so we have spent the last month traveling around Vietnam and while we have tried lots of the street
food here we've got to Hanoi and things are a little bit different they have their own fruits
and also their own takes on Foods we've seen elsewhere in Vietnam wow I love that we're here
in the old quarter of Hanoi and everywhere you look there is Food Markets vendors Street Food
Stores Salt fruit on the side of the street it's insane it like melts into it and it gives it like
really nice flavor what's this I don't think we've ever explored this much before your mouth watering
there yeah this is the first time we've worn out without a plan of things to eat because it's so
easy to find food to eat here let's see what we find so welcome back to my Channel or welcome if
you're new here my name is Josie and you may be wondering Josie why are you wearing a drum pot
in Southeast Asia well it is freezing cold today and it is the first cold day I've had traveling
literally all year since we left Australia so I'm really interested in the difference
of weather between winter here in Vietnam so I'm hungry though let's find the first stop
okay so it's breakfast time so I'm looking for something for breakfast um I've seen that they
have egg and cheese bun me so I'm gonna grab one of them and then maybe a cafe two up because you
know I love coffee but we're in Vietnam so we're gonna get a Vietnamese morning coffee
where's the egg where's the egg one oh yeah I'm excited so this is actually technically I guess
vegetarian I'm not vegetarian I just like egg for breakfast so we're gonna have that in the Bun Me
so I know you're saying find me fax you it's very Southern Vietnam but no matter where you are I
generally think you either have a what's this bun made or a fur but I'm not a noodle person
so for breakfast but I'm not a noodle person so I'm gonna go with the egg and cheese ban me 25
000 Vietnamese dog oh it looks good look at this I have a feeling that's sweet chili and I don't
like chili so let's try honestly there's a bit too much sauce on that for me kind of drowned out the
rest of the flavors but I love the egg Von meat I love it with egg I don't know I think the egg
might be my favorite and I love meat so walking and we found this coffee house so Michael got a
cafe Den which I think might be like this is some Vietnamese coffee and I have a Mac still
I know back steel is from Saigon I'm pretty sure but it's absolutely delicious which is
very strange because I don't like sweet coffee so I must just like sweet milk thank you okay
so Michael's Vietnamese coffee is just looks like straight black coffee which
I actually might like so yeah oh I don't think you'll like that one would you like
it maybe yeah yeah but I do love a back seal so it's like a Milky coffee I think
it's actually more like milk than it is coffee which is strange because I like
coffee but it's really nice it's always been my favorite ever since getting to Vietnam
sorry I'm having this one I think it's a sweetened condensed milk but
it's just so nice like it's it's a such a sweet coffee which like I
said I don't normally like so I don't know why I like this I just love it
foreign
okay so I just went and ordered this but I'm not sure what it's called and I wasn't recording the
entire time they were so helpful my camera stopped recording anyway so they look like
really like sweet balls I'm not sure we got one of everything they were really nice so sorry you
didn't get to see that but let's try them anyway four different kinds of flavors or something they
smell super sweet like basically a bag of sugar they all look a little bit different one has seeds
on them one's like plain one has like what looks to be like sugar like on the outside wow I love
that so it's really thick it's kind of hard to describe the outside is really like crispy with
sugar on it and the inside is really thick kind of like a whole bunch of like rice so this plain one
feels like there's something like on the inside or something like that what is that and the olives
or something I'm not sure it's still sweet though what is that you don't even know either maybe mung
bean all right so this is a sesame seed one oh the outside is confusing because like the seeds remind
me of like bread but the inside's really sweet I'm not sure what the inside bit is so this is
the one that looks like it has some kind of glaze on the outside that's like if you are harder show
up sugar glaze or something that's my favorite what's your favorite tell me in the comments below
so I just went past a shop that sells contam but I actually had that on my first day ever in Vietnam
so I'm gonna leave that on the screen for you to watch and down below so you can see that one after
this video it's actually really interesting it was my first experience of street food in Vietnam
so we're on the hunt for something else to eat and then we're gonna finish with a very local
food you know what it's called that's the thing to get here Anthony Bourdain fans will remember
