Just had to say this reviewer is the best 1. They are very respective to tradition 2. They make videos entertaining taking steps further 3. They make videos entertaining again by putting humour!
@@MrZooganopolos I've been following this channel for 3 years now and you gotta check out his series from Africa, those were my favourites esp the ones he filmed in Madagascar and Nigeria. Opens your eyes to the beauty of the world 🤧
I am very glad to see that my Hmong people are finally on TH-cam. And, also seeing how the Hmong people from Vietnam people are doing. Just want to also added on by letting yall know that Hmong people from different countries, we lived different from each other due to a tragedy event that took place in the Hmong history. But, it's true what the older gentleman say...younger generation are running things differently, but we do tries our very best to keep our culture and tradition alive in today modern lifestyle. Well, hopefully yall don't mind me saying that. Have a wonderful day. 👏❤
@@T_P0811 I'm speaking of originally. The Hmong people I've come across say they're from Laos or Thailand. That's why I had the false idea. Same with Mien people I know....Laos/Thailand.
@@JohnDavis-uc1ic Originally, Hmong people are from China, and China has the highest population of Hmong people. After China, Vietnam has the next highest population of Hmong people. The reason why you are only meeting Hmong people who say they are from Laos or Thailand is because almost every Hmong person outside of Asia are descended or from Laos or Thailand due to the Laotian Civil War / Secret War. So the Hmong people you have come across are actually the minority subgroups of the overall Hmong population in the world.
THATS MY FAVORITE RICE DISH! 😍I'm so glad you're documenting my people, and not just naming Hmong people but each different accent of our people. Thank you Sonny! ❤ We don't have a home for people to know of the Hmong but this is the start to it. Your channel has the most exposure to the Hmong from what I've seen so far.
Sonny and Team, you don't know how much joy and happiness you have brought to so many hmong people around the world, with your videos about our people. The exposure that you have brought is a shiny beacon for many of us and as a Hmong person I would like to thank you and your team for the great and in depth videos you guys have produced. Thanks!!
i don’t think you realise how much shit i’ve learnt through all these free content. like seriously speaking, i’ve learnt more on here then i have in school & it’s crazy that this isn’t on netflix. god i love befrs
Netflix is controlled content. You would see only a quarter of what they put on here. TH-cam you get to be your own director for content that doesn't violate YT policy.
Theres a large hmong population in minnesota back in the US as well(which is where sonny is from). I hope our culture doesn't loose our clothing especially. Our clothing is so beautiful and colorful, plus it amazes and impresses all foreigners.
Hi Sonny, I am a Hmong American woman. I am very happy to see you expanding your food diversity. I live watching these videos. I love hearing my language through your video. Thank you for sharing us to the world.
My wife and I spent 4 nights in BacHa March 2020. People were afraid of foreigners because of COVID. Many hotels were closed and some restaurants would not serve us. The family at Kim Dat Hotel (right at the market) took us in and treated us like family. Madame Cham at the Hoang Yen Restaurant always greeted us with a smile. We took to eating all our meals there because we became tired of being discriminated at the others. Most of the Hmong vendors were nice and treated us well. The majority of the problems came from the Vietnamese shop owners in town. Still our time in BacHa was interesting and I would love to go back again.
sonny, i love your channel because you're more than just a food review show. you explore, expose, and show love to the different cultures around the world and you're such a friendly dude, i can't see why everyone gets along with you so easily. thank you sonny and everyone involved in this channel.
My dream has always been to work hard so that I can be able to travel,and not to fancy places but to these remote and isolated places in other countries 🙃 I'd love to experience the culture shock🥰
My Hmong people are the most welcoming people even though they are poor and not much fancy food to offer to you, but if you open your mind to new food our food are quite good 😊
Dude this show is so addictive and I love that they're so respectful towards those people and their culture, if I was a critic this would be the show of the year hands down ......
Ah, I think the blood sausage was good! I'm from Estonia, Northern Europe and we also have the blood sausages as traditional food. When I was a child, it was my favourite! We make it the same way with cleaning the intestines, but we mix the blood with salt and barley. I absolutely love them and we mostly eat it for Christmas coupled with cranberry or lingonberry jam. Another weird Christmas dish we have is meat jelly that sounds and looks very strange for most westerners. For this we cook swine head and legs long tume with some herbs and vegetables and later on we scrape off the meat from the bones and mix the liquid with the meat and pour them into cups and let them cool off, they will come out solid and taste well with some mustard or vinegar.
The northern Vietnam also have a dish similar to your meat jelly, which is called "thịt đông". This dish is mostly served in the traditional Tet holiday (Vietnamese new year holiday). I'm surprise that we have many common dishes. Cheers!
