Hi, I'm Uyen Ninh but please just call me Uyen!

@@uyenninh🤭🤭🤭👍💕
@@uyenninhThai King is already too expensive in the upkeep 😅
@@paddypat8 There is a french solution for that problem
@@uyenninhI made Xôi lá dứa last night because I was craving it. I wish I were Vietnamese or Thai just to have easier access to the food!
As a Thai person, receiving compliments from Vietnamese people that is our neighboring country like this makes me feel VERY GOOD 🥹❤✨
Im also Thai, and yes, its a great compliment but tbh it IS great :D Especially coconut ice-cream ^^
I'm Vietnamese and I agree with on Thai Food, although it hurts a bit. But I'm fine with two Thai food TH-camr Pailin from Hot Thai Kitchen and Marion being a fan of Vietnamese cuisine :D
@@TamHuynh-xj6jn do u know any famous vietnamese food/cooking channel? i want to cook real viet food so badd, i know we have a lot of dishes that were influenced or brought in our country by vietnamese people but whenever i watch vietnam travel vlog, the food i see just look so completely different from here
I have been Thailand. It’s beautiful. Everyone has a smile. I have red hair and it was an experience lol.
SAME
German BF wasn't lying, you literally wore his clothes the entire time 😂
Bless German Boyfriend 😂
Not really
@@zlatanonkovic2424 literally every shirt in the video is his lol, why disagree just to disagree
She always packed light. Good strategy tho . Too bad my french bf is much bigger than me
Who else wants a cooking video with Uyen? As a European I'm quite curious how you prepare your Vietnamese meals when you only have opportunity to do the shopping in German stores. I (and probably some of us) would gladly learn from you!
There are quite a few good Asian stores in the bigger cities that carry the real deal. So if you're willing to look around a bit you can get quite a few ingredients here in Germany as well. What I do have to concede, getting ripe fresh fruit from Asia here is either impossible or hellishly expensive as well as very environmentally unfriendly as they have to be flown here. Getting a good ripe mango, lichis, or mangosteen is almost impossible here. Yeah, I'm sad as well as I had the pleasure of experiencing the difference in Sri Lanka.
I would love that!
She has already done a few cooking videos.
Yessss I also want to make classic Uyen dishes with her modifications for German stores
I've mostly seen her cook German food, like that cake. @@eleo_b
Uyen is becoming a proper trip vlogger now!
That's what I thought this is way better edited than usual non-short videos and way better filmed, fun
@@PrOzielonek2nd that 😁👍
and she's very good at it
Love anything she does. Me and her audience would be so gifted if she made longer form videos of vlogs more often. We'd all be gifted
as a Thai currently living abroad, I understand the struggle of recreating a Thai recipe 😂 although asian seasonings are readily available anywhere now and you can substitute some things, I think what really makes the dishes are the herbs. so happy to be able to share my culture through the joy of eating! I'm a sole believer that there are no fixed recipe for a dish since every household has their own twist, so I hope you continue to enjoy eating and cooking Thai food😊🙏❤p.s. cashew chicken sauce is actually very simple(oyster sauce, soy, sugar, sesame oil), it's the frying every other ingredients that makes it a challenging dish😂
the best way to share culture is food and drinks 😀
also you unfortunately cant get seafood that fresh in most places!
Thanks for the cashew chicken sauce recipe! ❤️
My oldest son is married to a Thai. He also absolutely loves Thai food.
I know a married couple, she is Thai and he is German, they both live together here in Germany for years and visit her family in Thailand twice per year and they realy love each other. She still has big problems feeling really comfortable in Germany, not only but mainly because of the climate, the food and the groceries, and then finding some that she really likes, although she has already worked for Toyota in Japan and a few other parts of the world and therefore has experience with food that is unfamiliar to her. Of course, she often tries to cook original Thai food, but she isn't really happy with that either because not everything tastes the way she prefers and knows it. Ok, only a few people around her think that she has completely other problems deep inside herself and just can't or doesn't want to deal with them, but that doesn't have to be true.
