Hi gang! That’s a wrap on Saigon 😆 hope you liked the series. We’re currently in Cambodia filming up a storm. Remember to follow us over on Instagram @chasingaplate for real-time eating 😄 Have a great week guys! Big love, Thomas & Sheena
With the beef wrapped in betel leaf dish, I think you guys did not notice the bowl of water under the rice paper plate. That bowl is used to soften the rice paper. In Vietnam, we normally serve 2 types of rice paper, this one is the traditional one that MUST come with a bowl of water to soften it. The other one is in a rectangle shape and super thin and does not need to be soften with water.
@@joshr9417: I was a tad confused, l also noticed the bowl under the sheets of rice paper which l assume had the water in to soften them. Im certain Sheena will enlighten us as to this mystery. Maybe she likes it that way🤔
Yeah, just my suggestion. There is no right or wrong in how people eating food in their ways. Maybe she likes it that way. She is correct as the rice paper can be soften with the wet vegetables and the moist in the beef.
Hi khinkhin100, thanks for watching! We actually did know about the bowl of water it’s just that I prefer to make my rice paper only a tiny bit soft with the moisture from the lettuce and herbs. Thomas likes to really soften his rice paper up in the water but I like mine crispy 😆 I should have mentioned it though- my bad! Hope you enjoyed this video. Cheers, Sheena
It was fantastic Con Psalios! And so unique. Very addictive indeed. Thanks for watching and commenting on this one. We hope you enjoyed the series 😄 Cheers, Sheena
😄😄😄😄 yes, there was! I should have mentioned it but forgot as I like my rice paper pretty crispy. Thomas gets into it though 🤗 thanks for watching and commenting captain subtext, hope you enjoyed this one! Cheers, Sheena
Chasing a Plate - Thomas & Sheena that’s really fine since alot of the locals don’t dip in water either. I think they only give tourists the bowl of water
@@jigglypuff9007 we love how you can customise your meal to your own taste :) Everyone was getting the bowls of water but many weren't dipping when we ate there. Thanks for watching Jiggly Puff! Cheers, Sheena

Haha Thomas is all for the soft rice paper but I like it crispy 😄 I should have mentioned the bowl of water but totally forgot to. It’s interesting because I was taking note of all the diners and their bo la lot technique when we ate at this spot prior to this day of filming. Out of about 20 people, only two people dipped their rice paper- Thomas and another bloke 😄 I love how you can customise this type of meal to exactly your taste. Thanks for watching and commenting Tosh so glad you enjoyed the series 😄 Cheers, Sheena
I'm a dipper for sure. I liked how the fellow I pointed out used his fingers to spread the water and I thought perhaps I was doing it wrong all these years. 😀 Very interesting that nearly everyone preferred crispy. 👍

Seafood & butter are just a match made in heaven. Those snails with corn in butter sauce had to be so enticing! I love how you always get a big tray or basket of fresh greens/fruit/herbs to go along with the cooked dishes.
They really are! So simple, so perfect 🤤 we were able to really up our greens intake in Vietnam- it was fantastic 😍 thanks for watching and commenting MsKestrela. Hope you are having a great week! Cheers, Sheena
It was a really neat way to end the day. So cool how the stalls were all together in that wee lane. Great environment. Thanks for checking this one out. Cheers, Thomas 😀

hải thanh hồ all i ate was mcdonald’s when i visited ho chi minh city and i regret the hell out of it.... the unsanitary conditions led me to not step out of my comfort zone but i wish i would have...i will be back and try some street food next time no doubt
Thanks so much for that recommendation mate! We can’t wait to return to Saigon one day soon. We love the city so much. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Sheena
I know it sounds like I'm promoting my OWN channel but you guys should definitely try the Vietnamese STICKY RICE. You will ABSOLUTELY love it! It's packed with over 10 different ingredients!!!!
