I've QUIT my job of to live a dream of travelling round the world alone, and I set off SOON. So excited, will be documenting my experiences on TH-cam. I spent 1700$ on A new camera (Samsung NX1) also being only 21 years old im a young traveler and im just a regular guy doing what many wants to do but don't . everyone can make it happen! your the man Mark!
I recently stumbled onto your videos and probably watched about 100 of them in a week's time lol! The great thing about you Mark, that is different from the majority of food bloggers, is that you are always so kind and humble to the cultures and especially, the people you meet. You may not fully understand what the dish is, and some times you may even dislike it a bit, but you are still respectful of it. This is why I love Andrew Zimmern also, because you both may not know exactly what you are eating nor even "understand" fully what the dishes are made of, you still are very sincere and humble. You seriously need to get on TV man!
Your sound from the video is great.Hahaha, True, 100. But really his fans get hooked to his adventures. And Mark is soo obsessed with his food. Really funny to watch. We laugh our butts off. Mark sounds like a professional food critic. He only compliments the food, but he goes to great places. He soo much enjoy and appreciate every bite of it. Very convincing. According to him, you have to travel for the food. And I am afraid, he is probably also right about that.
I am a pork freak....that looked so good and all that smokiness YUM!!!! There is nothing like egg added to meat....protein on protein. Like a bacon and peanut butter sandwich YUM. So good to know the recommendation of a viewer hit the mark with you.
marc..we have to talk...last year my mother saw your videos and..wanted to visit bangkok..as a good boy and son i made that trip with mum..and it was the greatest time i ever had with my mother...now you are posting videos of saigon with great food..and my mother thought..well..we could go to bangkok and see all the things we missed last time and then be in saigon for some days.. so...time to book flights...see you in bangkok or saigon some day :-)) another yummy video ..thanks marc
Mark, the reason why your videos are so addictive is because of your love and passion for food which shows when you eat them. I like watching you swirl your head and make facial expressions which viewers use as a cue to rate the food which wouldn't have been possible if your reaction was muted or subdued. I kinda feel that I can almost taste the food myself that you feature in your videos. Way to go and keep it up.
this is literally 100 yards from my home. I'm in Japan now and watching this is making me reminiscing about my days in Vietnam. I used to skip morning classes just so I can buy a box of rice here - sometimes for my friends who are also enthusiasts of this dish (in Vietnam school lasts from 7am to 5pm and you can't get out of school during lunch breaks). thank you for being to my country and advertising its cuisine to the world.
When are you and your wife coming back to state ? We would want to invite you two for home cook by my wife. She does cook some famous Vietnamese foods.
Hi Mark, I'm Vietnamese, but I'm living in United States now. I'm 17 and I've spent 15 years in Vietnam. Because of getting away from Vietnam not for so long, so I'm kind of remember everything in Vietnam, especially THAT , Cơm Tấm Ba Ghiền . I ate at that restaurant a lot and it tastes real good . I saw your video so suddenly that it reminds me a lot about my country . Then I started to see almost all of your video about Vietnamese food . Thank you Mark , for all of your compliments for my country's food . I really appreciate that . Hope you have a very nice trip in Vietnam ( well if you're still in Vietnam )....and be careful of the traffic ( trust me, I love my country but,..) Love, Thy Pham P/s: I'm sorry if my grammar has something wrong.
Thy Pham you should try some place at District 6, near by Hau Giang bridge, there are good place and cheaper too, I think you must try it when you comeback our country. Thanks all.
Thank you for the recommendations! Went here with two friends after a big night out and loved it! Also did waterfall chicken, Banh Mi in the dark street alley, and the lunch lady! Time spent well in Ho Chi Minh :) My friends said they were glad I was around to take them to all these places, otherwise they wouldn't have known! We went on a little food safari and loved them all, thanks Mark! :)
Mark, the "meat loaf" item you're talking about is called "chả trứng". It's made of ground pork, small glass noodle strings, egg (which is the yellow surface). Which are then steamed in a container that's not unlike one that's used to make the American meatloaf.
I giggle every time you do the head roll. It's very unique and I feel like you're genuinely enjoying the food, which makes my foodie heart very happy. Love your videos! They're informative and immersive. Keep it up Mark!
