hey guys it's Mike Jen I am in the south
of Vietnam at the metcon Delta at a city
called gum Hill which is his capital of
course first time in southern Vietnam
very excited to be here and as soon as I
got here which is about two minutes ago
I was happy to find out my hotel is
actually situated right next to the gun
hood night market which of course I
wanted to visit so first time at a
Vietnamese night market let's go see
what he got to eat first impression
after arriving in the city is that it's
super colorful
I mean they're just beautiful lies
everywhere the city is extremely vibrant
it gives off a completely different feel
in Saigon I mean it's rushed and there's
a lot of people there's of course
motorbikes everywhere if I the same time
it gives off a sense of I don't know
late backness and this is the night
market right here wall a portion of the
night market the food portion you know
the pushing we care about whenever I go
to a 9:00 mark I don't know whether it
is in Taiwan is in Thailand as long as
the ninebot I just feel so excited to be
here all right
we're gonna keep going because to last
all we went to the guy ran out of butter
we're gonna go find a guy with butter
the first thing we're eating is oh by
the way this is dog our guy he's gonna
show us around the Mekong Delta and
you're you're really excited about this
what is this a tank noon or you
came calling down Vietnamese feed there
and this is not like a peace of heart in
Vietnam this is actual sort of like a
VMI's pizza yeah so right here you can
see like the rice paper for the course
and then the topping okay cat apply
appeaser but in rice paper is the
typical rice paper you see a lot of
enemies restaurants typically you took
that in water a little bit
yes and it's just being grilled as this
over over charcoal and what's on table
right here
so we have to act we have a tiny stream
great onion
hold it topping yeah Wow he's rolling it
into like a like a taco
yeah I'm tied up okay well I'm excited
let's get one all right so this is it
oh yeah oh yeah how much I got breakfast
taco or Pete jump because the eggs it's
got a beautiful charred taste to it
I get the shrimp flavor on this because
of the shrimp paste it's super crispy
and what I really like is that you bite
through the crunchy layer but it's so
smooth inside because the egg when the
sauce mix well together it is literally
like the finished crust pizza kind of
face of this planet
yeah my favorite snack was your first
night if this is a snack that means
we're gonna eat a bunch of more stop
shopping come on keep going what is this
it's the real so they put a hole in the
egg cuz I saw this I'm looking at it I'm
looking at these eggs and I see holes in
them yes and they pour out everything
yes they season it did they pour it back
in it they cook it yes okay I gotta try
one yeah that's some Harry Potter stuff
this is really high this is it look at
his egg that's black pepper on the
bottom there do you gonna saw oh oh
there's chase inglewood the herb there's
really good look at this the yoga is
gone I wonder if there's anything in the
middle of his ears
really there's nothing here it tastes
like a steam Nick that is both yolk and
egg wash let me try this far with all
the pepper here no nice peppery but it's
got to be eaten together with the herbs
Wow oh that's peppery oh this is good I
think this is a pretty good breakfast
yeah actually you haven't even had
summer off since I came to Vietnam which
that's a crime right away
the summer roll feels different than
when I had in the states it's not sticky
at all I mean the ones in the states is
feels a little gelatinous even on the
outside this that's not the ingredients
seem to be the same shrimp some pork
green onions I'm actually really looking
forward to this because this is
something else I eat sin a lot in the
States but I mean I'm just assuming it's
gonna taste a lot better here Wow
there's a huge difference between what
I'm eating here and when I simply get it
be in these restaurants in the u.s.
first of all like I said um the rapper
is not nearly as gelatinous also inside
the rationalists really soft almost a
little mushy shrimp is fresh pork is
nice this dish tastes more refreshing
here because it really doesn't feel
heavy at all also no distinct difference
is that in the u.s. um typically this
wrapper is made with lettuce on the
inside here it's all herbs and it's
pretty sharp it's got a nice shrimp
flavor as well I need something to drink
and of course you've got to get some
fresh sugarcane juice
as refreshing
really sweet but incredibly refreshing I
saw these walking around Saigon this
night market has a ton of these barbecue
stands I wanted to try one of these
things these are basil leaves wrapped in
beef you guys grow a lot of okra here
yeah I never had Oak Grove grow before
which is nice all right doc you're gonna
tell me whether this is legit or not
okay you have different kind of sauce
here uh-huh
what does that sauce this one is what we
call the red and chili sauce for
ensuring your favorite chili sauce and
here hot sauce together with a little
bit of portion yeah the basil MPB is
what I'm kind of gaming for when I came
to the stop and I try this one I think
this is ridiculous I love this yeah so
much you love it so much now you're
gonna try it and then you're gonna tell
me if it if I'm just being stupid
tourist guy and I haven't had the best
one that's good yeah I mean they have
like 20 of these bobby gusto this is
ridiculous I love the green chili sauce
because it's a little peppery it's spicy
those guys ma'am I mean grilling feet of
basil you can kind of imagine that right
how extremely fragrant basil is it
balanced balanced oh you have too fat in
there you have the beef in there and you
have the green to roll everything in
balance
it's the perfect wrap yeah like you
mentioned synergy man oh you're gonna
try to go out to fish yeah and I go for
it I'm having another one of this these
beef basil thingies this is insane
oh wow did a really good job with this I
can't believe how good is now you just
all day long all right
I don't need my B's in a burger anymore
I don't need a burger bun
give me some basil give me a basil punch
Wow I'm really surprised I'm glad I did
dish by the way I didn't like Oh Chris
how I came to be enough growing okra
no oh boy so slimy I feel like I was
attacked by ectoplasm grilling over all
right so this looks really interesting
it's grilled rice paper tonight the
pizza I had before but it's also sort of
