What an amazing day! For a young man, Quân really knows his food. i can't begin to thank him enough. Also want to thank all the people who recommended dishes for us to try. We tried for a a few more recommendations but unfortunately they fell through. Let me know in the comments what your favourite in this video was.
We ate mostly everything we ordered. I couldn't do much more than a couple of bites of the Tiet Canh and we had one place we stopped at that didn't make into the video because the food was awful and another that I cut due to time. Nothing wrong with the food at this place. Just It wasn't recommended and I saw it as we were walking down the road.
Oh and the silken tofu is not a younger generation thing. The older generation also eat it. I was trying to clarify in the video with Quan this exact point. He does clarify the establishment is a younger generation hang out spot and you won't see may older people there but he also clarifies that the older generation likes it too. And anybody here in the.comments can say whatever they want about silken tofu but this place is packed every single day, at any time of day during operation hours with all Vietnamese patrons as you can see in the video. I was the only foreigner there. So it seems the Vietnamese that actually live here do appreciate the silken tofu.
Vietnamese people prefer chewy meat on their chicken. The chickens are naturally grown so are more muscular/sinewy than the factory farmed chicken in the West. If you were paying, then he should have taken you to the best cha ca place vs something that's just good enough for the price so you can get the best experience. I think the first few dishes had too many similar boiled noodle soups that are a bit more on the bland side for most people...including the boiled duck. Not sure why Vietnamese people insist on introducing dishes like that to Westerners. I'd have gone for the fried duck with curry leaves vs the boiled stuff. To me, boiled chicken/duck are humble everyday meals that should be eaten at home with family, not so much a dish you'd introduce as one of the best dishes to introduce to someone who is there for a brief period and want to showcase the best eats. All the tiet canh I've seen on video look bland compared to the tiet canh I've seen my parents making and eating growing up. Seems like it should have more herbs and whatnot. And why oh why do Viets always show Westerners silken tofu? Boring ass dessert that you can get all over Asia and is bland compared to the other stuff out there. Nothing unique about that dessert at all. I actually didn't like it as a kid and thought it's horrible compared to other desserts. If they're not showing that, they are showing fruit bowls with condensed milk. Really? Jeeze.
@@oxoelfoxo I'd go for something like what Jayesh Chayya showed here czcams.com/video/N3TbStd-e24/video.html. That to me is more unique and delicious than silken tofu or fresh fruit in condensed milk. There's plenty of che varieties out there to choose from. My favorites for the summer will include various combinations of jellies, fresh fruits, coconut milk/cream, etc. I love che troi nuoc for the winter months or similar warm types of che. There's a che made from pomela rind that doesn't necessarily look or sound great, but at least it's unique. I would avoid the che that are made with tapioca and a combination of either corn, bananas, black-eyed peas (or whole beans), etc. Nothing special about those. Another che Viet people love to trot out is che ba mau...again, why when there are so many better ones out there. There are are also different desserts (not necessarily che) made with a ton of ingredients using jellies, yogurt, flan, sticky rice, ice cream, etc.
I love Bun Thang , but not the Muscovy duck soup ( I don't like all kind of ducks because of their smell ) . Me neither I can't eat Mam Tom , also because of its strong smell . You should tell your western friends that not all the Vietnamese people eat Mam Tom , dogs , cats , rats , snakes , lizards , worms and other weird foods . Just only a small minority of Vietnamese people eat those stuffs . That will help to erase all preconceived ideas that most foreigners have about Vietnam and its people .
Makes total sense. Here in North Vietnam there is a preference to tougher /chewier meat. Not just the chicken. As I said in the video, it's not a negative thing though. It works perfectly
Cute and super couple -- You're ( You+Quân+ Max Farlin) specialists "Michelin" in food !!! Phở, Bánh Mì, Bún Chả are only ordinary meals in Vietnam .... In Vietnam, there's hundred dishes better than Phở, Bánh mì, bún chả, ....
Cái thịt gà bạn ăn trong videos nó là giống gà bản địa của người Việt Nam và nó được nuôi bán chăn thả, thời gian nuôi là 160 ngày vì vậy chất lượng thịt cũng như mức độ an toàn cực kỳ cao ( nó không hề còn 1 chút dư lượng kháng sinh cũng như vaccine nào trong cơ thể). Nó không giống với giống gà siêu thịt được nuôi 40 đến 45 ngày vì thời gian ngắn này phải dùng quá nhiều kháng sinh và vaccine, hơn nữa thời gian đào thải không đủ. Chúc bạn vui vẻ ở Việt Nam
@@PureDetour Nhưng cái đáng buồn là người chăn nuôi thường thua lỗ vì chúng được bán quá rẻ, bạn sang nước tôi bạn biết rồi đấy, thực phẩm rất rẻ, rẻ đến đau lòng

Quân is awesome. That young man is going places
Nice video's ❤
Keeping up with PURE DETOUR! what's up Geoff!
All is well, Alan. Have been on the move constantly for two weeks but settling into another country for a bit.
oh my god, all the food was so fresh, I salivated so much while holding the chemical-filled sausage in my mouth😂
😂 best comment ever 😂
I was late for the party. Did not get notification😂
No worries, Sadohr, you're always here. 😁 I am late on replies as it has been a crazy last couple of weeks
Quan should start his own vlog!
100% agreed, Lloyd. I showed him your comment here.
😋😋😋
❤️
The chewy chicken is mature chicken
Yes, I have had many tell me that.
did you and Quân eat everything you ordered?
i can't believe silken tofu with light syrup is a mostly for the young 'uns, to me it's the opposite!

Quan quit your actual job and become a tour guide. It's in you mate
Agreed. Or start his own CZcams channel highlighting all the amazing food Vietnam has to offer
FIRST TO COMMENT!!!! OH Yeaaaahhh
He actually speaks good English lol
He must have gone to immersion school because he speaks English better than a lot of viet ppl in the US!
@PulseGaming050, He speaks fantastic English. Much better than my English and English is my native language lol.
@idesdemars68, I never even thought to ask him where he learned to speak English so well. Quite possibly he did go to an immersion school

I don't have "western" friends😂
Southeast Asians appreciate our native species of chicken. Not your Supermarket varieties.
