When I was in the Army stationed in Hawaii, my 2 Vietnamese buddies took me to Chinatown in Wiakiki and introduced to Bahn mi sandwiches. I couldn't stop eating them. I had 4 in the restaurant and I got 4 to go... I felt like a damn Hobbit. I had breakfast and second breakfast and 11zees, and then lunch. That's how good them sammies are! This was back in 1989 too!!
Phở and Bánh mì are now already become regular American food, imported by us refugee Vietnamese American. I'm very impress your Vietnamese pronunciation, remember there are two sides of Vietnamese culture...Việt vs Việt +.
I am! I wish there was a Vietnamese restaurant closer to where I live. I would get it all the time. :D I'm excited to go back to VN and have the real deal soon! :) Pho Phu Vuong is my favorite!! Soon!
There are 2 types of pho: north pho and south pho, you should try each type when you go back to vietnam, they are different from each other, I think pho you have in america is south pho,sr for my bad english 👍
I am very impressed your sister the first time eating vietnamese cuisines. She enjoys it. Especially she is not afraid of trying "nuoc mam." Good for you, Brittney! 👍
Audrey, you are a caring person. The way you took care of your little sister was simply touching. I feel your deep love addressed to your sister. You are both so well educated! Your parents did a good job of raising you guys with manners. It was stunning to watch your sister eating Pho and Bún chả giò with chopsticks for the first time. She was pretty good! And plus, she did like nước mắm:). You guys should be born with a bit Vietnamese genes:).
Wow thank you so much for all of the kind comments! I’m so happy that you are able to enjoy my content! Thanks for watching so many videos and being happy!
Wow.. Look at the prices on that menu.. 20 years ago a large bowl of pho in Little Saigon is $5-$6 and is now doubled. My salary hasn't gone up that much. How are we going to keep up with inflation. I don't even want to think about my college funds for my kids but you know what? Your videos make me forget all of the world problems and puts me in a more positive outlook on life.. Carry on with your great work, Audrey!
Glad your introducing Pho to your family and she's using those Chopstick like a pro! Haha I can't eat Pho with out Hoisan sauce, siracha, and Veggies. Ate Pho when I was 5 months old haha
Pho is one of my favorite foods. I was just working on the English subtitles and had to stop because I haven't eaten breakfast yet and seeing the pho is making me die of hunger! :D Wish we had a Vietnamese restaurant closer to our house.
If the broth is good, I spend a lot more time enjoying it before adding any of the herbs. My local Pho restaurant makes very good broth so I eat the broth by it's self while it's hot. I only add the herbs when I think the soup is starting to cool. Important tip: You can ask that the bean sprouts be blanched so they are slightly cooked instead of adding cold sprouts to your hot soup.
Yeah some places I love the broth so much that I do the same thing. :)) In Vietnam usually. And I didn't know that about the sprouts. Thanks for the tip!
John Doe you're absolutely right,most cooks frown upon adding hoisin or other ingredients to their broth,but everyone has different tastes. I only add Sriracha and herbs,you'd imagine the broth is perfectly seasoned after hours of simmering.
Oh wow, I recognize this place! I've been there. My grandparents, then my brother, use to live practically just around the corner. When you're around there again sometime, check out Veranda Market if you haven't already done so. It's also on Forest Ave. That place literally has just about everything I would buy out here in Orange County's Sài Gòn Nhỏ (Little Saigon) in California. I was impressed.
I noticed Huy is holding a small black camera from the reflection. What model is it? And is it the one that you normally use when you film in front of the brick wall? Thank you. Have you visited Little Saigon in California? It's the mecca for Viet food in America. I moved back here after living in WA state just for the weather and the food!
Yes, the camera is the Sony A6000 which is what I use for all my videos. I want to get a vlogging camera since that one is kind of big and heavy to vlog but it's so expensive to buy a camera when I already have one that "works". The camera gives me really good video quality so I'm also afraid to buy something that I end up hating. lol I haven't been to the west coast yet but I'm dying to go and eat all the food there!!! And the weather must be incredible!
I had a very nice memory with Phở. Whenever I eat phở, I usually put a lot of basils and corianders in my bowl. The hủ tiếu bò khò looks very tasty and personally, i always have bánh mì bò kho, not hủ tiếu or mì. And bún thịt nướng looks as if it lacked of some mỡ hành (scallion and oil garnish) , is it right?
