Hi, I'm Uyen Ninh but please just call me Uyen!
I moved from Vietnam to Germany 3 years ago for studying. I make silly videos about how Germany looks like through the eyes of a Vietnamese student - on my way to be your favourite Ausländer! :D
#lunarnewyear #vietnam
I forgot to add the part when I unwrapped the Chung cake and eat it 😭😭😭 Will do that on the next video then!!
E ở Mỹ, xa nhà cũng lâu rồi nên xem video của chị thấy relatable ghê🥰 xem video mà nhớ Tết ở quê quá. Chúc mừng năm mới nha chị❤
How could you do this to us!
I was wondering 😅
My roommate in college made these for Lunar New Year in a fit of homesickness with Banana leaves. We managed to find the rice after looking through half a dozen Asian food stores.
The little Vietnamese lady at the store gave us a bunch of things for free because she was so happy to see people willing to buy from her. We're lucky enough to have been in a very multicultural area so getting business in that area is hard when you are one of 30 vendors selling the same thing. Happy New Year! (We celebrate Lunar New Year, also Asian but slightly different food customs.) The cleaning is universal in Asian countries. Cleaning with the red handkerchief over your hair and the whisk broom in hand is a time honored horror I mean, *tradition.*
Yes please, I'm so curious to see how it looks inside 😉😋!
What a joy it is to see Uyen at home educating us on her countries traditions. She is a natural narrator and teacher, it's delightful to be shown things through her eyes whether in Germany or Vietnam . ✨️
“Natural narrator and teacher” - you said it perfectly!
I am from Greece but my parents always loved Asian food so they took me to my very first Vietnamese restaurant when I was 6 years old. I was a very picky eater as a kid but I finished my food for the first time! I'll never forget those flavors!
That was back in the '80s where Asian restaurants were almost non existent yet in Greece. But there was this Greek sailor who travelled to Vietnam, fell in love and married a Vietnamese woman. So he came back with her and opened the first Vietnamese restaurant in Greece. He's really really rich now...
I am 41 now and still crazy about your cuisine, traditions, culture and everyday life. So thank you so much for educating us on your Country, please never stop!
You must be asian in previous birth, might be a Vietnamese.😂
Amazing story, yes, Greece in the older days didn't had a lot of xeno people, maybe that's why they're not used to foreign things and some of them are afraid even to try something non Greek.
I have yayas in my old neighbourhood in Greece where they don't want to try new things, old generation, but i think young Greeks today, most of them, are more open to international cuisine and new flavours.
what an amazing story!
Thank You for making a video about Tet in Vietnam. My husband is Vietnamese and we haven’t been able to go back to Vietnam for 2 years because we are waiting for citizenship and of course it’s expensive to go for a family of 4. This really made me happy because I miss Vietnam so much and our family there. I hope you can make more videos while you are there since it reminds me of when I was the happiest.❤
Awwww! Glad it was helpful! All the best to you! 😊
I find the most expensive thing about going to Vietnam is the flight and visa . Once you get there, everything is so affordable and cheap
@@kimtran5688 That is true. We are hoping to move back in a few years. We feel we will live happier than the U.S. with the family support and the way of life there.
@@awakenedventures3501 aww i think you are a good wife
At the end of the video I understood why only your mother is allowed to wrap those cakes, she is a pro❤️
She’s s so skilled! 😳
We prepare a similarly wrapped food in Venezuela. It‘s funny that we also have hierarchies in the line of assembly. My aunts were the only ones that my grand mother allowed to wrap and tie the „hallacas“. Fortunately they also taught my generation so we can do our own now 💓
Thank you, it’s great to watch different things and traditions, the flowers are called lilies here in the uk, I look forward to the next part xx
Yeah but if nobody else is allowed to do it, no one will learn it. Her mother started at one point, too and wouldn't it be sad if the tradition would die, because nobody knows how to do it besides her.
I agree! It was very satisfying to watch 😀
This is the first time I have seen one of your videos, I have only seen your shorts before. *You’re such an interesting person and I love learning about your culture.* I don’t know much about Vietnam but our family is also from Southeast Asia too so it’s really cool to learn about our neighbors 😊🙌🇻🇳
Thank you so much! 😊🙌
@@uyenninh oh wow I'm SECONDS away from the reply
+1, beautifully said!
