We are so excited to share this Vietnam series with you guys! The street food scene here in HCMC is brilliant and we’ve found loads to share with you. If you enjoyed this one we’d love it if you hit that 👍 Thanks so much for watching! Big love, Thomas & Sheena
Chasing a Plate - Thomas & Sheena: My 16yr old Daughter and l have waited all week for this next series from Vietnam!! (Binge watching your Malaysian playlist filled the void😆). What an exciting, drooling start! Come on guys tone down the deliciousness for us "playing along at home"!! The Pho, the grilled pork salad, the creme caramel..... the coffee!! Cannot wait for more. BTW we worked out we have 6 Vietnamese restaurants within a 600 meters radius from our home!!! No searching for obscure ingredients for attempts at some of the Mexico series. This ones literally on our doorstep. Thank you!
Awesome Brilliant But Blue! Bet they’d all serve most of what we’ll share during the series too 😍 hope you both enjoyed the start to this series- we are seriously having such a blast. On our last trip to Vietnam we had a couple of crappy experiences that sort of put us off returning but we are so happy we decided to give it another go so to speak! The food, the people and the energy here is addictive. Thanks for watching and commenting. Have a great weekend you guys! Cheers, Sheena 💕
Sheena!! You are speaking Vietnamese?? You are def my idol!!! Wow! Wow! Wow! Just the effort that it takes to get to know a few phrases and words of each place you visit is crazy This is how much you really are invested in experiencing the local life as much as possible. Really kudos to you
I was literally thinking the same. Her Spanish/ Mexican was awesome and then 'bang' straight into vietnamese. I'll be listening hard as im going there in a few months and like Thomas my english is better😂
😝😝😝😝 you give me far too much credit than is deserved mate! I really enjoy learning a bit of the language and it’s fun practising even though a lot of the time I get blank looks or laughed at 🤣
😆😆😆😆 definitely take the lot! Oh gosh we are eating so well here cermelem and filming has been such a blast- the locals have been super friendly. Thanks for watching this one and hope you're having a brilliant weekend mate! Cheers, Sheena
Chasing a Plate - Thomas & Sheena yea, some of the best food in the world is literally on the streets. I miss the makeshift stalls of Malay rice and curry right on the streets of Malaysia. Most people think such food might be inferior to that of an establishment but until they try it they are so wrong
Omg i was literally dying for this series to start lol and ive practically screenshotted the whole thing. Im so damn super excited to get there. I dont know if I'll get to many of the places you went as im on a already tight plan but at leadt with all the screenshots and the addresses you have supplied if i happen to be in the same area i can try them too. Love this so much. Thanks guys. Ps. Thomas cracked me up with" i have to order another bowl as no way im sharing this with Sheena "😂😂
Kellie Squire: OMG cavegirl is hitting the big city!! I am so jealous. Here on the "wrong side of the Westgate" we have 6 Vietnamese restaurants within a 600m radius and lm so excited that they are in Vietnam. Have an amazing trip, dont forget your travel insurance and l think Thomas mentioned charcoal tablets for upset tummys (he may confirm this for us). I am excited for you.💕
@@brilliantbutblue haha thanks. i know right, who knew pterodactyl's could fly that far😂. Ive been interested in going there ever since my youngest daughter went on a school trip in yr 10. She loved it there. Im so excited. We do have one vietnamese restaurant where i live but its only average. I envy you having 6.I sometimes get a Pho when i visit the big smoke and its always delicious. Yep i already have insurance and charcoal and imodium tablets ready
Kellie Squire: Woo hoo.👍 My Daughter did Central Australia Yr 9, Cambodia Yr 10 and next year 11 the School is doing Italy. The Cambodia trip doesn't grab me at all but Vietnam certainly does! Have an amazing time, and now you know how to "eat like a traveler, not a Tourist", "Hope your hungry"!! Safe and Happy travels to you.💕
@@brilliantbutblue wow school camps are much more fun these days. I remember a long school camp being 5hrs by bus away😂. My other girl spent 6months volunteer teaching in China so my sights are set there for the next adventure lol. I going to cambodia and thailand too. I am going on an organized trip with Intrepid Tours ( i didnt want to travel it all on my own) so some eat might be abit touristy but theres also free time days so thats good plus im going a week before the tour starts because there isnt much time allocated for Siagon and Hanoi so thats when travel explorer will be in full swing. Thanks for your well wishes. 💖
😄😂😄 I wasn’t even offered a taste of that first bowl! But I can see why- it was next level! You are going to have such a blast here. Absolutely, if you find you have a free moment and one of the food vendors is nearby you can always pop in! Hope you enjoy the rest of the series- we are having a ball filming here and are so excited you will get to experience the beautiful madness for yourself soon! Thanks for watching Kellie 😘 Cheers, Sheena
I say Holey Moley to the whole lot!! No sharing from me either ld eat that delicious feast all to myself! I was stoked when you decided to hit Vietnam for the next location because l just knew you would find all the good stuff for us to enjoy.👍
Too right Brilliant But Blue! We are just loving it here- the energy of the city is wonderful and we have met some really lovely people. And the food! Insane. That grilled pork noodle dish was just the epitome of street food in South East Asia for me- everything about it was just perfect. Thanks for watching and commenting, hope you enjoy this series! Cheers, Sheena
Happy Thanksgiving Joan Rath! Hope you had a lovely family celebration 💕 oh gosh- beef pho is out of this world. We love it. Thanks for watching and commenting 😘 Cheers, Sheena
😍😍😍 thanks so much Alessia B! So glad you enjoyed it because we had so much fun filming this one- it’s great to be back in Asia. And omg the food- it’s brilliant! Thanks for watching and commenting mate, hope you’re having a great week 😘 Cheers, Sheena
So glad you are enjoying the series mate! Would love to get back to Vietnam to film more. Thanks for watching and commenting, hope you enjoy the rest of the content on our channel. Cheers, Sheena
So glad you enjoyed it Basingstoke Dave! It’s awesome to be back in Asia- we’re having a blast. Hope you enjoy what we have coming up mate. Have a great weekend. Cheers, Sheena
Omg, love pho. Amazing price. Pork noodle salad looks delicious. And may I applaud how long you squatted during filming the pork being cooked Thomas. Omg I'd have tipped over after 10 mins. Oooh a tombstone shop. Vietnamese coffee is heavenly. Ok, little seats not good for my back, perhaps that's why I've missed these incredible places. Thank you for again showing us, where we need to visit. I appreciate how much you both have opened my eyes to off the beaten path places to dine.
