- Hi guys, welcome back to my channel
My name is Jessica and today, we're here with my mom
(cheer)
Today, we're gonna be doing a mukbang and we're gonna be eating spicy noodles
So these are plain right now 'cause I'm gonna do the sauce on camera
This is just 2 packs
We have 2 packs of the sauce here, and then
- 2 packs of the–
- Sesame
- Seaweed - Seaweed
Yeah
- Get a fork; it's easier
- No Mom, we're Asian
- Instead of doing a challenge, I decided to just do a mukbang with my mom!
- And my mom's going to beat me!
- No
Mom, this isn't a challenge!
- I'm going to beat you anyway
- Beat how, mom?
- I will
- Ua?
- Huh?
(phone ringing)
- It's right here
- Bo (my dad), I told you I'm filming with Trinh (my Vietnamese name)
An hour
- Let's put this one in!
- Time to eat!
- Yes, Mom
Good that we waited for it to cool off
- How-how can we compete, like–
time, or what?
- Mom, I don't want to compete!
- Oh, just eat hah?
- Mhmm
Mom, you just want to win
- For sure!
I want to win my daughter
- I challenged Mom to do this once at home
We were all like, "Oh, she's not gonna do it, like–
she's not gonna eat the whole thing"
But she actually did, just to prove us wrong
And then our dad cried while washing the dishes 'cause it smelled so spicy
- I thought, "I going–I going to die"
- Haha
First time I had this was with Tran (my younger sister) at home
- Mhm
I did a livestream on Instagram
and also, yes, we're allowed to have water
because it's not a challenge
- I will prove you I don't need any water
- No Mom, don't!
- Huh?
- It's not a challenge!
She really wants to win!
(GULP)
- Ok
- Spicy from the neck down
It–it in my–
- Ooh!
I feel it now
- Yeah, my tongue and my throat
- No, oh my gosh, you can actually feel it, like
the spice going down
- Yeah
- I didn't realize that until now
I asked you guys to send me questions on Instagram
so we're gonna answer some of those 'cause I saw some of them were interesting
Somebody asked, "Were there any moments where you 2 didn't talk to each other for a while?"
- Me and you?
- Mhm
- We talk all the time!
- Yeah
Mom calls me a lot too
- I know
- Every time she sees me leave my house,
she'll call me
'cause she tracks my location
- Yeah, I track them all
But it's because over here, they're small
but going Uber by themselves
- Uh-huh
- so I'm just scared
- Yeah
It makes sense though, 'cause sometimes
for certain events, they're like, really late
I come back at like, 2am in the morning
'cause it's not just the event
You met up with your friends there and then
after that, they want to go out to eat
and then it's like, travel time too
so it ends up being like I get home really late
I think everybody should be sharing their location with at least 1 person
Like
Family member of friend, it doesn't matter,
but
I think everybody should share their location with at least one person because
human trafficking and stuff like that is really dangerous
If nobody knows where you are–
or also, you see those murder mysteries all the time and they're like, "oh"
The murderer lies and they're like,
"Oh, she's just on vacation, like–"
"she'll be back", but if she had her location shared...
Actually, Mom, you used to read a lot of those news articles
about people going missing and stuff
- Mhm
Well, but those are really depressing
so that's why I stopped watching the news
- My mom told me a story about the wolf–
the 4-year-old girl?
Then her mom turned around and then she got eaten by wolves
- Yeah
Those are the houses that are in the...
- in the woods
- forest, yeah, in the woods
There are wild animals
- Would you ever live in the forest?
- NAH
- A lot of people like privacy though
- I don't need that kind of privacy
It-it's too dangerous
If you have any problem, who do you call?
It takes forever for the ambulance or 911
- Yeah, and does Postmates even deliver there?
- But I don't like the big city either
The more small city, they have good and bad things
Like good, like people know each other
But bad thing is, whatever happen in your family, they know
- But I thought you liked that way
- That's that way in Vietnam
- Yeah
- Mhm
Like
too close
- Vietnamese aunts are gossipy
- Heh
- That's a thing, Mom, everybody knows it
- So spicy
I used to eat this, like, a lot to practice
'cause I was like,
"One day I'll be so good at eating this"
and for a while, I could just eat it casually but now,
I lost my touch
Maybe you are better than me, Mom
- You should know that by now
can handle this better than you for sure
- Mom, we should have had boiled water
- Haha
Yeah, if you eat something spicy,
the hot water can help better than cold water
- You drink hot water once, and it stops the pain
People don't believe me when I say that
- Mhm
- If you do anything and have spice on your hands,
and accidentally put it in your eyes,
they say to take your hair
(and rub it on your eyes)
- That doesn't work, Mom
- Yeah!
