Leaving that damn cold clam was the right move! The first time I drank salt coffee, I was scared.
But I fell in love with it the second time, so I may change my preference after my taste buds get used to it!
In fact, fresh meat glutinous rice balls are a salty food that can be used as a staple food, and are usually cooked with vegetables!
It is different from sweet glutinous rice balls stuffed with peanuts or sesame seeds, and we would not call it a dessert!
I hope you can have a chance to try the orthodox salty glutinous rice balls next time!
Thank you for all your hard work in sharing all the real things in this world with us! And thank you for sharing the first video of 2024. 👍🥰🙌🎈🎉
Thanks Gianni I think I made the right decision too on the clams haha
@@LukeMartin It is my pleasure, thanks to you too! Yes, it is 100% the right decision. Take care! Happy and safe travels! 👍🥰🙏
@@LukeMartinaren’t you suppose to pour that hot broth into it?
@@rxff86exactly lol
Not sure how you can say that without knowing how the dish is meant to be eaten.
@LukeMartin For the cold clam dish, thats how it's served. The hot soup it comes with is meant to either be poured over on top or eaten seperately with the cold dish.
You should have see if Sonny from Best Ever Food Review Show could’ve given you some advice on where to eat while you were there. He’s definitely shown that among all the wonderful food in Vietnam there are some pretty questionable places as well. 😂 Good luck in your future Vietnam endeavors! ✌🏻😊
In Vietnam and Cambodia (maybe other countries in SEA but I am not sure) it is very normal to be served a pot of tea with coffee. Even if you order a coffee to go they will sometimes give you a tea along with it for free. Sometimes here in Cambodia you can order a can of coke at a cafe and they will also give you a pot of complimentary tea. I lived in Da Lat and they almost always gave a pot of tea for free when I would get a coffee with a friend.
The cold clams thing was weird but Vietnamese people might be able to explain it.
The notion that one city is the best city for food is weird to me. Osaka is better than Tokyo? Lyon is better than Paris? Hue is better than Saigon? I don't buy into those ideas so much.
Very good job luke and mink:)
I appreciate the fact you were honest and not everything you guys ate was amazing. Keep up the great work i really enjoy your work 👍
Thanks so much!!
@@LukeMartin your welcome
Thanks to his honesty and objectivity in this video, Luke has given a big boost to his credibility.
Too many food vloggers say everything is great or amazing or give thumbs up and it makes you wonder if you can trust their opinions. Keep up the good work, Luke.
he didn't do his research. Know nothing about the culture. That is not honesty that is ignorance.
My GF originates from Hue. She says they tend to have a slightly saltier palate and some dishes do indeed get served cold. In fact you will find many dishes served cold in VN and that is attributed to the hot climate. She finds it odd for me in the UK heating up cold food and vice versa for me eating hot food cooled down. It is just a matter of a different eating experience.
Vietnamese do not like cold food.. The rice clams he ate, should always be serve hot, well def not cold like he said.
@@mrcalipride cold as in cooled down. Not like out of fridge cold. You are wrong about the clam dish being served hot. Dish is commonly served cold. Just Google it too. It was a rainy cold day in this episode so I am not surprised if it felt colder.
@@qmaru14 dude. It's not served cold; obviously, it's not served hot like a soup, but the clams need to be heated up. The CZcamsr said it was cold, so there was definitely something wrong. By the way, Com hen is my favorite dish, and I make it all the time. He also probably forgot to put some of the clam broth into the bowl, which is the key factor in this dish. The only time Vietnamese really eat cold food is Dessert.
in vn,most of local food are salad based or sanwiches like banh mi which is derived from portugese pulled pork sandwich (pao con leitao) , the hot foods are usually fried stuffs, rare cooked fares in restaurants are cooked according to south china cantonse style :)
Thanks Luke for sharing the new episode. I made the salty coffee thing by accident by confusing sugar and salt and it was very bad. In the end, the girl's reaction was enough for the meat balls in syrup. 😲Happy New Year 2024 to you. 🎆🎆
I love Hue, can't wait to come back to visit and eat.
Bun bo hue in Hue is different in the South(Vietnam). I love the Bun Bo Hue in the South but if you want light flavor, small noodle, you will love the style in Hue. Banh bot loc, banh nam... is so good in Hue too!
Bruh the bun bo hue in the south ( saigon ) are not even bun bo hue anymore the way they made it so sweet ☠️
Love your honesty of Hue, luke. I didn't enjoy the food in that province either.
their food is Devine❤
Amazing!!!!