🤣 Thomas can squat like the best of them! I on the other hand am hopeless at it- I don’t last 2 seconds 😂 so happy you enjoyed this one Rebecca! Oh gosh we are eating so well and the street food scene is amazing. Thanks for watching and commenting on this one. Hope you two are having a lovely weekend! Cheers, Sheena
We totally agree mate! We are having such a ball here 😄 and filming has been super fun. Hope you guys enjoy the series, thanks for watching and commenting 💕 Cheers, Sheena
"Local food experts" I usually go chronological but have to jump to that *_noodle salad._* Wow! You know how sometimes the first bite misses an ingredient or two? Not here. That was absolutely perfect by Thomas. Yup. *_pho_* - Do you recall if you tried the breadsticks with it? I've never done that. Pho has been super trendy in the U.S. forever and people love to tell you how much they love pho. 😂 Seriously. Mention pho in a group and it's kind of unanimous. Ha. But absolutely delicious indeed and rivals ramen as my top noodle soup. Well, OK, not really. ;) You understand. *_Fantastic start to Vietnam, guys!_* All the street and lane shots excite me. Well done.
Hi Tosh! That noodle salad is the best street food we’ve had this year- everything about it from the food to the atmosphere to the vendor was perfect. Couldn’t have asked for better 🤤 Hahaha I know exactly what you mean about people telling you how much they love pho 🤣 I’ve never had pho with the breadsticks. It just doesn’t appeal to either of us- we prefer to keep it as pure and clean a bowl as possible if that makes sense? Thanks for watching and commenting on this one mate, so happy you enjoyed it. Cheers, Sheena P.S “local food experts” 😶 trying to differentiate ourselves in a snappy way from all the other food videos out there 😆
😳 Best street food of the year is high praise indeed considering all the amazing places you two visited in 2019!! *_pho breadsticks_* - I'm the same about the bread but since there was so much of it on display, I thought perhaps that was the traditional thing to do. Was hoping you'd give it a go. *_local food experts_* - I pointed it out to let you see I noticed. You know I actually pay attention 😀 but I definitely understand needing to differentiate. There's so much out there. I prefer "enthusiast." Unlike "foodie" (which makes me cringe), the term enthusiast is perfect. Car enthusiasts, outdoor enthusiasts, wine enthusiasts, etc. have been used for decades and covers it all I feel. My friends say I'm a food enthusiast because I enjoy research; respect tradition; appreciate haute and budget equally and will happily try anything. Yup. To me, *_food enthusiasts_* describe you guys to a tee!
Hola amigos que rico se veía el puerco que comía Thomas,que interesante es la gastronomía de Vietnam, siempre disfruto viendo sus videos. Que DIOS cuide siempre su camino 🙏
Hola amigo, muchas gracias for watching! Oh gosh that pork was unreal- such an epic bowl of noodles. Hope you enjoy this series mate, thanks for watching and commenting. Have a wonderful weekend. Cheers, Sheena
Pho and coffee....Vietnam...the best!!! Mouth is watering after eating turkey for two days!!! Love and safe travel....hoping you will be in Vietnam for more videos
Happy Thanksgiving Jo! So happy you enjoyed this one- we are just loving the food here- the fresh, clean flavours are wonderful. And omg the coffee- we’re addicted! Thanks for watching and commenting- a few more videos coming in this series 😄🥳 Cheers, Sheena
😄😄😄😄 only in Asia! Gosh we loved Saigon- such a vibrant and stimulating city- hope you enjoyed this video mate, thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers, Sheena
You must Gonzalo! Best bowl of street food we’ve had all year- the kind vendor, the phenomenal food and the environment was all perfection. Thanks for watching and commenting on this one mate. Hope you enjoyed it! Cheers, Sheena
😂😂😂😅😅😅 we’re just two sweaty hot messes traipsing down Saigon’s streets mate 😆 thanks for watching and commenting, hope you enjoyed this video! Cheers, Sheena
I wish I was fluent everywhere we went mate 😆 I always say to Thomas that if I could have one super-power it would be that! We try to learn enough so that we can at least order a meal in the local language wherever we go although I gotta say I’m getting quite a few blank looks or laughs here 😆😄 Vietnamese is hard! Hope you enjoyed this one, thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers, Sheena
It’s sooooo delicious isn’t it mate?! We’ve been eating so well and filming here has been awesome. Thanks for watching and commenting, hope you enjoyed this video. Cheers, Sheena
She was sooo lovely Raphael! And her food was out of this world. One of the best bowls of food we’ve had all year. Thanks for watching and commenting mate, hope you enjoyed this video! Cheers, Sheena
Thinking about moving to Da Lat, Vietnam. Manageable temperature, up in the hills, pine trees (!!!), etc. Check it out Thomas & Sheena! 'Til 100K... ❤️🙏
😍😍😍😍 sounds so dreamy Erik Ludwig! We’ll definitely be back here soon so will pop it on the list to explore next time! Hope you enjoy this series mate. Thanks for watching and commenting. Bring on 100K 😍 Cheers, Sheena
We very rarely get ill eating street food- always aim for the popular local spots that are churning out the dishes 😄 Thanks for watching! Cheers, Sheena
😂😂🤣🤣 I know right?! I wasn’t even offered a taste! 😆 luckily he ordered me a bowl right away 😝 those noodles were unreal- we just loved everything about that experience. Thanks for watching and commenting Leann! Cheers, Sheena
😍😍😍😍 we’re so thrilled you enjoyed it mate! Omg the street food culture here is phenomenal. We are loving it! Thanks for watching and commenting- hope you like the rest of the series! Cheers, Sheena
Totally agree- eating it here surrounded by all the energy that is Vietnam is unreal. Thanks for watching and commenting guys, hope you enjoyed this one. Cheers, Sheena
😍😍😍 yay we’re so happy to hear that Carrie! We are having an absolute ball filming here- and finding some very delicious spots. Can’t wait to share them with you guys! Thanks for watching and commenting 😘 Cheers, Sheena
So many great bowls of food 😍 we ate so well! Thanks for watching and commenting Tysu Chu du- hope you enjoy the rest of our Vietnam series. Cheers, Sheena
Wow, I'm so excited that you're in Vietnam for the very first time! This is where you can find some delicious food and one thing to know that I would love to try the Vietnamese sandwich because it's looks so delicious.
We’ve got a tasty one lined up to share with you guys soon Jade Cummings 😄 we’re so thrilled to be filming a series here finally- it’s our third visit to Vietnam and the best so far! Thanks for watching and commenting mate. Cheers, Sheena
I'm hooked on the vietnamese iced coffee..so strong but soooooo good..enjoy your trip.. HOW DO YOU LIKE THE FOOD FROM THERE COMPARED TO THE FLAVORS OF MEXICO? A FO9D CHOICE OF COURSE ,DEPENDS WHAT YOU LIKE BUT WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITES AND DO YOU THINK MEXICO USES MORE SPICES IN THIER FOODS OPOSED TO VIETNAM?
