UNFORGETTABLE FIRST DAY IN SAIGON, VIETNAM 🇻🇳 (Ho Chi Minh City is CRAZY!)
First time in Ho Chi Minh City aka. Saigon in Vietnam.
We travelled from Singapore, via Kuala Lumpur to Ho Chi Minh City.
We were surprised by the number of motorbikes! It was a challenge to cross the street!
And we met some lovely Vietnamese locals on our way to hunt for dinner.
This is how Vietnamese people treats foreigners. We love the people!
Plus Vietnamese food is delicious! Even though mom struggled with her chopsticks.
Check out our first impressions of Saigon, Vietnam.

We love vietnam, so nice people, food is good and prices are so affordable. Can't wait to come back next year
Vietnam was a fascinating country. Learned alot there....exciting!
one thing i loved about Vietnam are having hair cut, ear wax, facial treatment and shoulder massage. having Vietnam Coffee ☕ also healing time for me. stay safe Steve and Ivana
6.33 loved the way you accepted the drinks offered, that was nice of you and admiration to the vietnamese people
Lol the mom doesnt look like an adventurous person at all, she looks so out of her comfort zone with the food and the vibe here.
welcome to Vietnam ❤ from a Vietnamese student studying abroad in Canada ❤❤

@@JetLagWarriors,Dear friend, I have to explain this and hope you will tell your mother about the "fake dog" in the first restaurant and your mother decided to leave,. That fake dog dish is not made from dog meat It's from pork ribs or most often from chicken - just the same cooking method and dipping sauce that makes the chicken taste just like dog meat, that's all. I know your mother left because she is an animal lover
You guys are too funny, I think your mom should travel with an open mind. Hope you guys have a great journey in Ho Chi Minh city
Love Steve’s red t shirt with the caption, “Jingle Bells, Durian Smells, Cendol All The Way”! Enjoy your trip in Vietnam 🇻🇳 Xoxo
Wellcome to Vietnam . Vietnam ese love you so much
Welcome you and your mother to our country. Enjoy and feel our country's culture. Many people often ask why we always proactively invite, proactively pay, and proactively help strangers the first time we meet. Simply because we consider human feelings and friendship above material wealth
Oh gosh, poor mom, she's having a hard time with the chopsticks. Anyway, "Practice Makes Perfect" Dad is cool as always 👍👏 Haha...with that many scooters/motorbikes on the road, l just didn't know how to cross the road when l visited Hanoi 😂😅 The best thing there wasn't any accident(s) Yeah, Vietnam food seems to be very healthy, lots of herbs and veggies.

Mom was eating hamburger and hot dog alllllllll her life, so might need a little work on those chopsticks.
Love vietnamese food! Their coffee is the best! Never been there but hope I will one day🤞
I laughed my ass out at this video, that friendly guy in the street with his alcohol was the main culprit! Also, I noticed even a smile on Steve dad's face, so it must be that Vietnam is a great country to visit :))
Welcome to Vietnam, Enjoy time being here. Help showing the world about friendly Vietnamese people, beatiful natural. Wish health to all family members for the up coming trip.
hope you and your family enjoy the trip , love from Vietnam ❤❤
Different launguge, different culture and different foods your mom must or try to be social with where ever you go..she just scare that all. Good luck and enjoy time in VN. CA.USA
Oh my, I laughed at this video out loud while watching. So much fun!! What an experience for dad and I. Keep safe, healthy and happy.

Hey Steve Ivana ♡ family 👪 so happy seeing you all at Saigon already 😊 let's explore ahead 🌲have nice day 🌷Vietnam 🇻🇳
I love how you tease your parents so much and they take it like parents do.
"No, no, no, no, no, no!" "This wet napkin is amazing! It'll be wet for a month!" Mom won the show again! Also, them mad skillz on dad with the chopsticks! Hope you payed that beer, Steve, it's long overdue!
Always love your vids , such a lovely couple & now with your lovely families 💚
welcome to my Ho Chi Minh city, Viet Nam
❤chào mừng các bạn đến thăm Việt Nam !
It´s so funny Diane reaction to traffic . Does your mom never lived in a big city , Steve ?? nice video as always . Big kisses 😘
Purple sauce is shrimp paste. It only goes with certain dishes
It is always interesting when you see new food you have not seen b4
Auntie is so funny 😅😅
Veri good video
Phở or bún chả would be a better choice for your mom. She's not used to eating Vietnamese food.😂😂
I'm Vietnamese. I feel sorry for the first restaurant. The dish name Giả Cầy is pork trotters cooked with galangal and ginger along with lemongrass. The name of it translated almost correct - none of dog meat in that. Because people used to cook dog meat like that - similar with korean.

Thanks for the great tour! Brought back fond memories of when I came back in 2014, after leaving Vietnam in 1975 due to the fall of Saigon (now Ho Chi Minh City). A few family members are now visiting Vietnam (while we are freezing in Canada lol). I went in December so it felt like it was spring over there. Keep up the great work! :)

I would have sworn you had an Irish accent before you revealed you were Canadian. I've never been offered a drink on the streets of Saigon. and have been there many times. The people are great though.

