Can't eat tofu, it's a thyroid thing. My husband commented on your 'chili pepper addiction'. Keep eating and giving us all the ideas for and about food. Thank you Mark and Ying.
What a coincidence. Someone just requested that tofu dish on my channel hehe. I should make a video for it soon :) Great vid Mark. The fresh veggies look like young mustard leaves.
Mark Wiens That juice rebound italian meatball was awesome, would love to have a bite of that! We also get pickled mustard greens here in Sichuan, pretty delicious too!
I was born in Vietnam, came to the states when I was 7, now I'm 15. I went to Saigon about 2 months ago, my aunt always took me to fancy restaurants instead of street foods because she said it's not good, the food in the restaurants were okay, then I ate com tam somewhere on the streets, and wow, it tasted way better!
These Vietnamese Street Food dishes look so good. I also, really like the all of the fresh green herbs included with the meal and the dipping sauce. It looks much healtheir than my usual everyday one hour lunch break of Hotdog, Pizza, Burrito or double Cheese Burger and a Soda drink. This is normal fast food for me as an American growing up in the States. Thanks Mark for this awesome Video.
Hey Ying & Mark, I'd like to take the opportunity to thank you two for all the wonderfully entertaining videos you've produced this year. It's such a joy to see you enjoying different foods and cultures with your usual degree of respect and humility. Hope you and Ying have a great Xmas and New Year. Regards. Jim.
Hey, Mark. Just thought I'd recommend a couple of great dishes that I think you'd enjoy while you're there: Bo La Lot (Minced beef and garlic wrapped in beetle leaf served with a fish dipping sauce), Com Tam (Grilled pork chops, shredded pork, pork skin, egg, meat loaf, cucumber and pickled vegies served over rice), Bun Bo Hue (Spicy noodle soup with beef, pork, served with herbs/vegies), Cao Lau (noodles, pork, local vegies, served with spicy sauce/broth), Banh Xeo (Vietnamese crepe served with pork, prawns, bean sprouts and herbs/vegies with a fish dipping sauce), Banh Canh Cua (Crab noodle soup with thick udon style noodles, crab meat, served with herbs and chinese donut). That's quite a lot to get through (well, in one sitting lol). Hope you get to try them all. Bon appetite!
Mark Wiens No worries, it was my pleasure. I'm glad to hear that you did! That's a shame though, Cao Lau is very tasty I'm sure you would have liked it. Apparently, it is exclusive only to the city of Hoi An (where the dish originated from) so I'm not surprised that you missed it. Well, if you ever happen to visit Hoi An be sure to try it! Keep doing your thing, Mark, cheers :)
Huge appreciation from Vietnam 🇻🇳 ❤ I've started watching your channel very long time ago but during the quarantine in whole my country, this is the perfect time for watch all the old video
My family used to sell Com Tam when we were still living in Vietnam years ago. This brings back good memories! Thank you for the video! I love Vietnamese food
Everybody should do a video like Mark when travelling. It's really satisfying and enjoyable to see the places, foods, atmosphere and firsthand experience. Unfortunately he's the only one on youtube right now and wish he did more food videos. No pressure lol
Hi Mark! I'm loving your recent videos on Vietnam, it makes me really nostalgic and I'm looking forward to the other videos! Com Binh Dan literally translates to the average person's lunch, I would equate it to Vietnam's version of comfort food. The fish you had seems like it was mackerel, and it was "Kho" or braised in caramelized sugar, coconut juice and fish sauce, which is one of the most common ways of cooking fish/meats in Southern Vietnam. The dipping sauce for the veggies also looks like "nuoc kho" which is the braising liquid from the caramelized fish. yum!
Hey mark id just like to thank you for inspiring me to be more healthy in my food choices. I have a thing for fast food, but ever since i started watching your videos, ive come to appreciate real food!