I love your channel! I live in Fresno California and grew up with a lot of Hmong friends both white and green. I have eaten their food and take part in their ceremonies. Watching this series is awesome! Thank you!
I have traveled to many Hmong villages and other tribes in remote parts of Laos. Some beautiful areas that are hidden up in the mountains. This location reminds me much of Laos.
Is it true Hmong is not only in Vietnam but also China, Laos, Thailand etc? How come Hmong people are secluded in the hills and don't have a national state of their own?
@@EdgarLopez-pv8co 😂 I’m sorry I’m not laughing at u just at the fact u think $8 is expensive in England for a chicken a live chicken it’s anything from £20-£180 sometimes more and for un alive chickens your looking at £8-£40 the cheaper it is the smaller it is your looking at a real small chicken like only feeds one and it’s usually that price if it’s close to out of date usually it’s about £14 for a medium chicken so yhhhh I consider your prices for chicken cheap as hell
As a Hmong person in the US, I love watching all of your Hmong videos! I would also suggest for you to go explore the Hmong people in Laos, Thailand, Myanmar and China too!!
He nailed it when he said, "nyob zoo." It's usually not easy for a non-native Hmong speaking person. I have a Russian brother in law and a Mexican brother in law, and both of them sound very foreign when they try to say it.
I can sympathize with Sonny on this one. I married into the Hmong culture, their rice wine is no joke, goes down like water and burns like gasoline it can creep up and punch you in the face without warning.
@@Michael-du2fv 😂 That must have sucked. Hopefully she wasn’t the only daughter or you would have been fked. And if she’s green Hmong, you best dig your own grave. Drinking wise, green Hmong is no joke compared to white Hmong. I’m white Hmong and I had a green Hmong home girl, she can out drink me which is insane and I only drink straight up 151 with no chaser.
@@ladiday8479 please have a shred of respect for people different from you. Sure, it may be very exotic to you and you don’t understand it, however, something we all agree on is that we all want to be respected. I’m sure you lived long enough to realize that there are many kind of people with different cultures, food, and perspective. You can say your opinion without being disrespectful in doing so.
@@anonymousssc9634 i never sayed nothing wrong The Bible says it so if u have anything to say go tell it to him father God, once again he touch nothing unclean cause it causes diseases, so i did not this respect no one so stop lieing me, I stand by the word of lord Jesus so go on a lie i stand by it,, who ever you get your mind straight i didn't sayed nothing wrong ✌
@@ladiday8479 I never said you said anything wrong. Your opinions have no right or wrong answer. I’m just saying be respectful in saying your opinion. You literally said, “No one should be eating this.” As if everyone must follow what you believe in. Don’t just pop out and say something disrespectful to ones culture and proceed to force YOUR beliefs. Like I said, it should obvious that there are people who are different from you.
I appreciate you making more videos of Hmong food and culture recently. We lack representation on media and this makes my heart so happy to see our people on screen. Keep them coming please!!!
This channel is such a joy to the world, getting an insight into other cultures and people through the people, what they eat, what they drink, traditions is such a treat and I am very thankful they create such great and informative content on such a regular basis, as a libertarian I am sick of hearing about governments around the world and basing a people based on there governing body, seeing those people living in the world they live has improved my experience of humanity and each video continues to expand on this improvement.
There is one thing you guys do better than anyone : You draw all of our attention into what you do and we live the moments with you. Well except the taste of the food.😂😂
back in the day, my mom would make sausage and hang them in the basement. it would always gross me out until one day i tried it. It was probably one of my favorite thing to eat growing up. super nostalgic.
This brother did his research with comprehension. Close but he can get closer. Love how you try to understand the differences of culture and life styles on earth.
I'm enjoying this series about the Hmong tribes. Great job on the writing and directing and editing! I feel like you and your team are getting your groove back.
Just wanted to add right around 8:39 that when asked the amount of time they've been working there the translator says 20 yrs when the hmong lady said 1 year.
@Peter Martins I’m confused. Didn’t they all have phones? And confessed that they want to maintain their culture? If they wanted to leave they can but this is something they seem to care about a great deal
Fun facts: the musical pipe instrument there are only synonyms for Hmong people. Wherever you go all over the world if you see that instrument in the house you know that they are Hmong or have Hmong blood in them in the past. Nowadays it can just be collectors item
You do your videos so naturally. Showing us everything while explaining. Sometimes it feels like a documentary/ movie. I just love your videos too much. You are a true inspiration for my new TH-cam channel. I want to one day do such videos 🙏 and have your confidence/ great content. Feels like i’ve been to Asia with you after this ❤️. I love you man! And Omg! Their shisha’s are so cool 😊😆.