😍 thanks so much for the recommendation mate! We ran out of time in Vietnam so we totally have to get back soon. We had such a great trip. Hope you enjoyed this video, popping Bun Dau mam tom on the list for next time for sure! Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers, Sheena
Hola Luis Carbajal! Muchas gracias for watching this one mate. It was super fun to film. Saigon has such a great food scene. Hope you enjoy the rest of the series! Cheers, Sheena
Hi oliver Duong, thanks so much for watching and big love to you in Vietnam! We loved eating and filming in Saigon so much. The food is outstanding! Hope you enjoy our videos mate. Cheers, Sheena
Would LOVE to try all these food one day. Btw, did you get the chance to eat those tropical fruits whilst in Vietnam? Im not sure if they're in season now but I know you can find lots of beautiful fruits in the country/region eg local bananas (different from western bananas), rambutan, lychee, mangosteen, dragon fruit, papaya, rose apple, etc. Yes from your video I do know that you did try some fruits in Cambodia though 👍😊
We sure did A O! The dragon fruit was particularly good in Vietnam and we ate a lot of bananas, papaya and watermelon. No mangosteens, rambutan or lychees at the time although we’ve just noticed the rambutan at the markets here in Cambodia now so perhaps the season has just started 😍 Cheers, Sheena
It’s interactive eating and so damn fun! The flavours are amazing- super fresh 🤤 thanks for watching and commenting guys, hope you enjoyed this one. Cheers, Sheena
I'm a Vietnamese near by Saigon. Look at what you taste, it's absolutely delicious. I have a big question how can you find these street food out and how can you eat those strange foods. It's like you are localism.
😀😀😀😀 we loved Saigon Hiep Tran Hoang! We always love to eat where the locals eat and show the best food in the cities we visit so we spend a lot of time researching before we visit, talking to locals and eating at a lot of places once we arrive so we can work out our favourite food and street vendors to put in the videos 😀 Thanks so much for your generous words. Hope you enjoy our other Saigon videos! Cheers, Sheena
Thank you for your generous words Michael! So true about the myriad of combinations and textures it’s such a fun cuisine to eat. Thanks for watching and commenting 😘 Cheers, Sheena
Hi. We’ve been at 3 different times and always had nice weather. This time of year is really good though. Not to crazy hot. Are you planning a trip? Thanks for watching. Cheers, Thomas 😄
I would say around fall or winter. As a kid, I went in December the week of Christmas and New Years and didn't really have many problems with weather except constant rain.
見てくれてありがとう! We loved exploring Saigon's food culture- hope you enjoy the rest of the Vietnam series mate. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Cheers, Sheena
That rice paper does not need to be wet before wrap. It won't be broken when you wrap it dry. This type you can only find it in Vietnam because it is fresher than the one which is exported. So it is easier to be perished.
Hi Anh Cao, thanks for your input 😄 A lot of people commented on how I didn’t wet the paper before eating so it’s great to have this information! Thanks for watching and commenting and we hope you enjoy the rest of our Saigon series. Cheers, Sheena
😂😂😂😂 I like mine pretty crispy whereas Thomas goes for the dunk. That was such a tasty meal. Thanks for watching and commenting, hope you enjoyed the video. Cheers, Sheena
Yassss! Great plan OBIE 😄 Hope you enjoyed this one- loved that seafood feast- such an awesome atmosphere! Thanks for watching and commenting mate. Cheers, Sheena
They’re great mate, hope you get the chance to try them one day- these ones were very tasty indeed. Thanks for watching and commenting on this one, hope you enjoyed it 😄 Cheers, Sheena
😍 they are sooo good! Such a delicious shellfish. Is there some sort of special Texan recipe for scallops? 😄 Thanks for watching and commenting dswetz1 😘 Cheers, Sheena
Watching your video made me want to visit my country so bad. I miss all the great food there but I hate the traffic so much😂😂😂. Love you guys, please do more about Việt Nam, I havent been back for 13 years.❣
😆😆😆 that traffic is truly intense! Thanks for watching although we’re sorry we made you homesick! We want to return so much- hope we can get back there soon. Hope you enjoy the rest of our Saigon videos mate. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Sheena
Thanks heaps. We try and make sure we always get the pronunciation of things correctly. Vietnamese is a hard language! Thanks so much for watching this one. It was great fun to film. Cheers, Thomas 😀
😍😍😍😍 thanks for the feedback Bobby JC! We often wonder if people watch in 4k so this is great to know. So happy you are enjoying our videos, thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Sheena
I think the spotty snails were "Oc hut" or "sucking snails". I've had something similar but the sauce was a little creamier with coconut milk. So good!
