A big thank you to Ridge.com for sponsoring this video! After making it to Ho Chi Minh City and spending a great day exploring and touring the historic sites and destinations from a wonderful tour guide Linh from a volunteer organization named Saigon Hotpot, it was time to enjoy the evening to the great meals and seafood this city has to offer. And thanks to David from @DavidSriracha who suggested trying something called a 199K buffet for great Vietnamese fare and seafood for about $8, I decided to give it a try.
In humid 37c weather, it was nice to find an outdoor street side buffet with plenty of seafood that were increably fresh! Make that lively fresh! With a welcoming atmosphere, hungry patrons, and ice cold beer, the feast was about to begin.
Not only was it a buffet, but add to that a charcoal grill and hotpot together, and all for $8 was incredible value. From fresh scallops, lively shrimp and fish, and crustaceans of all sorts, it was an epic experience.

All that seafood for $8... amazing. Thanks for bringing us along 😊

I felt so bad for you Tim, sweltering in the heat & humidity. Time for a cold shower and hydrating with plain water. Thank you, Tim, for showing us affordable eats with the Locals. Time for some Imodium. Take care & God bless you, my friend. Stay safe!!
Tim, thank you for toughing out the weather to give us great content! High temperatures and humidity makes it feel like a sauna.
Tim your editing is getting really good 👍. Also, love these series of Vietnam. Hopefully, you can travel to more countries as your channel grows. ❤❤❤❤❤
Sounds like a wonderful tour... I love hearing & learning the history of places .. sounds like an adventure 😊
I was surprised to find such a great program they have there for tours... great people and would highly recommend 🙂
Foods raw or cooked?
What a fun adventure. Everyone who meets you seems happier for it. They all love being part of the presentation.
It was just a fun experience... very hot though! 😉
Wow.
Interesting choices!!
Ty Tim for sharing
Thank you so much Tim for an amazing video in a super hot weather. I'll go to Vietnam in August for 3 weeks, from the south, Saigon all the way to Hanoi. I've been watching most of your videos. And will try all the buffets that you have been to in VN. Thanks again!!!
Tim, you are a culinary Indiana Jones !!
Oh, I wonder which Indiana Jones movie had the monkey brains 🤔
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.
They need to put a fan next to you. This man is jeopardizing his life for us to see him eat!! 👍
$8 is a great deal for all the seafoods.. can't go wrong... best to have it during winter time.. cheers!
Waiting on CZcams to up the quality. Super excited to see this gem you found! Hope you're keeping well and travelling well! 💕

Good morning Tim from Texas, now I want to eat some phó today love your video of the Saigon!😎👍🏼
Wow, Tim! You were suffering in the heat but you still managed to make a great video as always. I was getting a little queasy from the heat and the frog legs. You are a walking miracle! haha Cheers!
Good job Tim!
Looks sweaty and tasty lol 😅 thanks for the video!
It was so hot and humid 🥵
Thank you for sweating it out with us Tim. I wanted to chew your beer . You did a great job and food looked fabulous
Im very happy to see you again
Oh wow!!! I was like oh my real live fishes I was like oh oh lol but I guess it is a great experience! Thank you Tim
I could never eat in that heat! Your a trooper Tim.
I believe the white cold salad is hearts of palm.
Awesome Tim...
Razor clams are so cute, i was at the beach last week and found some shells from them on the sand. I can't imagine how hot it was there, you were drenched. the blue crab was so pretty.
It was so hot and humid there 🥵. Really impressed how the other people coped with the heat🙂
One of the best food review channel.
Good video greetings from Indonesia 🇮🇩🙏🏽
Warmest greetings from my hometown of Vancouver Canada 😀
Tim! Omg the hot humid heat is too much to enjoy the food.
"How do you pick? How do you pick?"
[Woman picks up crab with her fingers]
Brilliant 😂😂😂
Hi Tim we love you and your channel please enjoy Vietnam
That food looks great Tim. Lol at the bacteria comment of the food “ if they can survive the heat, they deserve to live “. Thanks for another great video.
