Why should anybody judge them? They are just trying to eat and survive. Consider yourselves fortunate, that you barely have to put effort into wiping your own ass, let alone construct a dinner from nothing but your environment from the ground up.
This is true, people who lived in village dont usually eat meat, even if they have like a buffalo or a cow its either used on traditional event, or for selling
@@windblow1141 they usually buy it from the market. Buffalo skin is the cheapest. The meat is often eaten by more wealthy person. But that says a lot about their financial status. She doesn't even have enough to buy skin to eat.
I died laughing when Andrew's words came back to haunt him. Big props to him for actually going through with eating the live fish, and Sonny too! I love this channel.
Swallowing goldfish alive was a FAD in America at one time, I think it was around 1939 or so. A college fad probably, where daring someone to do something foolish or dangerous wasn't unknown! Still isn't! Every year it seems, somewhere some student dies due to a college hazing for a fraternity, by a bunch of Delta Sierras! (Meaning dumb s*its!)
We used to give this hobo a live fish to eat and a quarter when we would ride our bikes fishing as a kid. Guy would eat huge carp catfish. Toads. Anything. Bottles of piss
This gave me such a reality check. These people are so resourceful and also so healthy. This is nothing like the food we get in the western world. Aside for the live fish, I’m all for eating this way. Everything is local and fresh.
@@joeschmoe3815 stop spreading misinformation, just search it up it is mostly on Indonesia with only 15.000 people have them while Indonesia has 213 million people so it is rare
This is Black Tai (Tai Dam), not to be confused with Thai (Siamese) in Thailand though our languages are closely related as parts of Southwestern Tai languages of Kra-Dai (Tai-Kadai) family, also including Lao, Shan, Dai Lü, etc. The autonyms "Thai, Tai, Dai" are from the same root. According to various Thai/Lao folk legends, in correspondance to linguistic evidences, Southwestern Tai peoples have their homeland in northern Vietnam, especially Dien Bien province (Muong Then), after splitting from Northern Tai peoples (Zhuang in Guangxi for example), then spread southwestward over Southeast Asia (Laos, Thailand, Yunnan of China, Shan state of Myanmar) and eastern India (Assam)
I love these episodes where you visit small villages and cultures most of us here in the states are not familiar with. They are so interesting to learn about how other people live. Top tier content.
As a Native American, their was certain things that overlapped with our culture. For them to eat that fish I said 👏🏾, they proved themselves to them. Very, interesting and hope to one day visit Vietnam.
@MissMai Perfect Thai in this video refers to the Thai ethnic ,not the people in Thailand ,we Vietnamese have 52 different ethnics and some speaks their own version of Vietnamese
@@mihah9415 She literally said she speaks Thai (probably one of the Tai languages spoken in the area, different from standard Thai in Thailand), Hmong, and Vietnamese. These three languages are from different language families so it's more like speaking Arabic, Turkish, and Persian, not at all like speaking different versions of the same language
I’m a Thai. I can speak English and Chinese, and Vietnamese of course. So respect for you two in the live fish challenge, I've never done that before. Grilled fish and sticky rice in the bamboo are delicious, but we have so much more delicious than that, you should try “thịt trâu sấy” which is very famous all over Vietnam.
I love the fact that they’re taking the time to embrace the culture and language of our Hmong people. Not a lot do we get recognize for our unfamiliar traditional food and culture. I am very proud to be Hmong American. And I can still say I speak my language. 100!!!
Those fresh water fishes will give you bile duct cancer if they're not properly cooked. This is because some have parasitic worms in them. A lot of Asian people have it because they eat raw fresh water fishes and even the fermented fish is raw. Being Asian and growing up extremely poor, I used to eat foods like this but not anymore. The bamboo sticky rice is one of my favorites. Very hard to open but, once you figure it out, it's very easy. Just use a knife and crack it from the bottom and it'll split in half completely. The fermented fish is also very good as I liked the sourness of it. I cook mine though. I like them as fish jerkies. The raw live fish eating, I've seen it once. A guy just bit the head off and just started chewing away as if it as nothing.
People living in the Vietnam mountains eat raw small fishes because in the mountains fishes are very rare and appreciated, they eat fish only few times a year.