So glad you love our food! Octopus hack: most shops offer both sweet and spicy sauces and you can ask the seller to mix them. I usually do half-and-half so the sauce won't burn my tongue! Lots of love from yr Thai fan ❤
I live in Malaysia so we experience an insane melting pot of cuisine. Out of all the SEA centric spicy food that I've tried (Indian, Filipino, Malaysian, Chinese, Vietnamese, etc)... none beats Thai. But the great thing is, even though it can be insanely spicy, it also tastes SO good (also you can always tweak the spice levels to your liking). When I was in college, I ate tom yam almost every day and it eventually trained me to be impervious to other spicy food. My favourite combo is red seafood tom yam, mango salad and pandan chicken. Sometimes switching it up with either pad thai or shrimp cakes. Have it with an iced thai milk tea, and then cendol for desert to top the whole thing off. PERFECT meal! Just *chef's kiss*
ไม่เผ็ด.. ไม่อร่อย 😅
noting to myself to survive off of tom yam in order to develop spice immunity xD I'm from UK so my spice tolerance is horrendous but I am stubborn and want to eat spicy
Goshhh… you made me drooling at 1 a.m.
@@nerdychocobogood luck! 👍👍
Can you suggest some vegetarian dishes as well?🙂
As a Thais who follows your channel. I want to say thank you to enjoy our food. BTW Thai people also enjoy Vietnam food too. We love every others country’s food that is yummy. ❤🎉
This is so real! I am Filipino, and I concur, I like Thai food more than my own country's cuisine 😔The trip I took to Thailand was literally life changing, the food was so good that I found myself wanting for more flavor and spice when I went back home so I tried learning to cook some of the Thai dishes I liked, and that is also how I first learnt how to cook and enjoy it.
As a Thai i feel so honored and happy how much you as a viet loves our food, could even cry out of happiness -
Uyen you're such a sunshine! You, German BF and your videos always bring joy and happiness! Thank you 😊🌞
Agreed @Nini00000 👍
Absolutely support!!!
Awww thank you very much! 🥰 As a Thai (and of course your fan!) I am glad you like it. This is the highest level of compliment especially from Vietnamese!
I visited my Vietnamese friend in Hanoi last year. The food there was super delicious!! I enjoyed everything. But what captured my heart is the Chân gà chiên mắm. Best chicken fried feet in the world. ❤
sticky rice with mango is just sooooo good, I had it years ago and can‘t stop thinking about it
Japanese born American here.
I LOVE Thai food!! I tried but always failed cooking it at home. Just like Vietnamese food. I support the local business by going out. 😊
So glad to find you!!
More I watch, I feel like I’m watching happy myself!!
You make me 😊 smile, girl!
Most of Asean cuisine made from fresh ingridient like plucking leaf from the tree so when come to oversea cooking that depend on frozen or dry ingridient that never same as cooking in Thailand 😅
Thanks that you like our food. The glass noodles salad is called "Yum Wun Sen". It's my favorite food that I ate in Thailand almost every day. I now live in Germany and miss that food very much.
I'm so appreciated your love for our food. You make me realized how long I have ignored the food court and visited foreign restaurants more often than when I was a kid. Thank you, Uyen!
Glass noodle salad is one of a type of dish called “yum”. You can put anything in yum, my fav is instant noodle. Im thai and i learned from my aunt that the secret in the yum sauce is the brine juice from pickled garlic and a bit of stock from ground pork when you cook it. These two will make the sauce umami and combine everything nicely, otherwise fish sauce, sugar, and lemon juice dont come together and too tangy
I've only visited Thailand a few times but every time I was blown away by the food. I found a super good somtam at the Hatyai floating market. When I was in Bangkok, I went to Chatuchak and had the same squid/octopus with green chilli dish as you. It was so good!
