I had a south Vietnamese mother-in-law who cooked like a godess: I LOVE VIETNAMESE FOOD! However I'm not too keen on blood pudding. I love Banh bao, Nem, (Cha gio?) and lots of dishes I don't know the name of!

Vua Bánh Mì is my favorite, when I am in Saigon I eat their Bánh Mì three or four times a week for lunch. Everything is fresh, their stores are very clean, and you have a very large selection of different ones to chose from. So tasty. Bánh mì Như Lan is also very good, I think it is a famous place for Bánh mì in Saigon.
When I was younger I had Vietnamese spring rolls, the flavour was awesome. Would love to have them again but the lady who made them has passed away. But have found recipes and use them,so delicious.

WOW What An Outstanding Video From Start To Finish
In the good old days when international borders were open I spent a lot of time in Saigon. For breakfast I alternated between Pho Bo and Banh Min op la. I always went to the same pho place because they supplied a big plate of green vegetables with each customer. There was also a reasonable supply of condiments including sliced lime. They gave my complimentary tea occasionally as I was a regular customer. Hardly ever saw a westerner there even though it was in district 1.

Wow such a diverse array of different types of food. So different than typical American dishes which are basically the same no matter where you are. I’m so excited to return and try everything.
In fact, "Quang" noodles in central Vietnam are the only breakfast food, or even eating at other times, it's full of nutrients, more than "pho" and vermicelli. the price is cheap. "Quang" noodles have a variety of vegetables, There are peanuts, eggs, shrimp, chicken, snakehead fish, frogs,char siu meat...etc. to change. add pancakes. In general there is flour, protein there, green vegetables of all kinds."Quang" noodles are cheaper than "pho".
Love the food love the culture. I’ve had dozens of college students from the region who have helped me with the culinary journey. Bravo to you ‼️🥂
Like the banh mi very much but now also know about its history as well. thank you for this wonderful vlog full of interesting info😀😀😀
I agree with everything you say, although Pho is a great decision for a rest of your life meal, for me Hanoi Bun Cha and Nem from my favorite restaurant is something I couldn’t bear to separate with.

Ty for your personal and sincere sharing about food from your country. It's videos like this that will spark my interest to maybe visit Vietnam in the near future. Keep up the good work.
I was born in Da Lat, but both my parents are from Hanio... But what I can remember growing up in Da Lat and Saigon (early 70s) Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner is basically the same. Mom just mixed it up.
Very interesting and informative video. Thanks for the advice.
I watch her video each day, thanks for making interesting videos. Hoping you can do more!
I’m learning everything I can about Vietnamese culture so I can impress my Vietnamese girlfriend and her family and your videos really help!!! :)
Very well done video, well researched and presented. Also I agree with you, if I only could eat one thing for the rest of my life….PHO!! Keep up the good work!!
great video :) I wish more people asked about the magical soft pluff cute rice ball of Vietnam, banh bao :D
another great episode. I am really excited to travel there.
Love the room deco.... Soup..Noodle.... Banh Mi.... Yummy!. Stay safe
Great video! Love these tips!
Another great episode with lots of good questions! I have a request: could you share with your followers the story about how broken rice became popular in Vietnam? (I already know the story, as it was told to me by a friend from south Vietnam.) Thanks!

Loved the story behind the sandwich. I’m going to tell that story when I have that sandwich next month as I’m traveling to Vietnam 🇻🇳
loved the explanation on banh' mi' history
My typical breakfast was banh tet/ banh chung and soya milk. Occasionally xoi mang or banh mi anything fast so I can catch the bus. I used to work in Saigon and Hanoi from 1995 until we moved to California in 2001. Those were happier times.
Very useful information. Thanks!
You’re so smart and informative!

New in Vietnam and your videos are Really very helpful.🎉
Hey! M so happy dat I came across ur channel। Learning about Vietnamese culture and food before visiting the place is exciting। Going to visit Hanoi in October।😁
Wow your videos are so informative 🌹🌹🌹
I've seen all your video . Really helpful video. I can learn english from your video too. Thank you so much .
This is very helpful. My favorite pho place is in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. It's a hole in a wall restaurant but their Pho is out of this world 😀
Your smile is so contagious
I enjoy your videos! Your calm presentation is so pleasant! The food sounds REALLY GOOD!! Where do you recommend getting some of the authentic recipes, like Banh Mi?
This kind of culture promotion is what tourists need the most. Honest, but also attracting enough to make tourists interested.
Growing up in VN, I always had xôi for breakfast. There are dozens of varieties and they’re all delicious.
In Australia, Pho looks like southern Vietnam style. It's my favourite food, l often drove more 15 km to my favourite Vietnamese restaurant to eat it.
excellent! We have several good Vietnamese Restaurants in my city. That video made me hungry!