It's small just bcz it's the size of that fish not bcz fishes are rare. In VN we all have so many fish to ate no matter where and no matter size, and fishes in VN is one cheap nurture but we seem to prefer the small size fish than big size bcz people believe that they are fed by organic food like grass, plants, etc not industrial food. We even have a specialty fish call "Cá rô đồng" and it's so small like what we saw in this video.
I found precious the expression of the older lady after they ate the raw fish, she seemed happy that they were so interested in their culture, it was a great video!
I am so sad, why people does'nt encourage these type of village episodes, these are so awesome and so heart touching and yet very less views. Please dude dont stop making these, you are awesome, co-hosts are awesome and village people are always awesome.

@@janjirawilliams4764 ok umm im sorry for the ranging hope u understand 😁peace kinda offended tho that u think people shold stop living with sugar and rainbows shit like what can we do to fix anything nothinggg i see and thats just very depressing and im trying to get better ok u dont fucking know great ummm sorry again just block lol idk ughhhhh 😫
Sonny, Andrew, I am so jealous of your ability to submerse yourself in these cultures and eat the foods they eat on a regular, and as in this video, not so regular basis. I would love to do what you do. Thank you for sharing this with us ❤
We went for a 21 day cross country across vietnam in 2020 Feb, before the pandemic.. 10 days north, 6 days central, 5 days south.. I loved North and central and i would visit again for another 3 weeks tour to just spread it over north and central vietnam.
The scenery is Beautiful! Looks peaceful and I am sure there is no crime. Don't think I could eat love fish but the cooked fish looked yummy. Thank you for sharing your journey. Very interesting the different cultures. God Bless you all watching.
I almost fell over from laughing when Sonny said "the fat one". Not sure if Thai ppl think exactly the same as Kinh VNese but this reminded me of some memories while I was studying in the Phillipines. We had a Canadian guy and 1 South African guy there. And they did not know at first that since all the Vietnamese guys were so skinny and "being fat" was all they were longing for. So as a result they all run towards these 2 white guys, touched their tummies and said happily "oh you are so fat you are so fat." They had no idea they tortured the 2 poor guys for a month until they found out the truth. They cudnt understand why these very friendly ppl cud be so rude. In case some of you dont know.. Thai ethnic in Vietnam are Vietnamese citizens.. but they share the same roots with the Thai ppl in Thailand.. with same language and traditional costumes... They identify themselves as Black Thai and White Thai and are among 54 ethnics living together within Vietnam's border. They are the closest genetically to the Kinh Vietnamese (may be 1 of the Bai Yue descendants)
Hahaha omg in vietnam, we regard people who we perceive as “fat” to be very well privileged and in essence “wealthy” since in most of our history and how recently war torn we are, most lived in poverty with almost nothing to eat and only those who had enough or more than enough to eat were wealthy enough to afford it.
You guys are so brave to enjoy those. Anyway, it's a fantastic way to experience the unique local things. And Mu, the local guide is also my friend. Great job! Cheers!
Similar to anchovies but tastier. When cooked it is tasty. You will not stop eating it if you prepare it right. It has no bad smell or taste if you knows how to cook it. If you do not do the process of fermenting the Fish, it will be deadly to consume it. It takes great skill to make it right.
The videography of this series, the editing, the hosts, the research behind these series are amazing. 🙌🙌🙌 I mean I dont have enough words to express how much Fascinated we are ❤️😍😍
I think it's not only about how much we like the food but it's about respecting other cultures and exploring to new experiences.. Which is why i love this channel❤️❤️❤️❤️
This was by far the best episode I have seen. Your interaction with Andrew and both of your expressions whilst eating had me choking on my Beer from laughter. Now my keyboard and screen had to be wiped down before I could continue. Please if you are going to go for any creepy crawlies or similar exotic culinary excursions, take Andrew with you. On a side note, maybe its a good thing that they dont eat the bugs and reptiles in Australia when you consider that it is only the most dangerous continent to live on. However apparently once you throw a Tarantula in boiling water the venom seems to lose its bite. Just not sure if that works with all venoms out there. Keep up the series, very entertaining to watch, especially anything like this episode.
