Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam Is Beyond My Expectations 🇻🇳

1st part of this day in Ho Chi Minh City ➡️ • Ho Chi Minh City Vietn...
Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam Isn't As Expected - Inside modern Saigon Vietnam
It's still my first day here in Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam. After exploring some other areas earlier that day (Which can be seen in the previous video) I came to a more modern area here in Ho Chi Minh City (formerly known as Saigon). To be honest, I didn't really know that Saigon has some super modern areas like this too. Feels very different compared to the areas I explored earlier that day. Join me as we eat Vietnam's most popular dish, as we explore the modern area and going up the tallest building in Vietnam: The Landmark 81 tower, from where we can get an amazing view over Ho Chi Minh City. I also had a super expensive beer up there, the most expensive beer I ever drank...

In my opinion, if you just want to go to the top of the tower, then buy the basic ticket 300k vnd (12 euro), if you want to go to the top and have a drink, look the telescope better to buy commbo( 20 euro), or you can also don't need to go to the top of the tower, don't need to buy a ticket, can directly take the elevator to the restaurant / bar to order drinks and sit and enjoy the view like you did, it is only a little lower but can see the whole beauty of the city is easy, but the price of drinks here will be expensive, cheapest drink as coffe 10 usd

Congratulations on setting a new personal record for the most expensive beer you've ever had. Now you have a new record to shoot for. The glass was very nice too. Did you get to take it home?

Hi Ken, I guess that this tall building and surrounding park area is quite new as I don't remember it from when I last visited HCMC five years ago, but I did go to the top of another very tall building (tallest at that time, I think) that had a helicopter pad at the top. You can see this building briefly in your video. Great views of the city from the top of that building, by the way. Interesting that they sell only Belgian imported beers though, which are naturally very expensive in Vietnam. The cherry flavoured beer is very popular in Belgium, I believe. Cheers / Prost ! 👍👍🍻🍻

Ken, do you check reviews before trying a restaurant? It often seems as though you frequent establishments as you come upon them. Remember what happened when you were casually stopping at random food stalls in Manila and eventually fell quite ill at the beginning of your trip. Please take care. Love your interaction with the locals in all of your videos!

The black sauce was soy bean sauce, the red one was chili sauce and the green leaves were basil. They are the basic ingredients you put in a bowl of Pho. In Vietnam, Pho can be eaten anytime of the day even though many love to eat it in the morning.

@bongsellers4572 Жыл бұрын

It's basil. Looong time ago, people only have pho for breakfast. But nowadays people are having pho anytime as their craving desire. Usually, I would taste the broth first before adding the sauces.