😍 thanks so much for that info mate! They were delicious. We wanted to sample them in the coconut milk sauce but it wasn’t available that night. Next time for sure. Thanks for watching and commenting- hope you enjoyed the series 😄 Cheers, Sheena
How do you guys keep safe from food contamination and poisoning love the video made my commute so lively my neighbors asked me about this channel I recommended them to subscribe keep it up guys love you
Honestly l hear myself uttering mmmm out loud when watching. How this food channel has not taken over you tube has got me confused. The quality and content is outstanding. Keep sharing!
Aw that’s so cool! Thanks so much for sharing Kevinly and I’m glad we could accompany you on your commute 🤗 considering the amount of street food we eat we very rarely get sick. I guess the reason is that everywhere we eat is highly researched- even if we’re not filming. I hate to waste my stomach space on a bad meal so I’m sort of obsessed with making sure every meal counts so will try and find popular local places wherever we are. If we ever have any tummy troubles we always turn to activated charcoal 😄 thanks for watching and commenting mate! Big love, Sheena
'Rice noodle mat' 🤣 such a cute but weird description. There's a dish called kway chup served in Thailand Singapore and Malaysia that features square pieces of noodles (like noodle 'mats' 😂) served with pigs organs in a broth. I know you have eaten this before. Anyhow, how crazy is that - a wrap within a wrap. That wild betel leaf is also used in the Thai dish mieng kham, a favourite of mine.
I didn’t know what to call it A O 🤣 that’s just what came out 😂 so weird. That wild betel leaf is delicious! Such a great flavour. Will look up mieng kham to see what it is 😄 thanks for watching and commenting mate, hope you enjoyed this video. Cheers, Sheena
Hi Phoenix Legion, thanks for watching! Nope we didn’t get sick at all in Vietnam. We always eat where it’s popular and busy with locals wherever we go so we very rarely get food poisoning. We do carry activated charcoal with us just in case though- it’s a wonder drug! Thanks for commenting on this one 😄 Cheers, Sheena
@@Pixlanta when you get that first inkling of oooo something isn't right here, you pop 2-3 charcoal tablets and it does wonders. If it's a really bad case you just keep taking them throughout your sickness as the bugs attach themselves to the charcoal and it helps clear them from your system quicker 😀 Amazing stuff! Cheers, Sheena
Hi Bt Hoang, thanks for watching and commenting mate. We film food all around the world and using gloves is actually quite uncommon 😄 as long as the hygiene practices are good we don’t find it a problem. Hope you enjoyed this video! Cheers, Sheena
I've been told by my grandparents that the crab soup has origins from China but I'm not sure if this is true. It does make sense though considering so many things in Vietnam has Chinese influence and it's typically served at Chinese dim sum restaurants here in the states as well.
That's so interesting Allison Tran! Do they include the brain and the century egg as well? Or is just the crab, chicken etc? Thanks for watching and commenting, hope you enjoyed this video and like the rest of our Saigon series. Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate From what I know, most restaurants only include crab as a main ingredient. Brain and century egg isn't really added from my knowledge. I haven't seen a place that does include brain (I'm from California, USA for reference). Not sure if there are places that do it in other places across the country, but I'm sure someone would add it if it's homemade. It's still delicious all the same ☺️
Fantastic, thanks so much for the information 😄 we love seeing how dishes morph as they cross borders to suit local tastes as well as what’s available ingredients wise! Gosh it’s a tasty dish 😍
😍😍😍 thanks so much for watching and subscribing Camie Le! Hahah good idea having a snack on hand. Hope you enjoyed this video and like the rest of the series 😄 Cheers, Sheena
A serious question for you (this may have been answered before) but do you ever suffer with food poisoning or dodgey guts? I always avoid street food and feel like I’m missing out, but I have such a delicate digestive system that I’m worried about the possible “fall out”! 😂 Are you just accustomed to it now? Great vlog as always guys! 👍🏻
They have answered this one. The key is to eat at the busiest stalls with a high turnover of food, and also "eat hot food piping hot, and cold food really cold". They have mentioned using Charcoal tablets as well, apparently that helps if starting to get a tummy upset.