15:14 He literally sounds like those big dopey-looking gannets or Pelican when they gulp down their live load. Literally drop him right into a seashore video with Sir David Attenborough narrating - *chef's kiss.*
The construction of these homes built by the Tribes and their people are truly some of the most beautiful that I have ever seen!! The wood and attention to detail in the homes is amazing!!
Wouldn't it be hilarious if after the two gringos left the village, the hosts pull out their hamburger patties and hot dogs, grill them for dinner and have themselves a belly full of laughs? You'd been punked, Sonny & Andrew! 😂
I am currently learning Swahili because I want to visit Kenya tantania one day. I’m in love with the culture and food, the lifestyle is so simple and hardworking and it’s beautiful. Vietnam looks like another awesome place to visit and learn about
I'm not very familar with the traditional vietnamese ethnic groups but its realllyy surprising to see the resemblence of their culture to the ethnic groups here in borneo. From the method of cooking to the traditional garment, their economy and lifestyle. Its reaaallly reaaaallly interesting honestly. I would lovee to go there just to make comparisons cause I see a some similarities but there's bound to be a lot more differences as well.
I think it's convergence as a result of the methods of survival. Like, if you cook with a stove, the recipes you make will converge on certain styles of cooking. So there's things we find a lot in the kitchens of people in cities, that we would almost never find in the kitchens of people out in the wild. Similarly, there's lots of similarities between the kitchens (or just firepits, if they do all the cooking outside) of people who just use plain old fire to cook, because they're bound to use similar tools most of the time. They're mostly limited to what you find outside, and what you find outside is generally pretty similar.
Hats off to Sonny and Andrew for eating live fish... And that fermented nasty fish as well... You guys put so much of dedication and hard work into your channel. No wonder your channel is called " Best ever food review show" My fav channel...
I’m Hmong green from clan Her. Folks came to the states after American pulled out from the secret war in Laos. Thanks for sharing cultures and educating everyone from around the world. No one does it like you and your team!!!!♥️♥️♥️❤️💕💙
I lived on a ship in Japan for two years, ate alot of Sushi and never developed a taste for raw seafood. Developed a taste for Nigori Sake though;)-John in Texas
Until you did this video I had no idea the thai people existed! You might not know but what you do realy helps getting their culture out there in a time where groups like these are dissapearing fast. Thank you for your hard work Sonny and the Best Ever Food Review Show Team :)
I don't think that the video has been titled correctly. The culture shown is not "Thai" as in the culture of Thailand, but rather Tai people (also pronounced Dai). Due to war this ancient culture migrated from Southern China, settling throughout Southeast Asia over the last few millennia, and has formed dozens of branches of the Tai culture which can be found in (Vietnam, Thailand, China, India, Burma, Laos etc. The lovely people in this video I would guess are of the Hàng Tổng (Tày Mường) classification of Tai people. Mường - H'mong; its all probably kosher idk
@@guy8646 interesting. Will have to look more into them. I'm hmong and understood some words. Lol like when that lady called him fat. Pahm pahm (spelled npag npag)in hmong translate to fat.
I could never eat any of the stuff these guys do but it's so interesting to see all the different ways of life around the world. Both Andrew and Sonny make some really cool videos.
18:34 I spot a fish, which we called "Betok" here in Indonesia. I'm surprised they eat that fish raw, that fish have many spikes on it's dorsal fin and it's gills. I heard a story a boy died because he choked on that fish because he tried to kill that fish by biting it (ik it's stupid, but still)
Eating the bones is a really bad idea even if you don't choke. If a bone gets caught in your intestines it will cause polyps and you will die without surgery.
16:58 Watch that dude on the right looking at him like: "Shit, is this guy really gonna do it?" *takes a bite* guy looks like: "LMAO this idiot really did it" *continues to smirk*
@@Snow-el7yp right, my moms Asian and says things but it really means another in her culture lol. She said fat but in American translation she probably meant he’s bigger and got more meat so he’d probably do a better job at catching more fish.
Most Vietnamese are still very poor until around 20 years ago. While people rarely starved, eating nutrious food regularly was a luxury back then so being "fat" was considered a sign of prosperity and good health/strength. That's still embed in the mind of many Vietnamese people.