Welcome to Vietnam, enjoy the beautiful scenery, great cuisine and introduce to international friends how hospitable our country is. Traffic can be difficult for newcomers but keep calm, it will be fine for you.
Welcome to Vietnam ❤
Chào mừng bạn đến với VIỆT NAM chúc bạn có chiến du lịch vui vẻ
I see your mom has a little bit culture shock. Let her try everything step by step from light to strong, try something familiar with her first. I think the first day's experiences in VN quite strong to her, especially talking with the strangers and then they invite her and you drinking alcohol, or try fake dog meat. It is better to let her try some kinds of Vietnamese noodle soups and family Vietnamese cuisine, then visit several iconic in Saigon and have a bus tour around the city.
Purple sauce is shrimp paste, it’s a condiment to be added to you a certain type of soup
Maybe just a bit culture shock. Well it’s okay guy we have different tastes and lifestyles so it still makes sense. Just welcome to Vietnam! Besides the food culture… the people are genuinely nice
E trai nầy đến vn mừng quá vui vui ghê ,thấy e mừng mình vui lây
I ' m Việtnamese here..I live in Sài Gòn ( HCM city) welcome to all foreigners !
The type of rice noodle which come with fish sauce should be poured in and mixed with salad. Bun Rieu is a rice noddle with crab roe. Sometimes we add the snail to the soup and it’s called Bun = Rice noodle, Rieu= crab roe, Or= snail. It’s a typical dish from the North
Welcome to my lovely country ❤
The sauce is nuoc mam which translates to fish sauce mix with sugar, lime, and chilies....
Just between me and the gatepost keep an eye on your personal belongings this isn’t KL or Bangkok lots of bag and phone snatchers Never ever let your guard down and only walk around with what you can afford to lose . Other then that you will love Saigon and the people are real what you see is what you get
That purple sauce is shrimp paste.
You got the right idea by pouring the watered down fish sauce mix with sugar, garlic, lime, and chili(some put carrot sticks). That sauce is pretty much good for everything. As for the lady, bun rieu not seafood pho. Bun is a round rice noodle and pho is flat thin rice noodles depends on where you are. Northern is bigger flat rice noodles. It’s just a seafood round rice noodle soup with pork meatball mix with crabmeat (my personal fave viet noodle soup)
You must try the egg coffee, 'banh xeo' (for your mom, because you eat with fingers not chop sticks)

As a Viet, your mom seems hesitant. But, she's probably smart. 😂
Mom’s sooo cute!
Dad is very cool as always...
That purple sauce was salted shrimp 👍👍👍👍white man with the chop stick? ⁉️
Một người mẹ đáng kính. Tôi yêu bà. Hạnh phúc sao khi có mẹ. Chúc gia đình vui vẽ, thoải mái khi ở VN chúng tôi. Xin cảm ơn.
kkk She has never used chopsticks. Watching him laugh makes me want to burst out laughing at Theo
There are a lot of good dishes you should try, such as: Bánh cuốn nhân tôm - shrimp spring roll (Diêm Điền town, Thai Binh province); chả đa nem, beef phở, chicken phở, phở cuốn (Hanoi); chả rươi (Hải Dương province); Bánh mì; many types of cakes (Hue city - the old capital); Trúc Bạch beer (Hanoi); Egg coffee (Giảng cafe', 39 Nguyễn Hữu Huân strees, Hanoi), Fresh sea foods (Bình Định province, Phú Yên provice, Phú Quốc Island) etc... There are many good sightseeing beaches, mountaints (Halong Bay, Phu Quoc, Nha Trang, Đà Lạt, Sapa). You want to know which are the best restaurances for each dish, you should spend 8 to 10 months to live in Vietnam as Vietnameses and experiment.
It was beautiful days in Saigon city
Hi!,I suggest why you guys buy a pair of folk and spoon tact along whenever you all dine.no offence at all .for your own convenience sake.i did that also , after using I cleaned it, wrapped it with tissues and bring it to hotel and wash. Viola!
There is/was a great Vietnamese restaurant in 'Sauga near your parents home, Lé Vu Authentic Vietnamese, 1580 Dundas St E, Mississauga, ON L4X 1L4, Canada. Google says closed permanently though but last photo was Feb 2022. Very sad if truly closed. My favorite dish was Bun Bo Hue(spicy pho). I also enjoyed the food at Pho 99 for the huge size of a bowl of noodles (bring a thermos).

oh will check when we are back
haha its not dog meat, it just a traditional Vietnamese name of food, cook with pork and gravy
Welcome to Việt Nam ! My country
Love your mom :)
10:25 Huh it literally said slow cooked pork on the menu right there?
You are eating vermicelli with grilled meat and spring rolls. You have to add more or less of that dipping sauce into the bowl depending on how light or dark you want it to be. then mix well and eat.
The name is misleading even in Vietnamese they don't use "cho" (dog) instead they use "cay" a name of a wild fox in the forest. This fake dish is for the ladies and those who don't like dog meat but like the taste of the special ingredients. It tastes really good like pork stew almost. Pouring the fish sauce in the spring roll ice noodles is the right way to eat it.
You're a cool guy 😉.
I live in China. Looking the video, Vietnam has so much like China in some areas, like the restaurant layout, the scrooters on the street (though not soooo many in China)...
Oh btw I noticed you took MH. Thank you❤
Diane really should of taken lesson in the use of chop sticks before she left on the trip, LOL
You should think about turkey on the next trip, oh and they also do hair too over there, might as well get it done when you are there.

Get some street beer in Hanoi, 5 for one US dollar. But no mici.

I think the first dish was a vegan vermicelli dish with tofu served with a soy sauce instead of the Southern BBQ beef or fried spring rolls with vermicelli and fish sauce mix which is called Bun Bo Nam Bo.

Please be cautious with your phone on the road. everything is fine that's all
Don't show your phone near the road, some areas are not safe and robbers will snatch your phone from a scooter. Or at least step back on the sidewalk.
