- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ก.พ. 2020
- The Tôn Thất Đạm, a long standing market that is over 100 years old right in the heart of Saigon! This market has such a fascinating history and getting to learn and see it now is so important as this market will inevitably not exist in a few years. Due to high demand of the property, this is a hot spot for property owners.
So come with me as well tour this market to learn it’s history and delicious hidden food that it has to offer in the market.
Saigon is full of so much diversity, history, and delicious food. I cannot wait to continue to explore Saigon. To tell its stories from so many perspectives and peoples point of views. Saigon is amazing and I hope you all see that as well!
None of this would be possible without sponsors so thank you so much to A Chef’s Tour for helping make these videos a reality. If you are looking for a true local experience with delicious food then check out some of the tours they offer.

Bring Back So Many Memories of Chợ Cũ Tôn Thất Đạm..Ty Max.
this video was done beautifully. I had no idea you had this type of format. I enjoy all kinds of format you've done so far.
So happy saw your video again Max ❤
🙋♂️Hey guys, he did film about Vietnamese foods in HCM before! Now, he wanna understand the foods, people and the cultural in here! You should understand that not just eating! Thanks guys.
Another well-made, documentary-style video, Max! I love that the story of the market and the locals to the forefront. And while we've lost a bit of the connection to you due to the documentary style rather than vlog style, I really dig what you're doing. I know you're still experimenting with the look and feel and taking people's comments into consideration. But I have to say, it really feels like you're building something unique and special here. Looking forward to seeing what you do going forward!
Thanks as always Brandon. Yes, I have so much more I can do to improve and reconnect. But we will get there forsure! Have to take chances sometimes and I feel like this one will ultimately benefit the channel!
@@MaxMcFarlin You're welcome, man! You'll definitely get there. And I agree...I think this will benefit your channel for sure!
Keep up with this new format. I enjoy the history and diversity. We grow from knowledge!
thank you. going to be doing better each time
From Vietnam with love
I love Việt Nam 🇻🇳
Great documentary type videos Max
thank you. really working on it
Man that was great Max! You’re improving each episode. Keep it up mate! I want to go to the market now 🤤
thanks Adrian! Just trying to get better each episode!
Hi Max, I love how calm your voice is compare to the loudness of your surroundings. Great video.
Thank you Joy! glad to hear that
I like it better when you do solo videos because you’re more energetic :)
understood:) I will work on it
ว้าวอยากไปทีนั้นจัง
It's great document bro! I think you love Việt Nam, foods, poeple and cultural! I hope you have good time in my country.
🙏❤
Hey Max, keep doing what you're doing I appreciate how you are all about the people. I see remarks on people not liking the new format but if they truly support you they will be open to your changes and watch you grow. Keep it coming many blessings on your travels.
thank you for the comment AM. I appreciate everybody's comments. It is going to help the channel get better and grow! Have to be able to take the good and not good so I can continue to improve! Thanks for understand and here is to better videos in the future!
This is nice Max, learning the history of the market. I really hope they can clean up the market so it can stay forever. That was so nice of the owner sitting down with you and showing you how to eat the food, it looks delicious.....
haha her personality was amazing! Yeah unfortunately since it is such prime location they will have to move.
Nice to see the new format, the videographer is doing a great job. Story telling fits this style. Every now and then don’t forget to also include the more personal informal style messy Max eating and filming by himself as well 😀🤪. Early days but can see great potential Max.
yes, I agree with you. we need to continue to put more of that back! It is a work in progress, going to slowly get better!
Unlike some of the other comments I am enjoying the new format, never subscribed before but have now
welcome! Glad to hear that. Going to take what you got and feedback and try to make something even better:)
❤❤❤
I think it’s great that you are trying new styles of filming and this was awesome. 👏🏼 I love your old style aswell because it was so raw but anything you film I seem to love so think it’s safe to say I’m an actual fan! 😂
thank you for always being here! We took some big risk, but the videos next week will be so different as well. Just a lot of experimenting going on trying to find the right style!
Sososo funny...lol.. when the lady owner sat right next to Max and then she suddenly took off and came back in the picture.
Hi Max,
Love seeing you in Vietnam, my country ❤️
The new videos are really informative and diverse, which I really like. However, if you interact more with audiences by somehow, the videos will be more exciting. We want to see your face, hear your voice, and know your feelings more in the videos. Sometimes the guest controls you videos. This is just my opinion
Tons of love from me and my son ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Ah I am glad you said that! I shot a few videos this week that are going to be a lot better balance so I am hoping they do so much better!