This segment of all your shows is the most interesting to me, the good thing about your videos is that they are no just about food and cooking, but also the people, the history and landscapes of the places, this is why your Videos and Mark quin Videos are my best most relaxing to watch, This one is also very funny " loved when you let the fish jump off your hand, those fish are from the Cichlid fish family" Good job amigo.
@@babagandu I have never heard of a game like that. I know that I’ve participated in a game where all we had on our table was boiled pig fat. It was my cousin’s wedding and I was the “green lady” who represented the guy’s side. Had to play this game with some old men lol. It was pretty interesting. I either had to drink or sing a Hmong folklore song to keep away from eating the pig fat. Lol.
The ethnic in this episode is not H'mong. They're Thai ethnic. There are 54 ethnic groups in Vietnam. Amazingly they all have their own languages and cultures.
Although I can't understand all of your words because my English is a bit limited. But I want to say that Vietnamese people are very friendly, and always welcome people from all over the world. Thank you for coming to learn and bring Vietnamese culture everywhere. thank.!!!!
I only started to watching your journey's with food around the world. Its so entertaining. The bugs are for sure the best part to watch when you need to loose some weight. My stomach was definitely turning badly. Definitely an A+ entertainment program😂😂😂😮😮😮
Never seen here in philippines a kind of food like that, but its a healthy food, a fresh fish , fresh vegie everything is great there in vietnam, god bless and good day.
In the west, we live a comfortable existance. We are soft and weak. A 50 year okd woman can out work and out hike me anyday bc they are alot stronger wnd healthier than me.
It's pretty common in Asia to be called fat as a compliment of sorts (especially by family and mother figures), I assume Sonny's lived there long enough that he's gotten used to it by now. Plus everybody on youtube is always super encouraging about his weight loss, BEFR is a pretty wholesome community
@@ajsparx4133 Im hip I'm living in bangladesh right now. But just Cuz its common that aunties are more critical of physique than bodybuilding coaches doesn't mean it's not soul crushing esp Cuz ik what it's like to be a past obese person
dude im 180kg and had to live in vietnam for a year or so, and man, i get random PHYSICAL belly rubs from random people on streets, restaurants, shops, you name it. at first i am offended, i still dont like it, but they will never do it in contempt, they do it with the brightest smile in their face and just pure AWE that they really think this guy must be extremely blessed by buddah to be as big as buddah himself.
I weigh 155 pounds and many Asian parents still call me fat. It's because I'm not super fit. I'm not fat but, if you saw me next to some of the other Asians, who's usually 120 - 135 pounds, I'm fat. Also, in most Asian countries, it's a complement to be called fat as that means you have money and can eat while they're out in the fields working hard all day just to try to get something to eat.
Here in Phil. We call that big fish as *isdang (FISH) TILAPIA( or when it was cook that way *INALOB NA TILAPIA, and that red vegetable was could here in our province of Albay as *PUSO NG SAGING (heart of banana). Also that green "vegetables that they get in the river was also could here in our province as *LUMOT , but we don't eat that thing

We went for a 21 day cross country across vietnam in 2020 Feb, before the pandemic.. 10 days north, 6 days central, 5 days south.. I loved North and central and i would visit again for another 3 weeks tour to just spread it over north and central vietnam.
@@phoneix24886 thanks
make sure you form a group of tourists and don't go alone.
@@meofomi why do you say that? We were a group of 3.. north Vietnamese are really good people and very welcoming.
The scenery is Beautiful! Looks peaceful and I am sure there is no crime. Don't think I could eat love fish but the cooked fish looked yummy. Thank you for sharing your journey. Very interesting the different cultures. God Bless you all watching.
To everyone who is seeing this comment. Have the best day ever. And Sonny ur videos are the besttt..Love from Trinidad and Tobago
🇹🇹❤
thank you!

I almost fell over from laughing when Sonny said "the fat one". Not sure if Thai ppl think exactly the same as Kinh VNese but this reminded me of some memories while I was studying in the Phillipines. We had a Canadian guy and 1 South African guy there. And they did not know at first that since all the Vietnamese guys were so skinny and "being fat" was all they were longing for. So as a result they all run towards these 2 white guys, touched their tummies and said happily "oh you are so fat you are so fat." They had no idea they tortured the 2 poor guys for a month until they found out the truth. They cudnt understand why these very friendly ppl cud be so rude.
