So great 😀! I’m staying in the old quarter also. Arrived Tuesday night. And I’m planning to go to some of those famous places too. I love Vietnam 🇻🇳 great to be back

RIP ANTHONY BOURDAIN

Another great video! I LOVE Hanoi. The tower in the lake is Turtle Tower The island was first used as a fishing site. In the 1400s, under Lê Thánh Tông a tower was erected to improve the comfort of the king's fishing.[1] In the 17th and 18th centuries, under the Restored Lê dynasty, the Trịnh lords had Ta Vong Temple built on the islet. In the 18th century, under the Nguyễn lords the temple disappeared. In 1886, while Vietnam was occupied by the French, a musician who was secretly working for the French, received permission from the government to build a tower in the middle of Hoan Kiem Lake in honor of Lê Lợi, one of the most famous figures of Vietnamese history and one of its greatest heroes. Legends surrounding his life involving the sword, Thuận Thiên and Hoan Kiem turtle are associated with Hoan Kiem Lake and the island. The musician planned to secretly bury his father within the tower. Residents of the city discovered his plans and removed his father's body from the structure. The three-story tower was still completed and was originally named Ba Ba Kim Tower. In 1890, the French erected a miniature Statue of Liberty on top of the tower. In 1945, after French control was overthrown, the Vietnamese government had the statue removed.[2]

Their smiles never fails to make my day , there's positive energy coming out of the screens of whatever devices i see them on 😂

I was soo inspired by ur vids that i booked a flight to saigon ..the egg coffee n tias lovely smile swayed me lol..stay blessed n happy always x

Egg coffee, Bánh mì and Obama noddles…sounds like a great day for me. It has been so much fun with your Vietnam journey videos. Wherever you guys will be next, bring your dad back! Since I’m also a dad, I found it so endearing that you guys let him sharing this adventure and I love you guys for it. 👍

That egg coffee was incredible. Not just that coffee, all the coffee I had there. My whole family now does sweet condensed milk in our coffee now after a trip there. Loving the videos. Been watching since you started posting and the videos have come a long way.

Anthony Bourdain did so much in bringing a positive interest in Vietnam tourism. Dude was a pioneer. I love the pacing of your vids!

Hanoi was my first introduction to SEA and what a cultural shock it was! I love the energy of that city. It's one of a kind. On another note, your postcard idea is so unique and fun! What a great way to engage with your followers. Love watching you guys. You emit such joy. It's truly inspirational

I can feel the atmosphere of Hanoi. Can't wait to walk those streets and try the food. I really enjoy your videos - broadens one's perspectives every day. You have made me very hungry suddenly.

The tower is called Thap Rua (Turtle Tower) The original tower was built in the 1400's for the comfort of the king while he fished. The Tower disappeared in 17th or 18th century. In 1886 a new tower was built and was in honour of Le Loi, a Vietnamese hero. It was originally called Ba Ba Kim Tower. The tower was constructed during French occupation and in 1890 the French erected a miniature Statue of Liberty on top. After the French were kicked out the statue was removed. There you go haha.

My kiddo and I are watching together. She's Thai and just now wanting to learn about Thailand specifically and Asia in general. She's loving the Vietnam series and overall, the videos have given us something wonderful to bond over. We are heading to Thailand for Christmas and we are going to see about doing some of the things you guys did while there. Thanks for the videos!

If anybody is interested...... Café Giảng is one of the most famous traditional coffee shops in Hanoi, located on the east side of the Old Quarter. Opened since 1946, the café was named after its founder Mr. Nguyễn Giảng - a bartender at a colonial hotel in the French Quarter. Tucked away behind a small lane, through what looks like someone’s house and could be easily missed, on the bustle of Nguyen Huu Huan Street. This hidden gem draws endless lines of locals and tourists to taste the original “cà phê trứng”, or egg coffee. when the resistance against the French kicked off the first Indochina War in the late 1946, his father had no choice but to relinquish his job at Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi Hotel and opened a café at home. To enjoy the strong and bitter French-press Robusta coffee, both coffee makers and local drinkers in Vietnam rely on a steady stream of sweeten condensed milk to balance it out - the trick that make Vietnamese coffee today. But what happens when the milk runs out? Shortly after opening his own café, Giảng faced the question when a milk shortage was caused by the war. With a clever hack whisking in egg yolk as a much-needed substitute for dairy product, surprisingly, he created a frothy cup of egg coffee resembling a liquefied tiramisu.