Mark, I left my country forty years ago, don't know if I ever have chance to go back but by look at your eyes popping out enjoy the food that I grew up with made me so proud of my motherland thank you.
that egg was cooked to perfection. I am sure a lot of people master the pork chop, but few master the egg. I was just wondering how we get food from Com Tam Ba Ghien to New York, Paris, Frankfort, London and and and? For some stuff, we have 3D printers, now we need 3D cooking. I am thinking about a restaurant that prepares food according to TH-cam specs...ty, chris
just try any vietnamese restaurant. It should be under Cơm Tấm (they should have 2 to choose from, special and regular. The special includes one egg and other condiments such as the egg and the meatloaf). Try around and find the perfect Côm Tâm in your location. P.S they already invented 3D cooking printer (they haven't found a way to heat the food but they pre-make pizzas (macaroons, pasta etc) and all you have to do is cook it. look it up) :D
in Việt Nam they said that the 3 factors that make this broken rice so delicious are pork chop, the Fish sauce, and the broken rice. they have their special recipe for pork chop and the Fish sauce so it's special than any other place Broken rice
Lucky for me I'm a Vietnamese, I eat this dish at least once a week for the last 5 years since I move to Hanoi. Gosh I love it so much that my friends hate me for inviting them to eat this with me a lot of time. The yellow cover you mentioned is actually egg. Nice work Mark, hope you have a great time in my country!
That looks so delicious Mark. You're inspiring me to visit Vietnam. Thinking I might extend my stay in SE Asia and visit the area. I'm setting off on my round the world trip tomorrow, first stop Bangkok! So excited :D
Mark i like that you are quite nice to your fans. I hope you show off some of the fans that say hi to you if ever in your future videos! Thanks for making these awesome food travel vids.
Hi Ying & Mark, This is one of my favorite dishes to order when in a Vietnamese restaurant. The yolk bursting out of the fried egg when you cut into it was so mouthwatering and vivid! Jim.
thank you Mark for all your work and compassion for different cultures around the world. I wish you all the best in your health and safe travels as you do the things you love! thank you again!! (:
Awesome like always Mark, of Vietnamese food review! .Thanks for always being there for your TH-cam viewer's. With respect Mr.Molina San Diego California!
I am a foodie with an allure for exotic foods and places. Watching your videos is an experience for me. I always each watch video 2x, first is for your descriptions and the view of the food. 2nd view is for your facial expressions and the background activities. I plan to visit Asia (various countries) and will most likely eat from the places you enjoy. You are Humble and appear to be gracious to the places you dine. You are awesome and I wish you great success.
I watched this video three times since it's been out. I'm "liking" it today because I forgot to and because everyone should like Mark's videos, he's a great guy and deserves it
Sang Tan Le I disagree. What he had was thai chilli which is, despite being at the bottom of hot chillies, still has scoville heat units of 50000-100000 which is 23 times the avg heat of jalapeño
usually when people eat chilli like that it means the food is no good they rather taste chilli than the food.. I do that if food no good i rather eat chilli than the food.
tommy m disagree, maybe because you can’t handle the heat. To me, all food taste better with chilies. Do you know that I have to add more chilies into the Korean noodles challenge style?
LOVE this dish. The pork is so delicious with all the accompaniments. Drooling. BTW, the way I'd eat it is to break the egg and allow the yolk to drip over everything. Dowse it all with the fish sauce and take a big bite with everything in it (egg, pork, meatloaf, etc....the perfect combination).
This place was near by my childhood house, and now I'm living at the U,S. But I still miss Com Tam Ba Ghien, it was so good, no other places "Com Tam" are better than this restaurant. It's established over 10 years and I ate that seem like 2 3 times/week when I was there. And also I really love your reaction when u taste the food, I know Com Tam Ba Ghien is so good, I will do the same thing as I eat it :) since I watched this video, I know you are interested to it. SaiGon is a perfect place to eat and play. Love your video man.
I really like the energy and ambient in this video. Also, the food looks amazing. My wife and I will be going to Saigon soon for about a month. We are looking forward to visit this restaurant while we are in Vietnam. Thanks again for this great video.
