the Cambodian border by bus ( only about 2 hours from Saigon ) . There are special buses that take you there for maybe 15-20 USD or even less (round trip) .You don't have to stay very long in Cambodia , maybe just half an hour then come back right away in VN . Since you already have the Vietnamese visa , you don't have to wait long at the Vietnamese border on the way back . It would take you half a day maximum for the entire trip . During the bus ride you could watch the Vietnamese countryside as well . Otherwise it would be too bad if you have to leave VN so early without seeing much of the country . Hope everything will be solved easily for you Ken .

He called the fish sauce soup 😂😂😂😂😂. I so wanted him to drink it 😂😂😂😂

Cheese coffee a great combination with a cheese burger I imagine.

It is a very short trip to the Moc Bai border. I've done once before I had my workpermit. You might combine it with something like Cu Chi. There is no flexibility in the buracracy in Vietnam. Brave that you tried LOL.

The pink church in Saigon city is beautiful church

Hey man, just for those who might be curious, or like me got " amused and alittle bit hmm " .... min @18 on, the lady whom [ Ken ] shared the table eating the [ banana "yogurt" ] , my Vo Oi says, lady was complaining about work, longer hours and more stuff but money still the same lol as for your visa , i do have a nice suggestion : before the end of day 10, give it some buffer, travel to cambodia for some quick ones, and then back into Northern part of vietnam, down Hanoi, and perhaps to the beaches of Huế Thua Thien Hue Vietnam via Train to finish off your travel blog and i do think you ought to look at a travel router, and google speech translator on the fly, and like other comments, do shorts whilst on the move, using the travel router, next for easier editing or others. or even using the m1 ipad pro to save you travel [ mass & mess ] youre lucky thus far, theres a mix bag of educated locals who understood english, Northern side, you might not be that lucky, to know what to do or payment wise. as for content, theres local youtubers you might wana seek out ? but the Egg coffee is a must once you're in the capitol of Hanoi other sites, like the Hanoi Train Street would do you just , after flying to cambodia for a renewed 1month. p.S do not bring too much items when cross boarder travelling,

The white cream on top is the cheese in that coffee, it's not a chunk of cheese that you're expecting 🥹

Pacari drinks are the best. I always get that.

Ken, I get hungry every time you eat.

See you in Bangsar Kuala Lumpur Malaysia if you have a time to visit my country Malaysia again?

Find a coconut vendor on the streets and get one baby coconut. The smallets ones are the best. Let them open it for you and drink it. I don't think there is a better drink :-) Lived in Vietnam for over 10 years and the food is very underrated compared to Thai.

Stay 2 weeks in Vietnam, then go to Cambodia to see Ankor Wat, then go back into Vietnam for 30 days? I think cheese coffee has European origins, someplace in Scandinavia? Not really sure...

Pink church Vietnam ✅ Pink mosque Malaysia ✅

They have cheap bus trips to the Cambodian border for US$10. Fast and not so expensive. Worth doing it to get your 30 days validated I think.

No straw next time you try that, its foam on top adds a really nice touch, the spoon should have given it away.

Hi Ken. Here’s a video I thought you would like:

The cream you ate with banana is coconut milk.

While you are there, try the coconut, peanut, egg, and salted coffees. All are different but great in their own way. Let us know which you like best. :)

Four hours for a round trip from Saigon ( about 2 hours each way )

In order to stay longer in a country, just go to the neighbouring country for a day and come back and voila another 30 days

When they say 15, or 20, that's short for 15,000 and 20,000.

Think Cambodian border is simple, they might tell you to stay there for a few hours till you come back, and I think the entry to Cambodia is about $30. If the E-Visa counts from the day you are stamped, and not from when you received it, then you could stay in Vietnam a month and a half.

The creamy stuff on the banana is coconut cream

135k VND , very expensive

when i go there i will try the Plastic street food , hear its a Big favorite in China 🧑‍🔬

We tried the bang xeo place in 2018, We're disappointed since we were charged for the wet wipes that costs almost half of our entire order.

Given the corruption at the Cambodian border crossings, why not make a run to the Laos border. They are much friendlier and I think visa is 30 USD

If he is in Saigon it will be a 2-day trip to Laos (unless flying). Cambodia is a few hours, but yes, you may have to slip in some money (200.000 dong should be fine) if they don’t know you yet.

You should go to the border which is your favourite right?

I think all foreign vloggers unfamiliar with Vietnamese food need to go on food tours so the local guides can show you all the food and how to eat it properly. You didn't add the herbs to your banh xeo, which is a big part of the flavor/aroma (avoid the fish mint, the one with heart-shaped leaves)....oft times Vietnamese food contains fresh veggies/herbs and dips/sauces that needs to be eaten properly in order to experience the full flavor.

Your visa dilemma isn't as complicated as you think. In the 15 days in Vietnam, do you plan to just stick to Saigon? If not as vlogger, do a few episode on a popular city beside the border and take the opportunity to rest amp your passport... How simple is that? :)

Ken , we know you like borders , so make a video going to Cambodian border and 1 month paid for already for Vietnam... Cheers !

I think you should changed plan and go to another country and comeback to Vietnam later for a second series

U got rob

I'd like to take your side, but the 3 working days starts after the person assessing your application receives it not from when you sent it. A wise person would have sent it at least a week earlier then if there was a problem you would've had time to make changes. Next time Ken don't be so spontaneous, make some plans that give you time if something goes wrong.

That's how the Vietnamese eat Banh Xeo. They never use chopsticks for Banh Xeo. Chopsticks are used for Pho. You seriously need help with instructions how to eat Banh Xeo🤣