Hi Looking for my marbles! Considering how much street food we eat we get sick very rarely. We’ve gotten sick from restaurants or hotel breakfasts more often than street food. The key is to follow the crowds- we always eat at really popular local spots so the food is always fresh. If you’re travelling and we have videos based where you are, give the places a go 😄 we’ve never gotten sick from any of the places we film and often we eat there a couple of times prior to filming. Of course you can never guarantee that some speck of something nasty won’t waft through the air and happen to land on your food or that your gut might just not be keen on a certain ingredient but after eating street food about 90% of the time after 3 years of full time travel and not getting sick from it- I reckon it’s worth the risk next time you’re on the road 😄 Activated charcoal is great to have on hand in case of any stomach upsets- we always carry it. So happy you enjoyed this one. Thanks for watching and commenting 😍 Cheers, Sheena
Hey Thomas & Sheena ! Do you know that foods and beverages in Vietnam (Saigon city ) are most intoxicated ? Tell people should be aware of the danger !!!
The rice paper salad is eaten by mixing the sauce and pour directly on the rice paper. It is not meant to be eaten as a scooping method. The sauce is what made the rice paper soft.
Us too 😍 It’s so fresh and vibrant and you feel so good after eating it 😄 thanks for watching and commenting Brenda, hope you enjoyed this one! Cheers, Sheena
Hi, great video, but all the advice for travellers is never to eat raw veg in Vietnam, only cooked, or, say, peelable fruit. But from your video, and many others like it, it looks like there's no problem... What's your angle on this please?
Hi Nigel, thanks for watching and for your comment. We’ve travelled throughout SE Asia over the past 10 years and we eat street food probably 90% of the time on our travels. We’ve never had a problem with the raw vegetables, fruit or ice. Eat at busy stalls populated by locals and where the food is constantly being churned out of busy kitchens. More often than not vegetables that are eaten fresh will be washed with filtered water and ice is always filtered water. I have often read travel advice of the type you mention about Vietnam and thought to myself- that pretty much leaves you with about 2 dishes as fresh herbs and vegetables are such a vital component of the cuisine 😝 I hope that helps! Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate Thanks so much Sheena, that totally squares with what some colleagues have been saying, so your reply is also very reassuring. We'll try to track down some of the places you explore by the flower market. Is there anywhere that you've posted addresses/names of the places you visit in the videos?
Nigel Pollitt no problem! Have a wonderful time. And yep- all details for where we ate in this series (4 videos) are in the descriptions 😄. Happy eating!
Hi chong chueh, thanks for watching and commenting mate. We ate a classic beef pho in this video: th-cam.com/video/q_ZZZGlmPjA/w-d-xo.html it was brilliant! Hope you enjoy it! Cheers, Sheena
You’re killing me! My fiancé would give me scallops just like these as a snack. She brought them with spicy fish sauce and orange milk. Now I can’t go back until June.😭😭 Great videos. Have safe travels.

Come on guys lm going to have to insert a "Holey Moley" on that massive Seafood BBQ feast..... the food, the atmosphere, the price!! Im definitely hungry for more, "let's eat" in Cambodia.
It was sooooo good! I can totally see why everyone was so into that snack- that stall was always raging.

Hi Guys great video do you know where you can get the rectangular super thin rice paper wraps . I live in Australia and cant find them cheers
Hi Linda, thanks for watching and commenting! Hmmm we usually head to our nearest Asian grocer for that type of thing if you can’t find them in the international section at countdown? Hope you get a hold of them! So happy you enjoyed this video. Cheers, Sheena
“Not quite sure how many dishes we ordered” - love it!
😆😆😆😆 I was so confused as to what I had said yes to 😝
Why, that gluey soup with brain... this is what I call travelling for authentic local food, you guys aren't afraid to taste the real thing :D
😄😄😄 it’s what we’re all about Dan! Thanks for watching mate. Cheers, Sheena

It’s such a fresh tasting meal guys! We always feel light as air after eating it 😍 Ready for dinner number 2 🤣 thanks for watching and commenting on this one, hope you enjoyed the series! Cheers, Sheena
Seafood & butter are just a match made in heaven. Those snails with corn in butter sauce had to be so enticing! I love how you always get a big tray or basket of fresh greens/fruit/herbs to go along with the cooked dishes.