That place used to be my favorite place to eat for broken rice. I want some right now, I haven't eat it since 8 years already. I love your video!! Watching every single one right now (: Thank you for all of the videos, it reminded me of my homeland. BTW, the yellow thing on the "meatloaf" is the egg yolk. In Vietnamese, we called it 'chả chưng ' I'm glad that you enjoyed our Vietnamese food. I'll try to remember what was my favorite food in Vietnam so I can recommend you to go eat it ^^
Great video. This dish is my absolute favorite at the various Vietnamese restaurants in Phoenix and Tucson. The one advantage with the broken rice is that it captures the grease and the juices of the pork chop. In some places in this area, there is a tendancy to overcook the pork chop.
THis is one of my favorite dish in Vietnam, I live in Phnom Penh and only found about 2 places that sell Com Tam. My mouth was drooling while watching this video, and I just had lunch 2 hours ago hahaha :)
I definitely sure you will find many grilled and rice around the city with different styles and flavors. Your video is very lovely! I watched your video at night and can't stand looking your way of eating!
Thank you Mark for this video and your collab with KyleLeDotNet. I actually grew up really close to Com Tam Ba Ghien and lemme tell you I miss it every single day.
Mark wien, you are doing such a great job on eating around the world, good for you just keep on eating. And be gracious, as you always is. Have fun mark wien.
Mark I love all you Videos . Many greetings from Germany. I travel a lot through Asia and South East Asia. And I love the Asian cuisine is the best in the world.
Wow. WOOW. I just found your channel couple minutes ago and I've suscribed as fast as I could. I'm vietnamese but I was born in France, I know most of the dishes you've eaten but it still makes me want to travel all the way there to my homeland to taste all these stuff again, with the real ingredients etc. I don't know if you're still in VN but you have to try "com chay" it's a snack that's crazy delicious that's made out of dried and crispy rice and it's literally the best thing I've ever eaten. Unfortunately it's only sold in VN and I can't alway take a bite of it whenever I want to.
I shouldn't have watched this right before bed! The good thing is I live near garden grove CA (largest Viet population outside Vietnam) so I'll make sure to get broken rice soon. Great video Mark.
I am only half vietnamese and the other half Irish, but I remembered one time my dad took me to a restaurant serving a similar dish as yours and he said that the yellow stuff is egg. Thanks for the great video!
Wow this is my favourite dish Com Tam Dac Biet ( Combination Pork Chop ).I miss my Country Food so much,and I live in Australian for 32 yrs and I come to Australia since 1984 when I was 11 yrs old .Our Food Back Home is Always taste the best and is really Cheaper Price Over there.Make Wiens you chose the right country to go there and eat. The Best Food Ever In The World!!! :-):-):-)
I watch a lllll your videos, even after the gym. This is one of my favourites!!! I always look forward to seeing the new videos :) Now my whole family watch them lol
I am also a chili addict. Appreciate Mark's very clear pronunciation of English, which make it quite easy not to miss a word of what he says. Vietnamese food is (still) not common in our country.
Mark, thanks. you're making me very hungry. Thanks goodness we have a lot of Vietnamese restaurants in San Diego. I'll be in Bangkok on Feb. 10 eating street food and that is also thanks to you for making me wanted to do that. A month in Thailand should be good enough to hit most of the places you have recommended in your video.
Mark Wiens Thank you, Mark. I will enjoy all those good foods, especially Kua OV. A must place for me to visit. My coworkers couldn't believe I am taking a month off just to do this. As soon as my boss mentioned we will be slow for February and March, my vacation request along with the flight was on his desk . Opportunity does not come often. I told my subordinates try to get along without me for a month. My others coworkers just can not believe my boss let me take a month off.
Lisa Elliott Fantastic, enjoy your trip! Try to go to Krua OV about 11 am or so, so you have the most choice for food. I'm not sure if they will have the "khao chae" as it's a summer dish, but they will have many other choices.
Mark.. you are very cool! Keep sharing, I just discovered your videos couple of days ago, and I love each one. I am Indian married to Vietnamese, so this is beyond cool for me to see. One of these days, I am definitely going to visit Vietnam. :-))))
This is one of the best video as broken rice is my favourite dish specially the pork...Yum.Yum...Thank for the video Mark and you enjoy more food in Saigon.⊙_⊙
Mark Wiens I went here based on your youtube. The meal was good - we got the dish with everything and it took an effort to finish it all. The dish is now 88,000 VND - I noticed our dish also had a Chinese sausage in it. Coke was 12,000VND a can with a glass filled with ice - so all up 100,000VND each. Not cheap by VN standards - but as your video pointed out - the quality was hard to beat. We got there after the lunch crowd at about 3pm and the main seating area was closed but the remaining area was pretty busy with people coming and going. Look forward to trying some of your other recommendations when I next make it to Saigon.