Sonny I am amaze with your level of respect for the each culture you meet along your filming adventures. Thank you for this wonderful filming about my culture. You are a true and natural anthropologist!
@@sarahrecod3147 Yeah, it can be an all afternoon process but in most traditional Hmong families, the women do most of the prepping. Also, it's not something you make on a daily because of the work that goes into it. It's usually made during the Hmong New Year festivities or to commemorate a celebration (like a wedding). Aside from chickens, most men prep the animal by butchering and cleaning it.
@@JohnDavis-uc1ic I don't really know the literal history behind the Hmong literature other to say that it was adapted from white missionaries whom visited ages ago to teach the gospel of Christ. Therefore, they use the alphabet characters unlike other nationalities you've may come across. However, there are certain ending letters/vowels in the Hmong language that will alter the word. For example in the White Hmong dialect: mov = food/rice. if you change the "v" to a "b" now; mob = sick/hurt and is pronounced "maw" but with the tone pitch slightly higher at the end. Easier to hear the difference in person than on text.
@@JohnDavis-uc1ic it's because the V denotes the tone of the word. There are technically 8 (B, M, J, V, -, S, G, D), but mainly 7 tones used to each word and each time has a different meaning or no meaning to it.
I’m usually excited when my friends ask me to go on a food journey but i feel like if sonny is the one inviting me, i’d be stressed during the whole trip 😂
The Hmong are too nice and genuine. They’ll neglect their hardship they’ve been through to bring happiness and smiles to others. In Hmong history about their constant warfare and migration, the Vietnamese , Lao and Thai are no different from the Han Chinese.
Not exactly.. Food and alcohol are consumable and shareable. Especially in rural areas like that, more alcohol is never a bad thing, I'm sure. That anology with the fleshlight is just bad..
@@jaynguyen1573 omg...sry Mr. Proper, it was more of a joke than anything , I'm very aware of their customs and gift exchanging. There always has to be somebody that takes a joke and tries to ruin it. If it hurts your poor little snowflake heart I take it all back.
@@ttdd937 I mean, it obviously looks like it hurt your feelings.. So I'll take back my previous comment about your analogy being bad. Feel better soon!
@@abilawaandamari8366 not really. Blowing up and calling someone a snowflake after a gentle correction and casual exchange of information usually shows how much of a snowflake u are. The only one freaking out here was Tt dd. Its embarassing, Karen behaviour lol
Many of these tribes originate in China and even as far away as Tibet where I photograph them back and 1986. Sadly many of them in northern Thailand no longer wear their traditional clothing and you can hardly tell one tribe from the other unless you know the languages. My mission was to photograph and preserve their traditional clothing, I'm glad I did. It will eventually all go away.
@@Go4Broke247 This is true especially in the far North but even then slowly they are taking on blue jeans, plastic shoes and watches etc. I hope they can hold out and keep their Tradition.
@@pg618 This is mostly due to the Hmong involvement in the Secret War. Easier to blend into the populace if you don't wear your traditional clothings for fear of being persecuted.
@@pg618 I can only say for Hmong people. Hmong in Thailand wear their ethnic dress more often than the Hmong in Laos. In Vietnam, it is common for Hmong people to wear their traditional everyday ethnic clothing.
I laughed so hard with the desert analogy. I'm hmong and my aunt used to make the corn meal for us in the States. I was young but remember hating it. It always tasted like sand to me so I related to Sonny's analogy with the sand.
The culture is so powerful, life in villages is not stressful, they are rich with ways of living and it so beatiful and natural, no wonder they live so long. Sonny waiting for you to visit Tanzania East Africa 😊 Karibu sana

The corn powder looks a lot like the corn couscouz we have here in Brazil, it must be just as good :)
Hmong people LOVE YOU SONNY!!! ❤️
Their laughter is filled with innocence and openness.
This brother did his research with comprehension. Close but he can get closer. Love how you try to understand the differences of culture and life styles on earth.
4:10 I loved that reaction!
Lol she’s like huh WTF? Hell no.
I'm enjoying this series about the Hmong tribes. Great job on the writing and directing and editing! I feel like you and your team are getting your groove back.
Man I love these videos!!! To see different cultures is amazing.
this should be on Netflix. omg so quality content. thanks Sony and your team
One of the best videos showcasing Hmong culture. Tysm sonny and andrew!!!
Just wanted to add right around 8:39 that when asked the amount of time they've been working there the translator says 20 yrs when the hmong lady said 1 year.
Hahaha thats right😂😂i didnt even catch that part😂😂
What language was that, may I ask?