Hi Ron! haha you're a food lover like me. :)) And yes, the scallion and oil garnish was missing, though I didn't know it goes on bun thit nuong, I thought it's for com tam. :D
Hello Audrey and Huy, thanks for sharing this video. Your sister is so sweet. I wish you guys bring Britney into your videos more often. I am happy to Audrey having wonderful parents and relatives.
Very nice of you to instructions ur sister how to eat Vn noodle and how to eat Vn food in general. Very cool to see. I am glad she like it too. Well done
Aww thanks! I thought it would be cool to teach her about it. I can't believe she hadn't eaten Vietnamese food before, but then again, there isn't any where we grew up. This restaurant is 2 hours from our hometown.
Glad she was open minded enough to try it and happy she liked the stuff she tried. I love bun thit nuong and would usually order that when everyone else orders pho. LOL. I'd dump the whole bowl of fish sauce and stir and eat away. I figure all the extra sauce just settles to the bottom anyway. LOL! Definitely get her to try banh mi and banh cuon and banh xeo at some point. I bet she'll like it all.
haha yeah if it was only mine that's what I do, dump everything on and go to town! :D Maybe next time she comes to visit me in NJ we can go out to eat in NYC and I'll have her try those dishes too :)
It's a tradition from the North of Vietnam. You always invite the people who are older than you to eat the meal before you begin to eat. "Em mời anh chị ăn phở" was the phrase. :)
Audrey, from another clip, you said that your family will be in VN for Tet. I hope that you make a clip of flowers market and some kind of a dinner Tet. I have missed all those pictures since 30 years. Thank you very much.
Wow! I didn’t know that there’s a Pho restaurant in Portland, ME. I used to live in New Hampshire. We went up to ME many times, but we always went up there for the lobsters
Missing saw tooth!!!! Thai coriander!!! That’s what he was saying was missing! I ALWAYS put it in my homemade pho! Yum! I’m so glad she liked it! People that say they don’t like it are CRAZY! Its the equivalent of American chicken noodle soup for warmth and comfort. Pho is The Vietnamese food of warmth and comfort!
After watching a few of your videos, I understand why you speak Vietnamese so well. I applaud you and your husband. Love how you get along with your mother in law, I think your father in law loves you too. Learning a new culture of your husband is really tough, you're doing great. Can you believe that 42 years ago the North Vietnamese and Americans were killing each other? Now everybody is getting along and being one huge family. Thanks for sharing your life. Good luck to you and your husband.
Thanks so much. I am so happy to have in-laws who accept me. Of course it's a lot for me to learn but since it's driven by love it's easy. :D And yes, it is crazy how the times have changed for the better. :) Thanks for watching.
Hurray for Britney! Baby steps to the wonderful world of Vietnamese cuisines. Tasty n healthy too! Can't wait to see your vlogs taking Britney n your parents to Vietnam for some major street food experience. But I think we, Americans r already blessed with so many authentic Pho restaurants all over our major US cities. So wanted a bowl of hot aromatic bowl of delicious Pho to cure the winter blues right now! 😉
Yes Audrey! I think your parents opinion will matters greatly in the culinary world toward Vietnamese food. Since both your parents r top chefs. You n Britney are such lucky girls growing up begin served delicious chef quality food on a daily basis. 😆
Glad you liked it! I’ll be making a lot of videos of my upcoming Vietnam trip so if you haven’t already subscribed then you should! I’m leaving in 2 weeks and will be there for 17 days.
I enjoy watching your blog a lot 👍n u r so so cute with ur husband , I married an American husband but he doesn’t speak Vietnamese as much as u do ❤️ keep up blogging!!!
Thanks so much! I'm so happy you enjoy my videos. I will keep posting for a very long time, I'm having a lot of fun making videos and chatting to people like you. :) Thanks for watching and have a nice day!
I start a day with cafe sua da . I love G7 Trung Nguyên , too. But I prefer the coffee made my self, its a mix of Arabica, Robusta , and one more type I forgot the name :)
Glad to see your sister enjoyed eating Viet food. I actually immigrated to the States a little bit 30 years ago. Not many Americans knew about Vietnamese food then. Surprised to see Viet food successfully have entered the American main stream. As a matter of fact, I have had Pho in all over cities in the U.S. and the world because I had spent over 25 years in the U.S. Marines and been stationed in many parts of the States and Asia and the Middle East. Since you're from Italian background, pretty sure you and your sister would like bánh mì. Have you intro Britney to bánh mì?
