I will follow you, but I have nothing to prove. My friends already know I'm cool. As a matter of fact, I am 52 and I live in a retirement community in Florida, so I'm known as 'the young lady with all the tattoos!' And yeah, I'm in a biker gang. I ride a three wheeled bicycle, because I'm cool like dat. People WISH they could be as cool as me.... I'm just sayin.....
I have had the pleasure of having that in the states! It was made by my girlfriend's grandmother, or Apo, during special occasions! Soooo epic and the sweet one is delicious as well. My girlfriend is learning how to make it, so do not worry, the tradition lives on
3 videos over 3 days of Tet covering 3 regions of Vietnam. Awesome concept Sonny but even better is the execution of all 3 videos. Somewhere out there is a course on media at some university that is using you as an example of how to do it right. I just feel bad for those students after seeing your videos in class though as they will go out and wolf down a big mac.
It always drove me nuts when I was in the Navy that we would go to all of these new and interesting places in Asia and all over the Pacific and my shipmates would just look for the closest McDonald's or anything like it for food. I had to drag guys to different restaurants to try the local cuisine. And for the most part, they were always glad I did. Except durian. We all really regretted trying durian.
all mom in Vietnam often said that :" i just keep your lucky money for now, and when you grown up, you can take it back" but trust me, it will never happen, you cant take back your money
I had tears in my eyes when Sonny handed over "Well Wishing" money to the elders to show his respect . I wish I still have my parents to repeat of doing so. I remembered long ago each Tet I wished my parents with the red envelopes that content some money, we called " Longevity ' gift . Each year I noticed more gray on my parent's hair. Memories can last forever, so for whom still have your parents, cherish these moments while you can.... Happy New Year !!!
Y Kal Thank you, btw It hit me hard to see more wrinkles when my parents smiled . Yet, I never forgot those smiles somehow they expressed more kindness with each year went by... Lol . Would I be like that when I get older ? I'm wondering
I'm happy that you called Tet "Lunar new year" instead of "Chinese new year". "Chinese new year" is a very biased way to talk about Tet because not only the Chinese people celebrate it but also many other asian countries' people do. I don't like whenever any foreigners call Tet "Chinese new year" because that makes me think by default, they mean only the Chinese people have Tet.
I agree. So many time i have to correct my foreigner friend to speak it right. I dont like people call chinese new year while you are staying in Việt Nam. Chinese new year doesnt presentation for lunar new year in every country.
you do know that your country was under the rule of china for centuries right? only people with chinese heritage celebrates it, not just "asian countries"
Trevor is too repetitive and a bit bland and Mark has freakish face reactions and eats too wildly to the point its a bit uncomfortable. this is by far the best food review show. genuine and sarcastic personality with realistic reactions to everything. Also imo the best editing and production quality. Keep it up sonny, i hope that you're able to expand your channel vastly.
Fun fact: The bitter melon in southern Vietnamese is homophone with "to overcome miserable". So southern Vietnamese eat it with the hope of overcoming all the miserable in the new year. The northern Vietnamese people dont call bitter melon as the southern people so northerners do not usually eat it in Tet
"When you were little, what did you do with your tet money?" My mom took it all....every asian household can relate to this. haha! Never seen any tet money my whole life. LOL
Pia Jensen Originated from China, ( Lao name ), its was Lao ppl that introduced to Viet, ( Lao given name for Vietnamese ), thousand of years ago. Vietnamese, ( English name ), got it name from a country called Viet, Nam, ( Vietnam ), ( Lao given name ). Ha, Noi, ( Hanoi ), Sai, Gon, ( Saigon ), Hai, Phong, ( Haiphong ), is Lao names.
Living far away from home, seeing your videos on Tet holidays makes me miss Vietnam so much. Thank you for sharing your experience with us! And happy lunar new year :D
I had a lot of patients who were in critical state.. I was so toxic... When I arrived home and Heard a notification that you had a new video... I opened immediately my youtube app... Feel so relaxed and happy.. keep it up