he had it in the famous Anthony Bourdain Barack Obama photo okay I don't know him but Anthony
Bourdain is one of Michael's like Idols so so we are here at bancha I'm so excited I think this is
gonna be really good I don't know I think it's like noodles with like a sauce soupy thing and
some like meat as well so I'm really excited for this hello uh how do I get buncha which one is it
um all special traditional is this one good you like that okay we just get one okay okay thank you
okay yeah 45. I think the thing to note is that whenever we try local food which we
try and do everywhere we go it's kind of like originated maybe somewhere else and then people
have changed it a little bit to make it their own and to suit their own countries like tastes
and spices and whatnot but buncha is thought to have originated literally right here in Hanoi
so I'm really excited to try something that's come from here stayed here and it's the same
here thank you this looks so good I'll grab some Chopsticks I don't even know how I'm gonna eat
all of those noodles you have your like little soup here it's got carrots some other kind of
vegetable oh thank you thanks so much we have all these like different vegetables in there
um I guess that's to give it flavor I think it's got fish sauce and some stuff in there to make
it taste really good do you know yeah it's like diluted fish sauce with like garlic chili vinegar
chili in a sauce it'll be vinegar so that's in there now what you're supposed to do I think is
get the like noodles and like put them in the sauce and like eat them and then you have the
pork here on the stick and it looks really good I don't know how it sticks to this stick oh it's
in the middle it's in between it yeah that was so cool this one has three sticks worth of meat
honestly you get quite a bit of food for that so something really funny we're sitting here watching
the traffic is that no one actually stops like everyone just continues to drive and just beats
them that they're there yeah even the other parts of Southeast Asia they're like slow down and like
scope out where you are but this one they just go there's no slower no one's slowing down look
that soup is delicious I'm not a soup person so I don't know why I like it but it makes these
noodles taste so good so I'm gonna try this pork I'm not actually sure how you're meant to eat it
maybe with the I think you personally no you're supposed to push it out and then eat it with a
that is so good I don't know what makes it so good maybe the fact it's like made into like
a meatball type texture or like the type of pork or something I'm not sure but like
this is really good hello how much
sixty thousand dollars come on thank you what's this lemon tea
yeah just can I have one here take away how much a 15 15. yeah okay
yeah thank you thank you all right so we just walked past this shop and we saw everyone having
this team hang on can you see yeah so everyone was having the tea so I was like what is it it's
lemon oh it's in a bag oh for some reason this is hot or cold it's cold okay he said lemon tea
so I'm gonna try it so it's in like a little bag uh fifteen thousand dollar for the thing for me
oh that is so cool yeah probably not good for the environment but handy
well oh my God okay that's strong
it's like sweet and sour at the same time that's really strange it's got like a sour like bitter
aftertaste but the first initial sip is like super sweet so it must be like lemon and sugar
yeah I know can you try wow I took a while to process oh super refreshing surely this is like
super popular on really hot days it just isn't but yum so the awesome thing about Hanoi is I
don't think we've ever explored this much before like you can literally walk around here and Oh
I thought I was going to get rid of oh we're getting run over you can walk around here walk
through these Alleyways and there's always things everywhere there's like restaurants
like nails place go the other side and then they're both between us okay everything's
around these Alleyways and they all like connect to each other as well so you can just walk through
here and everything's so beautiful and you all end up like somewhere else in the city
yeah it's like fun you'll find something anywhere everywhere but this is yeah Pub
Street beer Street I don't know and you've got all of these like uh pop bars is that what they
call I don't know I don't drink but all these open up later on and you can come and sit and
watch the game and things so all right we are back to where we started from this morning we
have gone for a massive walk and probably circled all of Hanoi at this point oh so let me know your
favorite food down below if you're from Vietnam or if you're not what you think you would like
the most mine was the buncha what was yours the bunra oh that was your favorite I think that was
my favorite like dessert anyway leave me in the comments below subscribe if you haven't already