Yes, I'm glad Vietnamese food isn't too hard to find these days! And I have not shown her the Banh Mi yet, maybe next time she comes to visit me we can go, there are a lot of Vietnamese restaurants in NYC.
every time I eat phở in the Vietnamese restaurant I requested the waitress who took my oder to give me hành dấm (slided white onion in vinegar) and nước béo (fat broth) that make my bowl of phở tastier.Hành dấm and nước béo are free of charge I think you should try this sometime.
Audrey Nguyen Of course, whenever you order pho they’ll give you lemon wedges. Since there’s a jar of sugar on the table, you can make your own lemonade. Just ask them for a cup of ice water :)
a bowl of phở at Vietnamese restaurant in Maine is much more expensive than a bowl of phở at Vietnamese restaurant in Dallas Texas.I paid $8.95 for a extra large bowl of phở at Vietnamese restaurant in Dallas.
Same with me and real Italian food..when all you can eat is all you know and cans everything is what you relate to Italian food it is an eye opener to see real fresh Italian food that taste different from one another is eye opening
I can recommend the place got name is Bon Mua is on Tran Phu A street nearly the beach in Nha Trang city.that place has natural coffee to people to drink it with experience enjoying coffee.
Audrey, I assume you are married into a Viet husband/family/culture. I’m impressed with your Viet’s pronunciation. And remind your hubby(Incase he hasn’t been reminded lately) that you are one heck of a beautiful catch. Thanks for sharing your cool video!!!
haha no, we are American (mixed with European decent). I am French Canadian and Italian. My sister has a different mom than me so she has a very other heritages, maybe English and Scottish?
As someone else mentioned below, we do not invite the older brothers and sisters to eat as we consider them on equal footing with us at the table. We just invite parents and older folks....if we're proper. Or just give a generic term like "everyone/all" instead of each individual elder if it's a large table full of people. We're probably considered rude/improper with our American ways now. LOL
haha yeah, I guess it's just the way we do it at my husband's home. As I explained to the other person, when I'm in Vietnam I said, "chau mời bà ăn cơm, con mời bố mẹ ăn cơm, em mời anh chị ăn cơm" and then eat. It doesn't take too long and I actually like doing it because I feel closer to the family being respectful of their home culture.
Oh yeah! Shouldn't be a problem finding it, the trick will be finding a place that does it well! I feel like only like 1 out of 5 places I go to actually make a banh mi worthy of initiating someone into the delicious world of banh mi :D
Hmmm well of course the best pho is in Vietnam. In the US sometimes the soup does not taste as flavorful and the noodles are too skinny. They don't get the correct banh pho and sometimes just use skinny noodles. But some places make it pretty good. I haven't tried any pho in California though, I heard the best Vietnamese food in the US is there in "Little Saigon".
Like what Audrey has mentioned is pretty correct :)) From my experience of growing up in a Vietnamese family living outside of VN, our family has always been blessed to enjoy homemade pho made by my mum.. and often we actually prefer eating the dishes made at home than any restaurants, because of how extremely flavourful, richer quality/amounts and of course made with love haha :)) I also like most Vietnamese and asians have many relatives, that have restaurants of the cuisine itself (here in Australia) and they usually would still make it a tiny bit different from how they would make it at home for family, with a difference within the proportions and amounts of the dish (and sometimes it can be expeeeeensive). But oh the convenience! haha I have absolutely nothing against eating out, but just wanted to assure you that you can make those amazing dishes yourself as well! it just take a bit of time and effort... maybe a lot of effort. With practice and time you can surely “master” the art of making pho and the delicious flavourful broth. (wow I am so sorry for this super long “comment” but a round of applause for you, if you made it through to the end ❤️
+senaivi mlo h. yes, that’s also right. Because the parts of California like “Little Saigon” and San Fran. have a huge asian community including Vietnamese, Chinese etc. but also since back in the day when the Vietnamese migrated to the States, a large portion of ppl gathered to the state of California and forming what is now a big tight community of asian Americans. So they have some of the most authentic foods you can find in the U.S :))
When I was in the Army stationed in Hawaii, my 2 Vietnamese buddies took me to Chinatown in Wiakiki and introduced to Bahn mi sandwiches. I couldn't stop eating them. I had 4 in the restaurant and I got 4 to go... I felt like a damn Hobbit. I had breakfast and second breakfast and 11zees, and then lunch. That's how good them sammies are! This was back in 1989 too!!