Us too- we can’t get enough of it Joan- at least two a day for us! Oh gosh it’s so hard to compare the two cuisines. I’m loving the use of the fresh herbs here in Vietnam and the spices are a lot more subtle. There’s no substitute for the earthiness of the chillies that you get with Mexican cooking though- we love both cuisines 😍 hope you enjoy the rest of the series! Cheers, Sheena
it’s not, that’s why she didn’t finish it lol. I’m Vietnamese I can tell you our variant of flan is very eggy. it’s overwhelming. I much prefer the European type.
Pho Bo Vien was my go to place for Pho bo when I was staying in that part of town. The meat is sooo tender. I've been meaning to return there. I've discovered another brilliant pho restaurant near Bui Vien backpacker area, Thai Son, 178 Lê Lai What I love about this place is the huge pile of greens they supply with the soup. Super healthy. 60K
😍😍😍 making a note for next time Doug M, thanks for that recommendation! We loved Pho Bo Vien, like you mention that beef was just tender as anything. Thanks for watching and commenting on this video and we hope you enjoy the rest of our Saigon series! Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate Glad to be of assistance. Surprised I didn't see goi cuon crack a mention. There's a woman who makes them on the spot on the street corner Pasteur & Nguyen Con Tru after 4PM most weekdays. I was staying at Ohana hotel nearby. Was following another culinary Kiwi James Blick as I travelled Spain earlier this year.
Why oh why do you guys do this to me 😢.. Stuck at work and drooling 🤤 but love you guys the pork salad looks devine xx thank you for the drool inducing upload xx
😆😆😆😆 we’re so mean! So happy you enjoyed this one Tanya- we’re having such a blast filming here- the food and the people are wonderful. Thanks for watching and commenting- hope your work day is going great 😘 Cheers, Sheena
😝😝😝😝 we’re so cruel! Hope you had a snack on hand mate! Thanks for watching and commenting, we are just loving it here. Hope you enjoy the rest of the series. Cheers, Sheena
Omg it was next level! We loved it so much- definitely our best street food experience of the year. Thanks for watching and commenting mate, hope you enjoy the rest of the series. Cheers, Sheena
Great Job. In my opinion Vietnam has one of the best cuisines. Simple, fresh, tasty. And in Saigon you can get everything. I hope for more Videos after Corona. I can feel your joy and enthusiasm. Thank you.
We’d love to return and film more there Maxi Stulz. I totally agree- simple, fresh and tasty. Thanks for watching and for your kind words. Hope you enjoy the rest of the Saigon series. Cheers, Sheena
Hi Jenn, thank you so much for your lovely comment 😄 so happy that our excitement comes across in the videos. Oh gosh we can’t stop thinking about the bowl of pork noodles we ate in this video. Next level! Have a great week! Cheers, Sheena
Both of you do a great deal of research before selecting a food and then show casing that food with tasting and commentary, it is obvious that there is a great deal of hard work is involved. Sheena is always looks great especially her nails and lipstick is always stunning and when she is eating or drinking any food, her lipstick remains fully intact, that is some amazing skill she has. I am impressed with every aspect of your videos.
Khawaja Ramzee: I am beyond impressed, there attention to details of each place, learning the local lingo/words, building relationships with the stall holders, cinematography, editing l mean they have it all going on and you can see its a "work of passion". Sheenas nails (gorgeous red here) and lipstick are on point!! I just dont know how they do it.... but lm thrilled they do.
Thank you so much for your generous words Khawaja Ramzee 😍 we are so happy that our passion for what we do comes across in the videos! Hahaha it’s hard to look presentable in this humidity and heat but you are very kind. Hope you enjoy what we have coming up on the channel. We really are having a brilliant time filming here. Have a great weekend and thanks for watching. Cheers, Sheena
😍 that’s such a kind thing to say, thanks so much mate, so happy you enjoyed it. This one was a blast to film! Thanks for watching and commenting 😄 Cheers, Sheena
This was awesome episode. Hope you go to Northern Vietnam too! Vietnamese pork is absolutely the best in the world! I’m craving Bún thịt nướng so much right now. Dammit! 😆
😆😆😆😆 it’s my favourite dish- I’m addicted to it! Just in HCMC on this trip Jere Travels but we’ll be back soon hopefully. Thanks for watching and commenting, so happy you enjoyed this one! Cheers, Sheena
😄😄😄 and loads of content to come mate! Hope you enjoy it. We’re super stoked to be back in Asia- it’s been too long 😆 thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers, Sheena
That pork salad made my mouth water! 😛 I have not been to Vietnam for 15 years. I’m thinking it might take a power tool at this point to get me up from those plastic seats at the street stalls! 😩
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I often need a hand to pull me up off those stools- partly because I’m so hot and sweaty and I’m stuck fast to the chair 🤪 gosh bet you wouldn’t recognise parts of Vietnam now. We were first here 7 years ago in Hanoi and had a draft beer down a sleepy lane in the company of a couple of old men. Fast forward to our second trip 5 years later and the very same spot is now beer corner with hundreds of people drinking and eating at little local restaurants and bars. We couldn’t believe it was the same spot! Thanks for watching and commenting Michael, hope you enjoy the rest of the series 😍 Cheers, Sheena
Chasing a Plate - Thomas & Sheena Lol! Honestly Vietnamese people are small in build compared to other Asians so the stool thing isn't too hard to understand but also Asians tend to do deep squats so they must have pretty good calf muscles :) squatting with your two feet flat on the ground is a great position as you relieve pressure on your backbone (as compared to when sitting and even standing) and it is the best position to poop. To that note I must say I miss my squat toilets in Asia 😄
Omg soooooo many holy molys on this day of filming mate. Everything was amazing. Thanks for watching and commenting on this one- hope you enjoy the series 😄 Cheers, Sheena
We sure didn’t. The pork noodles rocked my boat so much though. Absolute outstanding meal. Loved everything about it. The food, the lady and the environment. Thanks for checking this one out! Cheers, Thomas 😀
Omg we still dream about that bowl of bun thit nuong 🤤 Thanks for watching and commenting on this one Ina Lusy. Hope you enjoyed the video! Cheers, Sheena
Lol "My english is a bit better" Thomas is hilarious! Exactly why I love watching these vids 😂 I wanted to jump through the screen and grab that grilled pork right off the coals!!! Looks like a LEGENDARY bowl of deliciousness!😍😍😍
Haha my English is only a wee bit better I think 😂 We’re finding Vietnamese to be such a hard language to get our tongues around. Lots of practice needed. That bowl was absolutely unreal. Blew my mind as soon as I started eating it. Heaven in taste and the setting was incredible also. Loved it! Thanks so much for watching this one. It’s neat being in Asia to film some more content. Cheers, Thomas 😀
Just watching some of your older vlogs and man these foods look absolutely incredible! Love the small stools and the busy roads. Those desserts looks great for a a hot especially and that lady’s pork noodle salad looked super delicious 🤤. Would love to visit Vietnam, soon hopefully!