@@notachanel2298 hmong.
@@MrCMELS Thanks
When Sonny said “Nyob Zoo” awsome
we must petition netflix to give sunny a serries....
No..they will ruin it🥲
I would say start a petition but I agree with above. Netflix turn something great and make it poop lol
Nuh theyre fine where they are.
@@hat880 yeah, i remembered how angry i was watching their episode about Vietnamese cuisine. Bad in every aspect.
@Peter Martins I’m confused. Didn’t they all have phones? And confessed that they want to maintain their culture? If they wanted to leave they can but this is something they seem to care about a great deal
Fun facts: the musical pipe instrument there are only synonyms for Hmong people. Wherever you go all over the world if you see that instrument in the house you know that they are Hmong or have Hmong blood in them in the past. Nowadays it can just be collectors item
I spent a year with them, best year of my life. I learned real friendship and community there
i’m hmong!! it’s so coool to see other hmong people! 💚
Its asian tradition if u drink beverage, it needs to come with eating meat.. To balance both of the taste so they said xD
Nah, it's just an excuse to drink. Lol when eating meat
I wonder when my Indian countrymen realise eating meat is as asian as their veg dishes
Wine and Cheese. : )
Just say it's your country, not asian.
@@thedreamer1683 sjw crap on an innocent comment.
So nobody's gonna talk about how beautiful of vietnam is? Amazing place 😍
Edit: love from 🇦🇪🇵🇭
You do your videos so naturally. Showing us everything while explaining. Sometimes it feels like a documentary/ movie. I just love your videos too much. You are a true inspiration for my new TH-cam channel. I want to one day do such videos 🙏 and have your confidence/ great content. Feels like i’ve been to Asia with you after this ❤️. I love you man! And Omg! Their shisha’s are so cool 😊😆.
wow the landscape...
9:56 she said, "white guy is going to get drunk"
We in Indonesia eat corn rice too, but we usualy use white corn, eat it with salad with coconut shreded dressing and crackers
Mau berantem lo
In Asia, Sonny is known as the Gentle Giant.
Andrew is taller than him😂
I think you mean the Big Friendly Giant 😁
Really? Who call him that name?
You mean he's known as the invasive whiteboy
@@adventure_onthedaily9851 all giants are big...lol
The translator at 18.33 is so cute when she make the grumpy face when Sonny say "You're fired"
its the hands! 😂
Sonny I am amaze with your level of respect for the each culture you meet along your filming adventures. Thank you for this wonderful filming about my culture. You are a true and natural anthropologist!
That yellow staple is called “mov khuam.” Pronounced in English as “maw qua.”
I heard from my parents about it but never seen it. They said it takes all day to prepare it
@@sarahrecod3147 Yeah, it can be an all afternoon process but in most traditional Hmong families, the women do most of the prepping. Also, it's not something you make on a daily because of the work that goes into it. It's usually made during the Hmong New Year festivities or to commemorate a celebration (like a wedding). Aside from chickens, most men prep the animal by butchering and cleaning it.
Why isn't it written phonetically like the latter ? Why a v instead of w?
@@JohnDavis-uc1ic I don't really know the literal history behind the Hmong literature other to say that it was adapted from white missionaries whom visited ages ago to teach the gospel of Christ. Therefore, they use the alphabet characters unlike other nationalities you've may come across. However, there are certain ending letters/vowels in the Hmong language that will alter the word.
For example in the White Hmong dialect: mov = food/rice. if you change the "v" to a "b" now; mob = sick/hurt and is pronounced "maw" but with the tone pitch slightly higher at the end. Easier to hear the difference in person than on text.
@@JohnDavis-uc1ic it's because the V denotes the tone of the word. There are technically 8 (B, M, J, V, -, S, G, D), but mainly 7 tones used to each word and each time has a different meaning or no meaning to it.
So colorful the people's clothes, and faces are beautiful! The interpreter is so beauiful💝
'nyob zoo!'
YAY HMONG PEOPLE ^^
thank you for sharing our culture and lifestyle with the world.
Sharing/nvading similar but different...
@@shanesmith9820 uh what? I'm sorry I didn't get that 🤔 you mean (invading)? invading what? who's invading? I'm soo confused bruh.
It is too cute Mr. Fong held Sonny’s gift’ rooster with such respect….the entire time 😊😊
Your videos are very good. Keep up the good works 😀
I really love you and your team's videos! It's so interesting, funny, and educational. Keep up the good work! :))
It's a costlier side dish called "polenta" when it comes to Italian food..
you can get it as "Yellow Grits" in the South.