I am getting hungry and salivating rn before taking my exam. Dammit man, now all I can think about is just this food and not having full focus on the exam.
+songainlover if you want to eat them( broken rice with grill pork - the same Mark was eat ), you should go to address 84 Đặng Văn Ngữ-ward 1- Phú Nhuận district. i'm vietnamese and i hope you will like it when you reach VN :)
I’m Chinese but I use a lot of Viet dishes in my weightlifting bulking routine. Pork Chop with broken rice & 2 fried eggs is a meal I eat almost daily and it’s one of the best anaerobic dishes out there IMO
Mark, watching this at noon made me so hungry. Reminded me when I was in Saigon a few years back that I had Com Tam in the morning daily. Thank you for the delicious video,now I am drooling.
I've QUIT my job of to live a dream of travelling round the world alone, and I set off SOON. So excited, will be documenting my experiences on TH-cam. I spent 1700$ on A new camera (Samsung NX1) also being only 21 years old im a young traveler and im just a regular guy doing what many wants to do but don't . everyone can make it happen! your the man Mark!
haha good luck man wish you the best stay safe!
I like this idea a lot I wish I could do it

good luck on your adventure!
I wish you good luck man ... if you post videos please share a link of your channel. I love travelling ... unfortunately can't do like Mark

Tam Tran Hi Tam, this really means a lot to me, huge thank you, really appreciate your support.
Your sound from the video is great.Hahaha, True, 100. But really his fans get hooked to his adventures. And Mark is soo obsessed with his food. Really funny to watch. We laugh our butts off.

I totally agree with you Tam Tran! Great work Mark Wiens!
Tam Tran +1 on that one. A really humble & nice guy. Really good food host.
I am a pork freak....that looked so good and all that smokiness YUM!!!! There is nothing like egg added to meat....protein on protein. Like a bacon and peanut butter sandwich YUM. So good to know the recommendation of a viewer hit the mark with you.
marc..we have to talk...last year my mother saw your videos and..wanted to visit bangkok..as a good boy and son i made that trip with mum..and it was the greatest time i ever had with my mother...now you are posting videos of saigon with great food..and my mother thought..well..we could go to bangkok and see all the things we missed last time and then be in saigon for some days..
so...time to book flights...see you in bangkok or saigon some day :-))
another yummy video ..thanks marc
30chrismuc Haha, thank you so much for sharing, this is awesome. Hope you can visit Saigon soon, and say hello to your mother for me!
Welcome to Viet Nam.
Have fun in my country ;)
Mark, the reason why your videos are so addictive is because of your love and passion for food which shows when you eat them. I like watching you swirl your head and make facial expressions which viewers use as a cue to rate the food which wouldn't have been possible if your reaction was muted or subdued. I kinda feel that I can almost taste the food myself that you feature in your videos. Way to go and keep it up.
Lokman Rana Hi Lokman, thank you very much for your kind words, and I appreciate your support. Many more food videos to come.
this is literally 100 yards from my home. I'm in Japan now and watching this is making me reminiscing about my days in Vietnam.

My wife and I love all your videos..thanks for the time and effort making them. It's good to know someone like you love eating our Vietnamese foods.
Vinh Nguyen Thank you very much Vinh
When are you and your wife coming back to state ? We would want to invite you two for home cook by my wife. She does cook some famous Vietnamese foods.
Vinh Nguyen Thank you Vinh, what part of the States are you living in?
Northern Virginia.

P/s: I'm sorry if my grammar has something wrong.
Thy Pham you should try some place at District 6, near by Hau Giang bridge, there are good place and cheaper too, I think you must try it when you comeback our country. Thanks all.
i love his "stevie wonder" happy head and neck roll :0)
This is the best porkchop video I have ever seen in my life. Who agrees like the comment
me
Thank you for the recommendations! Went here with two friends after a big night out and loved it! Also did waterfall chicken, Banh Mi in the dark street alley, and the lunch lady! Time spent well in Ho Chi Minh :) My friends said they were glad I was around to take them to all these places, otherwise they wouldn't have known! We went on a little food safari and loved them all, thanks Mark! :)
Mark, the "meat loaf" item you're talking about is called "chả trứng". It's made of ground pork, small glass noodle strings, egg (which is the yellow surface). Which are then steamed in a container that's not unlike one that's used to make the American meatloaf.