In case some of you dont know.. Thai ethnic in Vietnam are Vietnamese citizens.. but they share the same roots with the Thai ppl in Thailand.. with same language and traditional costumes... They identify themselves as Black Thai and White Thai and are among 54 ethnics living together within Vietnam's border. They are the closest genetically to the Kinh Vietnamese (may be 1 of the Bai Yue descendants)
Hahaha omg in vietnam, we regard people who we perceive as “fat” to be very well privileged and in essence “wealthy” since in most of our history and how recently war torn we are, most lived in poverty with almost nothing to eat and only those who had enough or more than enough to eat were wealthy enough to afford it.
ok
So what you're saying is I should take a trip to Vietnam.
They use the word fat openly to there friends and family it's not really a ride word here
Tai not Thai

Which one's tho
15:21 the way he said "Ngon hong" made me laugh :> má cười ẻ, sao ổng dễ thương dị hahahha
Imagine Sonny, Calvin, and Andrew in one episode. I'm not sure youtube is ready for that
My dream is to have bear grylls with sonny in at least one episode. That would be epic
Can we petition for this to happen?????
They both is all of TH-cam
That would be awesome
Also Rafsan the chotobhai from Bangladesh
I haven't seen a show this great since Anthony bourdian. Definitely its own but so much knowledge and respect.
The moment he got overexcited after catching fish and it just slipped off his hands🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. LoL his face 😑😂
Staged
Thai boy be like: wow haha
It really hurts when you slip he fish that you got after hard try🛌
the boy was like : wah
This brings the sushi date to a whole new level! Great video
You guys are so brave to enjoy those. Anyway, it's a fantastic way to experience the unique local things. And Mu, the local guide is also my friend. Great job! Cheers!

that decomposed fish was called by romans "garum", was part of the ancient roman cuisine
My inner Roman is happy. Now i can legally speak Latin whilst inhaling a fish.
I've often wondered what is the relationship between garum and nam pla, as well as which way round the noodle exchange was between Rome and Asia
Similar to anchovies but tastier. When cooked it is tasty. You will not stop eating it if you prepare it right. It has no bad smell or taste if you knows how to cook it. If you do not do the process of fermenting the Fish, it will be deadly to consume it. It takes great skill to make it right.
huh…how can they have similar foods when they are in two different continents? Is there any anthropologist around?????
@@christypham3386 Anchovies used fermented method to preserved the Fish. Perhaps the Roman got the idea from the East.
OMG I am in love with this show! Never say no and always respectful to everything
The videography of this series, the editing, the hosts, the research behind these series are amazing. 🙌🙌🙌 I mean I dont have enough words to express how much Fascinated we are ❤️😍😍
The overall quality is beyond impressive.
I think it's not only about how much we like the food but it's about respecting other cultures and exploring to new experiences.. Which is why i love this channel❤️❤️❤️❤️
This was by far the best episode I have seen. Your interaction with Andrew and both of your expressions whilst eating had me choking on my Beer from laughter. Now my keyboard and screen had to be wiped down before I could continue. Please if you are going to go for any creepy crawlies or similar exotic culinary excursions, take Andrew with you. On a side note, maybe its a good thing that they dont eat the bugs and reptiles in Australia when you consider that it is only the most dangerous continent to live on. However apparently once you throw a Tarantula in boiling water the venom seems to lose its bite. Just not sure if that works with all venoms out there. Keep up the series, very entertaining to watch, especially anything like this episode.
15:14 He literally sounds like those big dopey-looking gannets or Pelican when they gulp down their live load. Literally drop him right into a seashore video with Sir David Attenborough narrating - *chef's kiss.*
The construction of these homes built by the Tribes and their people are truly some of the most beautiful that I have ever seen!!
The wood and attention to detail in the homes is amazing!!