They really are! So simple, so perfect 🤤 we were able to really up our greens intake in Vietnam- it was fantastic 😍 thanks for watching and commenting MsKestrela. Hope you are having a great week! Cheers, Sheena

Really curious where all the different types of Snails are sourced. You say sea Snails ? It would be an interesting video of the harvest.
I’d imagine they’d be farmed near the coast. I’m not totally sure though re these ones sorry. Thanks very much for watching. Cheers, Thomas 😀
Going try sometime
Do it Paula! Thanks for watching and commenting on this one, hope you enjoyed it. Cheers, Sheena
The seafood looks heavenly!
It was a really neat way to end the day. So cool how the stalls were all together in that wee lane. Great environment. Thanks for checking this one out. Cheers, Thomas 😀

Hi mate, thanks for watching and commenting! We loved Saigon SO much- we ate so well and met so many lovely people.

Isn't that a bowl of water under that rice paper, so you can wet the thing?
Usually with rice paper in Vietnam you don't need too, but that rice paper was thick.
Yep which I forgot to mention as I like my rice paper pretty crispy 😄 just softened slightly with the moisture from the leaves. Thomas always goes for the dunk though! Thanks for watching and commenting Rod Reves. Hope you liked this series! Cheers, Sheena

Thanks so much for that recommendation mate! We can’t wait to return to Saigon one day soon. We love the city so much. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Sheena
I know it sounds like I'm promoting my OWN channel but you guys should definitely try the Vietnamese STICKY RICE. You will ABSOLUTELY love it! It's packed with over 10 different ingredients!!!!
We love Vietnamese sticky rice so much. We had it quite often for breakfast 🤤 thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Sheena
If you can u guys should try eating our Bún Đậu mắm tôm. It's one of our traditional food from the North ^^ . Hope you guys have a great time
😍 thanks so much for the recommendation mate! We ran out of time in Vietnam so we totally have to get back soon. We had such a great trip. Hope you enjoyed this video, popping Bun Dau mam tom on the list for next time for sure! Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate Bun Dau is good , but don't eat with Mam Tom ( shrimp paste ) . Eat with fish sauce mixed with vinegar , sugar and garlic .
@@hungcuongnguyen293 brilliant advice, thank you!

Lemongrass and clams! That sounds SO good
So fragrant! 😍
Love from Vietnam.
Hi oliver Duong, thanks so much for watching and big love to you in Vietnam! We loved eating and filming in Saigon so much. The food is outstanding! Hope you enjoy our videos mate. Cheers, Sheena
Would LOVE to try all these food one day. Btw, did you get the chance to eat those tropical fruits whilst in Vietnam? Im not sure if they're in season now but I know you can find lots of beautiful fruits in the country/region eg local bananas (different from western bananas), rambutan, lychee, mangosteen, dragon fruit, papaya, rose apple, etc. Yes from your video I do know that you did try some fruits in Cambodia though 👍😊
We sure did A O! The dragon fruit was particularly good in Vietnam and we ate a lot of bananas, papaya and watermelon. No mangosteens, rambutan or lychees at the time although we’ve just noticed the rambutan at the markets here in Cambodia now so perhaps the season has just started 😍 Cheers, Sheena
I love how they wrap all those ingredients on the rice paper roll!
Seems so simple and I bet is super flavored
It’s interactive eating and so damn fun! The flavours are amazing- super fresh 🤤 thanks for watching and commenting guys, hope you enjoyed this one. Cheers, Sheena
I'm a Vietnamese near by Saigon. Look at what you taste, it's absolutely delicious. I have a big question how can you find these street food out and how can you eat those strange foods. It's like you are localism.