It was sooo good. One of the best dishes of the year. Thanks for watching and commenting Abroad Named Ashley, hope you enjoyed this video. Cheers, Sheena
😍😍😍😍 so happy you are enjoying the videos mate! Keep safe and healthy! And we hope you enjoy what we have coming up- a massive NZ series 😄 Thanks for taking the time to say hi! Cheers, Sheena
I'm going there soon. The street food definitely looks amazing but I'm a lil apprehensive about the hygiene since I see how they handle food with their bare hands...
Fantastic Hem Joo Yeo! We didn’t have any issues with hygiene in the places we filmed at - we put the addresses in our descriptions if you want to visit them yourself. To be honest, gloves are pretty rare no matter where we are travelling in the world- just follow the usual street food rules (follow the crowds) and you should be okay! Thanks for watching and commenting and have a great trip! Cheers, Sheena
Vietnamese food is incredibly tasty, which was beautifully highlighted in your video. I really like your enthusiasm and positive attitude towards all things food. So inspirational.
Thanks so much for your kind message Errol Khan! We’re so happy our passion for what we do comes across in the videos. The noodle dish we ate in this video just blew us a away- it was the perfect street food experience. Thanks for watching and commenting on this one. Cheers, Sheena
Do you think Thomas liked the pork noodles salad? I’m not sure.🤣🤣🤣 Oh, I feel the same way about this kinda food that just blows you away. Loved this vid guys.
I’m not sure he enthused enough 🤣🤣🤣 It was so exciting being there- the perfect street food experience- the food, the smells, the sounds, the kind vendor. Just magic. Thanks for watching and commenting on this one Jennifer, so happy you enjoyed it! Cheers, Sheena
Hi Huan D. 😍😍😍😍 we can see why! So satisfying and so nurturing and nourishing 🤤 thanks for watching and commenting mate, hope you like this series- we are having a blast filming it! Cheers, Sheena
Wow, what a contrast to your Mexico series! From the foods, to the energy. to the climate. That noodle bowl with grilled pork has me drooling. You know it's a win when Thomas won't share!
It is polar opposites MsKestrela 😆 it’s neat to be back in Asia. Hahaah I wasn’t even offered a taste of the first bowl but once I had a bite I realised why- it was phenomenal. 🤤😍 thanks for watching and commenting MsKestrela- hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Cheers, Sheena
Oh LeAnn! We hope you are okay and well on the road to recovery! What a time you must have had. Sending positive vibes your way. Hope you enjoy catching up on the episodes you missed. Thanks for watching and commenting and we’re so happy you’re back 😍 Cheers, Sheena
😍😍😍😍 yay! So glad you liked it Vrinda Iyer- we are desperate to get back to India soon- loads more for us to see and eat 🥳 thanks for watching and commenting on this one mate. Cheers, Sheena
That bun thit nuong lady is awesome. That's a hard day of work, getting up early in the morning to get the fresh vegetables, meat and noodles, and to be sitting there grilling the food in the hot weather and still be so positive, is pure magic.
Well said hatmurica and we totally agree 😍 She was so proud of her food- and rightly so- it was the perfect street food experience. We’ll be dreaming about that bowl for a very long time to come! Thanks for watching and commenting mate, hope you enjoy the rest of the series. Cheers, Sheena
😍😍😍😍 thanks so much Ivy Chee! We are loving it here 😄 the food is out of this world and everyone is so friendly. Hope you enjoy the series mate. Cheers, Sheena
😂🙌 it was SO good Elizabeth L- one of the best dishes we’ve eaten all year. Thanks for watching and commenting on this one, hope you enjoyed it! Cheers, Sheena
I like how you both share a Plate of food so you both have more opportunities to try different foods, and in certain situations, one of you just has to order a second Plate because it tastes that good! I also envied your coffees with the vendor's technique for breaking the ice so it wouldn't get watery too quickly.
😆😆😆 I wasn’t even offered a taste of that bowl of pork noodles SuzyGrowsMyBiz so I’m glad Thomas ordered me my own! 😂 it was neat watching her break up that ice! Thanks for watching and commenting- hope you enjoyed the start to this new series 😘 Cheers, Sheena
You know you are in for a brilliant series when Sheena first words are Holy Moly can't wait for the next episode keep up the awesome work 👏👏👏love from 🇮🇪☘️😘
😍😄😍😄 there have been so many holy moly’s on this trip so far Bee Oh El! We are having so much fun here. Thanks for watching and commenting- big love to you in 🇮🇪 💕 Cheers, Sheena
😄😄😄😄 thanks so much Wayne Kerr, we’re so happy you liked it! We had a blast filming this one. 😝 trying our best with Vietnamese but getting a lot of blank looks or giggles in return 🤣 it’s fun to practise though! Thanks for watching and commenting, hope you enjoy the rest of the series mate. Cheers, Sheena
😍😍😍 so glad you enjoyed it TE Lawsonstudio! Oh gosh everything was soooo tasty. And filming was so much fun. Thanks for watching and commenting, have a great week mate. Cheers, Sheena

Hey, I've mentioned it on your Instagram stories, so cool!
Thanks for following us over on IG Jade Cummings- hope you’re enjoying the real time stuff mate! Cheers, Sheena
Chasing a Plate - Thomas & Sheena: My 16yr old Daughter and l have waited all week for this next series from Vietnam!! (Binge watching your Malaysian playlist filled the void😆).
What an exciting, drooling start! Come on guys tone down the deliciousness for us "playing along at home"!! The Pho, the grilled pork salad, the creme caramel..... the coffee!! Cannot wait for more. BTW we worked out we have 6 Vietnamese restaurants within a 600 meters radius from our home!!! No searching for obscure ingredients for attempts at some of the Mexico series. This ones literally on our doorstep. Thank you!
Awesome Brilliant But Blue! Bet they’d all serve most of what we’ll share during the series too 😍 hope you both enjoyed the start to this series- we are seriously having such a blast. On our last trip to Vietnam we had a couple of crappy experiences that sort of put us off returning but we are so happy we decided to give it another go so to speak! The food, the people and the energy here is addictive. Thanks for watching and commenting. Have a great weekend you guys! Cheers, Sheena 💕
Sheena!! You are speaking Vietnamese?? You are def my idol!!!
Wow! Wow! Wow!
Just the effort that it takes to get to know a few phrases and words of each place you visit is crazy
This is how much you really are invested in experiencing the local life as much as possible.