MSG is good for cognition and intelligence, tbh! Banh Bot Loc: Clear dumplings in your Banh Mi. I asked my biochemistry professor if there was any clinical trial supporting the thesis that MSG caused brain tumor or any medical problems. She said no by then!
Love your honesty. No sugarcoating at all. Bad food is always huge let down.
I almost mouthwatered watching u eat vietnamese foods. These people's prepared mouth watering items with different ingredients liked by every customers. 🤠
That banh mi w the meat drip sauce looks mind blowingly good. As for the bun bo Hue, you should have added those herbs into the bowl when it was brought out to you.
I used to live and work in VN and I maintain that VN seems to have the most "democratic" food culture/society in the world. By that I mean any ordinary person in VN, poor and just a manual laborer, can still access AND afford great food with fresh ingredients cooked by people that take pride in their food, anywhere in their town/city. In alley ways, in wet market, etc. And they have a variety of such great food too. Add in the cheap beer, cheap dessert like the "che" or just plain but sweet tropical fruit at the end of the meal, cafes all of the place, and I marveled at how they can eat a complete meal at such affordability. I can barely speak Vietnamese but my oh my how those food eatery proprietors enjoy talking to you. It's very different from the US how we go into our sterile franchise restaurants with zombies serving us mindlessly (through no fault of their own).
You should continue eating bad food its hilarious 😂
Mink is absolutely adorable and I love her food reviews! 😂❤
😊 thank you
She is adorable and her review is refreshing ,she makes me laugh, honesty is the best remarks….
Agree! ❤ Mink on your channel. 😊
i recently found your channel and i am obsessed ❤
Yay! Thank you!
Hi Luke, I wanted to ask if you're doing a food tour in Turkey again, I really like your videos about this country and its food.
take care ✌
Definitely want to come back to Turkey soon!
The MOST realistic food video to date!!! 😅
Excellent
Hue is known to be a city of cheapskates, they serve whatever leftovers they couldn't sell. Their business is for survival and not your well-being or gourmet vlogs. Adding more MSG is one way to cut corners. We appreciate you for calling them out with honest reviews. Vlog at your own risk, I wouldn't go crazy with street food in Hue unless you have a local fixer.
That is very interesting. I thought it was known as a city of friendly people? All people from Hue I met in HCMC tended to be more softer and gentler than local Southern Viets, and they all loved talking about how amazing Hue was/is and how the food is the best there...
How long have you been leaving Viet Nam ?
@@NGUYEN-TUAN-1975 leaving or living? I have families in Hue, boomers aren't the same after the war, they're damaged goods and left for hunger. Many have left for Da Nang and Hoi An to prosper.
The Bún Bò Huế is kinda salty for a reason, for you to add those veggies on!
Yeah this idi ot uncultured and don’t know how to eat
They can't all be winners :) kudos for not sugar coating!
i love minks food reviews btw, they're really pure and straight from the heart!
Absolutely!! Gotta be honest
Vietnamese coffee is good but super strong. It might be the coffee causing the heart palpitations. I always get that when I drink Vietnamese coffee, so I had to stop. Love the honest reviews though!
Good to know!
@@LukeMartinya it made your heart pump and even drunk ( dizzy ) so drink lot of water if you feel your heart raising and dizzy
Do not drink vietnam coffee with empty stomach unless you want to try the drunk coffee experience. Haha.
As always, great video.
Loved watching your first bite of each dish. Not sure what to expect. Looking foward to next Vietnam video (Hanoi?) Cheers Luke
Hanoi next :)
I love Mink’s honest reviews! 🌟
The bahn mi at 10k, having 3 of them is still cheaper than 1 in america 😂
My father told me to mix a lil bit of salt with coffee when I need to stay awake all night for work. But not too much coz it can make your heart beat faster n or make you dizzy
Hue cuisine is so special. They keep the best flavor of main ingredient right at the time when food's served. Hherbs and other ingredients reduce the sub flavor and support for the main ingredient.
Delicious🍲😋
Thank you 😋
I am so excited to go and try and these foods . Thank you so much for your honesty 😅
Hope you enjoy!
Went to the wrong coffee place! You need to try the salt coffee at Cafe Moi in Hue. Also, didn't go to the best restaurant there... forgot the name...
My mom has allergy to MSG,,,she literally blew up within minutes of ingesting it. Hence she avoid Asian restaurants for fear of MSG. Enjoy your video and honesty. I found Ming explanation was hillarious and can understand what she tried to say...😆
Shenanigans!
People don’t have allergies to salt. MSG is salt. People contain salt in their bodies and need salt to maintain life. Stop putting out misinformation.
Research has shown that having an allergy to MSG is a myth. You can be sensitive or allergic to foods containing MSG, but not to MSG itself.