😀😀😀😀 we loved Saigon Hiep Tran Hoang! We always love to eat where the locals eat and show the best food in the cities we visit so we spend a lot of time researching before we visit, talking to locals and eating at a lot of places once we arrive so we can work out our favourite food and street vendors to put in the videos 😀 Thanks so much for your generous words. Hope you enjoy our other Saigon videos! Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate thank a lot for your coming.
Có cái app tên Foody đó bạn
So many amazing combinations and textures! Thanks for presenting it all so beautifully. 😃
Thank you for your generous words Michael! So true about the myriad of combinations and textures it’s such a fun cuisine to eat. Thanks for watching and commenting 😘 Cheers, Sheena
Very good people
Thanks for watching mate. Cheers, Thomas 😀
What's the best time to go to Vietnam, weather wise?
Hi. We’ve been at 3 different times and always had nice weather. This time of year is really good though. Not to crazy hot. Are you planning a trip? Thanks for watching. Cheers, Thomas 😄
I would say around fall or winter. As a kid, I went in December the week of Christmas and New Years and didn't really have many problems with weather except constant rain.
really appreciate listing the prices!
😄 no worries mate! Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoyed this one! Cheers, Sheena
きれいな映像と素晴らしい料理でした^^/ありがとうございます。
見てくれてありがとう! We loved exploring Saigon's food culture- hope you enjoy the rest of the Vietnam series mate. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Cheers, Sheena
That rice paper does not need to be wet before wrap. It won't be broken when you wrap it dry. This type you can only find it in Vietnam because it is fresher than the one which is exported. So it is easier to be perished.
Hi Anh Cao, thanks for your input 😄 A lot of people commented on how I didn’t wet the paper before eating so it’s great to have this information! Thanks for watching and commenting and we hope you enjoy the rest of our Saigon series. Cheers, Sheena
Chasing a Plate - Thomas & Sheena I often bring back a lot when I go back to my hometown. That type of ricepaper can be using in a half of a year.
The scene where she rubs the lettuce on the rice paper rather than dunking it in the hot water in front of her was very hard.
😂😂😂😂 I like mine pretty crispy whereas Thomas goes for the dunk. That was such a tasty meal. Thanks for watching and commenting, hope you enjoyed the video. Cheers, Sheena
Subscribed! You husband and wife? Great videos...

Scallops are my favorite! Love from Texas! God bless!
😍 they are sooo good! Such a delicious shellfish. Is there some sort of special Texan recipe for scallops? 😄 Thanks for watching and commenting dswetz1 😘 Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate i just saute in garlic butter. Yum
@@dswetz1 The best way!! 😋
Watching your video made me want to visit my country so bad. I miss all the great food there but I hate the traffic so much😂😂😂. Love you guys, please do more about Việt Nam, I havent been back for 13 years.❣
😆😆😆 that traffic is truly intense! Thanks for watching although we’re sorry we made you homesick! We want to return so much- hope we can get back there soon. Hope you enjoy the rest of our Saigon videos mate. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Sheena
Love how you guys make the effort to pronounce the Vietnamese food names correctly!
Omgosh those scallops look incredible 😍
Thanks heaps. We try and make sure we always get the pronunciation of things correctly. Vietnamese is a hard language! Thanks so much for watching this one. It was great fun to film. Cheers, Thomas 😀
Watched in 4k 60p great video, content and auto focus. Really enjoy your videos great job
😍😍😍😍 thanks for the feedback Bobby JC! We often wonder if people watch in 4k so this is great to know. So happy you are enjoying our videos, thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Sheena
I think the spotty snails were "Oc hut" or "sucking snails". I've had something similar but the sauce was a little creamier with coconut milk. So good!
😍 thanks so much for that info mate! They were delicious. We wanted to sample them in the coconut milk sauce but it wasn’t available that night. Next time for sure. Thanks for watching and commenting- hope you enjoyed the series 😄 Cheers, Sheena
thanks
Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoyed this video. Cheers, Sheena
Wow...incredible flavors on this one!!!
Every dish was so vibrant 😍 it was a super fun day to film! Thanks for watching and commenting Jo, hope you enjoyed it 😄 Cheers, Sheena
How do you guys keep safe from food contamination and poisoning love the video made my commute so lively my neighbors asked me about this channel I recommended them to subscribe keep it up guys love you
Honestly l hear myself uttering mmmm out loud when watching. How this food channel has not taken over you tube has got me confused. The quality and content is outstanding. Keep sharing!