Great video 👍...glad you enjoyed yourself...the big shell earlier is a type of scallop...you ONLY eat the center...safe travels and God Bless 😘🤗💕
Good to know 🙂... The outer parts were quite gritty 😬😉
Excellent video bro, can't wait to go back to Vietnam, My Favorite, Vietnamese, Shushi, Indian, with real spice level not watered down.
Wow! Such an adventurous buffet experience! Fighting with the bbq pit and the hot pot under such a hot weather…. Plus the frog leg with skin, chicken feet, moving crabs, unknown shell fish.…. Definitely needs a lot of efforts and hard works! Tim, you are such a buffet hero! If I were there, I would probably just stick on the fruit and desserts…. Salute 🫡
It was certainly quite the adventurous experience! Very warm and hot from the weather in vietnam. It was interesting because there were many things I wasn't able to film.. a lot of the frog legs were still moving 😬😉
I've been to tropical and humid countries. Best thing to bring is a small towel to wick sweat away and maybe a hat too. Great food.
I do like that kind of eating re cook your own protein etc - but it looks so humid and hot - and such hard work. Good on you for doing this Tim. Maybe I'm a bit posh but not 'my deal'. x
Tiger is one of my favorite beers 🍺
I've never seen you sweat this much Tim lol
Great video as usual ❤
Wow you’re in Vietnam, thanks for sharing this 👍😋
Looks good 👍
👋 Tim
Thanks for bringing us along. I love watching your videos. Your one of my favorite.
@TimLeeLetsGo Mr Lee you really know how to enjoy buffet. the razor snails and seafood are the best. Grilled squall meat are one of the best!!! Do not eat the frog unless they well prepared with ginger or lemongrass or chili pepper to get rid of the strong smell.
Love ya work

Becoming a big fan of urs Tim..love from India❤
Some of the food was a bit “exotic” for my palate but you venture forth and give it a try for your viewers. Seems the heat is a huge factor there but you conquered your discomfort to bring us another wonderful video. I hope you returned to an air conditioned hotel room, some lovely sparkling water and a cool shower! Thanks for bringing us along. 👍🏻🌹👍🏻
Cheers to you.
Finally I see your HCM city food.
What an experience. I don't think it would be for me though, the heat and humidity would finish me off before I got started on the food.
Hi Tim, awesome video. I went to a similar buffet in Vietnam and there was so much loud music. How did you knock down the music for this buffet. I had to scrap my episode because the music was so loud.
Hi Tim, we really enjoyed your series on Vietnam. We, 7 of us, will be taking a cruise to Asia including Hong Kong, Nha Trang, Singapore and Keelung. I love the idea of using a college tour group while were there. Do you know if there are similar college student tour group at any of these locations? If so, how much do they charge and how can I contact them? Thank you.
Ask your hotel concierge…there are college tours of city
Goodness it must be Hella hot..... I'm going in December so it should be cooler I hope
Just a word of advice....i was on a Royal Carribbean cruise passing by Ho Chi Minh City 5 yrs ago and ordered a durian milkshake from a popular busy restaurant...it got me food poisoned....so be careful out there when you visit the city its water and ice not as clean as USA. Got a good one day rest in my cabin and luckily survived!!! :)
Wow - a grill and a hot pot. I like frog legs but never had chicken feet or quail. I describe frog legs as chicken that's been sitting in the water for a while. Maybe if you had also grilled the chicken feet, might have been better. What was the green sauce? Cilantro? Chilie? I've seen it before in this series. Stay cool Tim!
You are a brave man to eat some of the items on that buffet.
Frogs legs are DELICIOUS I had them in France back in the 1990's when I was in the Army!! I was scared at first, but the first taste was excellent...🥰
Like chicken 😂
Tim, you threw back those beers. 😂
Thanks Tim for another Delicious Video. Looks like you're getting a tan. I'd stay away from the chicken feet and live food. Stay Safe. 🐔
Tim enjoy your meals.once i try to eat ricefields frog in hongkong.the taste is better than chiken.enjoy your tour in saigon.God blessed
Tim, Great Buffet. Grill them chicken feet. Really tasty with a slight char. I like frog legs Cooked without skin or breading. Your 'adventure' with this Buffet was one of joy and wonderment of this food. I believe that You really enjoyed it, I think. I envy you your dining experiences in far flung places. By the by, like so many of us you are a bit loquacious. 😎 Best
Yeah, I mentioned grilling the chicken feet too. Only time I had frogs legs they were steamed. I'd eat them again in a minute.
