I genuinely think tht THIS is a buffet that my wife and I could both fully enjoy. Considering it's about the same cost as going to a nice restaurant AND you get 3 hours of booze means that we'd both be full and plastered by the time we left, it's perfect. I'm very jelly right now, despite you probably feeling like peanut butter
Your Wife is fast becoming a camera grip. Her shots were perfect, thanks for sharing as always...you guys are the best...can't wait to travel again with my friends. You and the team should check out Portugal if you like seafood. AAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh PEACE.
I love that Sonny is married, when I first watched him early on in his career I kept thinking how was he single. So it made me glad for him that later on he got married Go Sonny!
About the crab head : We generally eat the stuff that is in the sides of the carapace, along with any of that tomalley. If the mouth is still attached to the head, then you have to lookout for the stomach, which is what made you react to. Some places do not remove the crab's stomachs
@@DespaceMan I wasn't referring to the gills. I was only talking about the head. Gills we remove as always and scrub the body clean, and do not remove the yellow stuff in the body. That shizz's gold
Fr, the “crab yolk” is the best part. I feel myself die a bit inside when some westerner makes a face and throws away the entire carapace without even opening it.
@@szm5004 Fr, some asian stores even sell jars of shrimp brain. I love to simmer it for a while in a pan and use it in shrimp fried rice, or when I’m feeling indulgent that day I just eat it as is
I have tummy problems too (IBS), however, if you want to treat yourself to something like a buffet or a friend’s birthday party, etc - just on special occasions I take imodium (off-brand it is called ‘ Loperamide’) a couple of pills on an empty stomach an hour before eating naughty things, will slow things down for me and allow me to feel normal for that special day.
I feel you. I can't eat a lot of things because of food allergies and sensitivity to some textures (and yes weird textures have made me vomit before)..!
That would have th be the most delicious & extravagant buffet I have seen in a while, long island ice tea, mmmmm, that brings back memories, great video.
its 4am in the morning(southern african time) and I am watching Sonny munching away an awesome buffet(wishing I was in Vietnam). That tells u how awesome this show is. Special mention to the mrs on cam, great job. Would love to watch hubby and wifey in front of the cam.
This is incredible for the price; a meal this expensive may be out of the price range of locals (I don't know what the economy is like but a quick google check reveals average salary of 275 dollars US) but for a foreign visitor at that price, it is fantastic.
the yearly average income in Vietnam is at $4200. In Saigon where this buffet is the average income is like double or a bit more than double that. There are a lot of newly upper middle class and high income earners so they can do well especially when this price point it still rare and uncommon in such a large city.
Man I wish I can end up knowing half of the flavors you know. I grew up where we had simple seasonings, and recently I've been more fascinated by them...if that makes any sense. Your videos are respectful but also funny, they light up my day! I pretty much get on RUclips to watch those I wish to be lmao
I think for me World wide Capri island off the Gulf of Naples Italy has some of the best fresh seafoods Omg the lobster pasta with basil..But when i think buffet Manila Philippines has a few places with the real deal foods from all over to sample The Japanese food was on point. Roasted lechon with a amazing gravy Steak with chimichurri sauce Korean foods
This buffet is incredible. I would totally go there and get it. The 15 $ alcohol Flatrate is very good if you drink Long Island Ice Tea the whole time. 😂 The fish that didn't know could be Tilapia. Texture looks very similar to that. Please let your wife do a video as a host. Cheers
Flan is fantastic. I'm from a Spanish family and it's made during the holidays. Paired together with a nice glass of Coquito and you have a wonderful dessert.
The occasional drug references give me confidence in this mans flavor and experience pallet. Best food channel for sure, so many beautiful Bourdain vibes..
I can’t do foie gras after accidentally stumbling onto a video on a farm in California, and was somewhat traumatized when a rat came and started chewing on a goose’s tail feathers and the goose couldn’t move because of the force feeding and couldn’t defend itself so the rat just chews on them till it gets bored….I still have flashbacks of that, I think it’s the defenceless aspect that bothered me so much
@@patrickkirkham There are different ways of making foie gras, it's the same in every animal exploitation. If you take chicken for example, some are raised in small cages and then they break their wings and body when shipped but some are raised on huge properties with plenty of grass.
The food is French Vietnamese light flavour with sea food mixed with a heavy French style. Great combo and meats. Locally sourced food white wine with sea food. And pork roasted the way. My pick tho I don’t drink red wine lamb red. Cheese yes Sydney rock oysters work well with cheese on them brings out the brine into the cheese gives. A better taste plus you don’t have to bake them grill them but that a me thing
The fried tofu pouches are called Inari sushi. They're my favorite as well. Unfortunately, they are almost unknown here and you get maybe one with a whole mixed box of vegan sushi, if you're lucky. Can't wait to enjoy the simple luxury of just buying half a dozen from a random Convenience store in Japan again.
At this point I'm pretty sure that his wife is Mi, the producer and one of the early Vietnamese co-hosts. As an OG, I could recognize her voice here. Tell me I'm not wrong because she's a real cutie.
I truly do enjoy watching your channel. I would like to see some of the places you've visited to try the food for myself. Also side note, I probably SHOULD'NT watch when I'm hungry!!😅
I think I speak for everyone here when I say we love Sonny's wife. She's not even on camera but that her presence is strong af
I love how she corrected him a few times.
She is Vietnamese
Somebody needs to keep him in check
well he only said the word "wife" like 30 times
I think the girl in the black dress in this video is his wife.
Sonny I am also Vietnamese and after learning you’re married to a Vietnamese woman… I’m your new biggest fan 💯
I love the variety he tries and does everything in categories
👍
@Chicken feet what no lips? Ha
The fact that we get free food & travel videos on RUclips by Sonny is truly a gift 👏👏👏
@Erikk Hyndman you paid to watch this?
@@jeanpremier4yes
@@jeanpremier4you pay with your time
It isn't free
The producer of this show are from veitnam ...so it makes sense to make videos around Vietnam more and more😊
That looks amazing. Another good reason to visit Vietnam.
I’m just amazed how you post so many quality videos so quickly. Love your videos. Big fan from England 🙌🏻
Literally, this IS the best ever food review channel on the net! Thanks Sonny.
You and your wife should post date nights more often that was fun and funny to watch😂❤
True