You should definitely get a couple of those triangle hats and travel to the next country wearing those.

I like when you present the dishes you are going to eat, it does honor to the restaurant owner

Girlfriend, now wife, and I had Pho in Saigon back in 12/2000 where Clinton went as first US president to visit VN since the war. Great eats in my wife's country! Love seeing your journey through VN. Safe travels!

I've been following some youtubers traveling Vietnam for a while now but watching you guys exploring my own country has been a blast, I've learned a lot on this journey.

I have really enjoyed watching your Vietnam videos, I appreciate your eye for detail with your music and video changes and how you see interesting things to film . Keep it up guys you bring so much pleasure to my week, 🙏 thank you

You guys and Vietnam has just been a vibe, seriously. It's been a pleasure to hang out with you through this little screen. A boost of happiness to look forward to!

You guys are so genuinely wholesome. Thank you

Great video. I have not been back in 40 years. Living vicariously through your videos.

Hey, we are enjoying your videos so much and especially Vietnam, we went a few years ago and planning another trip in 2023. WRT the little structure on the lake I googled and it says the island was first used as a fishing site. In the 1400s, under Lê Thánh Tông a tower was erected to improve the comfort of the king's fishing 😊

How good is the energy in Hanoi!! One of the most memorable things about the city! Hoping to see many more travels.

I am loving your Vietnam tour and enjoying watching your videos get better and better! I hope your touring and videos never end.

Your dad is great! Bring him back when you tour Australia or New Zealand!

Loving the Vietnam vids! The food, the culture and the bikes!

One of my favorite Bordain episodes when he ate with Obama 🙌🏻🥳

Recipes for banh mi have changed over the years, personally I miss the “original” one, which has butter, paté, ham, fresh cucumber & fried shallot etc… inside :) It’s harder & harder to find that in Hanoi nowadays. Anw, enjoy our food, coffee… & don’t forget to taste our different exotic fruits & drinks, they are refreshing !!!

What a tour of Vietnam 🇻🇳 and what a trip with your dad! I can’t wait to see where you are headed next!

8:50 No construction or renovation now for the Hanoi Opera House. It is music stage platform scaffolding which is going to take place this weekend.

Oh boy! You guys really had an enjoyable time in Hanoi. I’m glad you guys had a great time there. You guys should try these 3 famous dishes which were originated from Hanoi as wel. I last time had them at the restaurant near by the Sword Lake 10 years ago. I don’t remember the name of the restaurant. But there are many good restaurants in Hanoi which have these dishes. Have fun 🤩 1. Cha ca thang long (bake fillet fish) 2. Bun Rieu (crab vermicelli soup) 3. Banh cuon Tay Ho (fresh steam rolls)

I’ve been following your channel since your Thailand videos, because my husband and I are hoping we’ll get to go to Vietnam and Cambodia early next year and your videos have been super helpful with planning an itinerary. But above all, I love your positive energy and Tia’s sweet tooth (I have one too)! Your vlogs are the highlight of my day, I’ve been living vicariously through you (until we get to travel too). Wishing you two many more safe travels and happy adventures :)

I've never wanted to go to Vietnam but you guys seriously have me sold. You make everywhere you guys go seem amaaaazing. It's going to be one of the next few trips I go on for sure!

I'm so sad that your Vietnamese journey is about to end. I will still be waiting for your videos wherever you are heading to. All the best, guys!