Really kudos to you
I was literally thinking the same. Her Spanish/ Mexican was awesome and then 'bang' straight into vietnamese. I'll be listening hard as im going there in a few months and like Thomas my english is better😂
😝😝😝😝 you give me far too much credit than is deserved mate! I really enjoy learning a bit of the language and it’s fun practising even though a lot of the time I get blank looks or laughed at 🤣
Now I want Pho... and noodles. No, Spring rolls! Coffee? I'll take the lot. 😋🍴
😆😆😆😆 definitely take the lot! Oh gosh we are eating so well here cermelem and filming has been such a blast- the locals have been super friendly. Thanks for watching this one and hope you're having a brilliant weekend mate! Cheers, Sheena
Ohhh that freshly grilled pork over charcoal right on the street. That is smell-o-vision worthy!
Omg you guys would have LOVED that dish- it totally blew us away! 😍🤤 we’ll be dreaming about it for years to come.
Chasing a Plate - Thomas & Sheena yea, some of the best food in the world is literally on the streets. I miss the makeshift stalls of Malay rice and curry right on the streets of Malaysia.

"I am not sharing this with Sheena"
Hahaha I'm familiar with that lol
I didn’t even get a taste of that first bowl 🤣
Oh my, oh my ! I am completely in awe of this first Vietnamese episode. The foods look so vibrant and local. You aced it 👌😋🍮
😍😍😍 thanks so much Alessia B! So glad you enjoyed it because we had so much fun filming this one- it’s great to be back in Asia. And omg the food- it’s brilliant! Thanks for watching and commenting mate, hope you’re having a great week 😘 Cheers, Sheena
Love your Vietnam street food video. More please 🙏🏼
So glad you are enjoying the series mate! Would love to get back to Vietnam to film more. Thanks for watching and commenting, hope you enjoy the rest of the content on our channel. Cheers, Sheena
nice one guys
So glad you enjoyed it Basingstoke Dave! It’s awesome to be back in Asia- we’re having a blast. Hope you enjoy what we have coming up mate. Have a great weekend. Cheers, Sheena
When Sheena said :"let's find a bowl"
Lieles stopped editing and said : "noodles episode"
😆😆😆
😄😄😄😄😄 loving them noodles!! Thanks for watching and commenting you two 😍 Hope you enjoyed the video! Cheers, Sheena
Omg, love pho. Amazing price. Pork noodle salad looks delicious. And may I applaud how long you squatted during filming the pork being cooked Thomas. Omg I'd have tipped over after 10 mins. Oooh a tombstone shop. Vietnamese coffee is heavenly. Ok, little seats not good for my back, perhaps that's why I've missed these incredible places. Thank you for again showing us, where we need to visit. I appreciate how much you both have opened my eyes to off the beaten path places to dine.
🤣 Thomas can squat like the best of them! I on the other hand am hopeless at it- I don’t last 2 seconds 😂 so happy you enjoyed this one Rebecca! Oh gosh we are eating so well and the street food scene is amazing. Thanks for watching and commenting on this one. Hope you two are having a lovely weekend! Cheers, Sheena
Love it! The street food culture in Saigon is amazing 😍
We totally agree mate! We are having such a ball here 😄 and filming has been super fun. Hope you guys enjoy the series, thanks for watching and commenting 💕 Cheers, Sheena
"Local food experts"
I usually go chronological but have to jump to that *_noodle salad._* Wow! You know how sometimes the first bite misses an ingredient or two? Not here. That was absolutely perfect by Thomas. Yup.
*_pho_* - Do you recall if you tried the breadsticks with it? I've never done that. Pho has been super trendy in the U.S. forever and people love to tell you how much they love pho. 😂 Seriously. Mention pho in a group and it's kind of unanimous. Ha. But absolutely delicious indeed and rivals ramen as my top noodle soup. Well, OK, not really. ;) You understand.
*_Fantastic start to Vietnam, guys!_* All the street and lane shots excite me. Well done.
Hi Tosh! That noodle salad is the best street food we’ve had this year- everything about it from the food to the atmosphere to the vendor was perfect. Couldn’t have asked for better 🤤 Hahaha I know exactly what you mean about people telling you how much they love pho 🤣 I’ve never had pho with the breadsticks. It just doesn’t appeal to either of us- we prefer to keep it as pure and clean a bowl as possible if that makes sense? Thanks for watching and commenting on this one mate, so happy you enjoyed it. Cheers, Sheena P.S “local food experts” 😶 trying to differentiate ourselves in a snappy way from all the other food videos out there 😆
😳 Best street food of the year is high praise indeed considering all the amazing places you two visited in 2019!!
*_pho breadsticks_* - I'm the same about the bread but since there was so much of it on display, I thought perhaps that was the traditional thing to do. Was hoping you'd give it a go.
*_local food experts_* - I pointed it out to let you see I noticed. You know I actually pay attention 😀 but I definitely understand needing to differentiate. There's so much out there. I prefer "enthusiast." Unlike "foodie" (which makes me cringe), the term enthusiast is perfect. Car enthusiasts, outdoor enthusiasts, wine enthusiasts, etc. have been used for decades and covers it all I feel. My friends say I'm a food enthusiast because I enjoy research; respect tradition; appreciate haute and budget equally and will happily try anything. Yup. To me, *_food enthusiasts_* describe you guys to a tee!
Hola amigos que rico se veía el puerco que comía Thomas,que interesante es la gastronomía de Vietnam, siempre disfruto viendo sus videos. Que DIOS cuide siempre su camino 🙏
Hola amigo, muchas gracias for watching! Oh gosh that pork was unreal- such an epic bowl of noodles. Hope you enjoy this series mate, thanks for watching and commenting. Have a wonderful weekend. Cheers, Sheena
Pho and coffee....Vietnam...the best!!! Mouth is watering after eating turkey for two days!!! Love and safe travel....hoping you will be in Vietnam for more videos
Happy Thanksgiving Jo! So happy you enjoyed this one- we are just loving the food here- the fresh, clean flavours are wonderful. And omg the coffee- we’re addicted! Thanks for watching and commenting- a few more videos coming in this series 😄🥳 Cheers, Sheena
Vietnamese ice coffee. Drool. And Pho, love it. So much so that i am eating it in my profile pic!

Thanks for watching! This was the best day of filming. Such great food. Cheers, Thomas 😀
I love the "tombstone" part :)
😄😄😄😄 only in Asia! Gosh we loved Saigon- such a vibrant and stimulating city- hope you enjoyed this video mate, thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers, Sheena
I've made authentic beef pho.its so yummy.i simmered my beef bones for hours.yes the secret is in the broth.
Joan Rath: Its all about the Broth, you are awesome.
Happy Thanksgiving from Australia.💕
Oh gosh- I can just imagine the smell and the taste of that broth!! 😍
That bún thịt nướng looks epic. Such a friendly lady and the setting is pure Saigon. I have to return to Vietnam for that!