Same, this is my first time watching a video in her channel and not shorts
@@uyenninh by the way the flowers that you got are called lily's, and then there are tiger Lilys because those ones have stripes and are coloured like a tiger.
cảm ơn chị vì lan tỏa nét đẹp văn hóa Việt Nam tới bạn bè quốc tế
Cuối cùng cũng thấy comment tiếng Việt 🎉🎉🎉
9:54 I love the child’s scream in the middle of a very relaxing cake making process there 😂
I’m from Indonesia but a child screaming and crying and their mom screaming back at them are something that I can definitely relate to when I’m visiting my grandma’s village
I am indian and that made me homesick lol 🥲😂
I thought it's my neighbor's kid screaming🗿
@@oo8962same
It sounds like my new neighbours who just moved in 💀
Just returned to U.S. from Vietnam (from wedding and Tet). Got to eat this and now I know how it is prepared! Please make many more videos because I have a new Vietnamese daughter-in-law! I love your perspective and explanations and like to learn more. (And I also got to experience the roosters in her hometown...) Thanks so much! :D
Awwww congratulations to your son getting married! ☺️
Awe congratulations! Embracing the culture and learning to make foods for her will be such a blessing to her ❤💜💙
It's really interesting how different cultures with similar ecosystems have come to create similar foods. We make a version of this in Nicaragua bit with corn instead of rice. Both tropical countries but a world apart. Really interesting.
Her smile when she realized the corn was sweet brought a smile to my face 😊
I'm German ... honestly never saw something so heartwarming
Peace to you and your family ❤
I'm half Vietnamese and always eat those bánh chưng for Lunar New year, but I never knew how they were made. Thank you for sharing the preparation, it makes me appreciate them even more !
Chúc mừng năm mới 🧧
I am a Viet Kieu from the US. I was able to celebrate Tet this year in Saigon, which I will always remember and cherish. It's so wonderful to see how a Vietnamese family truly celebrates Tet. Thank you for highlighting the Vietnamese culture to the world. 🇻🇳
Thank you too for sharing our cuisine 😊
You’re beautiful, beautiful Vietnamese women!!
Our cushiness foods is variously type & yummy 😋
I hope more Youngful Vietnamese & Vietnamese born & raise in West or overseas is keeping praise their cultures alive, never fade away or brainwashed by others cultures to dump our cultures!!
Being Vietnamese or being Asian (exactly is Southeast Asian) is beautiful just like anyone else, any others race. Nothing wrong or shameful with being Asian!!
Asian ppl is beautiful, smart, hardworking & friendly & have great family values!! ❤❤❤
I hope more Youngful Vietnamese & oversea Vietnamese should learn & accept & proudly about their roots, their their cultures, their race & their ancestors!!
Our ancestors were fighting nonstop though generation to generation & keep their inspiration alive to earn respect & freedom & independence today. No matter what in old days we’re family roots from which part of Vietnam or chose what politicians, Vietnamese ppl is always Vietnamese ppl & it’s your roots.
I HOPE YOUNGFUL VIETNAMESE PPL SHOULD BE PROUDLY OF THEIR LOOKS & THEIR CULTURES. Never let brainwashed by others race or anyone!!
In Western media they’re always drawing portrait us Asian is weirdo, ugly & different type ppl mad 😡😡 that’s why alots Youngful Asian in oversea feel they’re ugly, aliens or different & insecure about their looks & their race. BULLSHIT!!
Hope more Youngful Vietnamese oversea should travel back to homeland to see how beautiful, how vibrant colorful & how lively we are!!
Be strong & be positive!! ❤❤❤
This is the purest channel in all of RUclips
if anyone is interested, lá dong (used for wrapping) is the leaves of phrynium placentarium and lá riềng (used as food colouring) is galangal leaves ☺
Can you actually eat it? It was cooked for 10 hours, but out of curiosity, it seemed so thick.
@@agnesmeszaros-matwiejuk8783 we don’t eat them, they’re for wrapping and food colouring only. if u take a look at the other video about food during Tet by Uyen, u’ll see her unwrap banh chung and discard the wrapping (lá dong) ^^
it gives unique flavor, we eat some thing else for vegetable dishes. Actually true Vietnamese meals alwalys have vegetables somewhat
Thank you for the information. I just know that galangal leaves can use for food colouring too. We use Phrynium Placentarium (pandan leaves) and Dracaena angustifolia (suji leaves) for food colouring in Indonesia.
2:09 That flower is a lily in English ☺️
Your videos brim with humor, information, and spirit. Thank for all of the laughs, and I wish you a wonderful New Year!
Yes! This one is peaceful too 🥰🇬🇧🇯🇲
They look like 'Stargazer Lilies' 💗
@@geraldinehamilton2818 What a lovely name! Thank you for introducing me.
we actually call it Ly in Vietnamese too. pronoun just like lily but with only one sound.