Heyyyyy Tim!!! 👋🏾👌🏾♥️
Nice video 🎉
Thank you so much😀
at 17:19 - wow, i have never ever seen raw skin on freshly cut frog legs before, or eel squirming around on a plate either, wow! my hubby would run full speed out of this place, lol
its still only showing 360 vs hd, so its splotchy but after 2 hours, you would think that it would be hd.. still, looks so yummy
oh god very cheap buffet price with many fresh foods, love it
Tim, no concern with drinking the water/ice? Thank you for the great content.
Hi tim great as always must I must admit it seemed like a struggle cooking your own food while looking so hot and sweaty and you were washing that beer down seem like every chance you got lol I just felt sorry for you in that heat. Thanks for sharing
I kept thinking the straw in your beer was going into your eye! Haha. Take that silly plastic straw out next time! 🤣
Those are the dangers of drinking in a foreign country 😂
@@TimLeeLetsGo 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is hilarious. No, I don't eat outside unless it's under 70F (21C) I'm in Texas and the heat is no joke!
Top Tim
Sucesso
Oh yummy 😋
Delicious... but warm 😉
Your sweating like crazy Tim. It must be super hot out there in beautiful Vietnam 🇻🇳
Hello Tim Lee
Tim, you looked like you were melting. Thanks for all your great videos.
It was so hot and humid even at night 🥵😉
I hope me and my wife can visit vietman...
Looks very hot and humid - the warm cans of beers must be frustrating; I don’t think that piece of ice at 19:50 - even if it is large - would be enough to cool down that warm can of beer
Going to pass on that heat. My goodness 😅 but thank you for showing us!
It was extremely hot and luckily the beers helped😉
xin hoi dia diem la o dau...may i ask where's this seafood buffet located at? thank you!
Dang dude... 2 shirts 👕 in saigon? You're brave 😂😂😂
No way I could enjoy eating in the heat, but the food did look good. 😊
Tim is sweating his butt off.
I think because he wore double layer top
❤ho chi minh saigon😊
Unbelievably hot and humid inside the restaurant 😂😅😅😅
9:47 - me again, they pulled the claws off or tucked them in with the rubber band, it appears so the crabs are safe to pick up.
You looked like you were in a sauna. You’re hilarious when you don’t like something. Good to see you. You were practicing safety with your food and bag. LOL
Besides Japan and Hong Kong, many restaurants in South East Asia don't have enough air conditioning to lower the price. For example, in Singapore's hawker food centers, you must get used to the heat while having sizzling hot soup. The locals are used to it like the cook behind a hot stove at 98F degrees.
@@jasonlucas2328 I would smell like bacon cooking being overweight. LOL
Looks hot and humid over there. I would worry about the buffet being in that hot environment (both raw and cooked items). To be honest, I think it would be hard to enjoy eating when it is so hot and humid. Interesting how the locals are used to the heat. The buffet and price point looks great though! How much was each can of beer?
also, why have layers on when its so hot out. just my thoughts.
looks like a cool foodie joint but i really would need a/c too hot for me lol...
Hi Tim
Hello 👋
(Tim dripping with sweat from the humidity) "well a nice boiling hotpot and piping hot chicken wings should help"
It was crazy warm and humid... I never had so many beers during dinner (while filming)😉
I'm,curious when is the temperature cooler?
this man tim is sweating bullets. Meanwhile the locals are just fine lol
I don't know how they manage with the heat and humidity 🥵
Tim sweating like a teenage boy whose parents got into his browser history.
Lovely Bro.. Please visit MALAYSIA and SINGAPORE buffets..
Show Drinks and Desserts...
Cheers,