You must Gonzalo! Best bowl of street food we’ve had all year- the kind vendor, the phenomenal food and the environment was all perfection. Thanks for watching and commenting on this one mate. Hope you enjoyed it! Cheers, Sheena
Walking in Vietnam. You guys are crazy X'D. I give it to you that the humidity and smog didn't beat you. :)
😂😂😂😅😅😅 we’re just two sweaty hot messes traipsing down Saigon’s streets mate 😆 thanks for watching and commenting, hope you enjoyed this video! Cheers, Sheena
Luffy3D2Y: And they still looked freaking amazing after a 45mins walk in heat and humidity!! They are a very fit duo.
Brilliant But Blue you are far too kind! Having to carry a sweat rag to mop up on the go 🤣😅
Oh yeah, i can already imagine how tasty it would be
🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤 it was unreal!!
Todo se ve delicioso!!!
Si, muy rico Lilian Valderramos! Thanks for watching and commenting on this one mate, hope you enjoy this new series 💕 Cheers, Sheena
❤❤❤
Sheena, how many languages do you speak ??? You where just speaking Spanish in Mexico .
I wish I was fluent everywhere we went mate 😆 I always say to Thomas that if I could have one super-power it would be that! We try to learn enough so that we can at least order a meal in the local language wherever we go although I gotta say I’m getting quite a few blank looks or laughs here 😆😄 Vietnamese is hard! Hope you enjoyed this one, thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers, Sheena
T&T , the food is truly amazing👍🏼❤️
Sure is! That bun thit nuong was off the charts. Thanks for watching and commenting Phoenix Legion. Cheers, Thomas

@@ChasingaPlate you're welcome Sheena. More videos, please!!! ❤
I’m surprise you don’t get food poisoning from the street food
We very rarely get ill eating street food- always aim for the popular local spots that are churning out the dishes 😄 Thanks for watching! Cheers, Sheena
👎hungry again 😋👍
😆😆😆😆😆 hope you had something tasty on hand Michael! Thanks for watching and commenting on this one mate 😄 Happy weekend! Cheers, Sheena
Sheenna divorce....lol he doesn't want to share.
😂😂🤣🤣 I know right?! I wasn’t even offered a taste! 😆 luckily he ordered me a bowl right away 😝 those noodles were unreal- we just loved everything about that experience. Thanks for watching and commenting Leann! Cheers, Sheena

😍😍😍😍 we’re so thrilled you enjoyed it mate! Omg the street food culture here is phenomenal. We are loving it! Thanks for watching and commenting- hope you like the rest of the series! Cheers, Sheena
Why do you have British accent?
It’s not a British accent, it’s a New Zealand accent 😄 We’re both Kiwis. Thanks for watching, hope you enjoyed the video. Cheers, Sheena
So so good guys! What an incredible food video. I can't get over the pork / noodle bowl you had. Wow - Trevor
Hi Trevor! It was insanely good. One of the best bowls of food we’ve had all year. Thanks for watching and commenting mate. Cheers, Sheena
There's nothing better I'd like to do in the world than eat PHO in the streets of Saigon.
It’s pretty special! Thanks for watching! Cheers, Sheena
Yay Vietnamese coffee!!
That's what I love of the Vietnamese coffee the balance of sweet and bitter. I need to have the bitter taste
Absolutely agree!!! How addictive is it?! 😍
Love love love flan but that combination with the coffee syrup and the coconut drink on the side must make that duo a heart attack
The Mamuchos: Yeah but ld die happily fed at least😅
🤣🤣🤣🤣 that’s us, go hard or go home 😜
Another great thing about Vietnam is the coffee culture!
We’re addicted to the stuff! 😍🤤
Pho was never the same for us after eating it in Vietnam. This looks like such a great bowl!
Totally agree- eating it here surrounded by all the energy that is Vietnam is unreal. Thanks for watching and commenting guys, hope you enjoyed this one. Cheers, Sheena
Yay! I’m really excited for this Vietnam series.
Carrie Philbrick: Me too!
😍😍😍 yay we’re so happy to hear that Carrie! We are having an absolute ball filming here- and finding some very delicious spots. Can’t wait to share them with you guys! Thanks for watching and commenting 😘 Cheers, Sheena
This looks like such a great bowl! so good
So many great bowls of food 😍 we ate so well! Thanks for watching and commenting Tysu Chu du- hope you enjoy the rest of our Vietnam series. Cheers, Sheena
I love name SaiGon
I love saigonese
🙌🙌🙌🙌 Saigon rocks! Thanks for watching and commenting, hope you enjoyed this video. Cheers, Sheena
Wow, I'm so excited that you're in Vietnam for the very first time! This is where you can find some delicious food and one thing to know that I would love to try the Vietnamese sandwich because it's looks so delicious.
We’ve got a tasty one lined up to share with you guys soon Jade Cummings 😄 we’re so thrilled to be filming a series here finally- it’s our third visit to Vietnam and the best so far! Thanks for watching and commenting mate. Cheers, Sheena
I'm hooked on the vietnamese iced coffee..so strong but soooooo good..enjoy your trip..
HOW DO YOU LIKE THE FOOD FROM THERE COMPARED TO THE FLAVORS OF MEXICO? A FO9D CHOICE OF COURSE ,DEPENDS WHAT YOU LIKE BUT WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITES AND DO YOU THINK MEXICO USES MORE SPICES IN THIER FOODS OPOSED TO VIETNAM?
Us too- we can’t get enough of it Joan- at least two a day for us!
Oh gosh it’s so hard to compare the two cuisines. I’m loving the use of the fresh herbs here in Vietnam and the spices are a lot more subtle. There’s no substitute for the earthiness of the chillies that you get with Mexican cooking though- we love both cuisines 😍 hope you enjoy the rest of the series! Cheers, Sheena
It takes along time to boil the bone broth.i was happy with the broth the dogs were happy with the bone shanks what little mallow an gristle left
Ohhh that flan looks so good and then coffee syrup poured on top - yum!!
Love the coffee on top- it totally transforms it. Plus that ice- so great in the heat!
it’s not, that’s why she didn’t finish it lol. I’m Vietnamese I can tell you our variant of flan is very eggy. it’s overwhelming. I much prefer the European type.
Pho Bo Vien was my go to place for Pho bo when I was staying in that part of town. The meat is sooo tender. I've been meaning to return there. I've discovered another brilliant pho restaurant near Bui Vien backpacker area, Thai Son, 178 Lê Lai What I love about this place is the huge pile of greens they supply with the soup. Super healthy. 60K
😍😍😍 making a note for next time Doug M, thanks for that recommendation! We loved Pho Bo Vien, like you mention that beef was just tender as anything. Thanks for watching and commenting on this video and we hope you enjoy the rest of our Saigon series! Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate Glad to be of assistance. Surprised I didn't see goi cuon crack a mention. There's a woman who makes them on the spot on the street corner Pasteur & Nguyen Con Tru after 4PM most weekdays. I was staying at Ohana hotel nearby. Was following another culinary Kiwi James Blick as I travelled Spain earlier this year.