Can she eat tomatoes? Deli meats? Potato chips? Everything seems to contain msg these days.
@@dattack1970exactly aye! The 3 highest concentrations of msg occurring naturally are ripe tomatoes, aged beef a day aged cheddar cheese. Msg gets a bad rap.
Most eatery in Vietnam will catered to you tastes, you should have asked them to heat up your clam rice and you had a bowl of warm stock on the table that you missed, also the bbh you should have asked them to make it less salty, always make polite request to make you dish to your liking, in Vietnam
Tried all of SE Asia.. Thai is to spicy for me . Nam is very variable. Laos not my cup of tea. Siem Reap Cambodia has my heart. Friendly people all different foods. I LOVE it.😍😍
Love your videos 🥰
Thank you!!
Ming is right. The meatball dessert is a mistake. I did not know Vietnam can be cold. I am surprised to hear you say it is freezing cold in another video in Vietnam.
Episode was so exciting,i think Mink has trying the best with her honest reviews.Hue is quite interesting city with unique food.Sometimes not all food tastes well and i appreciate to know what food doesnt taste that well,which is critical to get better food,while travelling
try adding salt to coke .I use to do that salted coke drink haha
Love your vdo
Không nhu nhiều khách du lịch khác, bạn đến đúng hai địa điểm có nhiều món ăn ngon nhất! HỘI AN &HUẾ..
Hue is a strange place for me, I visited it twice, and both timeI got mixed reaction. The food when it's good, it's the best thing I've ever eaten, but I also ate quite a fair amount of mediocre food there. And all the best versions of the Hue food I ate, I ate in other cities, like Da Nang (has much better Banh Canh Hue) or Saigon (better Bun Bo Hue). I dont know, maybe the food wasnt that bad, but my palette wasnt used to the Hue style of cooking.
Hello Luke Martin, I am one of your youtuber fan and i just wonder are you recently date different girl at the moment? cuz i saw the girl you are with seem different than before
msg is proven to not have any side effects. Is she sure its not the salty coffee she was drinking? lol
It's interesting msg seem to only cause issues in Asian food. Like, it isn't in cheese, chips, and other places.
@@mim0613 CRAZY RIGHT!!!
Здравствуйте я Узбекистана нам очень интересно твои видосы
Thank you!
Mink is amazing 😍
"Everything is not what it seems ".......... thats my ex right there 😂😂😂😂😂
Bun Bo Hue is one of my favorite Vietnamese soup. That's a shame that it was too salty. It's not supposed to be. That's the issue with food that I talk about a lot with chef friends. Just because it's "authentic" meaning it was made by a person from that region doesn't necessarily mean that it's going to be good. Just because I'm from Philly and I make you a cheesesteak, it's considered authentic, but I suck at cooking so it's awful. does that make it good cause it's "authentic" or food is just good base on who's cooking it.
❤
👍
Spot-on vid, Luke! Tho the background music is bit too loud, like louder than your voice tbh. Couldn’t hear you too well tho :)
Sorry about that, not sure how that happened!
Mink describing the pork dumpling dessert was hilarious😂
Totally agreed with Mink comment on the pork dumpling desert . Is weird for such combination 😅
Should definitely do a collab or two with local CZcamsrs like Daily Max or Sonny. Max & his friend Chris know all the good places to eat in Vietnam!!
Com Hen is a common working man dish, so it's not supposed to serve hot, never never hot Com Hen, but not cold either, maybe the weather had and affect on the level of coldness. Other dish I can fight with you but I agree I didn't like Com Hen either, considering it was so well known and I heard about it for so long, but the taste is not to my liking ........For Bun Bo Hue, like other eateries, rules of thumb look for places where lots of locals are eating .....
Yes I agree, we definitely could find better bun bo hue but the com hen was 😑
Minks heart rate increasing is probably from all the salt you were having, especially the salt coffee to top it off. Not the msg IMO :)
Mink is hilarious 😂
Definitely upgraded from Sabrina 👉👌
Street Food wise, I find Thailand to be far better than Vietnam, and I mean way way better. It’s not even close honestly…
I don't think so. Thai's food is too bad for me. Spicy and so much sweet 😢
Although Bun Bo Hue is originally from Hue but i prefer Southern version. Me and my friends travelled to Hue thinking best Bbh must come from Hue and we were wrong lol. We tried many places in Hue though
People can be allergic to MSG.... I didn't know that
Msg doesn’t have effect on you like she says.
