grass right there oh somebody said a lot
of stuff you can see on the bamboo
pond they have many different stuff and
they put it all in the bamboo pole
that is brilliant i never want to figure
that out and for those standing ball you
can see they normally stand in a group
of three or four bowls like that so we
know that they aren't family related so
this is a family of yeah it's just like
the family the whole one right here it's
about 6 a.m right now can we roll up
somewhere to get some coffee

okay so like grilled pork noodles what
is that one

the crabs that we caught in the pond
before
those are the same kind of crabs yeah
and then they put tomato in there
yeah and tofu and then they're plucking
and you like let's get one one real one
and one uh no this is blowing my mind
that this is all on a tiny boat
and it's just like a perfect cafeteria
she's got like tin foil all laid out
so this is a new one right i noticed
she gave us this um kind of ceramic bowl
do people usually eat it
here and then give it back yeah so she's
just gonna wait for us to eat
yeah exactly i feel bad like she's
losing money and we're eating slow
because the people right here they have
very normally they have a very quick
sprinklers because they need to work
right after that
okay we'll we'll get this metaphor
really quick should you prepare the bun
wow look at that yeah come on bam
look at this two specialties of vietnam
that i haven't tried on my show yet
and this is yep we've got a nice big
piece of pork
we've got blood cake this is more sauce
yeah maybe there's tofu down there
somewhere a little bit of internal
organs
some intestine okay okay okay
she's looking at me like yo my
intestines are always clean
son and then here right we have the
there's some peanut on there
pick a normal rice noodle pico stop like
a pickled vegetable
yeah and then this is the grilled pork
yeah this video isn't as much about
each food item as it is just the crazy
experience here you know
so it's so intense and overwhelming
there's all these boats
people coming up to you every time i see
a boat steaming i'm like oh what are
they cooking in there let's give it a
try some blood cake

sauce she added in here
pretty good nice little piece of
intestine there a little bit of sausage
oh yeah mmm really good if you just saw
this dish you wouldn't think oh
he got that from a tiny boat okay switch
oh beautiful
you definitely prefer that one i'm
pretty sure they marinate this pork in a
little bit of fish sauce
so it has a nice sweetness to it it
becomes like a glaze
on top and then you have some of that
burnt kind of charcoal flavor right
from curling it over the fire it's so
good oh you prefer that one
yeah i prefer this one