Food at Chatuchack is only for tourists.. the place on Suhkumvit 1 also, but it's really good
She’s now a food travel influencer 😂❤❤
I recently discovered your videos and you’re already my comfort influencer. Thank you for being so genuine and hilarious
I'm Thai and a fan of your channel. Thank you for this video😍😍. We mostly choose Vietnamese restaurants when we're out. My husband is a big fan of Bánh mì and I loveeee Vietnamese food! We want to visit Vietnam one day.😀😀❤❤
When I was in Thailand I also LOVED the cashew chinese dish! A good alternative for the ultra-spicy rest of Thai food 🙂 So I agree with German Boyfriend ! 😛
the thing that make mango sticky rice so good in Thailand although it's such a simple food is the mango tbh. mango in Europe doesn't taste like that😭 I live in the UK and so hard to find good tropical fruit that taste good here.
and also coconut milk, canned one always have distinct smells that you can tell it was canned. fresh coconut milk is the best I can't say it enough
I'm living in Thailand now so I eat Thai food every day. I was recently asked if I missed British food and quite honestly there isn't much I pine for, although I wouldn't mind bacon or ham being available I don't crave it!
I have to agree whole heartedly with you regarding the mango and sticky rice.
One of the first things I did in Thailand is look for cooking courses, Found a place that did lessons for 1000 baht per lesson or 5 lessons for 4000 baht. each lesson is either a full morning class or afternoon class. Each lesson you can pick 4 meals to learn and they provide the ingredients and teach you, including making the curry pastes. You can eat the meals there or takeaway to share with friends. I still cook some of those now, especially green curry and pappaya salad ( I swap the pappaya for cougette because Pappaya is rough on the stomach) and mango with sticky rice.
Agree! Thai food is the best!🥰 they have bright, fireworks like flavor to simpler flavored ones, fresh ingredients, so affordable too.. ugh I miss them so much🤤
Being born as a Thai is considered the luckiest person in the world because there is only delicious food in this world. I am willing to die and die in Thailand for just one life.
It's better than being born in hundreds of lives in other countries.
if you love Thai seafood sauce it 's super easy to make by yourself when you miss it -- fish sauce + lime or lemon + crushed garlic +chili + coriander root and leaf - balanced the taste like this sour > sweet > salty ; easy to obsessed with every kind of food lol
I love your videos and I always watch them right after they are uploaded. Keep the great content 👍
❤❤❤❤❤❤
As a Thai, you stole my heart ❤❤
Haha, Uyen eating coconut ice cream and commenting „not bad“ is such a German way of complimenting😂 „Hatte schon besseres, aber das hier ist auch ganz ok“👌
This video was amazing!! 💜 You should make a video of you trying to cook Thai foods :))
Agreed. This would be amazing 😁👍.
That would be amazing seeing her do that. I love seeing her cook 😋💕
I'm fairly new to your channel and I live in Vietnam Uyen! So much fun to watch you share your life and culture with the world. I just spent a weekend in Thailand in July and my favourites were definitely the Tom Yum soup and the Mango and sticky rice pudding as well! Their mangoes are legendary!
Just curious if you've ever had the Vietnamese grilled bananas wrapped in sticky rice and banana leaves and doused in coconut sauce? It won a dessert award a few years back in some competition.
That's so cool! I'm German and I spent a week in Vietnam and a few days in Cambodia. Vietnam is such a beautiful country with amazing food and such an interesting culture!!! I loved it so much and I really miss it. I'm definitely going to come back one day!
The most endearing thing about you is that you are really respectful to all the countries and culture you have been to! Can you suggest some vegetarian dishes as well? I am from India, so my spice level is moderate😄
Lots of love and regards to you!
Sadly there is fish sauce in almost every our dish except for dessert. Good thing is there are some selling Thai vegan dishes by replacing original recipe with something else but taste almost the same. You just do a little more research to find a place. If you come to Bangkok I recommend “Sutunthip Vegan”. You can google it.
Could you recommend any specific Indian vegetarian dishes? 😊 🙌
@@donttouchme9063 I hope this is not a pun! 😄 In India you can find hundreds of vegetarian dishes! In metropolitian cities you can find vegetarian dishes from all over India.
@@shikhapandey242 I’m not joking, just wondering about vegetarian dishes around the world 😌
@@donttouchme9063 India is a heaven for vegetarians! There are so many vegetarian dishes from different parts of India that it will be an injustice to name just few! :)
I welcome you to India to experience it!