Oops, accidental first
Đó là Bánh bèo có chỗ gọi là bánh lọc
First dish isnt for anyone 😂 if you have weak stomatch dont eat that dish yall , one of my favour dish 😁
Oh no not cold clams and seafood 👀🙈 that’s not good at all I’m glad you guys didn’t eat it. Some of the food is hot or miss I guess just like in every country. Thanks for sharing your experiences guys
Thanks Angie glad you understand!
@@LukeMartin oh I understand. It’s not good at all you could be really sick which would ruin your whole vacation. Glad you guys eventually found some decent food to eat
What a downer. Hard to believe busineses like that can sustain themselves. It is refreshing to see that not all street food is to die for even in the country of origin.
Have some cultural considerations!! Such an offensive title! Very poor choice of words and derogatory comments used throughout this episode!
That’s exactly how I felt. So many unnecessary comments and giggles. Disrespectful indeed.
I disagree. He was honest about his experiences.
Bro. The food is bad in most of Vietnam. That's why everyone is so thin. Eating is a chore, not a joy in Vietnam. Come over here and you can try to eat all the rotting meats, in the market. Maybe make your own video on it? (People and culture are great)
@@HNTGL where is "here"?
You just soft
vive l'Algérie 😍
Ta7ia dzeyer. Why are we viva l'Algerie'ing?!
whats the relationship with the video?
This video is disrespectful (the title alone is a clickbait). 👎
Yo just came back to the channel after a hiatus. Where is Luke's wife??
He dumped her!
oh no! what happened?@@rickyc7094
To be honest Luke your videos are getting boring because there is no need for your girl friend to repeat exactly what you say every time you eat something. We don’t need the same opinion twice!
Doesn't seem you travel much, know your area if you have hue as #1 Vietnamese Food City
A lot of people say it is
Bro I think you could have hit up Max McFarlin/Chris Lewis for a guide for your Vietnam series
speaking volume is low level Luke. Can't hear you without maxing out my speakers brother! Music is intrusive to your commentary. Not your best Luke.
Sorry about that will be fixed for next episode
Not always in the good faith
What’s happened to Sabrina?
I feel you needed more research on where to eat and what to eat. Or find a food guide. There are so many delicious foods in Hue that you could have eaten like banh beo, banh bot loc, banh nam, banh khoai, bun thit noung, just to name a few. And just the comments like eggs being weird in soup or being in a dark, sketchy, creepy alleyway…? You’re paying prob less than a dollar for the meal, what do you expect. They are trying to make a living and doing their best with what they have. Sorry but you just missed the mark on this one.
Good is good, bad is bad. No excuse. I think you r the one who need to learn more.
The representation for Hue’s food was not it. Lack of knowledge and unnecessary comments. Hence the recommendation of a food guide or doing more research would have made their experience that much more enjoyable. If I need to learn more please teach me thay giao 😂
hes been doing this for years im sure he gets it.
too much MSG will put you on edge
i don't understand what you mean " WORST STREET FOOD" ?
Your face says it all
you cant taste msg. uts just salty
黙って食うカットが少なすぎるから落ち着かない
Non of the foods or drinks in this video are appealing. So substandard for this region.
Mink, Mink YAY!!!
Actually, Hue cuisine is too conservative so the taste the foods are quite strange, even with other people from different regions of Vietnam. As a Vietnamese, I have to say that I don't prefer Hue cuisine.
sao những quán được dẫn đến nhìn dở vậy . Mình thấy cafe muối cũng nhạt nhạt ko ra đúng chất cafe muối . Người hướng dẫn lựa chọn quán ko hợp lý
I could tell that the Bun Bo Hue wasn’t going to be good just looking at it. The Com Hen is supposed to be hot. I wouldn’t eat it cold either. I been to Hue and I think the food is ok. The best Viet food is in Saigon, Da Nang, and Mien Tay. Ha Noi and Hue are ok.
ARE U TRY TO EAT DOG MEATS?
That girl is no gourmet.
WTF she's stunning ya melt
Yeahh she’s gorgeous and intelligent
I don’t want “gourmet” reviews.
Shes an upgrade from his previous one, I can tell ya that much
Nasty food.
Where is your wife????????
He isn’t married.
In past videos he was with a live in partner/wife. Nice girl. I guess they broke up......
@@helensherman1340 I am very aware of that, thanks. They were NOT married.
And it’s been about 2 years since they split up. So why ask?
Sorry. Just started watching again. Sooo its news to me.
@@helensherman1340she's married to someone else now so don't worry about her
Food in rural Vietnam is a punishment on the local people. So fucking bad outside the big cities.
You better come to Thailand Luke ,you will a variety of noodles soup.Thai noodle soup are better than other Southeast Asia countries.