One thing you can be sure that no matter how much vietnamese food you eat in Vietnam, you'll never gain weight. 3 reasons: First, low fat food, less cheese, butter, but lots of veggies. 2nd -hot humid weather you sweat a lot, thus lose weight. 3rd- you physically walk by foot to most places, lots of outdoors activities local shops, bars, street foods, millions things to be outdoors physically days and nights. So Vietnam is the BEST PLACE ON EARTH for losing weight or eating a lot without worrying about being fat. Healthy overall!

Seeing ur vids really makes me miss travelling

Love your videos.

Best dad, lovely couple.

Glad to see you all having good time in Vietnam! Nice place, nice food and most important nice companions!

Thanks for showing us around Hanoi. French Quarter looks interesting.

It's so much fun watching your channel grow and being somewhat part of your journey! I've been a sub since your trip to Munich, and still getting hungry after watching any of your videos since :-)

I have just discovered your channel and loving watching. You guys seem very genuine and likeable which is a joy to watch. Will keep tuning in from Sydney Australia to watch your travels. Take care :)

Thank you for wonderful videos. I like the editing style with a lot of details between the shots. Tinas smile is catching and I get in a good mood. I have been i Danang a couple of years ago, but Hanoi looks interesting.

Having so much fun watching you explore Vietnam! Really love Hanoi!

I heard it has been raining pretty heavily in Ha Noi and it’s flooded everywhere. Hope you guys still get to explore the city despite the rain. Really enjoying you vlogs so far!

Wow 😮 fantastic. Banh mi 25 is on my to do list for tomorrow. I got a hat like your dad’s today (but mine has a red Vietnam 🇻🇳 star on it)

11:48 😂 Cheveyo! Great work guys!

Travelling vicariously through you guys. Would wanna go back to Vietnam soon, after watching your videos!

Love your travels and love to follow you on your videos! Always in the look out for the next new video. And you are both really charismatic! it is a joy to see you. Best of luck in the next country you'll visit!!

I had that meal in 2019 at the same place. Best spring roll!

It's sad to hear that your time in Vietnam is coming to an end. I really enjoyed your following along your adventures.

I am planning all my excursions for VietNam next year base on all your great videos. ❤️ you guys. Keep up the great work

You two are so giggly today. It’s sweet☺️

Hi from Sacramento CA. Wow, this is the best video covering Obama's street food eating: The "Obama Combo". Didn't know this... Love it. :)

You two are so cute. So happy you are having a great time and spending quality time with Dad. Stay safe take care. 👍🙏❤

Glad to see so many tourists in Hanoi! Thanks for taking me on your trips!

Loved seeing your Hanoi adventures today! I have to get back there soon. 👍👍😆😆 love the energy there. Postcard 🙏🙏😂😂 Enjoy your time with your dad.

I just got back from Hanoi and I’m loving it lovely people 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

"the burrito of spring rolls" could have been your thumbnail! 😂 😂 😂 The food in Hanoi looks soooo good. We get hungry every time we watch your videos, which is not helpful at bedtime... 😴

It is so cool that you went to the Obama restaurant. This was one of my favorite Anthony Bourdain episode. He was my all time favorite TV celebrity. Thank you for going there.

Okay, okay. You've twisted my arm. I"ll try the egg coffee! LOL I have to admit that when I first heard of it, it just turned my stomach. And I'm not a coffee drinker. But I've watched a few videos touting the glories of this unusual drink, and yours has finally convinced me to try it when I get to Viet Nam this fall. And that bún chả looks amazing! I'll have to get up to Hà Nội for that as well. I hope you plan to stay there for a bit so we can see a lot more. Keep 'em coming!

When you eat Bun Cha, the local told me that you must slurp and every bite is a mouthful of food, not just a bit. It will enhance your enjoyment. You MUST try Chả Cá Lã Vọng. People say it is one of the best, if not the best in Ha Noi. Ask the hotel clerk, they probably know which one is the best. I only noticed now that you didn't go to Hoi An. How could you possibly miss it? Save it for the next trip then.