As a Caucasian who has lived 1⁄3 of my life in Europe, 1⁄3 of my life in Asia and 1⁄3 of my life in the US I love watching your channel. Noting the differences in different cultures is what I love of travel.
I'm still a rather new subscriber so I'm not sure how you always pronounced "good" ...but I swear I'm hearing you say "gut" !!
In San Francisco and currently in Seattle we have wonderful Asian food carts and restaurants and I agree that street food is the best! No ceremony, no tip, just really great food prepare hot and fast!
I grew up on milk tea so yes yes yes! Coconut I've cream is the bomb! NO SPRINKLES!!
If you're from Caucasus, I'm surprised you don't like Georgian food. It has a lot of meat, but is very good!
You need a show on the travel channel! I would love to watch you and the mystery boyfriend travel the world trying the food!
I do agree that Thai food is one of the best!!! Basil pork rice with a sunny side up ❤
The sweet chili chicken at the chatuchak market was everything. I also wanted to move to Bangkok for food, massage, & shopping! I bought the jasmine essential oil that was burning in every massage place - the smell of Thailand for me!! Heaven. Even the Bangkok airport was fun and beautiful
As An American Thai food holds a special place in my heart. It's incredible. The smells, textures, tastes, and aroma just makes every dish so fantastic and amazing. When you eat Good Thai good it goes HARD
Omg I adore the way she uses words to communicate, it's common vocab and easy to understand everything
As your Thai fan I am super happy that you had great time in Thailand! Great compliments about Thai food also made me very proud! :D Thank you!
I hope you will travel to other parts of Thailand in the future. There is still much more to be discovered in Thailand; variety of regional foods. The north eastern part, also known as "Isaan" where my mother is from, is well known for its spicy, zesty food such as papaya salads.
I totally agree, the north-eastern- thai cuisine is totally worth a try and completely different than the "commonly known" thai foods.
In the beginning it might be a bit strange to taste a few more bitter aroma there, compared to the other thai foods, but it's absolutely delicious. They got some bamboo and mushrom dishes to die for 🤤
So glad to know that you like Thai food. There is a food court (Magic Food Court) in Suvarnabhumi Airport in the 1st Floor, near Public Taxi parking point. There are many kinds of Thai food in that food court, the taste is good and not expensive.
I love it to see Uyen THAT happy. It is so wholesome.😊
right 😭 seeing her with that air of satisfaction and bliss when she was in the airport enjoying her milk tea put a big smile on my face
Oh, my favourite and "farewell"-food from Thailand is also fried chicken with cashew nuts. Haven't been to Bangkok in five years now, and your video made me long to go back so much.
You're making me crave foods I've never even tried before!
Tears flowed and I was grateful for my life where I could eat delicious Thai food every day. Because even you haven't tried it yet. It is like a treasure trove of priceless treasures. I pity every person in the world who will not be able to taste those things. I am so grateful for this life.
🤤🤤🤤OMG i was salavating when you were eating the coconut icecream & coconut juice. So jealous😂. Stay safe on your travels. So happy for you 😊.
6:02 it's also one of the dish Thai woman love the most as well, their can eat it every single day just like Som Tam 😂 not just because it taste bloody delicious but also very low calories and almost 0 bad fat, it's tastiest diet dish in Thailand.
Girl your editing and B-role footage is top notch!
Love it
I’m Thai and I’m happy you love our food. Please come to Thailand again if you have a chance and time.❤
Coconut ice cream!! ❤ wonderful video, thank you!
I agree, Thailand has the best food and especially the best coconut ice cream. I love everything there. And surely the best is sticky rice with mango.
I couldn't stop laughing when Uyen described how she used to fly to Thailand, get a hotel room and then just eat octopus every day lol
It is just so Uyen!