Wouldn't it be hilarious if after the two gringos left the village, the hosts pull out their hamburger patties and hot dogs, grill them for dinner and have themselves a belly full of laughs? You'd been punked, Sonny & Andrew! 😂
😂😂😂😂
This must've happened at least once lol
@@abilawaandamari8366 No doubt. Indigenous people know how to have fun at the expense of whities, too, you know. Lol
They be having the buffalo steak prime cut while Sonny and Andrew had a fermented skin . Haha.
That living fish dish is TH-camrs' meal. They only pick the weirdest thing to gain views and subs.
Omg my mouth literally dropped when they said you they’re not cooking the fish 😂🤦🏻♂️ love this food review show
😂
I love the comedy, the food review, the journey. 👍
I like this Andrew guy. Always willing to try everything with no fear and no agenda. Awesome.
His reactions with sonny are just golden
Sonny's face when he says "don't be so rude" LOL 😂😂
the best in recent times. I felt so happy - humbled - informed - made aware in a single episode. It was a total entertainment package
I am currently learning Swahili because I want to visit Kenya tantania one day. I’m in love with the culture and food, the lifestyle is so simple and hardworking and it’s beautiful. Vietnam looks like another awesome place to visit and learn about
When you visit kenya holla me. I will take you around.
@@spotybwoyworld7825 bet!
I'm not very familar with the traditional vietnamese ethnic groups but its realllyy surprising to see the resemblence of their culture to the ethnic groups here in borneo. From the method of cooking to the traditional garment, their economy and lifestyle. Its reaaallly reaaaallly interesting honestly. I would lovee to go there just to make comparisons cause I see a some similarities but there's bound to be a lot more differences as well.
th-cam.com/video/skd9qU4TriI/w-d-xo.html
I think it's convergence as a result of the methods of survival. Like, if you cook with a stove, the recipes you make will converge on certain styles of cooking. So there's things we find a lot in the kitchens of people in cities, that we would almost never find in the kitchens of people out in the wild. Similarly, there's lots of similarities between the kitchens (or just firepits, if they do all the cooking outside) of people who just use plain old fire to cook, because they're bound to use similar tools most of the time. They're mostly limited to what you find outside, and what you find outside is generally pretty similar.
16:15 “Andrew don’t be rude” I love him
He said “try to swallow it like a little bit”😭😭😭
This is why we love Sonny. So funny yet so human.
Ui biểu cảm của các a tây buồn cười đáng yêu quá 😂😂! Cảm ơn 2 ảnh đã mang hình ảnh của Việt Nam đi khắp thế giới❤️❤️

So handsome that guy 😉👍

I am Vietnamese, thank you for introducing the country and people of Vietnam to international friends. thanks!
They are just a part , ( minority group) cannot represent as "people of Vietnam "
Whats to be scared of we all south east asians we have alot of similarities
I cannot stop laughing at Sunny's face when he takes the first bite of the live fish salad! 😂😂 I love this show!
Enjoy the river fluke and bile duct cancer
Hats off to Sonny and Andrew for eating live fish... And that fermented nasty fish as well... You guys put so much of dedication and hard work into your channel. No wonder your channel is called " Best ever food review show" My fav channel...
I’m Hmong green from clan Her. Folks came to the states after American pulled out from the secret war in Laos. Thanks for sharing cultures and educating everyone from around the world. No one does it like you and your team!!!!♥️♥️♥️❤️💕💙
I lived on a ship in Japan for two years, ate alot of Sushi and never developed a taste for raw seafood. Developed a taste for Nigori Sake though;)-John in Texas
Until you did this video I had no idea the thai people existed! You might not know but what you do realy helps getting their culture out there in a time where groups like these are dissapearing fast. Thank you for your hard work Sonny and the Best Ever Food Review Show Team :)
Technically they're hmong.
@@kingovue No; the people in this video are Thai, which is different from the Hmong. Only the guide is Hmong.
I don't think that the video has been titled correctly. The culture shown is not "Thai" as in the culture of Thailand, but rather Tai people (also pronounced Dai). Due to war this ancient culture migrated from Southern China, settling throughout Southeast Asia over the last few millennia, and has formed dozens of branches of the Tai culture which can be found in (Vietnam, Thailand, China, India, Burma, Laos etc. The lovely people in this video I would guess are of the Hàng Tổng (Tày Mường) classification of Tai people. Mường - H'mong; its all probably kosher idk
@@guy8646 interesting. Will have to look more into them. I'm hmong and understood some words. Lol like when that lady called him fat. Pahm pahm (spelled npag npag)in hmong translate to fat.