Haha wow!! That’s a lot! My husband eats one in the restaurant and takes one to go! Haha
Daryll Jimerson haha 😆 👍
You eat like a horse hahaha
Phở and Bánh mì are now already become regular American food, imported by us refugee Vietnamese American. I'm very impress your Vietnamese pronunciation, remember there are two sides of Vietnamese culture...Việt vs Việt +.
I love how educated she is with the Vietnamese culture
Aww thank you! I love to learn this culture because it's meaningful to my husband's family.
Audrey Nguyen I’m Vietnamese and I’m always so happy when I see more people learn about my culture
She got a master degree, so what do you think?
Most people don't know how difficult it is to spontaneously describe a live experience so smoothly and naturally as you did. Many kudos
Thanks so much Minh vu! I am so happy you enjoyed the video! ❤️
You know you are a true pho lover when you pronounce Pho perfectly :D
I am! I wish there was a Vietnamese restaurant closer to where I live. I would get it all the time. :D I'm excited to go back to VN and have the real deal soon! :) Pho Phu Vuong is my favorite!! Soon!
There are 2 types of pho: north pho and south pho, you should try each type when you go back to vietnam, they are different from each other, I think pho you have in america is south pho,sr for my bad english 👍
Was gonna say - ✊️
starkness65 I do!
Bruh no im r ready a vietnamese soooo... phở
This chick enunciates Pho dead on. Even some Vietnamese can’t pronounce on point like that. Bravo.
Thank you! A few people have said the same thing! It's funny because I used to struggle so much a few years back!
I am very impressed your sister the first time eating vietnamese cuisines. She enjoys it. Especially she is not afraid of trying "nuoc mam." Good for you, Brittney! 👍
I was happy she liked the fish sauce too. A lot of Americans think it's a weird idea, even I was skeptical when I first tried it.
Audrey, you are a caring person. The way you took care of your little sister was simply touching. I feel your deep love addressed to your sister. You are both so well educated! Your parents did a good job of raising you guys with manners. It was stunning to watch your sister eating Pho and Bún chả giò with chopsticks for the first time. She was pretty good!

Wow thank you so much for all of the kind comments! I’m so happy that you are able to enjoy my content! Thanks for watching so many videos and being happy!
She had no problem in having a new cuisine. You are such a caring sister Audrey
She’s amazing!
Wow.. Look at the prices on that menu.. 20 years ago a large bowl of pho in Little Saigon is $5-$6 and is now doubled. My salary hasn't gone up that much. How are we going to keep up with inflation. I don't even want to think about my college funds for my kids but you know what? Your videos make me forget all of the world problems and puts me in a more positive outlook on life.. Carry on with your great work, Audrey!
Awwww your comments are seriously making my day!! :) Thanks for supporting!
I'm amazed how she says the correct way of the word pho, most people say it wrong by emphasizing the "o" when it sounds more of an "a"
hehe thanks! It took years of practice (learning Vietnamese) to get it right. :)
I have when people say "faux", I cringe every time. :D
You're a very smart women, wish you the best of luck!
Thank you very much!
Wow the way the pronounce "pho" is so correct. Even better than most Vietnamese.
Years of practice! :)
Mm i suppose its because the different of regions..
Glad your introducing Pho to your family and she's using those Chopstick like a pro! Haha I can't eat Pho with out Hoisan sauce, siracha, and Veggies. Ate Pho when I was 5 months old haha
Pho is one of my favorite foods. I was just working on the English subtitles and had to stop because I haven't eaten breakfast yet and seeing the pho is making me die of hunger! :D Wish we had a Vietnamese restaurant closer to our house.
Wish Viet people live in Maine haha

I noticed Huy is holding a small black camera from the reflection. What model is it? And is it the one that you normally use when you film in front of the brick wall? Thank you.

If you 2 are ever out to Orange County CA to vlog about little Saigon, you can stay at my place :-) My wife thinks you're beautiful!
I had a very nice memory with Phở. Whenever I eat phở, I usually put a lot of basils and corianders in my bowl.