Hi, i just want to complement that the top yellow mass is sometimes cooked only from the yolk part of eggs.
By the way, welcome to Vietnam!!!
called quiche
anh nguyen Thank you Anh
anh nguyen In my hometown they call it "mộc" :v
steamed "vietnamese meatloaf" is correctly easy too
I giggle every time you do the head roll. It's very unique and I feel like you're genuinely enjoying the food, which makes my foodie heart very happy. Love your videos! They're informative and immersive. Keep it up Mark!
i love that Mark took the time to introduce the kid , and let him talk, it was icing on the cake !
Mark, I left my country forty years ago, don't know if I ever have chance to go back but by look at your eyes popping out enjoy the food that I grew up with made me so proud of my motherland thank you.
that egg was cooked to perfection. I am sure a lot of people master the pork chop, but few master the egg. I was just wondering how we get food from Com Tam Ba Ghien to New York, Paris, Frankfort, London and and and?

That was actually a good idea, I've heard that a Vietnamese woman does open a Com Tam restaurant in Germany, not really sure where exactly it is.
and yeah, I too love that egg. Holy !@$!$!@$@#%@#. So yummy
Lucky for me I'm a Vietnamese, I eat this dish at least once a week for the last 5 years since I move to Hanoi. Gosh I love it so much that my friends hate me for inviting them to eat this with me a lot of time. The yellow cover you mentioned is actually egg.

Haha the face and the movement you make when you like the food always makes me smile!
Jesus, Mark eats chili peppers like they're candy lol
They one a kind chili but don't spicy, just more flavor!
Sang Tan Le I disagree. What he had was thai chilli which is, despite being at the bottom of hot chillies, still has scoville heat units of 50000-100000 which is 23 times the avg heat of jalapeño

Rita Elisabeth Thank you Rita, haha yes!
I have tried this exact dish at a restaurant in westminster, CA (little saigon). The pork and the fried egg is to die for
Next time try Com Tam Korean BBQ short ribs. bomb
Oggy Oliver what???
it's literally 10x better if you try it in Vietnam. yum yum
LOVE this dish. The pork is so delicious with all the accompaniments. Drooling. BTW, the way I'd eat it is to break the egg and allow the yolk to drip over everything. Dowse it all with the fish sauce and take a big bite with everything in it (egg, pork, meatloaf, etc....the perfect combination).
This place was near by my childhood house, and now I'm living at the U,S. But I still miss Com Tam Ba Ghien, it was so good, no other places "Com Tam" are better than this restaurant.

Yo dude, I'm watching your montage at midnight and it is killing me, havnt been back to Vietnam for 2 years
That place used to be my favorite place to eat for broken rice. I want some right now, I haven't eat it since 8 years already. I love your video!! Watching every single one right now (: Thank you for all of the videos, it reminded me of my homeland.
BTW, the yellow thing on the "meatloaf" is the egg yolk. In Vietnamese, we called it 'chả chưng ' I'm glad that you enjoyed our Vietnamese food. I'll try to remember what was my favorite food in Vietnam so I can recommend you to go eat it ^^
Great video. This dish is my absolute favorite at the various Vietnamese restaurants in Phoenix and Tucson. The one advantage with the broken rice is that it captures the grease and the juices of the pork chop. In some places in this area, there is a tendancy to overcook the pork chop.
Its hard to choose which one of the dishes you eat looks most delicious, but this has to be near the top of the most appetising and mouth watering!
***** Thanks Jay, for me too, this was one of the top meals I had.
Superb video Mark. Wonderful to see someone who obviously loves his job as much as you do.
THis is one of my favorite dish in Vietnam, I live in Phnom Penh and only found about 2 places that sell Com Tam. My mouth was drooling while watching this video, and I just had lunch 2 hours ago hahaha :)

Thank you Mark for this video and your collab with KyleLeDotNet. I actually grew up really close to Com Tam Ba Ghien and lemme tell you I miss it every single day.
Amazing how many people are in saigon and run into a fan! Keep up the hard work and good eats
***** Thank you Kev!
Mark Wiens You're famous man!
