Bánh cuốn của tui ở đâu rùi? 🤣
That's how Vietnamese food stands out among other countries' cuisines.
Vietnamese food is unique in its flavor and presentation. They are delicious and refreshing change from other cuisines.
Hao hao noodles for 7 days if you a collage student:((
Don’t lie bro you be eating Thit kho 8 days a week 😂
@@SimpleX84 😂
I'm not a chef nor a foodie but I think people underestimate the completeness of all "components" of a banh mi in Vietnam. The baguette is crunchy but not hard, light inside, all of the herbs are fresh, the pickled daikon and carrots are perfect balance of sweet and sourness, and the marinated and seasoned meat and pate and the meat drippings.
A fan from malaysia, nothing can come close to viet's bahn mi... so gooddddddd..
Vietnam is one place I've always wanted to visit, the food is all so amazing.
I gained 20 lbs in Hanoi because of that sandwich
Sounds like a good time! 🤤
that why we don't eat bánh mì everyday :)) U will be really fat
Hehe
How long it take you to gain ?
How many sandwiches you eat a days I wonder?
🤗💙😃🌭
*WELCOME TO VIỆT NAM 🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳*
bahn mi is the king of sandwiches , no doubt
The food culture in Viet Nam is the best I've ever experienced.. Calvin is in best food review enthusiasm mode .
Thanks for watching user!
Vietnamese cuisine ist the best compared to others
@@thaovu3829 Ờ mày ko phải nhắc đâu .họ khen thật đấy .Ko phải tự mình khen mình vậy đâu xấu hổ lắm
Bahn Mi is definitely my favorite sandwich.
Hits all the notes you could ever want
Banh mi
Honestly banh mi is far better than a normal sandwich ham , egg , bacon and cheese toasted . In Australia everyone from every culture love Vietnamese banh mi ( pork roll ) which sale in every Vietnamese groceries market . Banh mi not just only pork but also chicken , duck even fish .
tbh a lot of bahn mi in Australia are better than in Vietnam. For one, outside the tourist areas, the bahn mi can be ridiculously small, so most western guys would need 2 of them. But in oz, they usually lack pork floss and just have crushed crackling instead
What about banhmi dog. Been looking allover vn no luck homie
honestly it isn't
@@billlam7756nếu bạn muốn ăn thì tự mua thịt chó về tự kẹp vào.
@@billlam7756 noone here in Vietnam eat like that, tf wrong w/ you mate
The food culture in Viet Nam is the best I've ever experienced.
Seared slabs of roasted pork belly is definitely my favorite meat variation for Bahn Mi. Just such a nice contrast to the freshness of the veggies, acid from the pickles and heat from the chiles and/or sandwich sauce.
How good is pork belly Banh Mì!
That crackling yum... just wish more made their own in Australia cos most just big pork crackles :( not the same
@@ryandarey216lyeah Banh Mi outside of Viet Nam is just not the same 😅
Vietnam is one of the great culinary destinations of the world. Mindblowing! Enjoy Andy.
The pickled Daikon Radish is what really makes a fantastic Bánh Mi. It's not as common as I'd like but as an ingredient it's what elevates it to the next level. Birds Eye Chillies also are so good!
It is Banh mi, B-A-N-H, not Bahn.
@@huuduyvu9714 it's a typo, relax.
I went to Vietnam for a month, did so much walking and hiking but didn’t lose any weight because of this sandwich haha. It’s the best. Vietnamese food in general is incredible but this sandwich is insane.
Vietnamese food is not that good, have you been to thailand?
@@XBoxwolfMaybe Vietnamese foods doesn't fit your tastes but it is for the others ( sorry for broken grammar, im not US native or English native )
@@XBoxwolflots of Vietnamese food are better than Thailand food
@@nah131 yea my subjective opinion. Thai food has more spices more and herbs. If someone likes a food with a lot of flavor they will like Thai food. So Sicuan Chinese people ,Mexican, Peruvian peoples would most likely prefer thai food But if one likes bland good that is not too spicy or salty or sweet. Then they will like vietnamese food better. Norway, Colombia etc. ,
thai food are mostly salty and spicy , vietnamese food is more balance in taste@@XBoxwolf
This sandwich should be always be #1
Antony Bourdaine was the chef/journalist that introduced me to Vietnam's amazing food, culture and people!