Aw that’s so cool! Thanks so much for sharing Kevinly and I’m glad we could accompany you on your commute 🤗 considering the amount of street food we eat we very rarely get sick. I guess the reason is that everywhere we eat is highly researched- even if we’re not filming. I hate to waste my stomach space on a bad meal so I’m sort of obsessed with making sure every meal counts so will try and find popular local places wherever we are. If we ever have any tummy troubles we always turn to activated charcoal 😄 thanks for watching and commenting mate! Big love, Sheena
That's a master soup.
The texture must be kick for sure.
That's an egg?? Wow! We are super surprised to see and learn about this dish
Century eggs are crazy right?! I reckon the colour of them is gorgeous and they have such a unique flavour. That soup was brilliant! Loved it so much.
'Rice noodle mat' 🤣 such a cute but weird description. There's a dish called kway chup served in Thailand Singapore and Malaysia that features square pieces of noodles (like noodle 'mats' 😂) served with pigs organs in a broth. I know you have eaten this before. Anyhow, how crazy is that - a wrap within a wrap. That wild betel leaf is also used in the Thai dish mieng kham, a favourite of mine.
I didn’t know what to call it A O 🤣 that’s just what came out 😂 so weird. That wild betel leaf is delicious! Such a great flavour. Will look up mieng kham to see what it is 😄 thanks for watching and commenting mate, hope you enjoyed this video. Cheers, Sheena
T&t have you gotten sick in Vietnam yet? What precautions do you take to not get sick? Another great video❤️
Hi Phoenix Legion, thanks for watching! Nope we didn’t get sick at all in Vietnam. We always eat where it’s popular and busy with locals wherever we go so we very rarely get food poisoning. We do carry activated charcoal with us just in case though- it’s a wonder drug! Thanks for commenting on this one 😄 Cheers, Sheena
Chasing a Plate - Thomas & Sheena what a great tip carrying activated charcoal. Do you take it after you get sick or before?
@@Pixlanta when you get that first inkling of oooo something isn't right here, you pop 2-3 charcoal tablets and it does wonders. If it's a really bad case you just keep taking them throughout your sickness as the bugs attach themselves to the charcoal and it helps clear them from your system quicker 😀 Amazing stuff! Cheers, Sheena
The seafood 😋great vid 👍
Such an array! We had a real feast 😍 thanks for watching and commenting Michael, so happy you enjoyed this one. Cheers, Sheena
Now I miss Vietnam :(
So amazing isn’t it! We can’t wait to get back to film another series. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Thomas 😀
They used the hands with no glove to prepare your food! think seriously about that!God blessed both of you!
Hi Bt Hoang, thanks for watching and commenting mate. We film food all around the world and using gloves is actually quite uncommon 😄 as long as the hygiene practices are good we don’t find it a problem. Hope you enjoyed this video! Cheers, Sheena
I'll watch this when I get home. 🤣🤣 3 min and I'm hungry.
😆😆😆😆😆 hope you enjoyed it Alina Petrea. It was all sooooo delicious. Thanks for watching and commenting mate. Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate yes late last night with some popcorn
I've been told by my grandparents that the crab soup has origins from China but I'm not sure if this is true. It does make sense though considering so many things in Vietnam has Chinese influence and it's typically served at Chinese dim sum restaurants here in the states as well.
That's so interesting Allison Tran! Do they include the brain and the century egg as well? Or is just the crab, chicken etc? Thanks for watching and commenting, hope you enjoyed this video and like the rest of our Saigon series. Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate From what I know, most restaurants only include crab as a main ingredient. Brain and century egg isn't really added from my knowledge. I haven't seen a place that does include brain (I'm from California, USA for reference). Not sure if there are places that do it in other places across the country, but I'm sure someone would add it if it's homemade. It's still delicious all the same ☺️
Fantastic, thanks so much for the information 😄 we love seeing how dishes morph as they cross borders to suit local tastes as well as what’s available ingredients wise! Gosh it’s a tasty dish 😍
Just subscribed... watching as I eat! 😅
😍😍😍 thanks so much for watching and subscribing Camie Le! Hahah good idea having a snack on hand. Hope you enjoyed this video and like the rest of the series 😄 Cheers, Sheena
Chasing a Plate - Thomas & Sheena The papaya salad’s stall in your clip actually belongs to my Aunt’s. I shared this clip to her, made her day.