Mark wien, you are doing such a great job on eating around the world, good for you just keep on eating. And be gracious, as you always is. Have fun mark wien.
Hi! I am in vietnam. I am very glad that you have introduced the good food of vietnam thanks
The expression on your face while you eat your food just make me smile man haha. Love your channel dude. Keep it up!
Duy vu Dinh Thank you!
Mark I love all you Videos .
Many greetings from Germany.
I travel a lot through Asia and South East Asia. And I love the Asian cuisine is the best in the world.
As usual, great video Mark. I loved it so much I'm hungry again in like 15 minutes post lunch :P
Keep up the good work, all the very best :)
Karan Ghosh Thank you Karan
Pork chop and fried egg rice heaven! awesome vid Mark!
***** Thank you Robert
At 4:14, you eat the thing call Chả. It made by minced meat and cover with egg, so it has the yellow cover and meat inside :)
Wow. WOOW. I just found your channel couple minutes ago and I've suscribed as fast as I could. I'm vietnamese but I was born in France, I know most of the dishes you've eaten but it still makes me want to travel all the way there to my homeland to taste all these stuff again, with the real ingredients etc.
I don't know if you're still in VN but you have to try "com chay" it's a snack that's crazy delicious that's made out of dried and crispy rice and it's literally the best thing I've ever eaten. Unfortunately it's only sold in VN and I can't alway take a bite of it whenever I want to.
I lived near this district for a few years while I was in college, I'm now 31 and still recall how good it was.
I shouldn't have watched this right before bed! The good thing is I live near garden grove CA (largest Viet population outside Vietnam) so I'll make sure to get broken rice soon. Great video Mark.
WWDB Kevin Hey Kevin, good to have Vietnamese restaurants close by, enjoy!
man... you have the best job in the world, congrats and keep up the good stuff!
Mark Wiens good to see again your viewers popping by! So cool!
***** Thanks Renato!
I love watching your videos and seeing your expression when you take a bite. Keep the videos coming!
I am only half vietnamese and the other half Irish, but I remembered one time my dad took me to a restaurant serving a similar dish as yours and he said that the yellow stuff is egg. Thanks for the great video!
Wow this is my favourite dish Com Tam Dac Biet ( Combination Pork Chop ).I miss my Country Food so much,and I live in Australian for 32 yrs and I come to Australia since 1984 when I was 11 yrs old .Our Food Back Home is Always taste the best and is really Cheaper Price Over there.Make Wiens you chose the right country to go there and eat. The Best Food Ever In The World!!! :-):-):-)

Thank for videos. Have fun !
haha, I came here for the face expression don't ever change. Always love watching your videos, can't wait for more.
I watch a lllll your videos, even after the gym. This is one of my favourites!!! I always look forward to seeing the new videos :) Now my whole family watch them lol
Mark, that egg yolk looks insanely gorgeous.
i am Vietnamese, and this is legit as good as the way mark explains it!
Sometimes I have to stop watching because I get too hungry, another great video.
Kahn: "Hope to see you again!", Mark: "Thank you!". Lol, love your videos Mark.
Haxanlord Thank you!
Haxanlord His name is Khanh, not Kahn :))
Omg i've been there in 2013 and i was sit at the table behind you mark! It make me miss vietnam even more
Stephanie Lam Oh very cool Stephanie!
I am also a chili addict. Appreciate Mark's very clear pronunciation of English, which make it quite easy not to miss a word of what he says. Vietnamese food is (still) not common in our country.
Mark, your commentary while eating is so amusing. Love it b
Your videos are ADDICTIVE DUDE!!!! This makes me crave my home's food so much!!!
Mark- you and your chilis!! Hardcore. Kudos .
Mark, thanks. you're making me very hungry. Thanks goodness we have a lot of Vietnamese restaurants in San Diego. I'll be in Bangkok on Feb. 10 eating street food and that is also thanks to you for making me wanted to do that. A month in Thailand should be good enough to hit most of the places you have recommended in your video.
Lisa Elliott Great to hear that Lisa, hope you have a wonderful time eating in Thailand.
Mark Wiens Thank you, Mark. I will enjoy all those good foods, especially Kua OV. A must place for me to visit. My coworkers couldn't believe I am taking a month off just to do this. As soon as my boss mentioned we will be slow for February and March, my vacation request along with the flight was on his desk . Opportunity does not come often. I told my subordinates try to get along without me for a month. My others coworkers just can not believe my boss let me take a month off.