We travelled to Vietnam a few years ago and became hooked on bahn mi!
Best we had while over there was down on the island of Phu Quoc, it was made with the usual suspects but instead of pork floss there was moist roast pork and they included the pork crackle with the salads as a garnish... Omg still drool thinking about them ❤️❤️❤️
I will be there in a couple of days, do you remember where was it? 🥲😅
🙏
I ❤ Banh Mi.
Best sandwich in the world.
I'm from Vietnam and I so proud to see you came to visit our country and try our traditional food, there are many kind of Bánh Mì you can try like Bánh Mì Que, Bánh Mì Chảo, Bò Né, beside the Bánh Mì, you can try Phở, Bún Bò,Bánh Cuốn,Bún Chả, Hủ Tiếu, Cơm Tấm,Xôi Mặn Sài Gòn....Hope you enjoy it! You all welcome to Vietnam. From Vietnam with love ❤❤❤❤
You are nice. ❤😊
Nah !!!
Same here
Banh mii has gotta be my most favourite style of sandwich I’ve eaten.
The ingredients are okay, but it’s the combination of all these flavours that gives banh mi a complex, unique rainbow of flavours!
Even the sound of the traffic and hustle bustle takes me back there.
Amazing place and such beautiful people
Nice! I regret not trying a banh mi during my short visit to the north of Vietnam (Hanoi, Ninh Binh, Sapa,Bac Ha, Lao Cai). I’ve always loved a good banh mi, and am so thankful that the Vietnamese refugees that I worked with in the early 80’s Silicon Valley electronics industry introduced me to the culture, language, cuisine (and the feminine beauty) of Vietnam, and took me to San Jose’s evolving Little Saigon for the first of countless visits. My favorite version of the icon sandwich would be the banh mi thit nuong, featuring the smoky, sweet, salty and savory charcoal grilled pork marinated in aromatic lemongrass, nuoc mam fish sauce and a host of other ingredients, with extra pate and the optional fried egg. My love of the banh mi truly developed thanks to the Vietnamese mom & pop deli/sandwich/mini marts, one very close to SJSU’s old campus library, where a banh mi could be had for USD $1.50, a banh bao dac biet combo steamed bun with minced pork, a piece of Chinese sausage and half a hard boiled egg for $1, and a pate chaud puff pastry filled with minced pork for $0.50, plus $0.50 for a can of cold coffee with milk & sugar. There was also a Vietnamese restaurant right across from the college library with an excellent ‘fish and shrimp stewed in the pot’, with a small catfish steak and 5 or 6 shrimp tails simmered in a caramelized sugar, nuoc mam fish sauce & fresh ground black pepper sauce that was sweet, salty, savory and black pepper hot, which went perfectly over jasmine rice, with hot jasmine tea as a beverage and a ca phe sua da iced strong Trung Nguyen Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk. Another Vietnamese restaurant up Fourth Street had an excellent Vietnamese style dry coconut chicken curry that was a favorite on mine. Now in SoCal, I can enjoy the benefits of the largest Little Saigon in the US located in Orange County, which host an authentic summer Vietnamese night market with lots of outdoor street food vendors, plus a two week Tet Cho Hoa Flower and Night Market annually around the Lunar New Year.