Ur wife is cheating on u drew
@@altatv. bro 💀
Average salary in Vietnam is 150$ per month so it is qeual like spending 3000$ to eat in US. It sound cheap to us but not in there.
@@Raznatovic88 who give you this number, LOL, we earn alot more than 150$ 🤣🤣
The fact that we get free videos on RUclips by Sonny is truly a gift 👍👍👍
nice to hear your wife is with you...i hope hes having a great time
Ok I didn’t notice how much hair growth Sonny has had until the flash back. It looks so good!!! Love you and your wife🥰
I love the presence of your wife! And she encouraged you to try something you may otherwise not have!
Your wife's camerawork is great! 💯
So many things I’d love to try. So nice to see/ hear your wife with you 🥂

@Jon Ryan,me too ❤️.
I love Vietnam ur lucky to live there. Got a 5 star ocean view suite for $20 a night back in July, everything is super cheap there
Glad to see u finally back in a Vietnam related video
The lobster with cheese on it is lobster mornay. A very classic dish. The bread you ate the foie gras is brioche. That's how it was traditionally made
he's a bit of a philistine
I agree darkonedbc
Could have been Lobster Thermidor as well
@@koolaidman324 nah.. Thermidor is saucier while that's just cheese baked on lobster
I like the fact that you had the potential to be rude in your comment, but didn't. Nice

Crab gills are not toxic but if you enjoy eating bad tasting plastic that's the texture.

@@novavoltaris2198 I mop up every last bit of it everytime I have crabs or shrimps. Shrimp heads are severely underappreciated in the West as well.
@@szm5004 Fr, some asian stores even sell jars of shrimp brain. I love to simmer it for a while in a pan and use it in shrimp fried rice, or when I’m feeling indulgent that day I just eat it as is
I'm sick and haven't eaten all day, this was not the right time to watch all this incredible food. As usual you're the best food reviewer!
I love that Sonny tries everything! I cannot eat a lot of things because of my bad stomach. This is nice to watch😊
The thing is he eats alot of the kinds of foods, but he eats like a bite or 2 and then leaves the rest to be wasted
@@kuhzadshirzad9603 He and the crew ate all of it
you think he got full from just that few bites?
I have tummy problems too (IBS), however, if you want to treat yourself to something like a buffet or a friend’s birthday party, etc - just on special occasions I take imodium (off-brand it is called ‘ Loperamide’) a couple of pills on an empty stomach an hour before eating naughty things, will slow things down for me and allow me to feel normal for that special day.
@@ah7910 Thank you! That helps a lot 💕
I feel you. I can't eat a lot of things because of food allergies and sensitivity to some textures (and yes weird textures have made me vomit before)..!
Best food show ever. A great dynamic between Sonny and his wife. I am hungry and laughing at the same time. Thank you !
Why do i love it when sonny says "my wife" ???? New fav couple even if shes not always in front of the camer
I can’t believe I went so long without watching this guy! One of my favorite food shows since No reservations!
Noooooo Reservations!
Sonny is yin to Anthony's yang :)
Just amazing! Love that his cuticles and nails are always trimmed and neat😊
Sonny is a worldly man love how he proceeded to tell us that his delicious dessert wouldn't give you a hangover like Ecstasy does lol!
I found that interesting too, I think it's the alcohol, otherwise I can't imagine Sonny saying that on camera lol
(Qz 0
Keep going, you're going to hit 12 million very soon.
Sending hugs & well wishes to you,your wife & crew!
Just awesome 👏👏👏👏👏!
Omg that buffet is insane 😮 amazing!
Love your commentary. Very entertaining.
I love how funny Sonny is 😂
So awesome your wife was rockin the great camera captures bro!
please do more buffet videos!!!!!! love this!!
Much love Sonny. Best channel ever. Great camera skills on this video too 👏
I vote that Sonny’s wife needs to appear in his videos soon! Love her already 😍🙏🏼❤️
he's gay bro, it's not a wife
- She has already appeared in one of his videos -
@@SaigonSurfer-mw8rv ooh which one?
I dont think she should, bad idea as in Mike Chen channel so he disappeared his wife 😂
@@Miiitran94 - I'd better not say as I think they want to keep that private. -
By far one of my favorite food review shows!
Love your buffet episodes so much!
I love how he is at a classy restaurant and is using his hands 🫣🤣
Wow amazing varities of food at Vietnam Buffet for 89 bucks such a great deal
I watch your videos to fall asleep at night and I mean that in a good way TY
Awesome video Sonny, everything looked delicious 😊😊😊🤤🤤
Really enjoyed watching this, thank you.
I love your shows always brightens my days…..
That would have th be the most delicious & extravagant buffet I have seen in a while, long island ice tea, mmmmm, that brings back memories, great video.