Lisa Elliott Fantastic, enjoy your trip! Try to go to Krua OV about 11 am or so, so you have the most choice for food. I'm not sure if they will have the "khao chae" as it's a summer dish, but they will have many other choices.
Yes, Khao chae is on my list of must have items. Have never tried that in my life but it is going to be my first.
Here what i love about that Rice Dishes! 5:23 that was funny! lol
Oh my god, I wish I had the ability to go for a whole green chilly per spoon of rice like it's nothing. Love your videos! From Vietnam
when he does the "figure 8" head motion.... you know it's worth Michelin stars....
i love his figure 8 motion, i now try it myself haha
Derrickng86 don't you mean the *EIGHTH*-gasm motion HAA ha huh hh
I'll shut myself
Mark.. you are very cool! Keep sharing, I just discovered your videos couple of days ago, and I love each one. I am Indian married to Vietnamese, so this is beyond cool for me to see. One of these days, I am definitely going to visit Vietnam. :-))))
i love vietnam!!!!
This is one of the best video as broken rice is my favourite dish specially the pork...Yum.Yum...Thank for the video Mark and you enjoy more food in Saigon.⊙_⊙
To Cam Tran Yes, glad you love it as well, thank you for watching.
I love your videos Mark. You should be on Food Network.
They sell this exact combination plate at almost all of the Vietnamese restaurants where I live! It's my favourite thing to get. So yummy!
nessnessa Cool to hear that!
today I will have a present in my class. I intruduce about Sai Gon Foods. and I use your video. I really like your video.
Thanks for scoping out my upcoming itinerary.
I will blame Mark Wiens if I don't get As this semester for making me watching youtube till 2am. LOL Great work sir! Stay safe and healthy.
Hue Tran Haha, thank you Hue!
Meanwhile in America we have to eat McDonalds and processed foods. Every single dish you show us looks absolutely amazing!
Thank you for coming to our country! I love Com Tam Ba Ghien too. Hope to meet you one day in Saigon :)
My favorite food. Thanks you Mark. That's is the best street food in Saigon(Hochiminh City)
Mark Wiens I went here based on your youtube.
The meal was good - we got the dish with everything and it took an effort to finish it all.
The dish is now 88,000 VND - I noticed our dish also had a Chinese sausage in it. Coke was 12,000VND a can with a glass filled with ice - so all up 100,000VND each.
Not cheap by VN standards - but as your video pointed out - the quality was hard to beat.
We got there after the lunch crowd at about 3pm and the main seating area was closed but the remaining area was pretty busy with people coming and going.
Look forward to trying some of your other recommendations when I next make it to Saigon.
I am getting hungry and salivating rn before taking my exam. Dammit man, now all I can think about is just this food and not having full focus on the exam.
I love your videos, Mark! Especially when I'm cooking.
Hey Mark I just love your style man as you taste every food by closings your eyes
Varun Patil Thank you Varun
I will go to Vietnam this summer and I can't wait to eat all the food!
songainlover Great to hear that!
+songainlover if you want to eat them( broken rice with grill pork - the same Mark was eat ), you should go to address 84 Đặng Văn Ngữ-ward 1- Phú Nhuận district. i'm vietnamese and i hope you will like it when you reach VN :)
Tran Thao Thank you very much!
I’m Chinese but I use a lot of Viet dishes in my weightlifting bulking routine. Pork Chop with broken rice & 2 fried eggs is a meal I eat almost daily and it’s one of the best anaerobic dishes out there IMO
I can almost taste the flavour just by watching this vid lol
LiangHuBBB Thank you!
i like the way he nod his head and his facial expression!!!!
btw sorry for my bad english
Mark, watching this at noon made me so hungry. Reminded me when I was in Saigon a few years back that I had Com Tam in the morning daily. Thank you for the delicious video,now I am drooling.
Billy C Great to hear that Billy. Makes a delicious breakfast.
Oh my god!! look at the food!!!! Amazing!!! Thank you very much Mark!
Cher Liang Tay Thank you for watching Cher
Dang van ngu street. Its perfect cơm tấm in phu nhuan district ... awesome guy 🤘🤘🤘

I've just had dinner bro. this soo painfully delicious to watch