Gotta save some content for next time round 😄 thanks for the tip!
Are you guys Kiwis? First time watching your vids
We sure are from NZ. Thanks very much for watching this one and we hope you enjoyed it. Cheers, Thomas 😀
Chur looking forward to watching more keep up the awesome mahi

That was. Cheap pho.we have a resturant in town that makes authentic beef pho but its 15.00 bowl that's why I made my own...
It’s so affordable to eat well here 😍
Making me miss Saigon and making me hungry!!! 🤤
😝😝😝😝 we’re so cruel! Hope you had a snack on hand mate! Thanks for watching and commenting, we are just loving it here. Hope you enjoy the rest of the series. Cheers, Sheena
+++++++
Thanks for watching mate! Hope you enjoyed the first of the Vietnam series 😀 Cheers, Sheena
👍👍👍
Wow wow. You guys make me soo hungry ! Love that BUN THIT NUONG!
Omg it was next level! We loved it so much- definitely our best street food experience of the year. Thanks for watching and commenting mate, hope you enjoy the rest of the series. Cheers, Sheena
Great Job. In my opinion Vietnam has one of the best cuisines. Simple, fresh, tasty. And in Saigon you can get everything. I hope for more Videos after Corona. I can feel your joy and enthusiasm. Thank you.
We’d love to return and film more there Maxi Stulz. I totally agree- simple, fresh and tasty. Thanks for watching and for your kind words. Hope you enjoy the rest of the Saigon series. Cheers, Sheena
Loved your enthusiasm for the food! I think that’s what sets your videos apart. You guys make every food experience look amazing. -Jenn
Hi Jenn, thank you so much for your lovely comment 😄 so happy that our excitement comes across in the videos. Oh gosh we can’t stop thinking about the bowl of pork noodles we ate in this video. Next level! Have a great week! Cheers, Sheena
Hello, bonjour ,
Thank you for this great video 👌🏻
Merci
Bonjour Eowynna! We’re so happy you enjoyed it mate- we are having so much fun filming here. Thanks for watching and commenting 😘 Cheers, Sheena
Both of you do a great deal of research before selecting a food and then show casing that food with tasting and commentary, it is obvious that there is a great deal of hard work is involved. Sheena is always looks great especially her nails and lipstick is always stunning and when she is eating or drinking any food, her lipstick remains fully intact, that is some amazing skill she has. I am impressed with every aspect of your videos.
Khawaja Ramzee: I am beyond impressed, there attention to details of each place, learning the local lingo/words, building relationships with the stall holders, cinematography, editing l mean they have it all going on and you can see its a "work of passion". Sheenas nails (gorgeous red here) and lipstick are on point!! I just dont know how they do it.... but lm thrilled they do.
Thank you so much for your generous words Khawaja Ramzee 😍 we are so happy that our passion for what we do comes across in the videos! Hahaha it’s hard to look presentable in this humidity and heat but you are very kind. Hope you enjoy what we have coming up on the channel. We really are having a brilliant time filming here. Have a great weekend and thanks for watching. Cheers, Sheena
The best vlog on Vietnamese food. Bravo!
😍 that’s such a kind thing to say, thanks so much mate, so happy you enjoyed it. This one was a blast to film! Thanks for watching and commenting 😄 Cheers, Sheena
CHOMPING CHAMPION: Best vloggers on any food!
This was awesome episode. Hope you go to Northern Vietnam too! Vietnamese pork is absolutely the best in the world! I’m craving Bún thịt nướng so much right now. Dammit! 😆
😆😆😆😆 it’s my favourite dish- I’m addicted to it! Just in HCMC on this trip Jere Travels but we’ll be back soon hopefully. Thanks for watching and commenting, so happy you enjoyed this one! Cheers, Sheena
Yay!! Back in Asia, where they seem to have the most interesting food.
😄😄😄 and loads of content to come mate! Hope you enjoy it. We’re super stoked to be back in Asia- it’s been too long 😆 thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers, Sheena
Can't argue with that. Was there in the summer, and it was amazing to shoot stuff and eat stuff!
You guy making me hungry
And I just subscribed.
Wishing we were in Vietnam! 😝 thanks for watching mate, hope you enjoyed the video! Cheers, Sheena
That pork salad made my mouth water! 😛 I have not been to Vietnam for 15 years. I’m thinking it might take a power tool at this point to get me up from those plastic seats at the street stalls! 😩
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I often need a hand to pull me up off those stools- partly because I’m so hot and sweaty and I’m stuck fast to the chair 🤪 gosh bet you wouldn’t recognise parts of Vietnam now. We were first here 7 years ago in Hanoi and had a draft beer down a sleepy lane in the company of a couple of old men. Fast forward to our second trip 5 years later and the very same spot is now beer corner with hundreds of people drinking and eating at little local restaurants and bars. We couldn’t believe it was the same spot! Thanks for watching and commenting Michael, hope you enjoy the rest of the series 😍 Cheers, Sheena
Chasing a Plate - Thomas & Sheena Lol! Honestly Vietnamese people are small in build compared to other Asians so the stool thing isn't too hard to understand but also Asians tend to do deep squats so they must have pretty good calf muscles :) squatting with your two feet flat on the ground is a great position as you relieve pressure on your backbone (as compared to when sitting and even standing) and it is the best position to poop. To that note I must say I miss my squat toilets in Asia 😄
Holy moly. Like it a lot
Omg soooooo many holy molys on this day of filming mate. Everything was amazing. Thanks for watching and commenting on this one- hope you enjoy the series 😄 Cheers, Sheena
Hi my friend
Very nice video.
Thanks for sharing.
New friend here.
Hi mate, thanks for watching! It was such a great day of eating. Hope you enjoy the rest of our Saigon series! Cheers, Sheena
I'm literally going for a bowl of pho right now in Canada with my wife!
And me alone in Los Angeles! Yeah.
Chris M: OMG lm jealous!
How was it Chris M?! 😍 thanks for watching and commenting on this one- hope you enjoyed it and like the rest of the series! Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate it was great thanks for asking.
You didn't have a bad meal all day!
