VIETNAM FOOD TOUR in Hanoi, Vietnam

fallen in love with this country everyone in Vietnam is so so nice be sure to check

out the rest of our Vietnam series for all of our adventures in Ho Chi Minh,

the Mekong River, and Hoi An we're now going to put a whole month of learning about the

Vietnamese cuisine into this video oh my God that is delicious we're going on a food tour

in Hanoi and we'll show some of our favorite dishes and some new ones we have yet to try

thank you

this place is so popular there's actually a small takeaway stall just across the street and then a

sit-down restaurant on the other side didn't know if we could come in here or not because there's

no sign on this side but some lady directed us over here watermelon juice is in no way unique

to Vietnam but it is on just about every menu in Southeast Asia and that's because every day it's

hot here and this is one of the coldest and most refreshing drinks we've ever come across

It's gotta be ice cold though so I ordered the grilled chicken and

avocado which I haven't seen avocado on a Bahn Mi sandwich and I love avocados

kind of spicy so Banh Mi is probably the most popular Vietnamese dish around the world maybe

at least in the US and it's a sandwich with chicken and toppings like Fresh Veggies like

cucumber or carrots and this one has avocado some sort of dressing and this one is nice and

spicy the chicken is nice and grilled and the bread's the most important part and it's flaky

just falls apart in your mouth I got the Banh Mi Chao which I'm just gonna call a deconstructed

Bahn Mi sandwich it's barbecue pork with pork pate. Pate is typically a meat paste with the

main component of liver but since it’s pork mostly ground pork I believe and I have a egg sunny side

up because everything to me at least is better than egg I have reconstructed my bahn me sandwich

hmm that was the perfect bite as evidenced by the fact that I ate the whole bite even

Alicia was surprised but the bread is so crunchy on the outside soft in the middle the meat just

melt together in your mouth and the Egg like is just the perfect addition to that sandwich

that is so good I think it's better than mine fun fact the Bahn Mi is actually just

the bread it's not the sandwich so you can have it in a lot of different ways which

is unique in Southeast Asia because bread is not common here it's really

just because of the French colonial times that they brought over bread

it's a food day we should probably walk but we're

taking a grab unless we can hitch a ride with this guy

probably could have walked here in the same amount of time but can't

argue with air conditioning and that was some pretty good music

just about our next stop and we pay before we enter wow this place is jamming

Dining here is family style so you're cozying up to some new neighbors and this place is full and

then we sat down and everybody left so I don't know what that says about us oh thank you so

much Pho is another one of those traditional Vietnamese dishes that's known all around the

world and it's really popular in the US right now so it's traditionally broth meat noodles and

herbs and then they have condiments on the table for you to add to it the place we're at Pho Thin

it actually does it a little differently instead of putting in like raw or undercooked beef so it