🤗💙👍
I loved Vietnam when I was there! Hoping to go back and travel more and experience more great food! Highly recommend visiting this beautiful country with even more beautiful people in it xx 🇦🇺
Calvin is in best food review enthusiasm mode 😅
I thought it was cringy cheesy American presenter mode... kinda ruined the vid for me
Each to their own I guess
@@CustardCream33 yeah agree this guy ruins the video i thought he was going to contribute some local insight but was left disappointed and annoyed
@@2stroke979 yeah provided no useful info just fake energy 🤣
@@CustardCream33 It’s inescapable, man. Regardless of what one may think about the ethics of the current military rivalry in Eastern Europe, destroying American cultural influence is paramount. Culture is not down-stream from politics despite what many new age political theorists say. Culture is a top down phenomenon that originates from military power.
nah not a fan, I know him, I met him, maybe I'm just too introverted but the guy just rubbed me wrong somehow.
100% top 5 global sandwich varieties!
But to be fair, in reality the consumer experience is somewhat different if you don't have a camera / crew with you 😢
After touring Vietnam and Cambodia for some time myself, the reality is in fact a much less filled, yet equally delicious Banh Mi.
Please don't think that if you're traveling to Vietnam for Banh Mi you'll experience a stuffed 'Subway' baguette. You won't... But what you will experience is one of the freshest, crispiest, fluffiest sub filled with freshly cooked meat and veggies served with love 🤤
As a Viet, you make me so happy and proud of my people’s food.
would it be considered a travesty if I season my Banh Mi with fish sauce? I acquired this taste when I statyed for a bit in Myanmar
You should be proud viet food is the best
@@moshedimawalaadormeonah its a banh mi it literally just means sandwich you can put anything you want in it
@@jamiele8502but the important thing here is the technique in balancing the flavour. If you just put random things into your Bánh Mì, it’d become something wayyy more differrent than the traditional version
@@jamiele8502 nah banh mi actually means bread
This video should come with a warning: do *NOT* watch when hungry!
Nice work Chef (AND Calvin) 👊🏻
Thanks gringo!
Love Vietnam every city has their own style of banh mi , and their specialty dish ❤❤❤❤❤ great video Andy brings back good memories
This makes me miss my hometown so so much
Between Pho and Banh mi alone the Vietnamese cuisine deserves to be in the world’s top 10
That's just scratching the surface...go out and find com tam, bun cha, bun thit nuong, nem nuong, cha gio (Vietnamese fried spring rolls which are the best of all the eggrolls out there - it's also eaten differently than how other ethnicities eat as it is wrapped up in greens and herbs then dipped in flavored fish sauce), bun bo Hue, banh cuon, banh xeo, bo ne, etc.
@@doodahgurlie no doubt, working on it
For real!
Watching your video makes me want to visit Vietnam again. I'm in love with that country.
The amount of great ingredients - Impressive. The low price for the amount of food you get - Even more impressive. The fact that you could say the word "dong" with a straight face - Unrivaled.
I love this series of yours!!! It's so enlightening and joyous to see first hand what a local dish is all about and the variations of it. Thank you for showing us ❤
2 of my fav Bánh Mì variations are Bánh mì chả lụa (VNese pork roll + cucumber+ dipping pepper salt) and Bánh mì trứng ốp la ( sunny side up fried eggs+ cucumber+ soy sauce) .So simple yet so gooddddd 😍
Those are vietnamese breakfast. I have banh mi, vietnamese egg mayo, egg, salt and pepper. That's my goto breakfast. No need for complications.
@@damiann4734 gonna give it a taste 🤙
Just got back from HCMC, amazing Banh Mi everywhere. But you cannot go past Bánh Cuốn!
I agreed with you
wow it means that you can bear fish sauce 😮 I am so happy and such an honor that you like banh cuon 🥰🥰
Wait til u try banh cuon in the north
Bahn mi is the King of Sandwiches
Great to see Calvin be a part of his episode. He is a great guide for HCM with a great sense of humor. Always great to see Calvin with Sonny from Best Ever Food Review. Great job exploring the many variations of Banh Mi. I'm jealous out here in the States!
Vietnam is a wonderful country, the people are friendly, the scenery is beautiful
There many cooking shows out there so it can be hard to decide which ones to dedicate my time to. Your approach is so genuine and kind and the more I watch the more I want to see. Thank you, Andy, your family and team for all your hard work.