Here in south Brazil is a Very traditional food
👍️👍️
I’m usually excited when my friends ask me to go on a food journey but i feel like if sonny is the one inviting me, i’d be stressed during the whole trip 😂
I love how you’re featuring Hmong people in your channel. I’m a new subscriber from MN like you and I love to see Hmong people in Vietnam. 🤗
This might be my favorite episode..Cultural, Love food and loves you and what you do...Thank you for your time..
“Maybe we blow this guy.........away” i died😂😂😂😂
looking good traditional food. 😍😍😋😋😋😋😘👍
I like to eat traditional food 😋😋😋
Why are they so cruel tho like bagging live animals like toys ? . So weird.
@@anshumanghossd7297 I was also horrified to see that ,
@@gogi2500it’s their tradition..
Why do we eat overly processed foods?
FYI: honeycomb sandals are the unofficial sandals of Vietnam
My man Sonny really working hard to put Vietnam in such a good light and everyone appreciates it!
The Hmong are too nice and genuine. They’ll neglect their hardship they’ve been through to bring happiness and smiles to others. In Hmong history about their constant warfare and migration, the Vietnamese
, Lao and Thai are no different from the Han Chinese.
I like Andrew as a sidekick and a plus, his Viet is impressive! His inputs and commentary are genuine and entertaining.
Tbh, I’m watching netflix for free. 🥰😘
U dont need netflix too watch movies. There are websites for free
@@gothicfps6240 and who are you?
@@lalalalisa8013 let me tell you. Dm me ig: gothfps
Ah yes because only people you know are allowed to reply to your comment
“Now you are Married ”
Thats it
Sonny...bro...u brought alcohol as a gift to a guy that owns his own Brewery, Thats like gifting Johnny sins a fleshlight.
Not exactly.. Food and alcohol are consumable and shareable. Especially in rural areas like that, more alcohol is never a bad thing, I'm sure.
That anology with the fleshlight is just bad..
@@jaynguyen1573 omg...sry Mr. Proper, it was more of a joke than anything , I'm very aware of their customs and gift exchanging. There always has to be somebody that takes a joke and tries to ruin it. If it hurts your poor little snowflake heart I take it all back.
@@ttdd937 I mean, it obviously looks like it hurt your feelings.. So I'll take back my previous comment about your analogy being bad. Feel better soon!
@@jaynguyen1573 nobody ever likes the "well actually" guy during jokes so his reaction is understandable.
@@abilawaandamari8366 not really. Blowing up and calling someone a snowflake after a gentle correction and casual exchange of information usually shows how much of a snowflake u are. The only one freaking out here was Tt dd. Its embarassing, Karen behaviour lol
man your videos never gets old, i can watch it over and over again
The humor kills me...THIS IS THE BEST SHOW EVER.Thank you guys....peace
Many of these tribes originate in China and even as far away as Tibet where I photograph them back and 1986. Sadly many of them in northern Thailand no longer wear their traditional clothing and you can hardly tell one tribe from the other unless you know the languages. My mission was to photograph and preserve their traditional clothing, I'm glad I did. It will eventually all go away.
Go to Laos, you'll see them a lot.
@@Go4Broke247 This is true especially in the far North but even then slowly they are taking on blue jeans, plastic shoes and watches etc. I hope they can hold out and keep their Tradition.
@@pg618 This is mostly due to the Hmong involvement in the Secret War. Easier to blend into the populace if you don't wear your traditional clothings for fear of being persecuted.
so why are people of tribes in Bolivia and Peru and Ecuador and Burma and Thailand losing their ethnic traditional clothing?
@@pg618 I can only say for Hmong people. Hmong in Thailand wear their ethnic dress more often than the Hmong in Laos. In Vietnam, it is common for Hmong people to wear their traditional everyday ethnic clothing.
Ho ho Ho- chi- Minh we shall fight ! We shall win!✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️

Sonny I just want to thank you for all the amazing videos! You’ve been a huge inspiration to mine and my wife’s travels! Amazing work!!
Thanks Sunny for being our window to these tribes! Great show as always!
The part where he eats the corn meal stuff and it cuts to him in a desert has me gone 💀
I laughed so hard with the desert analogy. I'm hmong and my aunt used to make the corn meal for us in the States. I was young but remember hating it. It always tasted like sand to me so I related to Sonny's analogy with the sand.
"tell her that she's my mom today" lmao
I did not kno tat u can binge watch on youtube until I discovered this channel…. Just love this guy Sonny ♥️
The culture is so powerful, life in villages is not stressful, they are rich with ways of living and it so beatiful and natural, no wonder they live so long. Sonny waiting for you to visit Tanzania East Africa 😊 Karibu sana