The hủ tiếu bò khò looks very tasty and personally, i always have bánh mì bò kho, not hủ tiếu or mì. And bún thịt nướng looks as if it lacked of some mỡ hành (scallion and oil garnish) , is it right?

“ Em moi anh chi an Pho “ - You speak Vietnamese rather well . You and your sister have very charming smiles :-) :-)
Hello Audrey and Huy, thanks for sharing this video. Your sister is so sweet. I wish you guys bring Britney into your videos more often. I am happy to Audrey having wonderful parents and relatives.
Hi! Thank you! I wish she could be in more videos too but she, along with my family members, live far away from me.
Great video! I love your sister's shirt! The food looks great, especially the second dish that you had. Makes me want to try Vietnamese food now!
Thanks, Steven! You haven't tried Vietnamese food before??!?!?!?
Very nice of you to instructions ur sister how to eat Vn noodle and how to eat Vn food in general. Very cool to see. I am glad she like it too. Well done
Thanks, and thanks for watching! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. :)
SO CUTE! Love the way how you teach you sister Viet culture and how lovely you are
Aww thanks! I thought it would be cool to teach her about it. I can't believe she hadn't eaten Vietnamese food before, but then again, there isn't any where we grew up. This restaurant is 2 hours from our hometown.
Vietnamese coffee goes very well with her T-shirt! LOL!
haha you think so? :)
Glad she was open minded enough to try it and happy she liked the stuff she tried. I love bun thit nuong and would usually order that when everyone else orders pho. LOL. I'd dump the whole bowl of fish sauce and stir and eat away. I figure all the extra sauce just settles to the bottom anyway. LOL! Definitely get her to try banh mi and banh cuon and banh xeo at some point. I bet she'll like it all.
haha yeah if it was only mine that's what I do, dump everything on and go to town! :D Maybe next time she comes to visit me in NJ we can go out to eat in NYC and I'll have her try those dishes too :)
I live it to see Americans enjoying Vietnamese food. 👍
It's a great cuisine!
LOL!! You're so adorable "give it a whiff, smell it what do you think?"
Hahaha :)))
You should try egg soda, 7 color rainbow Desert,sugarcane drink,salty plum.Ox tail pho is also good. Try bun bo hue.
I believe the ngò gai are called sawtooth herbs (?). Not many places in the US serves phở with it though.
Yes!! We actually found a supermarket in NJ that carries it so we are happy :))
In the South, we call it Culantro.
hahaha... love Brittany so much and love seeing her enjoy her experience with Vietnamese cuisine!! been waiting for this clip ❤️
I also think I speak for all of us subbies, when I say we love seeing Huy on the channel so much. Super excited for more of your content Audrey ^^
Yay! I am so happy you like it! I was so excited to share it because I knew it would be interesting for a lot of people here. :D
I love your sisters shirt and attitude!
I’m glad!! Lots of people appreciate her willingness to try new things, myself included!!
What did you teach your sister to say in Vietnamese? I so glad she likes the food! I didn't have Pho until I was in my 20's!
It's a tradition from the North of Vietnam. You always invite the people who are older than you to eat the meal before you begin to eat. "Em mời anh chị ăn phở" was the phrase. :)
Audrey Nguyen Do South Vietnamese not say this?
Audrey pronounce "phở" perfectly. wow YOUR VIETNAMESE IS GETTING BETTER EVERY DAY. CONGRAT
Audrey, from another clip, you said that your family will be in VN for Tet. I hope that you make a clip of flowers market and some kind of a dinner Tet. I have missed all those pictures since 30 years. Thank you very much.
Hi Dat. Yes, I will be sure to take some videos on "flower street" and also the food we eat. Can't wait to share with you! :)
Wow! I didn’t know that there’s a Pho restaurant in Portland, ME. I used to live in New Hampshire. We went up to ME many times, but we always went up there for the lobsters
Missing saw tooth!!!! Thai coriander!!! That’s what he was saying was missing! I ALWAYS put it in my homemade pho! Yum! I’m so glad she liked it! People that say they don’t like it are CRAZY! Its the equivalent of American chicken noodle soup for warmth and comfort. Pho is The Vietnamese food of warmth and comfort!
Yes that’s the one! It’s so good!
How long did it take for you to pronounce "Phở" correctly?
