Time to try some Vietnam street food. I am out here in Ho Chi Minh city to try some delicious and popular Vietnamese street food. The food in Vietnam can be really affordable and is well-known. There is more to Vietnamese cuisine than just the famous Phở noodle soup. Also, Vietnam is known for their special coffee combinations. Join me as we explore the streets of Saigon (that's how Ho Chi Minh City was formerly known) to find some delicious Vietnam street food and some Vietnamese coffee.

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.

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 ! 👍

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.

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.

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.

@sirhoopalot1 Жыл бұрын

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.

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 .

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.

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.