Calvin and Andy goofing off is the best. Great chemistry!
Thanks for the support mah!!!
When I was in Vietnam 4 years ago the average street side banh mi was 50c, some were as cheap as 30c. The most expensive I got was maybe $4 for a gourmet version. It’s interesting to see how the pandemic has affected the prices of these sandwiches. Still well worth it for $3-$5!
Average banh mi is still 15-20k dong though. These place, they're not cheap even 5 years ago. The price did go up but not that much.
It's 12aud here for a not just an OK banh mi lol
You are being over-charged probally, the average Banh Mi in Ha Noi probally won't cost anything more than 1.5$ and in my region you can get 4 for 1$.
Its currently usually 80c-$1 at cheaper places. Around $1.5-$2.5 for gourmet ones. I haven't seen anything $3 and above, unless it's banh mi chao (banh mi with hot ingredients served on a hot pan), though that one's cheating a little because you can eat one serving with 2+ pieces of bread.
@@khongnoi1012 I don't understand - you dispute what you're seeing in the video?
this series is incredible Andy. keep up the good work!
One of the better Banh Mi review videos. Less Fluff, concise, to the point! Love it
A wonderful tour of various banh mi! We have a couple versions in here in Toronto and I could see the French influence in the sandwich but you have expanded my knowledge about this fusion of cultures. Looking forward to seeing your version Andy. Thanks so much!
I need to go to Vietnam... 🙂
Banh Mi is possibly my favorite Asian food, the best one I had was in Hanoi a few years back.
Love the banh mi..I am fortunate that near me there is a viatnamese open banh mi stahl. Best sandwich!
Love this deep dive series. The respect you are paying to the food and the cultures behind them is what we need more of. Keep up the awesome work.
I'm mad for Bahn Mi, thanks for the tips in VN. Can't wait to visit. Hi from Newcastle, Australia. 🥖❤️🌏
Bánh Mì☺️😊
Luckily there is a huge Viet community in Berlin, so I can enjoy a variety of banh mi
I had been to vietnam back in may and boy did I have a lot of banh mi
I truly miss that cuisine
I did not expect to see Calvin on your channel! Thanks for showcasing the best sandwich in the world
Always enjoyed these sandwiches every Friday after school in bankstown Sydney
You barely scratched the surface for banh mi...so many different kinds/combinations out there. I love the pork bell one, but he didn't answer when it was created. I'd say over 50 years ago at least because I grew up eating something similar and I'm decades old. My dad made a char sieu version that I loved growing up using pork belly. That last one looks amazing...but a wee bit too much meat, even for a meat lover like me. Needs more of a balance between meet and bread ratio.
Definitely needs more meat 😅
yesssss. it's a sandwich not a pie, the meat should defo not thicker than the bread. This such a pet peeve of mine.
I wish I can teleport to Asia any day of the week to have their street food. It is just the best
Wow, I'm excited to see your journey in Ho Chi Minh City exploring the delicious Vietnamese Banh Mi! Your dedication to understanding traditional styles and modern twists is admirable. Can't wait for next week's recipe video, where you'll surely share the best recipes for us to recreate at home.
Sending love from the US, please stop focusing on the negative comments. Please just do your thing! Stop caring about the negative comments!
banh mi is my daily breakfast ❤
I just love your expression on each and every video that you have shared with us.
Man I love this channel.. so pure.
OMG its Calvin! What a great Collab
Thanks for watching dynamics!!!
I love Calvin!
And I love you too Jenny ❤
I’m happy to see you’re in my home country! I’m here as well. Much love from the US!
Nice. I miss Australian Bahn Mi 😢 living in the US every Bahn Mi has giant slices of Jalapeño on it which ruins them. Cannot get anyone to put birdseye chili on there. 😢
You must not live near a large Vietnamese population, then. Where I am in Texas, there's plenty of Asian markets with all specific ingredients you'd need.