😍😍😍😍 no way! I have been dreaming of her papaya salad since we ate it. It was unreal! We’ll definitely be returning on our next visit 🤤
A serious question for you (this may have been answered before) but do you ever suffer with food poisoning or dodgey guts? I always avoid street food and feel like I’m missing out, but I have such a delicate digestive system that I’m worried about the possible “fall out”! 😂
Are you just accustomed to it now?
Great vlog as always guys! 👍🏻
They have answered this one. The key is to eat at the busiest stalls with a high turnover of food, and also "eat hot food piping hot, and cold food really cold". They have mentioned using Charcoal tablets as well, apparently that helps if starting to get a tummy upset.
Hi Looking for my marbles! Considering how much street food we eat we get sick very rarely. We’ve gotten sick from restaurants or hotel breakfasts more often than street food. The key is to follow the crowds- we always eat at really popular local spots so the food is always fresh. If you’re travelling and we have videos based where you are, give the places a go 😄 we’ve never gotten sick from any of the places we film and often we eat there a couple of times prior to filming. Of course you can never guarantee that some speck of something nasty won’t waft through the air and happen to land on your food or that your gut might just not be keen on a certain ingredient but after eating street food about 90% of the time after 3 years of full time travel and not getting sick from it- I reckon it’s worth the risk next time you’re on the road 😄 Activated charcoal is great to have on hand in case of any stomach upsets- we always carry it. So happy you enjoyed this one. Thanks for watching and commenting 😍 Cheers, Sheena
Chasing a Plate - Thomas & Sheena thanks for responding. I’m pleased to hear that and great tips!
Brilliant But Blue 👍🏻 thanks
Chasing a Plate - Thomas & Sheena wow @ “full time travel” for 3 years? Gobsmacked! You guys are so lucky
Hey Thomas & Sheena ! Do you know that foods and beverages in Vietnam (Saigon city ) are most intoxicated ? Tell people should be aware of the danger !!!
Hi Victor Le, thanks for watching and commenting! What do you mean by intoxicated? Cheers, Sheena
The rice paper salad is eaten by mixing the sauce and pour directly on the rice paper. It is not meant to be eaten as a scooping method. The sauce is what made the rice paper soft.
Thanks for the tip Alvin! Hope you enjoyed the video. Cheers, Sheena
The rice paper with the mixture sounds so crispy when you bite into it
I know right?! So crispy!
I am in love with Vietnamese food!
Us too 😍 It’s so fresh and vibrant and you feel so good after eating it 😄 thanks for watching and commenting Brenda, hope you enjoyed this one! Cheers, Sheena

Hi, great video, but all the advice for travellers is never to eat raw veg in Vietnam, only cooked, or, say, peelable fruit. But from your video, and many others like it, it looks like there's no problem... What's your angle on this please?
Hi Nigel, thanks for watching and for your comment. We’ve travelled throughout SE Asia over the past 10 years and we eat street food probably 90% of the time on our travels. We’ve never had a problem with the raw vegetables, fruit or ice. Eat at busy stalls populated by locals and where the food is constantly being churned out of busy kitchens. More often than not vegetables that are eaten fresh will be washed with filtered water and ice is always filtered water. I have often read travel advice of the type you mention about Vietnam and thought to myself- that pretty much leaves you with about 2 dishes as fresh herbs and vegetables are such a vital component of the cuisine 😝 I hope that helps! Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate Thanks so much Sheena, that totally squares with what some colleagues have been saying, so your reply is also very reassuring. We'll try to track down some of the places you explore by the flower market. Is there anywhere that you've posted addresses/names of the places you visit in the videos?
oops, sorry, I see you've posted above!
Nigel Pollitt no problem! Have a wonderful time. And yep- all details for where we ate in this series (4 videos) are in the descriptions 😄. Happy eating!