Hmmm maybe 2 years 😂
You are the first caucasian to pronounce "Phở" correctly. Bravo.
hahaha thanks! I know a lot of people say it like "faux"
After watching a few of your videos, I understand why you speak Vietnamese so well. I applaud you and your husband. Love how you get along with your mother in law, I think your father in law loves you too. Learning a new culture of your husband is really tough, you're doing great. Can you believe that 42 years ago the North Vietnamese and Americans were killing each other? Now everybody is getting along and being one huge family. Thanks for sharing your life. Good luck to you and your husband.
Thanks so much. I am so happy to have in-laws who accept me. Of course it's a lot for me to learn but since it's driven by love it's easy. :D And yes, it is crazy how the times have changed for the better. :) Thanks for watching.
Hurray for Britney! Baby steps to the wonderful world of Vietnamese cuisines. Tasty n healthy too! Can't wait to see your vlogs taking Britney n your parents to Vietnam for some major street food experience. But I think we, Americans r already blessed with so many authentic Pho restaurants all over our major US cities. So wanted a bowl of hot aromatic bowl of delicious Pho to cure the winter blues right now! 😉
That would be pretty cool! Maybe someday we can all go!
Audrey Nguyen have you tried Vietnamese dessert? Its quite different.
Yes Audrey! I think your parents opinion will matters greatly in the culinary world toward Vietnamese food. Since both your parents r top chefs. You n Britney are such lucky girls growing up begin served delicious chef quality food on a daily basis. 😆
Yes, it's very different. I prefer American dessert. 😂
hahaha awww you're so sweeeet :)
Wow. I like how perfectly you can say "Phô". It sounds better than when I say it. 😁
Haha seriously?? I guess that’s years of practice!
Haha. Yes.
The way you pronounce "Pho" is so authentic!
:) I try my best :D
We normally have lime, basil, rice paddy herb, sawtooth herb and thai basil here in Vietnam. You can order extra onion, bean sprouts, and chillies ^^
Yum yum yummmm
Very nice and good iinstructor. 👍🏻
I'll go in June to Vietnam to try Pho for first time. 😊
Glad you liked it! I’ll be making a lot of videos of my upcoming Vietnam trip so if you haven’t already subscribed then you should! I’m leaving in 2 weeks and will be there for 17 days.
I enjoy watching your blog a lot 👍n u r so so cute with ur husband , I married an American husband but he doesn’t speak Vietnamese as much as u do ❤️ keep up blogging!!!
Thanks so much! I'm so happy you enjoy my videos. I will keep posting for a very long time, I'm having a lot of fun making videos and chatting to people like you. :) Thanks for watching and have a nice day!
I guess u could say, that this is the day her sis lost her pho-ginity
😂😂😂😂 I’m gonna pop her boba tea cherry this weekend too, can’t wait !
Good to see you guys teach you sister how-to eat Vietnam food
It was a lot of fun!
I start a day with cafe sua da . I love G7 Trung Nguyên , too. But I prefer the coffee made my self, its a mix of Arabica, Robusta , and one more type I forgot the name :)
Sounds good! I actually start my day with a glass of cold water. :D It's all I normally drink. :D Aside from Bubble Teaaaa
Audrey Nguyen bubble tea - trà sữa?
Yes! :D
Your sister uses chop sticks like a pro! Im over here asking for a fork at a pho restaurant. Image the looks i get haha 😛😛😛
hahaha whenever they bring me a fork I'lm like, "excuse me???" hahahah
Glad to see your sister enjoyed eating Viet food. I actually immigrated to the States a little bit 30 years ago. Not many Americans knew about Vietnamese food then. Surprised to see Viet food successfully have entered the American main stream. As a matter of fact, I have had Pho in all over cities in the U.S. and the world because I had spent over 25 years in the U.S. Marines and been stationed in many parts of the States and Asia and the Middle East. Since you're from Italian background, pretty sure you and your sister would like bánh mì. Have you intro Britney to bánh mì?
Yes, I'm glad Vietnamese food isn't too hard to find these days! And I have not shown her the Banh Mi yet, maybe next time she comes to visit me we can go, there are a lot of Vietnamese restaurants in NYC.
every time I eat phở in the Vietnamese restaurant I requested the waitress who took my oder to give me hành dấm (slided white onion in vinegar) and nước béo (fat broth) that make my bowl of phở tastier.Hành dấm and nước béo are free of charge I think you should try this sometime.