- What is the science?
- I don't know, but that that whatever, like
- Have you ever tried it?
- Yeah!
It works!
- How was your school life in Vietnam, Mom?
- Well, the age I lived in Vietnam
I had a lot of very good experience to compare to over here
Elementary school there, and high school there, middle school there
we have a lot of
things to do together,
like, not like
uh, laptop, or iPad, or whatever, no phone by that time
so
most of the time, we
play things like jumprope
- Jumprope, yeah
- Mhm
- We did that at recess here
- Yeah, and I played what they call "Banh Đũa" (Ball Chopsticks)
- What's that?
- "Ball Chopsticks", we play, we put the chopsticks down
and then we throw the ball up
and then we catch it 1, 2, 3
something like that
and then I played a lot of games that were really fun
when I grow up, I can't forget them
but when you kids grow up over here,
you just use phone and iPad more,
you don't have games outside like that
- We do!
- But they're different, like just swings
those aren't fun,
in Vietnam I had a lot of games that were much funner
- I don't know, that "Chopsticks" game doesn't sound fun
- What did I play–"Tạt Lon"
- What's that?
- Your friends in Vietnam who hear me talk about this,
their parents will also know how to play "Tạt Lon"
You put the milk condense–
the can
You put it in the middle of the street and then you hold your slipper
Throw it so the can flies away
Playing those are really fun
Now saying it, I have also forgotten a lot of it
I don't remember, but oh
FUN
A lot of fun
- Sounds better than what Dad did though
Dad played a game where he jumped over as many bikes as possible
Right?
And that's how he got this huge scar on his leg
- Eat this, and later in the afternoon, run
to burn it all
- Mom, I'm going to cut all that out
'cause I'm not doing it
- "What is the most embarrassing experience you have had with your mom
or because of your mom?"
Have a lot, Mom
- Haha, too many though
- You embarrass me a lot!
- Too bad!
- Actually, I don't remember that many
I remember,
I used to get embarrassed of Mom a lot in elementary school
or whatever, or middle school or whatever, but
that's around the time that everybody's embarrassed of their parents
"What is your favorite video of mine?"
- I think...them all!
- No
You have to choose 1!
- The Halloween...last Halloween
- Mmmm
- That one was too cute
- the anime girl
- Uh-huh, so cute
- That one–
- Like a baby
- That one was–
my face was really puffy because–
my wisdom tooth got infected,
so
I don't know if you guys know,
if you don't follow me on Instagram, you probably won't know, but
I posted on my stories about it
I had like, one of the worst wisdom teeth experiences
So,
I got my wisdom teeth removed in Florida and then when I came back,
it was a few days until Gen Beauty New York
and so I went there and I wasn't completely healed yet
but I ate–
'cause everybody was recommending I go to Xian Famous Foods
I ate that and I got a wisdom tooth infection the next day
'cause I think it was already building up
My face, like, swelled up so much the next day
For the rest of the New York trip, it was swollen
But then when I got back, it deswelled...?
which is kind of weird
I didn't think too much of it
A few weeks later, my sister and I had french fries or something
and then–
and then I got a wisdom tooth infection
like, it completely swelled up and then it started to hurt a lot
so it was like, it had been building up for a long time and that was the last straw
Then I had to get it cleaned out so they had to drill another hole in or something
clean it out
and then, um, that was fine,
and then months later, it got infected again!
Which, I didn't know why because I had been doing the rinsing and everything
Yeah, I don't know why it happened
But then, I asked my doctor about it 'cause I thought I had a brain abcess
'cause I had the symptoms
and he prescribed me to just take some antibiotics
BUT!
That's not where it ends because the antibiotic, one of them was wrong
like, I–
I think, like, just the handwriting was messy or something
and then the pharmacy just didn't read it right, so they gave me the wrong one
I took that, and I got like super dizzy
It felt like I had food poisoning
and then I really thought I had a brain abcess
so then, I called the doctor and they were like,
"Oh, just stop taking the antibiotic" and then I was fine after that, so
that's my wisdom tooth story
- Well, she did not take care of her tooth carefully
Most of the medicine, if you have problem
and take medicine, they all have side effects later on
If you–those vitamins, if you can eat them, like greens, etc.
fruits, etc. if you can take those vitamins, then you don't need supplements
I like whatever's natural more
- Mhm
Yeah, our mom used to not let us take medicine
like, at all
- Yes, whenever the kids got sick, got a cold, then they drank–
I gave them honey and lemon
- Yeah
- And–and then a few days–
- that was good though
- Yeah, take a few days, it takes a longer time but the coughing goes away
- Ok, we're back with fruit
- Yeah
- Tangerine
- and mango!