Thailand Number one
Can totally relate to that 😂
The sea food there is on another level 🤤
You're the first vlogger whom I can relate because I be looking messy as you when I'm on trip not all perfect 24/7 like other vloggers 😂
I used to have this favorite little Thai restaurant I adored. Sadly, they had to close down during the lockdown and couldn't reopen. I think about it every week because I miss their food terribly. That place was my go-to whenever I needed a pick-me-up or a reason to celebrate. Their dishes were incredibly delicious and truly authentic. Now, I'm on this slow journey of learning how to make Thai food myself. It's tough, I won't lie, but I love it. There's something amazing about experimenting with new ingredients. Still, I can't help but miss that restaurant. Your video brought me so much joy. I totally get your passion for Thai cuisine!
I have enjoyed seeing your travel videos so much. Thanks for sharing this with us viewers!
There's a secret ingredient for glass noodle salad which is the pickle garlic juice. It adds umami flavor and puts everything together.
My thai wife and I only made it 4 month back in Germany and decided that Bangkok is just to great so we moved back. I do love my german food sometimes but Thai food hit different.
Being born as a Thai is considered the luckiest person in the world because there is only delicious food in this world. I am willing to die and die in Thailand for just one life.
It's better than being born in hundreds of lives in other countries.
I've been followed you for long time but mostly from your TH-cam Shorts, so when this one popped up and it shows how much you enjoyed the food from my country, this is amazing. Thank you so much and I hope you enjoyed your time in Thailand!!
You don't know how proud I'm to here that you like our food since your Vietnamese food are awsome for me. Love to see you enjoy your time here and wish to have a chance to meet you once you travel again as your fan.
Thank you for your kind words about our country. I’m your Thai fan ❤
Thailand has one of the world's best cuisines. Can't wait for my first vacation there!
As your Thai follower, I’m glad you like Thailand. And lemme tell you, as a Thai person, I can’t handle Thai food’s spiciness either🤣 I recommended ppl visiting us in either Summer or winter, bc rn it’s raining everyday, and Bangkok is always flooding when rainy season comes.
Thank you 😊 I really love your videos
Uyen definitely has some of the best content on TH-cam
Yaaay you look so radiant and beautiful in this vlog 🫶🏼✨
This taught me about so many amazing foods! Thank you
I love your long form videos. Keep it coming!!!
Uyen getting multiple massages in the same market trip is ICONIC 😂😂😂
But Thai massage - specially from "Wat Po" students - are really good and very cheap in Thailand. In Europe do you pay many money for the same massage.
I feel you about the grilled octopus and the spicy sauce! i love it so much too! and their traditional fried battered bananas OMG 🤤
I love your videos. They are funny and entertaining and wholesome. I struggle with health issues and they make me feel better. Thank you, Uyen.
1:13 Nam jim sea food is the best sauce ever. I cant live without it ngl.
More food vlogs 😍
As a home chef myself in Thailand, I really like Thai food. Some of them are hard to prepare due to the complexity of the ingredients, but some are just easy and tasty. In Thailand, there are thousands kinds of foods from the north, the south, the central, and the northeast. Personally, I like Kaosoi, Sai-our, Kanom giin Nam ngiv from the north; Kourkling and Kaw Yam from the south; red curry, green curry, Tom Yum, Tom Kar chicken, Masaman, Krapraw beef with rice from the central part of Thailand; larb, Papaya salad, grilled chicken from the northeast. I suggest you come to Thailand and learn Thai cooking dishes to make it right from the start. One day course is possible for 5 dishes. I also have studied at a culinary school for a year but I cannot make the whole thing.
We are enjoying so much your videos !!! Keep going !!!
Ohhh... Such high praises from a fellow SEA. We happily accept them. 🙏 🙏 🙏
I have noticed the glass noodle salad in your shorts before. 😂 Yum anything is the best.
I made Tom Yum soup just yesterday- I love a good Thai soup on a hot day as well as cold ones owo*
I'm sure you'll get a hang of cooking thai food; I personally find it easier to make than vietname food (but they're both my absolute favourites 😊😊)
Omg if you love thai soup and fish next time you are in thailand you have to try Gaeng-Som!! It is more sour than tom yam and usually made with fish and coconut shoots which is crunchy and creamy and compliments the sour-spicy soup very well. The soup has a lot of turmeric and a sour vitamin c-rich herb (dont know english name) so its very good for your health as well!