Oh,Ying is so cute to say 'my fish!' Haha As a big fan of food, I sometimes wonder how she can bear the food untill you are finished with shooting @_@ alsways enjoying your videos! Thanks Mark!! :D - Bella
Stuffed tofu with tomato sauce! Soooo delicious! My favourite dish when I was a kid! Everytime my Granma cooked it I ate a lot and was really happy! :-)
i really love how you are so open to new cuisine. i can't wait to travel to Vietnam. I will not go there soon but my boyfriend (he is vietnamese) will take me once I finish nursing school in the philippines in 6 more months. your videos make me crave it so badly!
yum looks delicious and sooooo affordable, so thankful my mum is able to cook up a meal like that. the fish looks like Ca Thu.. which is mackerel i believe :)
Another really good film, thanks Mark! All that food for $3.26 is amazing and to be honest a lot better than the food I eat at home every day. I'm a Brit so curry and rice is a fave of mine.....and an easy thumbs up. Cheers mate!
sniff rat Thank you very much. Yah, this type of meal was probably the most affordable and most filling in Saigon, really enjoyed this type of eating while I was there.
Keep up the awesome work Mark, your description of food is very colourful and always depicts accurately what it tastes like, Vietnam is on our list of places to visit, Regards Don
The food you are eating is from the South of Vietnam, that's why it tastes a little sweet whilst Thailand food is a little sour and quite spicy. I love them both :)
oh my god, Mark! your addiction to chilli is just like my uncle's =)) he lives in the country side and everytime he eats at a restaurant or vendor he'll ask the owner for extra chillies because he would eat a whole one with each spoon full of rice =)) watching you eat makes me miss him so much ^_^ thanks alot for your love to Vietnamese food
love the video so much. I haven't been back to Saigon for so long @@ your videos remind me lots of great memory. Tks u so much. Plss make more videos like this
You should try some noodle soups in Vietnam ... Such as Bun rieu (in 3 thang 2 Ly Thuong Kiet) or bun Bo hue ... I had a chance to visit Vietnam last summer and got to try these amazing noodle soups. around Lu Gia in Ly Thuong Kiet there's a place that sell beef serve on a sizzling plate also a small plate of salad, egg, paste, and baguette. Hope this will give you new experience in Vietnam.
I'm Vietnamese and.. I love the way you use the spoon when you eat "cơm bình dân" (it is not used that way though), really cute 😍 btw you very good at use chopsticks 👍 Thanks for all videos and love ya so much 💙💙
Mark Weins. I love your shows. Those are the places I would visit if I come back to Vietnam. You must visit city Mo cay Nam and Ben tre. There are 2 places I would recommended. At Mo Cay Nam, Ben Tre, there is a place sell Nem Nuong. (Only 1 in the city) It's the best Nem Nuong in the country! In Ben tre City there is a PHO restaurant called, Anh Hong. It's super delicious! You will not be disappointed.
mark thanks for all your videos on vietnam.. now i will show the the videos and try to get the wife to go the last week in may were both are in are mid 50s its now or never.looks like your living your dream.
Mate, you've been fantastic with your videos. I always look forward to your regular wed and sun updates. Good on you. Also, merry Christmas and a very happy new year to you and your family.
yeah that stuffed tofu....wow. You know now I love chillies even more after spending a year in India. My wife really showed me how awesome they are and how they bring out the flavors in food. ROCK ON!!
Mark will you ever return back to Zanzibar or Tanzania or Ethiopia? Cause the food looks really good! And you finally got famous!! I've been watching you for 2 years :)
I love the stuffed tofu, too. You know how there are foods you have to become accustomed to growing up? Well, that tofu was one of the few things I loved right away and have loved all my life. It's definitely delicious!
Oh my how I love to see you eat. You look like you really enjoy the foods but damn the chili....the whole thing? I'm thai and I can't eat spicy like that. Wowza!
Yep, its actually said in the name of the meal. These kind of restaurant are made for people work in office to grab a quick lunch or for workers because of its cheap price.
hey man, nice video and i believe you`ve enjoyed A LOT in VN, becasue I just did and dying to visit it again! BTW, you really can eat spciy food and chew chilli raw, I`m from China but still can`t do that )) Hopefully I can visit Saigon again soon with my Vietnamese GF, cheers!
Seems like all your videos show how much you like the food. Are there certain foods that you've tried that you didn't like and do you mind sharing them with your subscribers? Thanks Wien
Vietnamese street food - cơm bình dân - the most typical (and delicious) rice and side dishes in #Saigon #Vietnam
#travel #food
That FISH looked particularly delicious, I'd trade you for the Turkey pie I had today!!!!
That tofu looks awesome!
Can't eat tofu, it's a thyroid thing. My husband commented on your 'chili pepper addiction'. Keep eating and giving us all the ideas for and about food. Thank you Mark and Ying.