We sure didn’t. The pork noodles rocked my boat so much though. Absolute outstanding meal. Loved everything about it. The food, the lady and the environment. Thanks for checking this one out! Cheers, Thomas 😀
From Vietnam ❤
Thanks for watching. We hope you enjoyed this one. Cheers, Thomas 😀
Amazing
Omg we still dream about that bowl of bun thit nuong 🤤 Thanks for watching and commenting on this one Ina Lusy. Hope you enjoyed the video! Cheers, Sheena
Hello
Hi mate! Thanks for watching this episode, hope you enjoyed it! Cheers, Sheena
Lol "My english is a bit better" Thomas is hilarious! Exactly why I love watching these vids 😂 I wanted to jump through the screen and grab that grilled pork right off the coals!!! Looks like a LEGENDARY bowl of deliciousness!😍😍😍
Haha my English is only a wee bit better I think 😂 We’re finding Vietnamese to be such a hard language to get our tongues around. Lots of practice needed. That bowl was absolutely unreal. Blew my mind as soon as I started eating it. Heaven in taste and the setting was incredible also. Loved it! Thanks so much for watching this one. It’s neat being in Asia to film some more content. Cheers, Thomas 😀
I love Gahori "Pork" 🐷♥️🙏
🤤🤤🤤🤤 us too mate! The grilled pork in this one was next level 🤤 thanks for watching and commenting, hope you enjoyed this one! Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate Yes, awesome. Just be careful with your hand bags in the evening while eating street food. Not all but some roads are not safe.
👍
My favorite pho is pho 32 at Le Thi Rieng near Pham ngu lao. Not particularly like Vietnam grilled pork and chicken. Too hard to bite.
🙌🙌🙌🙌 we’ll have to make a note to check that one out! Thanks for watching and commenting, hope you enjoyed this video 😄 Cheers, Sheena
Just watching some of your older vlogs and man these foods look absolutely incredible! Love the small stools and the busy roads. Those desserts looks great for a a hot especially and that lady’s pork noodle salad looked super delicious 🤤. Would love to visit Vietnam, soon hopefully!
Hi guys, thanks for watching and commenting! HCMC is awesome- we love it there. Hope you can get there soon! Cheers, Sheena
The pork noodle salad looks INSANE! Y'all are literally making my mouth water!
It was sooo good. One of the best dishes of the year. Thanks for watching and commenting Abroad Named Ashley, hope you enjoyed this video. Cheers, Sheena
I’m sooooo happy I stumbled on your channel!!! So epic!!! It’s keeping me going thru this COVID 19 era!!!! 💕💕💕🌍
😍😍😍😍 so happy you are enjoying the videos mate! Keep safe and healthy! And we hope you enjoy what we have coming up- a massive NZ series 😄 Thanks for taking the time to say hi! Cheers, Sheena
Wow pork grilling lady is so friendly and smiley
She was SO friendly- and her food was sensational! Thanks for watching and commenting mate, hope you enjoyed this video! Cheers, Sheena
I'm going there soon. The street food definitely looks amazing but I'm a lil apprehensive about the hygiene since I see how they handle food with their bare hands...
Fantastic Hem Joo Yeo! We didn’t have any issues with hygiene in the places we filmed at - we put the addresses in our descriptions if you want to visit them yourself. To be honest, gloves are pretty rare no matter where we are travelling in the world- just follow the usual street food rules (follow the crowds) and you should be okay! Thanks for watching and commenting and have a great trip! Cheers, Sheena
Vietnamese food is incredibly tasty, which was beautifully highlighted in your video. I really like your enthusiasm and positive attitude towards all things food. So inspirational.
Thanks so much for your kind message Errol Khan! We’re so happy our passion for what we do comes across in the videos. The noodle dish we ate in this video just blew us a away- it was the perfect street food experience. Thanks for watching and commenting on this one. Cheers, Sheena
Do you think Thomas liked the pork noodles salad? I’m not sure.🤣🤣🤣 Oh, I feel the same way about this kinda food that just blows you away. Loved this vid guys.
I’m not sure he enthused enough 🤣🤣🤣 It was so exciting being there- the perfect street food experience- the food, the smells, the sounds, the kind vendor. Just magic. Thanks for watching and commenting on this one Jennifer, so happy you enjoyed it! Cheers, Sheena
Very cool! Those street food are my never ending comfort food. Cheers!
I could eat Pho everyday of my life if I had to. =)
Hi Huan D. 😍😍😍😍 we can see why! So satisfying and so nurturing and nourishing 🤤 thanks for watching and commenting mate, hope you like this series- we are having a blast filming it! Cheers, Sheena
Wow, what a contrast to your Mexico series! From the foods, to the energy. to the climate. That noodle bowl with grilled pork has me drooling. You know it's a win when Thomas won't share!
It is polar opposites MsKestrela 😆 it’s neat to be back in Asia. Hahaah I wasn’t even offered a taste of the first bowl but once I had a bite I realised why- it was phenomenal. 🤤😍 thanks for watching and commenting MsKestrela- hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Cheers, Sheena
I have missed you. I have been in the hospital for over a month. I missed Mexico.i love you all. LeAnn Louisville KY

You can also wait for the ice to melt for the cofie to be less strong and less sweet.
Too right mate! Great point! Thanks for watching and commenting, hope you enjoyed this one. We loved HCMC’s food culture. Cheers, Sheena
That bun thit nuong lady is awesome. That's a hard day of work, getting up early in the morning to get the fresh vegetables, meat and noodles, and to be sitting there grilling the food in the hot weather and still be so positive, is pure magic.
Well said hatmurica and we totally agree 😍 She was so proud of her food- and rightly so- it was the perfect street food experience. We’ll be dreaming about that bowl for a very long time to come! Thanks for watching and commenting mate, hope you enjoy the rest of the series. Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate Oh, are you kidding me? We should be thanking you guys. I know it takes a lot of time and energy to film and edit videos.
Guys welcome to Vietnam I living in Hanoi the north part of Vietnam hope you in Vietnam so far
😍😍😍😍 thanks so much Ivy Chee! We are loving it here 😄 the food is out of this world and everyone is so friendly. Hope you enjoy the series mate. Cheers, Sheena
Chasing a Plate - Thomas & Sheena the food the culture including the people they are always friendly

Watch on mute 😂 thanks for watching. Cheers, Thomas
UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Ughhhhhhhhhh in a good way we hope? 🤣🤣🤣 thanks for watching mate! Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate ofcourse in a good way!
I like how you both share a Plate of food so you both have more opportunities to try different foods, and in certain situations, one of you just has to order a second Plate because it tastes that good! I also envied your coffees with the vendor's technique for breaking the ice so it wouldn't get watery too quickly.
😆😆😆 I wasn’t even offered a taste of that bowl of pork noodles SuzyGrowsMyBiz so I’m glad Thomas ordered me my own! 😂 it was neat watching her break up that ice! Thanks for watching and commenting- hope you enjoyed the start to this new series 😘 Cheers, Sheena
You know you are in for a brilliant series when Sheena first words are Holy Moly can't wait for the next episode keep up the awesome work 👏👏👏love from 🇮🇪☘️😘
