    🥒 ABOUT BEFRS:
    Hey, I’m Sonny! I’m from the US but currently call Vietnam home. I’ve been living in Asia for 10 years and started making food and travel videos to document my experiences. I travel to different parts of the world, hunting down and documenting the most unique food each country has to offer.
    If you see any factual food errors in my videos, please feel free to politely let me know in the comments. I'm a huge fan of trying different, interesting foods in each country. My show is from a Western point of view, but more importantly, MY point of view. It is not meant to offend any person or culture.

    As a Black person living in Wi, I have several Hmong friends, everything they are showing I can attest to. I tried cow heart, squid balls, raw beef in my Pho which I like. I've even tried pig brain, that wasn't my forte lol but I like seeing how the Asian community works together and get alot of their food naturally. There's a good size Hmong population in Minnesota. That pepper sauce is great, when they make me a pan of egg rolls, I eat them with that pepper sauce😍🔥. It's fantastic.

    • @vonamon316
      @vonamon316 Год назад +3

      I worked in a Vietnamese kitchen for years and the raw beef Pho is really legit, I think the family I worked for had some Hmong roots along the way because some things I'm seeing in their culture in these videos is similar. But I love Pho, we were only closed one day a week and that was either a cleaning day for the restaurant but in Winter it was Pho prep day, cooking the bones and soaking the bean sprouts, Thai basil trimming, trimming the beef, and getting everything ready to be made for service on Monday. It was all done very much with love, time, trad. ingredients

      I screwed up at 19 and ended up in jail, and at one point my bunkmate was a 16 year old kid who i thought was chinese. After a couple of days he opened up and told me he was Hmong. I wasn't an idiot in school, i paid attention and was in the upper 10th percentile in my class but had never ever been told or taught about the Hmong people. He told me all about their plight and how they had no official land to call their home. Learned a lot from that kid, and he ended up getting sentenced to 20 years in prison at 16 for being an accessory to murder. I sometimes wonder if he's been released or if he ended up stuck in the system.

    Loving your Midwest content! I'm from Wisconsin so I've grown up with many Hmong co-workers and classmates. However, I've always wanted to know more about their food traditions etc. beyond what I see from the outside. Thank you for that opportunity. I realize you're trying to be on your best behavior here...I'm loving it! Even the hair reveal :) Thank you to the host family for welcoming Sonny into their home - it was an awesome experience.

      I found that part incredibly interesting, that they set out food for their ancestors because "when their souls are hungry they want something to eat". It's such a simple thing, but so profound at the same time!
      As for the host, he's been living in Vietnam for years, so he's very familiar with asian cultures and cuisines, and he's always been such a charming guy. He shows respect, while also recording their culture (food, after all, is a huge part of what 'makes us us'), and pretty sure he's engaged or married to a vietnamese woman. So it's not too surprising that he understands humility, while also playing up his personality for the audience.
      I love this show, been binging for years.

    Being from Fresno it is really nice seeing Hmong in other parts of the country. There is a book that explains the Hmong assistance in Laos. But, my best picture is of General Vang Pao dedicating the Hmong Vietnam memorial in Fresno. Many military leaders have had traditional funerals in Fresno, I'm just sad that many weren't honored as well during this recent time. We are losing them fast, time to renew the tradition.

You travel to unique parts of the world on the hunt for the best food each country has to offer and share these stories with us in your videos. I think that are wonderful experience. I like people who livo to eat. They're the best kind of people in the world. You love food, me too. Maybe to live a full life, you have to fill your stomach first. Besides, good food never fail in bringing people together and food shared is happiness multiplied. Exotic birds Takeover Wisconsin. Cooking Hmong Style in the Midwest. Wow, that is great ideo. It is special. Boiled chicken with Hmong herbs, boil the chickens. Mix in some Hmong herbs and then eat with rice. The food look so yummy. I am hungry when i see you taste it. I wish i can enjoy it. You help me know and understand about this food. Thank you for sharing. Wish you have a lot of health,luckies and happiness in the life. See you again in the next video.

      Sonny is awesome, his content is great, and he has a huge respect for asian cultures. It might be because he spent so much time in Vietnam. But he's really a great person and a lovely ambassador for people from around the world.