- I realized I didn't answer a lot of your guys' questions
so
yeah, we're gonna extend the video a little bit
and also so we can get over the spiciness
"What's your favorite picture of me?"
- This one
- Oh!
This is my World Market one
- That one looks really cute and it looks like a commercial
- "What's your favorite thing to do together?"
- Go shopping
- Really?
- Because when I go with you, sometimes I call you on the phone to talk with you
but you don't tell all the stories you do
but when I go shopping with you, walk along together
then you usually share with me your stories, that's why I like it
- "What do you remember most clearly about Jessica when she was a child?"
- When Jessica was young, we went to work
so we sent her to the babysitter
she was very good, not like other children
bring them there, the other children usually cried
but she–she–
I know that she's really smart to know, like,
she has no choice
so that's why every time we brought her there,
by herself,
while holding her, she would reach out to the babysitter
never cried
- That's not "smart", Mom, that's "easy to get kidnapped"
- It's because you went there every morning
so you know them, not that randomly any stranger you'll reach out to
- Ok well, let's have some mango
- You eat, I'll eat my tangerine
- Somebody asked,
"Did you have the classic haircut with bangs
cut by your grandma or mom?"
Yes, Mom used to cut my hair–the bangs
but Mom used to experiment on my hair–
did we already tell this story, Mom?
- Not yet
- My mom
like, she wanted to dye her hair once with box dye
but she wasn't sure if she wanted to try on herself
so she used me and my sisters as guinea pigs and she dyed all of our hair in one night
um, gray–
oh, no, no–
Brown, blonde, and red
- No, actually it turned out like orange
- Mhm
- You all
By um, 2000–
- We had, like, highlights
We had, like, copper highlights
Yeah, and then Mom didn't even end up dyeing her hair
You didn't!
Why, 'cause it looked bad?
- "How do you get scolded by your mom?"
Like, how do you yell at me?
- No, I don't scold her much
- I get in the least trouble
out of all the sisters
- At home,
Yeah, at home she gets yelled at the least
because she's really smart
Whenever she was about to get in trouble–
in the past, whenever she was about to get yelled at, she would cry
But now, she knows
even if we don't say anything,
she goes ahead and says sorry
- I don't even remember getting yelled at that much
- No
- I used to get yelled at mostly because I was dumb
- Ohhh, yeah
First grade, her vocabulary,
she kept studying but couldn't learn it
She kept studying, asking back and forth
- And then Tran was a spelling bee winner
- No, Tran actually, she learned that from Trinh
- Hm?
- Yeah, because–
- Oh, Tran took my list–
- because, you know
Tran, by that time, she was in kindergarten
but
she sat outside
and she heard Trinh getting quizzed
but Trinh couldn't memorize it
she sat outside and memorized it, so you already know
- Yeah
Yeah, Tran–
Tran used to take my spelling list and she would learn it
- Uh-huh
- And then Tran used to look at my homework and stuff too, so
Tran was the smart one
- Yeah, Tran learns really quickly
- Yeah, Tran beat me in our school, um
our school spelling bee,
and then she like,
beat me in all of my classes in senior year too, so
"Would your mom like you to have a Vietnamese
or American boyfriend or husband?"
in the future
- Ok
(AHEM)
Every ethnicity is the same, there are good people and bad people
To be honest, every race has its good people and bad people
hmm
If there's someone who loves–loves–
(CUT. too cheesy i cringed)
- "What's your mom's skincare?"
After we did our last video together,
and you guys were all asking for her skincare routine,
she got a really big head and she was like,
"Trinh, everybody want me to be on your channel”
- Well, I do massage my face every night
- Yeah, blood circulation?
- Mhmm
- I do around my eyes, the circle, so
what is it–
baggy eyes
- Oh, this is a good one to end on
"What would you most like to do together?"
Like, in the future as a goal?
- In the future?
- Yeah, something to do together
It can be like, in a few years
doesn't have to be like right now
- Traveling
- Ohh, yeah
- Like, go to Vietnam
- Yeah
That concludes this video