This woman was born for this job. She's got a fantastic personality. Her boyfriend is very lucky to find someone so special. I'm really enjoying these videos.
What a wonderful tradition! Thank you for sharing it. A Chung cake seems similar to a pasteles de masa, a Hispanic dish made around Christmas/new years season. So cool how many cultures came up with their own unique and strangely similar foods
This is something the adults in my family used to do when I was a kid but it's been forever since they've done it at home. It's just easier for them to buy them at the store now so it's so nice to see this aspect of Vietnamese culture again
I just loved your expressions when you tried the corn and discovered it was your favorite kind. The joy and gratitude of feeling spoiled by the ones you love, nothing beats it. 💓
Thank you so much for sharing your tradition and your experience with us! Sitting by the fire late into the night was something we did for Easter and it was always a special time. But now as an adult it is less fun😂😢
Your mother is truly a pro and it is so satisfying see skilled persons working (says the spoiled me)😆
This was SO interesting, thank you for sharing your culture with us! Sending love from Sweden! ❤️🇸🇪
Loooove Sweden!!! I lived there for 9 months 20 years ago! It's a goregous cou tey with beautiful people. Very similar to Canada 🇨🇦 🇸🇪
Xem video của chị làm em cũng phần nào bớt nhớ nhà nhớ tết, do năm nay là năm đầu tiên em phải ăn tết xa nhà ❤ cảm ơn chị thật nhiềuuu
This was so interesting. Would love to see more videos about your culture and foods and maybe how to cook them
Noted! 😊
@@uyenninh You are a master storyteller!
@@uyenninh yes please! I love to cook food from other cultures (or at least to try to 🤣)
I always feel like german food is so boring regarding the spices... it's always just salt and pepper 😅
When I saw you prepaing the spices for the cakes, my german brain was really confused to see you continouing with chopping the pork. I was soooo sure this was going to be something sweet 😂
Your mom wraps the cake so beautifully. They look like X'mas gifts❤
I always think its so cool to see how houses are designed in different countries. Like the washing and cooking area
Her smile when she took that first bite of the sweet corn🥰 Love watching your videos. To be honest, I don't know much about Vietnamese culture, watching your videos make me smile and the Vietnamese knowledge is a good bonus ❤️
Hi from Montreal, Qc, Canada! Here, it is a very multinational city. I've seen several versions, of meals wrapped in different leafs... But this is the first time I've seen Chung cake. They are almost too pretty to eat! Glad to find out something I didn't know! Different culture are the soul's food of this world! Happy lunar new year to all (late).
It's good to learn about the different cultures in other SEA countries. Thank you for the nice video! Greetings from the Philippines 😊
Please show or tell us more about your culture! I am so curious, your home looks so beautiful and your family seems so wonderful, but you are also such a good storyteller and can film and edit so well!
It was so nice to see you enjoy the sweet corn your mom cooked specially for you. That is exactly how I feel when I finally get the first tender sweet corn of the season. I can eat it every day when it is very fresh and still pretty young. My mom also knew I loved it and would make it for us during the peak growing season. My mom is gone now, but it’s a tradition I now share with my own children, and I am deeply satisfied watching them enjoy the treat.
It is great to know that Vietnamese also eating this cake during lunar new year! same tradition in Guangxi and parts of Canton in China, just the shape are different, all the ingredients are the same !
I and my husband spent one winter in Vietnam and had a chance to see many of the traditional Tet celebration things you have shown, like kumquat trees, flowers, and red and gold decorations everywhere! Now seeing it again makes me so warm and peaceful inside. Even the chickens scream which woke us up every night kinda nice and familiar! Exploring different cultures things is a beautiful way to become a part of the world. Thank you so much for bringing our memories alive, hope to see Vietnam at least once again, it's such a unique place! Happy new year and happy Tet!
Your mom is really wonderful! Thank you for sharing her cooking with us.
Thank you for sharing this video! I love hearing about your vietnamese and German life, it's so interesting! - love from the USA!
Your mother is an artist. Her cakes are perfect.
So glad to see how you are still sticking to your culture 😇
I love that you took us with you and are showing the Lunar year traditions ❤
I love this video. I have a half Vietnamese grandson and his parents are very open about learning and teaching him his heritage. I will send this video to my daughter so she can show it to him. He is very smart, detail oriented and loves his gramma!!!