Sounds interesting, I’ll have to try it sometime!
we have that herb in Des Moines IA. I get it every time I get pho from my local Vietnamese market
Oh that's good! I really love it!
Do you know that you’ll get free lemonade whenever you order pho?
Not in this restaurant. :(
Audrey Nguyen Of course, whenever you order pho they’ll give you lemon wedges. Since there’s a jar of sugar on the table, you can make your own lemonade. Just ask them for a cup of ice water :)
haha okay! :)
I have heard of and been meaning to try this restaurant. I usually go to Veranda or more recently Pho Hong in Scarborough since I live in old orchard.
It’s pretty good! :))
I like the part where ur sister put like 3 bean sprouts in her bowl, i usually go for a hand full LOL
HAHAH
Nice video....what is the sound track at the end of the video called?
Thank you! The song is called High but I cannot remember the artist!!
@@AudreyNguyenVlogs Found it! JPB - High Thanks for the reply
This is in Maine tho you live in Maine???
a bowl of phở at Vietnamese restaurant in Maine is much more expensive than a bowl of phở at Vietnamese restaurant in Dallas Texas.I paid $8.95 for a extra large bowl of phở at Vietnamese restaurant in Dallas.
I think it was around the same, maybe just a little more.
Amazing Audrey! I like the part em mời anh chị ăn phở! I guess your anterior life was Vietnamese:)!
I completely agree with you!
The missing herb/long leaf is called ngo` gai. It's in the cilantro family but with a stronger taste.
Yeah it can be hard to find on the east coast.
You know Vietnam so well by pronouncing correctly the word Trung Nguyen G7:). It’s amazing!
Hahahahaha thanks! I love Trung Nguyen brand!
After a long hard day, watching you is so relaxing.
It's 10:00 pm in Holland. Good night sweetie, lovely sister.
Sleep tight my love!
Wow your pronunciation is on point! So impressive coming from a Vietnamese who’s handle on the language isn’t that flash lol
Thank you!! It took a lot of practice
Same with me and real Italian food..when all you can eat is all you know and cans everything is what you relate to Italian food it is an eye opener to see real fresh Italian food that taste different from one another is eye opening
True!
HER ACCENT IS SO GOOD WOW IM
You guys are the best!
lol thanks! :)
OMG i love your sister's voice so much
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Is it culantro (ngo gai) that's missing? Is that not common to find in the northern states? And thumbs up for Brittany! Ready for the Real Thing!)
Yes, that's the one! Thanks so much! We cannot find it in the Northern states, no. Where are you from?
I can recommend the place got name is Bon Mua is on Tran Phu A street nearly the beach in Nha Trang city.that place has natural coffee to people to drink it with experience enjoying coffee.
Thank you for introducing Vietnamese coffee to your sister. I like your voice Audrey.
11:09 her face likes " Oh no, I have to eat that sh*ttt"
😂
I love pho, thanks you was intruded Pho with your friend
She is my sister :)
I love your voice. The way you pronounce your Viet is wonderful.
Aww thanks! :)) Hope you enjoy my other videos. We just got back from a trip to Vietnam so I'm sharing all those vlogs.
I love how you say pho
Hehe thanks :)
What do you prefer? Cafe Sua Da made in Vietnam, or made in US?
In Vietnam of course!
Audrey,
I assume you are married into a Viet husband/family/culture. I’m impressed with your Viet’s pronunciation. And remind your hubby(Incase he hasn’t been reminded lately) that you are one heck of a beautiful catch. Thanks for sharing your cool video!!!
Dễ thương quá😊
It’s so cute 😊
❤️❤️❤️
Hi Audrey, are you and your sister mixed?
haha no, we are American (mixed with European decent). I am French Canadian and Italian. My sister has a different mom than me so she has a very other heritages, maybe English and Scottish?
Audrey is awesome!
Thanks!!!
Pho is very easy to eat and the flavor is what you want to put in it
Yes it's so good! I can eat it everyday but it's not close to my home.
Thanks for showing Vietnamese dishes to your 👭.
You’re welcome!! It was my pleasure!
Does your sister live in the same town with you?
No, she lives in Maine and goes to school in Farmington. I am in NJ now.
You are the Best Sister Audrey !!!
