it's walking away
vietnamese lunar new year is right around the corner and i'm so excited for all the
good food so today i decided to invite some of my foreign friends to come here and try
some of the vietnamese dishes during vietnamese lunar new year aka Tet and they are from lsv which
is let's speak vietnamese and we'll see if they are fans of vietnamese cuisine hi my
name is andreas i'm from beautiful austria in europe uh hi my name is hanna and i'm
from the united states xin chao, my name is Ewan, I'm from England. Hello, my name is Mark, I'm from England
Hi, I'm Romain and i'm from france i'm priscilla and i'm from mexico hello i'm roshan i'm from wales
hello i'm kevin i'm from australia
Tet- lunar new year yeah big celebration i guess it would be the biggest celebration here in Vietnam right
right it seems quite similar to christmas so everyone stayed with their family yeah
similar vibes to christmas definitely uh they have kumquat trees they're they're little
little orange orange fruits
uh they give out lucky money so whoever is that yours like the first person that will
enter your house after that like outside person should be like someone who brings luck otherwise
you will be like unlucky earlier so it's really important to have someone but that one depends
on also their zodiac sign like like the years they were born in especially young people
they get asked when they get married and when they have their kids quite a lot around that
that's what i've been told red red red
oh it's red
this is sticky rice cake yes with onions and with soy sauce banh chung is the most popular food
for vietnamese luner new year
You can do it! It's a monster
oh wow that's so good that is so good it looks like tuna that's true
that's good i really like
it i love that one the rice isn't just regular rice it has like this almost banana flavor
it's like a you can taste the banana leaf around it almost it's like seasoned and then
the meat is like a salty um hearty kind of center and the mung bean kind of glues it
all together along with the stickiness of the rice yeah this does remind me of like
mexican tamales which is like corn instead of rice it's corn and inside these meats yeah
i think i have black meat inside no mung beans the pickled onion gives a nice contrast too
because it's really thick and heavy and then when you eat the pickled onions like light
and sharp and crunchy and we've been dancing i'm like i'm loving this
i think i prefer that so this one yeah i like the crunch but it's more oily i'll give like
that like a five it's a lot like an eight like this is so much better eight point five
for that one so yeah i'm gonna give it like a seven point five
oh no to me nine it's on my heart seven yeah i like the filling with the rice is good too
ten out of ten
you hear the sound yeah i hear the sound like mushroom and meat only
not bad
it's actually okay
cheers
so inside they have pork mushroom uh pig ears what ears it's like cold it's too cold
like it has a weird coldness to it
oh not not for me what is the i wouldn't eat it to me no no go i just i can't connect with
this food i can't just get
i think the flavor's alright the actual meat but just the texture of the jelly in the meat
is just horrible not my favorite definitely not my favorite um i'd give this also a one
yeah for me it's okay it's a five minus one because of the pig ears
this is vietnamese glass noodles this scares me yeah i'm most afraid look like eyeballs
here so oh what is this wait okay i'm gonna show you for the camera i think it's it's
someone's piece of something
it's an egg mmm egg roll breakfast i think it's really nice it's like it's like slimy
but in in a nice kind of slimy and that is chewy but like a good kind of chewy
what is that for me it was like a really nice chicken and mushroom pot noodles yeah it's
nice it's nice it's not like super meaty before i would give it a second i'm gonna give it
like for three it's not like
intestines
it's walking away this one seems like normal so i've actually never had boiled chicken
really in vietnam no i've never had boiled chicken like a lot of vietnamese food is very
like spiced up and has like a bunch of flavor and then chicken is just like a chicken it's
like just boiled you want us to do like a little fist bump that's going to be so weird
cheers so basically i i had it before because i went to this vietnamese co-worker place
it would be like a great honor for me like to eat a full like but massive chicken leg
and everybody was watching yeah yeah and they expect it to be like do you like it right
and if you say you don't it's like, dishonour!
Wait what did you just eat? Did you just eat his butt. No!! Let me see! Oh I think that's his butt
Where is the head?
Oh there is his head. Ok I'm done, I'm done
I'm gonna give it a four too. Meh, five
It's too plain for me i think we have more flavors, and it's a four
Xoi gac and vietnamese baloney all right uh i have the meat in banh mi but not the rice yeah i know
i've never known what it is i'm just like eating it thinking of me look how orange my
fingers are oh wow this is really nice it's so compact it is that meat it looks like tofu
or something it doesn't like proper meat but i don't think i've had this before i think
i've had something that looks similar but i don't think it looks like cinnamon reminds
almost kinda reminds me of pumpkin i give it like um 8.5 like i could eat this for lunch mmm all right it's
quite high last one was the seven this is going to be like at least an eight eight nine
maybe a nine i don't know
well i mean i had spring rolls but i'm not sure exactly the same super crunchy something
for you maybe like not shrimp but like crab or something poor carrots onions and noodles
in it
so nice
can i finish all of them. I can eat this every day yeah i for sure eat this every day i rate this it's
a 7.5 yeah a solid 7.5 it's really good. I''ll give it a 8
Yeah, That's really nice, I'll think I give it a 9
I'm gonna give it a ten. I'll give it a nine
Bamboo shoots with ribs
it's very light like i was expecting like huhh it would be fats or something bamboo
Bamboo, I love bamboo
It's a bit like carrots, crunchy bit and soft at the same time
the microwave and it smells like the entire house smells terrible like a really
but like my first encounter with bamboo shoots was my roommates who would like eat them in
bad first time console so so i've never actually had bamboo shoots before but i've actually
had bamboo back in the states but it's in the can so it's very different than it is
here because it's not as fresh it's like i guess in the brine so it's very very mushy
and give it like seven it needs spice i need
maybe like um give it like a six out of ten i would give it six point five i'm used to
more heavy soups and also like cream soup so i need some flavor in here
oh god that's why it's called salted egg oh yeah you're telling me you like that yeah it's
nice but there's sausage in that it's so easy nice combo
the white part the white part just tastes like pure salt yeah oh thank you you are live saver
lifesaver after announcing it i'll give that a night right with the rice and the sausage
that's actually really nice if i ate any more of that egg i would do that
how do you think this is lucky if you rate this five out of five i'm gonna be it's at
least to seven i maybe even got eight it's pretty nice i think guys i can't breathe
spring rolls for them my favorite was definitely in the bench 100 uh i reckon the spring rolls
probably the best probably one of the best spring rolls i've had in vietnam so i don't
know i think like my i was great for the spring rolls but the one that really surprised me
was fine it wins my least favorite chicken jelly yeah chicken is really not my thing