Gefinition Vlogs I readed your comment at least 4 times. I've decided to pitched in more of my income thru my friend for kids who suffered in VN ( specially in education). Your professional inspiration helped me gain a better understanding of how important it is to achieve not only a medical degree on hand but also the paralleled compassion that you share with your patients. It's so admirable beyond words... I hope you enjoyed your time off to balance it out , please accept my New Year best wishes to your entire family.
I love when the lovely lady slapped his leg, 😂😂 This is just so beautiful, I hope I can visit Vietnam one day. And hopefully this tradition will never die off, and more and more young ones learn how to make Banh Tet!!! ! 🌹🌹🌹
You're like one of the few if not the only food review channel on TH-cam where I don't cringe from the weirdness or the try-hardness (for lack of a better word). Your personality is infectious and really keeps us fans coming back. What I don't understand is how you don't have more subscribers! Keep up the good work!
Dear Sonny, That was a very sweet gesture . . . you participating in the Vietnamese tradition by giving the elders the red envelops. I am raw vegan and cry sometimes when I watch people cooking meat, but I am hooked on your channel. I am Vietnamese (American) and feel you are helping me to reconnect to my roots through your channel. I feel you have a Vietnamese soul . . . and a beautiful one as well. Keep up the good work.
This Tet series is very heartwarming for me. Unfortunately, this year I was not able to spend Tet with my family bc my girlfriend had surgery. But while she was recovering, we watched your Tet videos and at least experienced Tet with you Sonny. We are both foodies, so a video about Tet food is probably the best way to spend Tet for us anyways haha.
He's actually supposed to dip the rice paper in water before using so that it softens and can be used as a wrap. But he already started using it dry and so that's why she said it's too late to dip it in the water, not the sauce
Whenever I feel a little bit down, especially during this Covid-19 lockdown, I watch your videos. Suddenly, I'm all smiles and I feel my heart bursting with Joy.
Growing up in Southern California, I can say that the Viet-American community has amazing access to authentic Vietnamese cuisine. Banh tet during the new year and everything else you can imagine. Amazing amazing amazing Vietnamese food in SoCal. Check out SoCal sometime, Sonny, especially Westminster (the biggest Vietnamese diaspora outside of Vietnam). You will not be disappointed. Seriously the best food show ever
seeing foreigners trying out our traditions is really great i love how you really immerse yourself in the experience by gifting good luck money to the elders and exchanging new year wishes
Hey Sonny. I'm a new subscriber of your channel. I really like your videos because I can relate to most of it.. I'm from northeast India, you'll be amazed how similar the northeastern culture is to that of Vietnam or China, in terms of pork, fresh river food, rice beer etc. You should visit.. I like 4 things about your videos 1. It's funny 2. You show the process of how you get your food or the hunt 😊 3. You mention the price tags which makes it easier for people to calculate and inspire to travel. 4. You use a "healthy" sarcasm to state the obvious negative side of things. 😂
HAAHAHAHAAH I LOVE HOW ME (is that how her name is pronounced) is so herself and comfortable in her own show ! feature her in more 2020 content sonny! LOVE
This was so cute! So glad you got to partake in such a special holiday, and I admire the respect you have for the people in vietnam!!! happy new year bro :-)
7:00 Just a note though, when in Asia, if you are giving an elder person a gift, always use both hands to hand the gift. Using one hand is disrespectful.🙂
They're not Banh Tet. They're Zongzi ( called Nom Chang in Cambodia ). They can be made in any shape, wrapped in any kind of leaves and is way more easy to make.
Hoàng Nguyễn Phạm Minh I don't think op meant "nom chang". Pretty sure he/she knows the difference. Cambodians cook it exactly the same way. Same ingredients and same method of cooking.
If you used to try both, you can tell the difference. Chinese in my country make Zongzi on Zhongxiao Festival. As I'm living near a Chinese district, I usually have it for breakfast at that time of the year. I also tried what you mentioned during my trip to Cambodia last year and it was just Cambodian style Zongzi. It doesn't have the unique smell of Banh Tet and tastes completely different. They even altered many ingrendients to their liking.
That's why I love Sonny Side food review more than Mark Weins, Sonny is funny and friendly.Every videos I watch I'm laughing and smiling From Phillipines
Beautiful video today featuring the entire family in their celebration of Tet. All of the food looked so scrumptious! As always, Bestie, loved you and your humorous way of looking at things!