That moment of silence at 8:40 and your face 😂 You’re like “Hold up, I need a moment alone.”
hahaha you got that right😂😂😂
So this may well serve as a social document of the market in the near future 😃❤️
that would be cool!
Glad you decided to go another route with your style of videos. It's much better now, you don't seem to be yourself
MAX PLEASE BRING BACK THE OLD STYLE.. :( LOVE FROM SINGAPORE.
Ahhh much love!
I’m really liking this new direction with your vids! I think it would be great if we got to see more of the lives of the cooks and hear their stories. But I can see how that may be difficult 😅
Yes, that would be amazing and is what I am working towards making!
Great documentary but i miss you food videos. :(
I understand! We are doing a lot of experimenting now. Trying to find something that still has the personal feel yet gives people the ability to tell their story.
It's really great to see another episode of Vietnam. Been following you for a while and really love your stuff. You did great with this new style of video. Sure it's not perfect yet but I believe it will be in the future. so keep it up.
P/s 1: little feedback for this video: if you could tell more story about the market, that could be great...you know...dig deeper into it.
P/s 2: Sorry about my English tho :v
You are right. we had some footage, but the audio wasn't great. However, thank you for the feedback. It isn't perfect right now, but I believe we can get there, just have to keep working at it!
hey mate ,,,, really liked your videos and the way you explained the taste,,, but now errrr kind of missing something go to old style ....
I'm seeing the beauty of this new style of MKOE's, Max. You got something here and only time will review the overall plan you have for your platform.
we shall see! Still so much to bring to the channel! I have a lot planned!
haha that lady telling off her staff was hilarious
haha she's amazing!
OMG VIET NAM 💖💖💖💖
Brother and also Chef Tristan Ngo 😍 Hope you two have fun!
we sure did!
Thanks sis... enjoyed yours with Max as well. We need to keep the food culture here.
Things are so nice in my country , thanks for eating our food and hope you’re going to get a large of subscribers soon
thank you for your kindness:)
the owner of the restaurant reminded me those ladies in the Vietnamese opera.
Really enjoyed this I hope there is more to come ❤️
Two for the price of one food and history of the establishment what more can we ask for only keep up the awesome work love from 🇮🇪☘️😘
Yessss, I have so much to get better at, but I just have to keep giving my best effort!
@@MaxMcFarlin you are doing great as they say you have to learn how to crawl before you walk 👍💕
You should upgrade your glass lens to a thinner type, that would make you look younger lol
I went many times to that "com tho Chuyên Ky " restaurant since I was 7 years old . And now , I will turn 70 soon . A lot of souvenirs from my childhood in SGN
Many thanks to you and your VK friend for posting that vlog
How long will you stay in VN for , this time ?
no problem buddy! I actually live in SG so I will be there a lot!
Love u max😘😘😘😘😘
Frm sri lanka
awe thanks for the love!!!
From my blur memory, I don't think Tôn Thất Đạm market existence is longer than 50 yrs. It was as semi illegal flea market or so. It was definitely a DRY not Wet market then. Why semi?
Early 1970s I was still a primary school kid. Ton That Dam was a place selling Textiles & ILLEGAL products: PX (Post Tax or 0% import tax or tariff) only catered for the US. GIs. The GIs got a list of what to buy ( from their local "partners" & later sold at Tôn Thất Đạm mainly cigarettes, Boos, perfumes, glassware, watches, electric fans, white goods, electronic products like radio, cassettes, TV. All of these were supposed to bear a full brunt of 300% import + luxury tax (we were a poor country at war). Not only PX goods but also stolen needy products eg. sugar, rice, cooking oil & military rations with a big, clear caveats on the packages: Hàng Viện Trợ Cấm Bán or Quân Tiếp Vụ = AID from USA- NOT for SALES or MILITARY SUPPLY. I walked by my late uncle who loved Phillip Morris ciggies on Tôn Thất Đạm occasionally for a pack Phillip Morris, the seller ran away just before a police raid (the police informed them before the raid. The marketeers knew the police schedules. Usually 1 raid per 2 hours daily) We just stood there patiently for less than 10 minutes the sellers came back. Then we got the ciggies & went to nearby Chí Tài restaurant with its signature dish Cocotte de Lapin/Civet for super.