like a spring roll this is basically a
Fri summer roll but doesn't have any
shrimp I don't think you might have some
pork maybe purely vegetarian I'm not
really sure what's in here except for ID
I see carrots and mushrooms hmm it's
definitely not vegetarian there's
kidding just kidding I'm okay if it was
because this is actually really
delicious scrapbook soaked in light and
crispy love all the veggies especially
the courage here I think they pickled
they're just a little bit now you
changed mushrooms and I think minced
pork inside along with peanuts so a lot
of crunchy elements here this I think
this is kind of like maybe a fusion kind
of thing a little modern take on it on a
spring roll or a world grille spring
roll
[Music]
walking by this these are mangoes yeah
it is their sake mangoes shaking Mingo
yeah so she was shaking in a container
yes in a container sweetest sauce I mean
it feels like the sauce is not it's not
a sweet sauce it's gonna be a little
salty it's not sweet a little bit salty
sour even yeah let's give this a try I
never tried this before I never had
Mingo that wasn't sweet I'm assuming
this is kind of like a little crunchy it
looks a little punchy very crunchy look
at this some shredded chicken and
shredded beef yeah
shredded chicken and beef
it's not as sour it's very crunchy
y'all grab food hot spicy spicy is sweet
and tangy
really crunchy yes the texture it's kind
of fibrous I mean you're gonna have to
chew a lot on this I can't believe how
well this works with you know chicken
they're like spices this does remind me
also a bit of a papaya salad preset for
this is like sweeter when chew share
buzz right you guys man you're gonna try
this ring come here what is this doc
this looks like Jeff and it's not in the
sweet stuff it's a sweet soup yes I'm in
kinds of beans here and that's Jeff yes
I kind of want both all right so here
here's the two things we got I think
this is the jet because it's more
colorful I don't know I don't know how
to identify these things all right what
is usually the difference between this
in this soup so it is pretty to know
something below these like kind of
Chinese Vietnamese mm-hmm Theresa no and
all the material here are natural yeah
so that's kind of yeah guy some some
juice ooh it looks like almost like like
a porch like a healthy Chinese congee
mmm tastes like bubble tea what like no
there's stuff in here mmm my chili is
nice I myself prefer this one yeah this
is very much like a bubble tea all right
this is interesting I see stuff wrapped
in banana leaves so we have white rice
flour and poppy ochre right in there II
mean sign it's free mid-fall I was
thinking chunks of which is like rice
wrapped and stuff inside the rice but
it's like a translucent sticky cake Wow
look at this you can see all the
ingredients inside
I see legs those are legs or something
yeah that sure was like I see legs I'm
not sure who's legs they feel onto I'm
hoping it's a shrimp and yeah was the
first time I see this wanting to make on
Beltre yeah normally they have it is and
the basic City Beach City yes
interesting in this room well I feel
honored are they having her
[Music]
oh grandma can cook if you're not used
to this sex sure I feel like we're gonna
find a little off
I mean it's extremely mochi s I like it
because it's chewy also snappy because
as the peanuts enzyme that shrimp gives
it a beautiful beautiful seafood flavor
this is nice I mean I don't feel like
any of these because it's heavy but it's
good I can see why you like it so much I
mean I just can't oh wow this this is
interesting a lot of cuttlefish hand up
and I'm thinking that's some sort of
cuttlefish Turkey and she's grilling it
what's the best way to do it you have to
use the corner like this one the
traditional way yeah because we live in
a CD so you can yeah in front of your
house you get I'll do that no we use the
gas though that's dope yeah oh she's
putting on a machine no oh it's a
tenderizer because I was thinking like I
mean it's thick Wow look at this really
thick dry looking cuddle fish jerky it's
it's all tin dream and flaky almost look
at this I'm gonna just put these two
together this is dry and it looks not
that appetizing
look at how flaky as we come good smells
great I'm about to bottle this fragrance
and sprayed all over me
what are you dipping it like this with
that yeah both sriracha tamarind sauce
Timur is awesome it's really peppery
it's really salty
I don't know if I can eat too much of
this it's good I mean it's a fun thing
that you but after the first cup of ice
there's also much for me Brady sells
I like all pepperiness I love how flaky
this now I love how she turn like you
know essentially like a like a rubber
sheet into this just fantastic is the
whole process just amazing but I carry
more than three but yeah very salty also
very sweet at the same time this is a
very much a sharable food that this is
your favorite stick your rice with
chicken be enough every time a cop
becomes really and this is like a
traditional Vietnamese dish yeah it
could be breakfast it will be lunch or
dinner oh thank you Oh squid inside Oh
spoons at all I think getting it oh wow
that's a little different than I thought
was going on in here that looks good Wow
look at what you see the chicken is what
is this it was like poor chicken
some kind of pickle veggies all right
we're gonna go eat this somewhere
because she's not like 20,000 people
waiting for her like busy let's go let's
go eat
I've never seen people line up on
motorbikes before literally lined up on
motorbikes the sticky rice is stronger
than my spoon I'm just gonna get a big
spoonful a lot of chicken good
the one thing I'm always stirred up when
I'm ordering chicken is is it's gonna be
dry and that's not the creature well you
guys see all the sauce is on the bottom
you see all that's all glistening and
raise yourself it's delicious very
fragrant and actually I chased the lob
cheong that's some of the flavor of the
LOB shot in the rice as well - gee why
did your favorite dish they give you so
many so many things here like you como
quail eggs some pickled veggies and like
some tofu skin I just wish they give you
a better spoon I mean this spoon is just
like there's the rice like I said it was
stronger than a spoon come on work it
spoon you can do it don't let me down
I'm about to dish the spoon just shove
my face in a box
probably after the basil beef my
favorite tonight you know oh you know
what you really will be really good yeah

in here no chicken a little beef also