Hello Wifey😀 Very supportive!
Take care always both of you!
More foods to review and country to travel, and culture to share
😘😘😘
Godbless😘
Vietnam and Southeast Asia in general is Sonny's second home. Endless foods to explore in the region.
He literally lives there
@@umadxdlol6930 I know but you can live anywhere, doesn't make it your home. Once you get married and get citizenship, then that's serious.
@@kayflip2233 he is literally a Vietnamese citizen. Has been for a while.

I like how sonny is in a bandana and casual wear and his wife is in a formal dress
How do you find who is sonny's Wife
I live vicariously through you I dream of traveling and trying all of these foods
It's 9:30am and I'm drooling and craving all that seafood
same
No way it’s 9:28am and I watching this as about to eat bread and eggs for breakfast lol.
Great way to start my Saturday morning blessing from Yaad 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Sonny! we want a food tour with your wife.
what funny as this goes on you can see sonny's face glow with wine and getting a little more funny. he is already funny AF!!! we love you sonny!!!
The tofu-wrapped sushi is called "inari zushi" and my fam loves it :)
6:04 HAHAHAHA my husband in the State says the EXACT SAME thing to me.
Fabulous review!!!!! You and your wife should go out more often!!! So sweet!!
wish I could find a similar Vietnamese-style buffet in America.
@Nishkid641,yes please bring some to Michigan 🥰🤤😋!
I'm in love❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.
This is amazing,thank you for uploading the joy👏👏👏!

Tilapia is delicious!
Tilapia is not very common for sashimi. I guess it was yellowtails.
tilapia is very bad
It was seabass, he found out later
I didn't think Tilapia could be so pink..? Not my favorite fish at all tho.
Been a fan for long time. Nice job bro
Flan is fantastic. I'm from a Spanish family and it's made during the holidays. Paired together with a nice glass of Coquito and you have a wonderful dessert.
Flan is everywhere in Vietnam. You can buy them for less than 0.25$ in a convenient store
@@angnguyenha7203 It's also pretty easy to make homemade.
The occasional drug references give me confidence in this mans flavor and experience pallet. Best food channel for sure, so many beautiful Bourdain vibes..
I'd go for the fois gras feast with a lobster mountain. No cheese on mah crustaceans. I went to a similar buffet in Dubai, was excellent.

So funny and mouth watering keep it up sonny and pls do comeback in the Phils!😊
Awesome Sonny. Been to Saigon and the food is great. I just love the way you bring such fun and different stuff to us. I would eat all of it.
Can we get a Q&A with you and your wife? How you guys met? And etc..
Getting full after 3 rounds.. I'm used to watch Mike Chen at buffets and he is just warming up after 3 rounds :-)
Great show bro man that food looked fire asf if I ever get to travel that's a place I would hit up
Yknow I really wouldn't mind if his wife talked more, it's just cute and comical

For the amount of money and all the foods you can get there, it is definitely worth it.
Always love when Sonny references his wife
I love Sonny's review
Take a shot every time sonny says "my wife". You're in for a good time.

Yeah, the voice is very distinctive 😂. Happy for them all
Yeah same I’ve always wondered but it’s pretty obvious
One of the best Videos, Keep it up guys!! ......Peace....
We truly need more tipsy Sonny and more of Sonny's wife on this channel. Probably my favorite video yet. Make your wife the main film assistant 🤣
Her laugh in the end❤❤❤ 13:11
Been here while I was in Vietnam. It wasn’t that good tbh. What’s better is La Brasserie Restaurant inside of Nikko 5 star hotel. It’s so much better
I truly do enjoy watching your channel. I would like to see some of the places you've visited to try the food for myself. Also side note, I probably SHOULD'NT watch when I'm hungry!!😅
I want to go to Vietnam just for this.
This is why I love traveling.
Seeing a buffet that isn’t trashed like those in certain countries….is mind~blowing
Mainland Chinese and African Americans not welcome.😊
You NEED to go to Jordan, I think you'd love it! Amman, Salt, Irbid, Jerash, WadiRum, Petra (Just a few cities)
I'd love to be there! Oysters are one of my favorites should have put some of those Wasabi eggs on them yummy 😋
Sonny is very lucky man go everywhere in the world 🌎 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Oysters with melted cheese is the way to go. Soooo yummy