You're so good at this kind of video. I love seeing Vietnam from your perspective. These are things I would never get to see any other way. Show us everything you can while you're there!
Here in Scotland we go all out cleaning the house on new year eve.
I even wash all curtains and windows lol. We always make sure we have food prepared too, squally steak pie or “stories” yumm. I was brought up with this tradition so at 57 years old it’s still something i do much to children and grandchildren’s confusion lol.
It’s great to start the new year with a sparkly clean house and good food on the table.
Thank you for sharing your new year traditions and yummy recipes.
Love to you and German boyfriend xx
I love how you showed the process of making these cakes! each step is carried out so thoughtfully, it must be a joy to have the result!
Thank you for sharing about lunar new year in Vietnam, it's really interesting and fun to learn about different traditions!
Vielen Dank,dass du all diese Impressionen teilst! Finde es so interessant und entspannend zu sehen, wie ihr alles vorbereitet
This was all my childhood in Sri Lanka 😍 We used to celebrate our New Year ( which is in April ) in this kind of an environment with different rituals and food. That part you were near that wood boiler melt my heart. I really miss that time. ❤️
I’m Nepali but we also celebrate the new year in April. It’s interesting to see how similar culture can be in different countries
you can enjoy them in Traditional Me cooking channel.
This was very interesting and educational! Somehow through watching your video I feel nostalgia for Vietnam even though I haven’t been to Vietnam ever 😂 Thank you! ❤
Happy New Year! This video is incredible! Can you please show us the finished cake unwrapped in a future video?
I will!😊
❤
❤❤❤❤
Good point! I already wanted to complain that the most important part was left out: How you eat them! ☺
Thats relaxing, interesting and funny. Now I want to go to Vietnam. I love how everything is Self made and just all these plants are so relaxing. ♡
That was fascinating. Those cakes are a work of art. And such care and effort put into their making. Thanks for sharing your traditions. A Happy, Healthy and Peaceful Lunar New Year to you and your family ❤
i love when you post videos or shorts from when youre visit Vietnam. you are such a cheerful person and it really shows how happy you are to cure your homesickness for awhile :)
I love the whole process of making the cake and how collaborative you all are. The natural wrapper from the bamboo tying string to the banana leaf wrappers is so wonderful! It is great that everything can be turned back into compost too.
5:52 is the look of PURE content hahah
I admire your authenticity and spirit. Thank you for sharing from your heart.
Your mom's skill and wrapping the cake was super masterful and I can see and feel the love and traditions in her skill and manufacturing, it made me me chuckle when I use to take my Christmas gifts to give to my mom for her to wrap
That was amazing! Much love from Brazil
It’s so funny because even tho’ we live in such different countries/cultures there are so many similarities
Of course: most of the food, the vegetation and the language are different
I’m from Brazil and yet identified with so many things present on a village daily routine, that’s so sweet
Sending you lots of love!!
so grateful that you are sharing those kind of videos to show up what real authentic Vietnamese food means. Banh Chung is one of my Favs Vietnamese Dishes and I knew that it is hard work to get this done, but a process of 3 days? That is insane and shows me that Vietnamese Food is just representing the culture and just so much more.
This was so interesting! This Holliday is so much hard work. It reminds me of Christmas.
It looks like such a wonderful place where your mom lives! You can tell that she is a great cook! Thank you for showing us abouty our culture and the food you grew up eating , it looks delightful❤
Thank you for sharing your beautiful holiday with us ❤️
P.S. These flowers are called lilies 😉
Oh thank you! 😂
@@uyenninh
Hallo liebe Uyen,
sei nicht traurig wegen der Lilien; es ist eigentlich ganz gut, dass sie kein Wasser hatten. Sie sind wunderschön im Garten, aber im Haus fangen sie oft so übertrieben an zu duften, dass man es kaum aushalten kann; das blieb Euch jetzt erspart, weil sie nicht ganz aufblühen konnten.
(Oder, wie ein Freund von uns einmal sagte: "Entweder die Lilien verlassen dieses Zimmer, oder ich!" 😂🤣😂)
And lilies are super dangerous for cats so nothing to give a cat owner :)
@@Phalaenopsisify only if your cat goes near them - I have lillies all the time as our cat doesn't go on any surfaces like tables, neither did our last cat.