That was good. If I ever get a chance to come to Vietnam, I will know much more about its regional cuisines. Thank You!...
Love ur videos about VN
I was in Ho Chi Minh two weeks ago and walking along Ben Thanh market, the vendor offered me snake wine! I politely declined since I’m horrified of snakes but thank you for telling us to avoid it! I watched your videos before my first trip to Vietnam and I fell in love with your country during my stay. I’m already planning for my next trip back! Thank you for your informative and fun videos Van! It’s youtube channels like yours that should thrive and get more subscribers! Cảm ơn!
I'm a Vietnamese-born American and I just eat instant noodles such as MAMA, Hao Hao, or Nongshim for breakfast every day. Also, I eat those Vietnamese "breakfast dishes" for lunch on the weekends because my parents have time to cook those special meals on the weekends. Sometimes I eat a fried egg with banh mi or banh mi thit for breakfast if my family bought banh mi loaves and cha lua from a Vietnamese supermarket.

There is this breakfast dish which I once ate in Hanoi : steamed sticky rice eaten with braised pork, egg, and other savoury items. It tasted so good! But it is not commonly found.

Holy cow, that bánh cuốn sounds freaking amazing. Heading into Chicago next week, gonna have to snoop around Argyle & Broadway and see if I can find me some of that.
Thank you for the video
Good choice pho is Vietnam’s most favorite dish [Gosh Dang!!!!]
One of the best tips on eating is seeing if the place has lots of customers or not. If there are lots,even a queue, then it is a good sign of not only being safe, but delicious. This applies to pretty much any country though.
Great video 👍🤗
Big fan here~
Wow ngon quá thật hấp dẫn. Video clip rất hay và tuyệt vời. Chúc bạn thành công sức khỏe ❤️🤝
Love Vietnamese food 😋! So easy to eat vegetarian and gluten free. I understand more veggies in the south due to growing seasons.
Hi, I am a student and I really love your channel. It is a good channel for me to learn English
This video is very useful the next time I come back to VN. I haven’t go back there since 2016. Miss my relatives over there and the foods. VN foods are best in the world IMO. I grow up here in the US but love VN foods.
Awesome video
Hi Beautiful thanks for sharing the video take care.
these are great videos
you are making me hungry. I live about a mile from Chicago's Little Vietnam. I am going to try something other than PHO or Bahn Mi, my normal orders. the info about Bahn Mi is Sooooo unsurprising. I am glad to hear that the Vietnamese at least tried to make it their own. I also hope they open up to Americans soon. there are several countries in Asia I have yet to go to and Vietnam is on the bucket list.
Mr. Simpson! So respectful lol. I'm missing out big time on northern pho. Idk why but it seems like 98% of pho in the U.S. is southern pho. It's just as rare to find shops serving fresh banh pho like in VN.

I assume that after the war, most of the Vietnamese that immigrated to America were from the south. Therefore southern pho is more common for that reason.
@laughter95

@@GeologyDude yeah, your hypothesis is probably correct. But there are still many northern-accented refugees outside of VN. Despite many of them having moved to the South during the war, I would think the prevalence of northern pho elsewhere would be greater than what it is currently-- basically non-existent.

@@laughter95 The people who were born in the north originally and moved to the south before and during the war and then left when the Viet Cong took over went on to university and became engineers, doctors, lawyers, accountants, etc. in the U.S., Canada, etc. Source: my whole family and extended family and all my parents' friends. These people do cook northern style foods/use the northern flavor profiles at home, but just for friends and family. The only people I know who ran/run restaurants or nail salons are the newer immigrants from the south who didn't or don't have the opportunity to pursue higher education. I know some business/restaurant owners originally from the south who were too old or were already married with children and couldn't go to university so they eventually opened up small businesses. I'm seeing more restaurants opening up that are northern style these days.

Very interesting video to learn about the street food in VN ( Ha noi)
Great tips.. Nam has changed since I was there ..
Great video.
I like Lee's Sandwiches (banh mi) here in Southern California. When I lived in Arizona, they had 1 as well.
It's so interesting that some dishes become famous and spread around the world, while others don't. Bún bò Huế looks delicious, but I've never seen it in Vietnamese restaurants around the world. I guess I'll just have to go to Vietnam to eat some.

Once Prof. Philip Kotler also mentioned this problem. He said that this has something to do with the national marketing. He said that Vietnamese cuisine is fabulous. Unfortunately, it is not so widely known in the world cuisine map. Comparing to Italian cuisine from Europe, Chinese, Japanese, Korean cookery from Asia, the Vietnamese cuisine is underrated in the public view.