Awww thanks!
As someone else mentioned below, we do not invite the older brothers and sisters to eat as we consider them on equal footing with us at the table. We just invite parents and older folks....if we're proper. Or just give a generic term like "everyone/all" instead of each individual elder if it's a large table full of people. We're probably considered rude/improper with our American ways now. LOL
haha yeah, I guess it's just the way we do it at my husband's home. As I explained to the other person, when I'm in Vietnam I said, "chau mời bà ăn cơm, con mời bố mẹ ăn cơm, em mời anh chị ăn cơm" and then eat. It doesn't take too long and I actually like doing it because I feel closer to the family being respectful of their home culture.
They served the coffee straight into a plastic cup?
Yes
Surprised they don’t have cilantro or saw leaf basil.
It’s Maine so
Sauce on the side or in bowl???....
On the side
Depends on my feeling I guess.
Omg,I love PHO!!!!😱😱😋
Aubrey: So this is hoisin sauce.
TH-cam sub: So this is poison sauce.
Love your pronounciation in VNamese....Just perfect!
13:40 lmfao it's ok I can do it myself 😂😂
I’m watching your video at night, now i’m hurry 😢. Tomorrow I actually will eat Phở
It's nice to see you guys tearing up the basil because it brings out the basil flavor even more.
Would be a crime not to! Lol
You’re Vietnamese accent is really good!!
Thank you my dear! :)
Its always great when someone learn another cultures.
It’s very enriching.
You pronounces everything so perfect! Better than me
Next you can show banh mi. Best sandwich ever. Although it is harder to find a really good banh mi than it is pho
Yes I thought of this too! Maybe when my sister comes to visit again we can find a place in NYC that sells it.
Oh yeah! Shouldn't be a problem finding it, the trick will be finding a place that does it well! I feel like only like 1 out of 5 places I go to actually make a banh mi worthy of initiating someone into the delicious world of banh mi :D
Love your sister’s shirt!!!! 😍
I'll let her know! :)
Try durian fruit .one of lovely exsotis
I have tried it and I like it!
Are there any differences between the Vietnamese pho and the pho that's made in the US? What do you prefer?
Hmmm well of course the best pho is in Vietnam. In the US sometimes the soup does not taste as flavorful and the noodles are too skinny. They don't get the correct banh pho and sometimes just use skinny noodles. But some places make it pretty good. I haven't tried any pho in California though, I heard the best Vietnamese food in the US is there in "Little Saigon".
+Audrey Nguyen I also heard about that😉 Because lots of Vietnamese are living there👍
Like what Audrey has mentioned is pretty correct :)) From my experience of growing up in a Vietnamese family living outside of VN, our family has always been blessed to enjoy homemade pho made by my mum.. and often we actually prefer eating the dishes made at home than any restaurants, because of how extremely flavourful, richer quality/amounts and of course made with love haha :)) I also like most Vietnamese and asians have many relatives, that have restaurants of the cuisine itself (here in Australia) and they usually would still make it a tiny bit different from how they would make it at home for family, with a difference within the proportions and amounts of the dish (and sometimes it can be expeeeeensive). But oh the convenience! haha I have absolutely nothing against eating out, but just wanted to assure you that you can make those amazing dishes yourself as well! it just take a bit of time and effort... maybe a lot of effort. With practice and time you can surely “master” the art of making pho and the delicious flavourful broth. (wow I am so sorry for this super long “comment” but a round of applause for you, if you made it through to the end ❤️
+senaivi mlo h. yes, that’s also right. Because the parts of California like “Little Saigon” and San Fran. have a huge asian community including Vietnamese, Chinese etc. but also since back in the day when the Vietnamese migrated to the States, a large portion of ppl gathered to the state of California and forming what is now a big tight community of asian Americans. So they have some of the most authentic foods you can find in the U.S :))
I made it through the end :D
Chị ơi chị vừa biết tiếng anh cả tiếng việt vậy chị làm một vài video dạy tiếng anh đi ạ.
Please do more of these food videos.
Okay, I will try to do more. Maybe I can give my friends a tour of Vietnamese food next. Manasa and Tily? :D
Hi Audrey. The other herb (that you are missing...lol.) is NGO GAI. Love your video. So very down to earth
Thanks for the info! And thanks for watching and leaving a wonderful comment. I appreciate it!