Thoes are Star Gazer Lillies.
it's so special to me to see this Video, it brings Vietnam Culture more into my heart. Please more of those Videos !! Love it 😍😍
I love watching your videos .❤ As a Brit who moved to Germany over 20 years ago I enjoy watching other people explore the same culture shocks that I stumbled over. And now you are sharing your home country culture and traditions. Thank you so much 😊
Happy Lunar New Year! I am a Muslim and I always absolutely love it when other cultures also use and celebrate the Lunar calendar! ❤🎉
"And I paid for it like a real grown up"
I LOVE your content! youre a natural story teller and copywriter. Keep producing for us! I went to Vietnam in Oct 2022 and it was life changing!
Thank you!! I love, love, love seeing/experiencing how different cultures celebrate and all the traditions. Thank you again for bringing us along into your home.
Thank you for the lovely explanatory video. I knew some things about Lunar New Year, but it's interesting to learn more and see a family celebrate.
5:42 Sweet corn is just very fresh. The plant quickly turns the sugar into starch once it's harvested.
That's why fresh sweet corn is so expensive.
While that's true for sweet corn varieties, "sweet corn" is also a particular variety of corn. Other varieties include dent corn & flint corn, among others. Certain corn varieties are better for making corn meal or popping. You can eat them fresh but they won't be as sweet and juicy.
Sweet corn varieties arise through natural mutations (genetic engineering not required) and certain ones grow better in different places.
This was so cool to watch and to see your mom's technique in wrapping the Chung cake and all the preparation in advance to make them. I'm so happy you got it on video because these techniques can often be lost in families when only one person does the majority of the work.
that smile after the first bite of corn. big envy ^^
Oh this is so interesting and wonderful!! As an American mutt, I have zero culture. It makes me wistful when I watch others with such a rich and lovely culture. Thank you for sharing part of your life! 💖
That cake is a piece of art and your mom is an artist ♥️
What a wonderful video! I love your mom’s home, very cozy and welcoming. I can’t believe how labor intensive making the cake is but it must have been so much fun to have mom and all the daughters helping and talking and especially laughing! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for giving us this insight! I loved the very chill vibe of the video and your personal reflections :)
Wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing your traditions with us. This is so interesting and the chung cake looks so good. Yummy!!!! - I hope you could enjoy Tet after all the preparation and work before it! Happy New Year of the Cat!
Thank you so much ☺️
@@uyenninh I/We have to thank you. I love it to learn from you about Vietnamese culture. ❤
Sehr interessant!
Ich hoffe, es kommen noch mehr solch toller Videos aus dem schönen Vietnam.
Einmal konnte ich bis jetzt dieses wunderbare Land besuchen.
Es wird mindestens ein zweites Mal geben! 😊
Love how you show your tradition in lovely and authentic way. So heartwarming❤
That was such an interesting video. Thank you for showing us! So much work that goes into making those cakes wow
Thank you for sharing this 😊
This is so amazing! Thank you for sharing your culture with the world. Im from Romania, and I always thought our food was so time consuming; not anymore! 😂
This video was so calming for me. Thank you very much.
Ahh you are just my favorite!! Your sweet personality and demeanor mixed with the education aspect, just perfection 👏🏾
I loved seeing this! So much effort goes into making the cakes. I wish I could try one!
Happy Lunar New Year, may your fortunes and prosperity increase by leaps and bounds this year! 🐇 🐈
This video was absolutely lovely! Learning about Tet in Vietnam from you is super cool, and the way you talk about it you can feel the love you have for this time!
So nice of you to show us something about Vietnamese life! It's fascinating, and you're such a genius communicating.
Greetings from Switzerland!
Happy lunar new year!! Thanks for sharing all of this for us!! I was so surprised to learn it's year of the cat for you guys! It's rabbit for me haha
Watching you guys make that cake reminds me of making Zhong zi in China, we have to boil them for so long!
The cakes are so beautifully wrapped, I wouldn't want to open them and ruin the design😐
But you have to for appreciating the craftsmanship 🥰🤤
I really love people who appreciate their tradition and culture💕
Fascinating. Thanks to you and your mum for showing your beautiful culture. Very nice and food looks delicious.
When theres gonna be part 2? I cant wait! Those chung cakes look delish😋
Your shorts are an awesome pick-me-up :)
More power to you!
Your simplicity and genuineness are remarkable ... Makes your video so watchable
Fascinating! Thanks for sharing.
I need to see how it looks when it's finally ready to eat 🤤
新年快乐! Happy New Year to you and all fellow Lunar New Year celebrators!
I love this channel. I’ve learned so much about Vietnam and Germany. Thank you for sharing with us!
I loved this! Thank you for showing us all the things, you’re a natural storyteller and I love your humor:) looking forward to the next video :)
I love how your mom wraps the chung cake like pretty gift boxes