มะขาม = tamarind= asam jawa?
Thank you, Uyen, for your love for all things Thai. I’m a Thai expat living in the US. Love your personality, very happy, super positive. Wishing you all the vey best in life😀
omg I love your travel vlog uyen 😭 please do more
I agree. Thai food is tasty lol have fun!
I LIVE for spice. Tomyam is my favourite, sometimes more than my local food (I’m Malaysian), there is some very nice Thai restaurants here, set up by Thai people , but I haven’t actually been in Thailand to taste Thai food locally, time for a food trip!!
Being born as a Thai is considered the luckiest person in the world because there is only delicious food in this world. I am willing to die and die in Thailand for just one life.
It's better than being born in hundreds of lives in other countries.
Thank you for sharing your vacation with us! Looks so fun, I want to go there too now.
Thanks for visited us! I have been enjoying your clips recently, SEA culture is so relatable lol and I also have a Vietnamese friend who also likes Thai food!
But seriously tho, Thai food is really the flavor bomb! When ppl get sick, they eat porridge and soup. I eat Thai food when im sick. Spicy ones and I would immediately feel better.
You should go to the north of thailand if you havent already. Personally my favorite thai food is there and most westerners don't know about it. Mashed eggplant salad, northern thai laab, nam prik noom, sticky rice of course, grilled pork, this tamarind leaf fish soup... 😅😅 omg I miss it
THE MASHED EGGPLANT SPICY SALAD. I'm a Central Thai but it's my favorite chilli paste type dish ever. Another one I like equally would be the tomato chili paste with ground pork in it, another Northern chilli paste. Love them so much!
edit: oh I thought you mean nam prik noom. but the usual mashed salad is also good. Too bad it's not too easy to find in where I live.
I’m so glad you have had great experience here!
I love when Uyen posts a long form video❤
hi uyen... yesterday night, I had a dream that I had gone to Germany and I met u at a store while you were purchasing rice... I asked if German bf was around as well to see how he looks actually... I could not wait until morning to tell my husband about my dream so I just woke him up at midnight .. lots of love all the way from nepal... ❤
@manisa6798 that is such a cute story. Thanks for sharing 🤭👍💕
I never liked tomyum soup but my whole family loves it. It's pretty popular here in Indonesia as well, and this just shows how good it is
What a fun video! Enjoyed it 💕
I'm an eastern european and thai octopus was my favorite thing there, too. The big octopus seller in Chinatown night market literally stole my soul. I still think of that place. Unbelievably good. The spicy sauce is everything although it can be challenging lmao
Sounds delicious 😋 (sorry @crackn a I ethically just can't even type your name tag. But great story and thanks for sharing 😁👍
Thank you for sharing! I love Thai food 🍲
I love Thai food too. I was lucky enough to have authentic Thai food made by a friend of mine. The best Thai dish I have had is a clear shrimp soup with vegetables that is spiced with tiny HOT chilis. I recommend it and I am not that into extremely spicy food. It took me a long time to finish it. :) The Thai people are very friendly. The Mongols settled in Thailand.
Uyen, you should try Italian octopus salad. It is not spicy but it is very fresh with big chunks of octopus. Your fiance could eat it with no problem. Italian bread and pastries are better than what the French make. I grew up in the Port of Los Angeles, California with Yugoslavian, Hispanic, and Italian bakeries and restaurants. We even had a Scandinavian grocery store!
I have always thinking of moving abroad if i ever had an opportunity but the only thing in Thailand that strongly held me back is food culture 🤣 i don’t even enjoy eating spicy food but i don’t think there is anywhere in the world that you can find a proper meal at a restaurant 24/7 like bangkok can do. Shabu at 1 am really hit different.😂😂
Really enjoy this food content. Keep it coming!
This is the essence of traveling for me. Sure its fun to explore but to know where to go and just 110% indulge in what makes your happy, foodwise and otherwise, is why I love traveling! Well done!
I love Thai food sooooo much as well. Me as a Taiwanese who prefer strong seasoning food really are soooo amazed by their food during my visit last month!!! I just wanna gooo again asap :))