Always love ur videos...👍
I always think your producer is cute. Keep it up Sony.
Amazing looking food as always!
Glad you made some friends Sonny.
Great video ☺
Grandma can slap!! English or not, Grandmas have six sense when it comes to someone talking shit about their food :D
Johnny Tabry Absolutely right! While watching, my mum just sneak in the room and slap me on the head “ I cook better than her” she said.

This made me laugh so hard because it brings back memories when I would receive those red envelopes and not get to keep any of it.. ANY.
John Nguyen that’s the joke random guy, it’s a joke not a dick don’t take it so hard.
Well, she used those money to buy you things, like food, clothing, and etc.
Ye my mom had mine so that she could buy clothes
Same like Malaysian Chinese moms haha

I agree. So many time i have to correct my foreigner friend to speak it right. I dont like people call chinese new year while you are staying in Việt Nam. Chinese new year doesnt presentation for lunar new year in every country.
thats right vietnam is rice civilization which pretty much based on moon so lunar new year is represented for a good year of rice harvests
you do know that your country was under the rule of china for centuries right? only people with chinese heritage celebrates it, not just "asian countries"

Thanks :)
Lol 😂 you are so good at describing.
R-Ditty Music omg you read my mind
R-Ditty Music. Agree!!! But I wonder why does his video have less views than them? It's actually much much better
"what's up with all this wild life here" lmao xD

Wonderful Tet series! Thank you for showing us the traditions in Vietnam during the Lunar New Year. That's beautiful.

Cyril Carisosa It was only a joke, American humor, haha, Sonny would understand it
pretty girl
This is so cool! I never knew My was a guide, was she the producer too at this time?
I asked the same thing and now I think she's his girlfriend
I love when the lovely lady slapped his leg, 😂😂
This is just so beautiful, I hope I can visit Vietnam one day. And hopefully this tradition will never die off, and more and more young ones learn how to make Banh Tet!!! ! 🌹🌹🌹
LOL you got spanked by grandma Vietnamese style 😂

Banh tet is my favorite new years food Q_Q!! .... the one with the pork in center and fried ♥
Yeah 100x better when fried
Refreshing change from Mark Weins and Food Ranger.
Watching almost a year after the vids release lol who watching feb 2019???
Lmao I love it when she sings "it's too late to dip it in the sauce" and Sonny just tries so hard not to laugh while eating 😂😂😂
He's actually supposed to dip the rice paper in water before using so that it softens and can be used as a wrap. But he already started using it dry and so that's why she said it's too late to dip it in the water, not the sauce

"pork belly, Chinese sausage, some.. plants" 🤣 8.03
I can’t wait to see this channel continue to grow even more. Truly an amazing guy.
Sonny you are inside Vietnamese culture right now I feel so touched:)I hope you will get to experience biggest holidays in other cultures as well:)

Just a note though, when in Asia, if you are giving an elder person a gift, always use both hands to hand the gift. Using one hand is disrespectful.🙂

My mom took all my tet money too 😭😭😭😭
Poor you😂😂😂
I personally have always like Bánh Tét with sugar. Have u tried it?
It's not dying art. In United States, Cambodians make these all the time during holidays and funeral ceremonies.
They're not Banh Tet. They're Zongzi ( called Nom Chang in Cambodia ). They can be made in any shape, wrapped in any kind of leaves and is way more easy to make.
Hoàng Nguyễn Phạm Minh I don't think op meant "nom chang". Pretty sure he/she knows the difference. Cambodians cook it exactly the same way. Same ingredients and same method of cooking.
Hoàng Nguyễn Phạm Minh Lol Nhoam chahng is different than nhoam sahm chrook. yeee me lawp yooorn nee!
If you used to try both, you can tell the difference. Chinese in my country make Zongzi on Zhongxiao Festival. As I'm living near a Chinese district, I usually have it for breakfast at that time of the year. I also tried what you mentioned during my trip to Cambodia last year and it was just Cambodian style Zongzi. It doesn't have the unique smell of Banh Tet and tastes completely different. They even altered many ingrendients to their liking.
Hoàng Nguyễn Phạm Minh I guess you've tried the lesser version from whatever place you ate at whilst in Cambodia.