The Thai people in Vietnam is not "Thai" in Thailand. So don't be confused.
I have never laughed this hard watching Sonny. That live fish was crazy.
Easily the best food show out right now. Who else started watching this guy in the first lockdown last year🙌🏽
“Andrew, don’t be rude” 😂😂
HAHAHAHHA THEFUNNIEST SCENE WAS WHEN SONNY LOST THE FISH AND AWKWARDLY STARRD AT THE GUY AND THE GUY MADE A WEIRD BUT FUNNY NOISE HAHAHAHA
Their guide is so funny and she looks serious too 😂😅
8:52 I died when the guy was just like “wa!”
I could never eat any of the stuff these guys do but it's so interesting to see all the different ways of life around the world. Both Andrew and Sonny make some really cool videos.
18:34 I spot a fish, which we called "Betok" here in Indonesia. I'm surprised they eat that fish raw, that fish have many spikes on it's dorsal fin and it's gills. I heard a story a boy died because he choked on that fish because he tried to kill that fish by biting it (ik it's stupid, but still)
Eating the bones is a really bad idea even if you don't choke. If a bone gets caught in your intestines it will cause polyps and you will die without surgery.
yang sticky rice nya mirip kek lontong gak sih?
Bukan betok itu bro.. betok lebih lebar
@@palabpkau menurut gw lebih mirip kayak Lemang (makanan tebing tinggi)
That's why they have the word " dangerous " on the title bro 😅
16:58 Watch that dude on the right looking at him like: "Shit, is this guy really gonna do it?" *takes a bite* guy looks like: "LMAO this idiot really did it" *continues to smirk*
Ikr, I was looking at his face the whole time xD😂
That was the best part him trying not to laugh at them was hilarious

Why is that “fatty fatty” comment so funny 🤣 I feel like Sonny isn’t fat at all that’s why it’s more funny .lol
He has more muscle than the other guy
Sonny was fat af back then. He was a chubby man.
dude. In Vietnam, fat means not thin. In others, country fat is like you can eat a whole scooter and still feel hungry.
@@Snow-el7yp right, my moms Asian and says things but it really means another in her culture lol. She said fat but in American translation she probably meant he’s bigger and got more meat so he’d probably do a better job at catching more fish.
Most Vietnamese are still very poor until around 20 years ago. While people rarely starved, eating nutrious food regularly was a luxury back then so being "fat" was considered a sign of prosperity and good health/strength. That's still embed in the mind of many Vietnamese people.
This segment of all your shows is the most interesting to me, the good thing about your videos is that they are no just about food and cooking, but also the people, the history and landscapes of the places, this is why your Videos and Mark quin Videos are my best most relaxing to watch, This one is also very funny " loved when you let the fish jump off your hand, those fish are from the Cichlid fish family" Good job amigo.
Andrew is like the perfect partner for these videos, I'm enjoying these 2 together so much ♥️ amazing series
I don't need netflix, just Best Ever Food Review Show is enough
That’s soo cute she called Sonny “pang, pang” in the Hmong green dialect. It means chubby if any. I love it! LOL
Let's marry
Is the raw fish eating real or just a challenge ?
@@babagandu I have never heard of a game like that. I know that I’ve participated in a game where all we had on our table was boiled pig fat. It was my cousin’s wedding and I was the “green lady” who represented the guy’s side. Had to play this game with some old men lol. It was pretty interesting. I either had to drink or sing a Hmong folklore song to keep away from eating the pig fat. Lol.
The ethnic in this episode is not H'mong. They're Thai ethnic. There are 54 ethnic groups in Vietnam. Amazingly they all have their own languages and cultures.
mandarin is the same！
15:10 THE TRANSLATOR ❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I couldn’t stop laughing when he smelled the sour fish he looked like his soul left his body 😂
😂😂 me too!!!
The girl even said "hes gone" hahaha
Woman : "She said she trusts you to get fish because you look very fat. "
* *laughing* *
Him : * *rethinking life* *
lmaoo
LMAOOOOOO
That trust is broken since 8:50
hahahah
Being called fat is actually a compliment in these cultures. Almost saying your healthy.