You mentioned how you were admiring the bonsai. It’s technically not bonsai, it’s a Vietnamese art called: Hòn Non Bộ, which is like a sibling or maybe a cousin of bonsai. They both have common ancestry though. Happy travels! Looking forward to seeing more!

a little late to the party with your channel but better late than never. we were in hanoi last year and ate at a bun cha restaurant nearby. fun fact: they were the first to be scoped out for obama’s visit but it was difficult for his attache to secure it so they went to the one you were at. love the vibe of your videos. looking forward to seeing many more.

I love your vlogs of Vietnam! i literally check when you guys post new videos every other day. I miss it so much, its been yesrs since I’ve been there last but im so glad you guys have enjoyed it so far🥰

@6:00 Hanoi Central post office building is far in the background behind you guys. Watching this brings back so many memories.

Continue to do what comes to you and keep the smiles going. Having fun with your experiences you will never forget.😊😊

I ate at the same place, and that seafood roll was outstanding!!! Loved the Bun Cha. What a great restaurant!

Love your content! I've watched all your videos, and they are so authentic and relatable. Keep up the great work, and glad to see the channel growing!

All the food looks so good, I'd travel to Vietnam just for the food and one day I definitely will 😂

Glad you guys are taking it slowly and enjoying Vietnam 🇻🇳👍

You guys are awesome I just love the ways you guys describe the foods.

After a hot day and the rain comes. Relief. Great trip guys. Cant wait to see where you will go next.

Came across you while researching Bangkok. We doing a family trip in December (from South Africa). And now I can’t get enough of your travels. Love seeing these places through your lenses.

Love egg coffee. I found Hanoi overwhelming. We went by train to Tam Coc for a week and came back and stayed in a different hotel it was much better and quieter there, behind the water puppet theatre. Egg coffee is a dream.

Hello guys, welcome to Hanoi city.

I love Vietnam! I’m enjoying seeing you wander the streets where I was a couple of years ago. And yes Bahn Mi 25 was the best!!

Wow, I just love your smiles all the way through Vietnam. Hope that you all enjoy your time exploring Ha Noi and other nearby cities. 💕🤞

It's become a running joke in my family how every time we go to see a famous building on holiday it's always got scaffolding on it! ps would love to get my hands on that postcard!

Nice tour of Hanoi and a great food tour as well :-)

It's nice to see that your family has been in Vietnam for a long time, wish you a pleasant and happy travel.

Awesome job guys.

Ohhh! The egg coffee looks awesome and I am not even a big egg person!

Hi guys, just started watching you guys from Australia. Love Vietnam and have been to Saigon and Hoi an area's and you look like you enjoyed them as much as I did. Hanoi was on the list for 2020, but now it will be 2023 . Thanks for the great videos. Cheers

Interesting about the egg coffee 😊

Cute postcard!

@4:42 My grandpa grew up in Hanoi and told me stories of seeing that turtle alive in person when he was young. He used to tell me it was bigger than his bed lol

Loved this one as usual!! That coffee looks AMAZING!!!❤️❤️

Definitely go down more of those small alleys, so much interesting stuff down them and some are really pretty!

I have been to Saigon but never been to Hanoi yet. Nice video as usual, thanks for bringing us along.

Hey guys! I am in haNoi too.. Been following them since their first day in Vietnam... Beautiful couple! And if anyone wants to catch up with me in hanoi, let me know :)) i am here for a week or so.

Yay!! We went there too. We stayed near that lake. Did you go to the NoteCafe? It is full of post it notes, people who went there write notes on post it notes and stick it anywhere. Really miss Hanoi, thanks for reminding us of our memorable trip there.

Welcome to Vietnam. Have fun eat well. And keep on smiling 😁😁😁😁😁

Wish you guys could do more contents from Vietnam, but it seems like you guys are headed off soon. Where are ya headed next?

I can feel the accomplishment through out the whole trip from SG - HN. I can tell there is a lot of effort, and you guys show it is worth it! Love your contents as always!

Beautiful city⛩And you two are such good guides🤩

You've been to most of my country, it's not easy for the locals, it's fun when you're driving on the road and Tya is happy to animate funny videos or dads, good luck Good luck, always have fun!
