  2. Very cool aspect of your channel to explore experiences each on your side !! Love it. Mike, you really are good to describe tastes !! I was litterally drooling when you reviewed egg-coffee.

  3. As "unusual" food eaters ourselves, we salute you for stepping outside of your comfort zone and trying all of these new things!
    I've seen that sandworm pancake on other videos, but never came across it in person. We will have to try!
    Hahaha. Your egg reaction. We had balut when we were in Cambodia. We didn't mind it at all. As you said, the "broth" in the egg tasted like chicken soup, and the rest like egg.

    That bun cha place was the first bun cha we ever had! It's good, but we had a street side spot that we preferred.

    Man, I miss Vietnamese food!

  4. My house is right in Hanoi's Old Quarter. If I were good at English, I would take you two out and eat all the dishes in Hanoi. The delicious dishes in your videos are just a small part of Hanoi cuisine. Wish you have beautiful memories in Vietnam. Sorry I'm using google translate.

  5. Chả quế is always grilled that make its color different from normal fried chả. It has 2 layers, the first is pork( without fat) and cinnamon, the second is pork( with fat but not cinnamon) that is why you find chả quế is less fatty than normal chả

  6. Bạn đừng nghe cô hướng dẫn viên du lịch là: bỏ rau thơm vào nước chấm khi ăn "bánh cuốn". Bởi khi bạn lấy chúng lên ăn sẽ làm nước mắm văng và rơi vãi. Bạn chỉ chấm bánh cuốn và ăn. Khi nào muốn ăn rau thơm thì bạn hãy ăn nó trước tiếp.😂😂😂😂

  7. I went to Hanoi last year in May 2023 and too courage and excitement to explore the local traditional market. It was a great decision. I tried some delicious local food! I hope I can go back to Hanoi.

  8. Also, when you see the letters tr or ch in Vietnamese, just make a j sound. It would sound more authentic than trying to make the tr or ch sound from an English speaker. Remember that the t and th sounds are swapped from their English counterparts.

  9. She seems like a nice girl, but I wish she'd have pivoted when she found out you already had banh cuon there (and also the sandworms and the ban ran…saving grace is if it's actually better than what you tried last time). Either go to another banh cuon place or some other food instead…and she should have given more chili when you asked for it. But I did like how she demo'ed how to eat it properly. That blood sausage is sketchy as heck since it's right there next to the raw meat. I don't eat the blood cakes and such, but I LOVE the blood sausage. I wouldn't necessarily eat it like that, but in chao (congee), it's also often served with bun dau mam tom (which you should try…but maybe stick with nuoc mam instead of the fermented shrimp paste initially). I'd rather the tour guides introduce the quail eggs in tamarind sauce first, then go hardcore on the duck egg. The bun cha place was weird…it's build almost Japanese style, but very inconvenient because they'd have to step up to deliver the food to the customers? It also seems lacking in meat compared to other places…and it was missing the crab filled egg rolls. I did like the banh mi because it sounded different and unique and the dessert looks great (not adventurous, though).