Andrew- ‘I got smashed by a 50yr old woman’ , pretty sure it’s the first time he’s said that 😂
Although I can't understand all of your words because my English is a bit limited. But I want to say that Vietnamese people are very friendly, and always welcome people from all over the world.
Thank you for coming to learn and bring Vietnamese culture everywhere.
thank.!!!!
OMG I was dying of laughter when Sonny was eating the live fish his face Expression 😂😂😂
This show always has me learning and laughing, what's not to love lol. Plus, Sonny is freaking hilarious😂
This young girl is beautiful. How do you think.
How respectful these guys are to these lovely humble people welcoming them to their culture

I only started to watching your journey's with food around the world. Its so entertaining. The bugs are for sure the best part to watch when you need to loose some weight. My stomach was definitely turning badly. Definitely an A+ entertainment program😂😂😂😮😮😮
Never seen here in philippines a kind of food like that, but its a healthy food, a fresh fish , fresh vegie everything is great there in vietnam, god bless and good day.
Because we just want oilly and fatty food
Yeah, not fresh fish but a tree worm. I saw it in some vlog a long time ago. If I'm not mistaken its called Tamilok.
“I’m getting smashed by a 50 year old woman” had me dead 💀
50 is not that old especially if they care themselves.
😂😂😂
@@madikiestherkhiangte9884 oh my gosh, I realized that’s how old my mom is…
@@madikiestherkhiangte9884 I really hope you're not offended
In the west, we live a comfortable existance. We are soft and weak. A 50 year okd woman can out work and out hike me anyday bc they are alot stronger wnd healthier than me.
Sonny took that so well.. That would destroy my soul, to be called fat after losing a bunch of weight
It's pretty common in Asia to be called fat as a compliment of sorts (especially by family and mother figures), I assume Sonny's lived there long enough that he's gotten used to it by now. Plus everybody on youtube is always super encouraging about his weight loss, BEFR is a pretty wholesome community
@@ajsparx4133 Im hip I'm living in bangladesh right now. But just Cuz its common that aunties are more critical of physique than bodybuilding coaches doesn't mean it's not soul crushing esp Cuz ik what it's like to be a past obese person
dude im 180kg and had to live in vietnam for a year or so, and man, i get random PHYSICAL belly rubs from random people on streets, restaurants, shops, you name it.
at first i am offended, i still dont like it, but they will never do it in contempt, they do it with the brightest smile in their face and just pure AWE that they really think this guy must be extremely blessed by buddah to be as big as buddah himself.
I weigh 155 pounds and many Asian parents still call me fat. It's because I'm not super fit. I'm not fat but, if you saw me next to some of the other Asians, who's usually 120 - 135 pounds, I'm fat. Also, in most Asian countries, it's a complement to be called fat as that means you have money and can eat while they're out in the fields working hard all day just to try to get something to eat.
A bit fatty is a symbol of higher class in Vietnam. It represents the people have "more than enough" access to food.
This is the only food show i watch. Sunny is the best host ive ever seen!
My favorite episodes are the inexpensive crab and lobster segments!
Sunny would crush fear factor 😂
Man... This channel blew up! I remember someone said this channel won't reach 1million subs.
Best food review channel in the world!
"Are they f*cking with us?" Yeah, that's what most people would be thinking too when told that they will be eating live swimming fish.
then the 1 guy just start chewing the fish along with the salad
Best response ive ever seen in a culinary video 🤣😂
At least he said it's for a fun drinking game. 😅
Man when sunny ate that fish my sister was puking continuously non stop i was laughing hard 😂😂😋😂😋😂😋😋
Here in Phil. We call that big fish as *isdang (FISH) TILAPIA( or when it was cook that way *INALOB NA TILAPIA, and that red vegetable was could here in our province of Albay as *PUSO NG SAGING (heart of banana). Also that green "vegetables that they get in the river was also could here in our province as *LUMOT , but we don't eat that thing
*gets chosen to catch fish over Andrew...
Sunny: we've won
... and gets called fat*
Sunny: But at what cost :(