@@VirginiaBronson oh I can make it myself (I have). I'm in SF and there are lots of places that make Bahn Mi, both fancy and simple, but all with Jalapeno instead of birdseye :(
@@tarwin oh, okay.
@@tarwin In Vietnam, the two common pepper use for pepper is Birdseye pepper and banana pepper, but I see most of the vendors use banana pepper. Or if you found any Vietnamese coriander/laksa lead, buy it. Vendors also use that leaf to stuff in the banh mi. It provides a minty and earthy flavor to it.
Love this series. Vietnamese food is very deep with a LOT of variety. You can easily go for months eating different things everyday.
Every single one of these sandwiches looks delicious. Thanks for the great video.
These two are such a great duo!
🎉 Love the series, Andy ! May want to visit Vietnam just for these...or maybe just wait for the cookbook 😊
I remember eating one of these and everyone curious about it when I was in secondary school. Fast forward to today, almost everyone I meet have had them and love them!
Andy + Calvin have good chemistry.
Thank you for watching kay!!!
Yay, Andy and Calvin Collaborating!!!!!!! This is so awesome
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for watching Leah!!!
This is awesome, more vids like this please Andy and team 👌
What I love, is the respect shown towards the chef when making the short rib banh mi. Much respect Chef!!! Loving the vibes.
Thank you for your video!! One thing, the sauce for Bánh mì is not just normal soy sauce. In my city (hue city), the sauce is one of the most important parts to set your bánh mì apart from other bánh mì stalls so they really have all sorts of secret recipes to make the sauce delicious. Also, bánh mì varies greatly depends on where you eat it, maybe you can try bánh mì from other regions next time you're in Viet Nam!
Great episode! Calvin Bui so knowledgeable and just a great influencer. We love banh mi!!!
started watching this channel from" Bae, what u want for dinner ", this mtfk has gained interest from me. Now seeing him in VN and paying a lot of interest in our cuisine, this channel has also gained a huge respect from me for bringing the cuisine to the world. Please try some more dishes of VN before getting back home with a bag of regrets.
Much love from Vietnam
CALVIN!!!! 💪🏾
Janay!!!!!!! ❤
Banh mi should be n° 1 for sure
My all time favorite eats 🤤
Thank you for coming to Vietnam
I love Banh Mi. I can eat it for lunch everyday
I love seeing Calvin so polite rofl
Thanks for watching Jess!!
REALLY ENJOYED THIS EPISODE!
welcome to Vietnam Andy, hope you have a wonderful trip
love the origin-series
We are currently here. The Bahnmi from Bahnmi Huyhn Hoa is life changing, ill never see sandwich the same way again! I’m tearing up a little knowing I wont be tasting it again after this trip!
This is so fun to watch, i hope to see more of your travels around the world about food
I really like how candid and down to earth your videos are, really good watch
Man it’s so awesome that you are falling into role of traveling around and meeting people. Would love to see it more Bourdain style. Like you sitting, drinking and eating with the tour guides and locals. Would be so awesome! But loving the show none the less!
As a local, Huynh Hoa is one of the big name of Banh Mi brand but they are not the best imo. Their price is a bit higher than average and so does the contents of Banh Mi but me and most of my friends after eating Huynh Hoa all said there is nothing special, just bigger , more meat in Banh Mi. You should try more, there are many variation of Banh Mi, one of my favorite is Banh Mi with pork belly and sweet fish sauce
My man! Loving these videos
mean Andy and Calvin, thats the energy brothers. Loved it
Thank you for watching gazza!!!
Looks delicious 🤤 all of them look great
I'm in Melbourne and something I invented for my self and you must try If you happen to find a hybrid cafe (viet + western sandwitches), try a Banh Mi with the traditional condiments but replace the main meat with a chicken shnitzel!
Only been watching this channel for about a week but it's amazing!!
We’re Canadian, LIVING in Vietnam🤌🤭🤭🤭❣️ we should meet for some of the best food in every district!!! Each one has its specialty🤌❣️
Great video, love your content. Also, it was very cool seeing Calvin with you.
