Good evening everyone! We're in Dalat!
And this is our first time here. And we arrived a few hours ago, took a nap
at the hotel, it's nighttime now. Pretty chilly.
We're at about 1,500 meter elevation, it's about 5,000 feet, so we're pretty high up in the mountains.
But behind me in the distance is the Dalat Night Market.
Very, very famous location here in Dalat and we're going to go check out all the street food and night market scenes,
and just kind of see what's there. Let's go guys!
When you enter the market, the first thing you'll notice is all the food.
There are sit-down restaurants and tons of street food vendors.
Our first stop was this street cart loaded with all kinds of meats, seafood, and veggies on skewers.
You pick the skewers you'd like to eat and then the vendor will grill it up for you.
Here's the different things we ordered. We got, it looks like, beef with a bunch of veggies on here.
Here's beef wrapped in some kind of a leaf.
Got some hot dogs, got some chicken underneath...
Ahhhh, it went into the sauce.
Filming fail!
And we got pieces of okra.
So that's going to go well with these various dippings sauces.
Hot green chili, normal red hot sauce, and I think that's hoisin.
Alright, first one we're going to try here is the beef wrapped in I believe this is Betel leaf.
I'm going to dip this in the green chili spicy sauce, go straight for the hotness.
So good.
*crack*
Oh! Got a piece of bone.
I think I just cracked my tooth!
Actually, the beef is minced with some other things.
It's very spicy by itself, there's a lot of seasoning in there.
With the Betel leaf, it's like a nice green, like Earthy kind of flavor to it.
But because it's minced, you do have to be careful there's pieces of cartilage and bone in there.
So chew carefully, so you don't crack your tooth.
Mmmm, yummy!
Got some okra.
Just going to use my hands because I don't care.
I'm going to dip it in that hoisin.
Grilled okra man, that's awesome!
And this is just a normal pork and veggie skewer.
Woah!
Smells really good.
I'm just going to have this by itself, no hot sauce.
Let me get some of this bell pepper here, green bell pepper.
One of my favorite BBQ items.
Here's some straight up just chicken on a skewer.
Chicken is very fatty.
The most iconic street food snack in Dalat is definitely Banh Trang Nuong,
also referred to by many as "Dalat Pizza."
We've got the famous, "Dalat Pizza", on the inside it's got all kinds of things.
It's got egg, it's got green onions, it's got ham, it's got hot sauce.
It's got some kind of ground shrimp stuff, it's got cheese.
Look, what is that? Mayonnaise? I have no idea, but this is going to be epically awesome.
Oh, and it's wrapped in a rice paper like tortilla.
This is as big as my head, it's steaming hot.
And it smells good, it smells awesome!
It's like an omelet burrito or something, let's try to eat it and not burn the roof of my mouth.
Oh my god
It's so crispy.
Mmmm
I have to take another bite.
The egg and the hot sauce, man, this is like breakfast.
Breakfast pizza burrito, I don't know how to explain it. It's so good!
Woah!
The cheese in there too, guys, really yummy.
I love that they just have some piece of paper wrapped around this.
It's so savory, a little bit salty, but really good.
Mmmm!
Alright, we're going to finish this and keep looking for some more food.
One side of the market focuses on selling clothing and souvenirs while the other areas sell tons of fresh produce
from all the abundant farms of the Central Highlands surrounding Dalat.
A popular street food I didn't expect to see were the French-style breads eaten along with
hot soy or corn milk.
When you sit down, they give you a plate of one of each kind of bread that they have up on display.
This is essentially a fried doughnut stick.
This one looks like a nice ball with sesame seeds on it,
I'm sure it's empty, like full of air inside.
This one looks like shu puff, shu cream puff?
Like from Japan, but I don't know. These are like very French in style,
like this looks like a croissant.
Like that looks pretty proper.
And this looks like some kind of a mini pastry thing,
which is pretty cool. And on your table there's also
a cup of sugar, so that way when you get your drink, you can add sugar to it if you want to make it more sweet.
Ok, we got our drink order, and this one here is corn milk,
and this one is soy milk. And they're both really hot.
In this glass - I don't know why they put hot drinks in glass, like that is soooo hot to the touch.
This is one of the most simplest ideas for street food,
but it goes very well, like everybody is drinking soy milk or corn milk,
and munching on bread.
Alright, we added some sugar into the soy milk, and the corn milk as well.
Just cause they were very bland by themselves.
I mean, they taste good by themselves, but we wanted to sweeten it up just a little bit.
Yeah, that's really nice with the sugar in there. Mmmm!
I'm going to take a piece of the doughnut bread, I'm going to dip this one into the soy milk.
Dunk it.
Woo hoo! Steaming hot, OK, I'm holding the hot glass. Woooo!
Look at that.
That's good.
I'm going to try that corn.
Doesn't smell like corn, though.
Oh!
Wow, but it does taste like corn.
I want to try this croissant little bun.
It does have the paper on the bottom, so you gotta peel that off.
Let's go ahead and rip that apart.
Yeah
Alright, dip this one in the corn.
Yummy!
Mmmm
I like that bread, nice soft bread. Mmmm. It's like a sweet roll.
I'm going to break this one open, and my prediction it's just full of air.
Let's find out.
Is there a way to reveal it like a clam?
Can I...? Can I do this on film? Is this going to work?
Ta da!!! Ok, yeah that's fail.
It's very tough on the outside, empty on the inside as I predicted.
Let's soften up this tough bread in the corn.
Not my favorite. This is very airy, there's a lot of pockets of air in the bread itself.
It's kind of tough on the outside, even dipped in the corn milk.
Yeah, not a winner for me.
So I think this is a shu puff, the shu cream puff thing.
Cause I can see some custard in here.
See that there?
Custard inside tastes like there's almost like coconut or something.
Hmmmm, not bad.
Last but not least,
is this little pastry thing.
It looks like there's crushed coconut inside.
What is that filling?
It tastes alright, the outside is really hard though.
Like way too dry for me.
Another popular area of the market is the giant stairs near the monument circle.
Many people enjoy sitting on the steps while eating street food snacks and watching the market scene from above.
Dalat is super famous for all of the agriculture around here.
The soil is super rich up at this altitude, and there's all kinds of stuff growing around here.
Coffee especially, like coffee... oh my god... so much coffee!
There's also a ton of strawberries, so everywhere around here we see strawberries.
A lot of amazing produce.
And one of the cool street food items that I really wanted to try here
is this very simple strawberry with sugar and syrup.
Yeah, here it is. As you can see.
It's super simple guys, it's just strawberry with sugar and some syrup.
Mixed up. And this is a really cool snack.
Alright!
Mmm!
Yeah, good! Super good!
It's like my childhood dipping strawberries in sugar. Mmmmm