After 1975 Ton That Dam 'market' sold the same products as 2nd hand. Now it evolved to a market totally differs from the past: much larger & permanent (not ready to run from police raids) the products now are mainly foods.
Tôn Thất Đạm was not unique. There was another: Nguyễn Thông, District 3. May be more, I was a kid then.
Hey Max. Congrats on all your success and I am happy to see you try new format. Even though it’s much more cinematic unfortunately the speed and flow has slowed and I find myself skipping ahead. Your old format is also way more entertaining to watch. I say you are a faster and better story teller or maybe you need to edit it so your audience isn’t waiting for the story telling. Maybe a second channel for this format?
Salsa Bachata Lessons Vancouver Salsastudio.net heyyyy! Thanks for the kind words and feedback. I’ve still got a lot of new stuff we are trying in the next couple videos. So I want to see how you and everybody likes those videos. It will be faster pace so I am hoping everybody will like 🙏🏻
Max McFarlin great. We are all here to support you. Good luck brother

GM MAX !!! Much ❤❤❤
goodmorning!!! or goodnight for me haha
Make some collaboration with other food You tubers
By the way the etiquette in Vietnam is different from North America...we need to have an open mind.
Learn about history at your own phase please Max ....not being disrespectful but it's a foodie blog and I wanna see you eat food 🤗🤗🤗
I understand:) and of course no disrespect ha!
Cô chủ max hài 》《
I love bun thit nuong - in the past, I loved it more than pho. :) The other place you went to, that soup looks bland as heck. The whole meal was just eh to me. I miss your old vlogging style. I still think you need a local to show you what/where/how to eat, but you should do the commentating on your own as you have more energy/charisma. But do add a bit of the beginning like in the past three videos. Those are nice.
Okay, awesome! I definitely understand! I will work on some changes.
How many more episodes until we can go back? Asking for a friend.
haha
I also wear my glasses when I eat 😎
haha I have to, my eyes get so dry with contacts!
While you're there, ask for Gac fruit juice. Red color juice, can find easily in Saigon -Vietnam. Drink twice a day, helps a lot🙏
4th coment 🙋🙋😊😊 ❤️❤️❤️
Ayyyyy that is what's up!
@@MaxMcFarlin 🤗🤗🤗😘😘😘
The red fruit in the soup is a chinese date.
👍❤💋
Really like your content but one biggest question, how do you keep your T-shirt white and not get any splashes/mishaps from eating those delicious food? Asking for a friend~ or not
hahahahha you have to make sure to lean forward a lot 😂😂😂
@@MaxMcFarlin the thing is, no matter how much I lean forward, I am just going to splash some sauce on myself 😂 can't help but still eat like a child
Lee Kong Joe haha maybe you just need to invest in some black shirts 😂😂😂
Nice aerial of the market. But progress will be destroying all these places. But food comes first before it’s all gone. Wow that bowl of noodle looks so good. I noticed you’re eating less in this blog. The facial expression you alway showed have not been. You don’t have the stamina that you had more like a tourist. Thanks Max it’s always nice to watch you.
Good feedback sir. Thank you for letting me know! I will work on getting some of the old Max back:)
Max McFarlin yeah

I think im being bias by saying this but i think viet food especially south VN food are the most balance flavoured food compared to other countries food in Asia.
Hiiii 😍
hello:)
Max please do not lament the passing of these unsanitary and makeshift environment. It was like that in Singapore before the hawker centres sprung up. So it is both hygienic and also better environment to work in. No point hankering after the past as this is progress.
I am just trying to cherish something while it is still here. Of course it will change, the only things constant in life is change.
@@MaxMcFarlin But you are a unique American, as you come to the region to engage compared to many who prefer to live like a mushroom. Hope you can finish you med studies and come and live in the region. Safe journey and discovery.
lol that's red dates ..not plums
jujubes?
I’m not a fan of the new format if I’m honest, too slow and laid back.
Good to know. Thanks:)
Not a fan of this new style either... prefer your old style videos. More natural and focus more on the food. Eg. The lady sat down next to you to show you how it's done but the video angle doesn't even show that.
Kinda not enjoying the new style of your vlog, it’s a little bit boring (sorry) but I appreciate that your trying new things. ❤️
I understand. This is an experiment stage for me.
first view..lol
nice! Thank you for watching!!!
i'm totally unfavored & disliked most of the country outdoor markets due to filthy, dirty & chaos BUT then again we're poor ev'rything goes there...have fun y'all!
❤️❤️❤️
