Minh here! Looking back at this I wish I had a haircut before we went on the tour😂 Really glad that you enjoyed the trip and the other suggestion ^^ Hoping to see more of your adventure!
Mình rất vui và rất tự hào vì hai bạn là người nước ngoài đã đi du lịch vào Việt Nam đã xem nhiều phong cảnh đẹp rồi thưởng thức nhiều món ăn rất ngon của Việt Nam
That food looks amazing! My cousin moved to Vietnam. He was sharing pictures of the foods he was eating which was absolutely mouthwatering. He met a woman there and they got married.
A personal food tour are you freaking kidding me?!!!! Count me in! Your guide was so amazing and good at his job! The egg milk coffee actually looked so good! I really want to try it. 😋 I’m a big fan of spring rolls…the ones you had looked top notch! Congratulations on the tastiest vlog ever! I’m off to go eat some crunchy shrimp now….
Your tour guy speaks English very well & provided you a lot of knowledge among Vietnamese cuisine. As a Hanoian, born & raised here, almost of the restaurants, local food stores in this video are famous to foreign people only. Local people don't come there oftenly & removed them out of our favourite places. But I'm glad you guys still had an unforgettable food tour.
I remember one of your earlier videos where y'all talked about how you struggle with describing food and usually just repeated the same basic adjectives. This was such a fun video to watch and your description game has leveled up from pitching a tent to sprinter van. Great job. Love to see the food content. Love the scenic shots. Love to see y'all perfect your craft. Thanks for the great time!
My spouse and I religiously await your Sunday Vlogs! We really are enjoying all of your adventures! Also can’t wait to see you guys reunited with Kona ❤️
This is by far the most spotted on hanoi food tour I’ve ever seen! I had all dishes at the exact locations growing up and they’re so good! I’m not living in Hanoi anymore but this video really brought back some good memories. I’m glad you guys enjoyed Hanoi and hope this Vietnam trip treats you well!
Great video guys! When I was in Hanoi I went on a food tour too. It’s a great way to explore the city with a local and show people back home how delicious Vietnamese food is!
Minh was awesome, I loved the little history lesson at the beginning about the egg coffee. Thank yall for sharing your adventures with us, as always! Really enjoyed this one.
I always wondered about Vietnamese egg coffee and it was great to hear the history, ingredients, and flavors that you enjoyed. I am now inspired to try it!
I honestly think that the "Vietnamese egg coffee" is just one of those things whose stories are either fabricated or exaggerated to attract Western tourists. I was born and raised in Saigon, literally the coffee capital of Vietnam, I grew up drinking 3 cups of coffee a day (still do), and I didn't hear about "Vietnamese egg coffee" until Vietnam became one of South East Asian destinations for Western tourists. I thought perhaps Vietnamese egg coffee became "a thing" after I left in the late 1980's, so I asked a coffee-drinking friend who's still there about Vietnamese egg coffee, and his response was "what's that?" :). Here are something to ponder: 1. When the French were defeated and left in 1954 (the year "egg coffee" was supposedly accidentally invented), Vietnam was divided into two halves. The North, of which Hanoi was the center, was occupied by Communist forces, and those associated with the French and other foreign powers were in control of the South. So, the idea that foreigners crowding the Metropole Hotel in Hanoi were upset because of a shortage of milk is a bit far-fetched. How about the Vietnamese? Trust me, we Vietnamese don't drink milk. 2. The thickness of whipped egg yolks is not at all like that of milk, so the idea that someone decided to whip egg yolks and use it as milk is not to be believed. 3. Vietnam is truly a coffee-drinking country and Vietnamese drink coffee all the time, and yet you only see foreigners in shops where "Vietnamese egg coffee" is served. Why? If you really want to try out the coffee that Vietnamese drink, try iced coffee with condensed milk. This is the type of coffee that can be found at every street corner in Vietnam. Maybe there was a coffeeshop named "Giang" in 1954 as shown in the photo, but I have not seen any documented evidence that egg coffee was invented then. Lots of stories passed around among tourists and backpackers, but many Vietnamese would just smirk when they hear about it. Hate to say it, but we Vietnamese are great at making up stuff. There are things that were taught in school and written in history books that we were required to learn when we grew up, and now they are admitted to simply be make-believe stories.

I understand why Adam initially thought that the avocado was quite off-putting in a fruit salad. Avocado in the west is usually mixed in savory sauces or dishes. But here in Southeast Asia, it's a dessert ingredient. It's also used for fruit shakes.
I feel like Katherine's chopstick stills have slowly been getting better throughout this Vietnam series. I bet she's a pro by now! 😜 We miss Vietnam (and Hanoi) so much! So many great dishes that we really miss. Even after traveling so much since living there, it's still one of our favorite cuisines.
Hello Adventures, and Ohhhhh Myyyyyy...this ain't fair with yall eating all of those delicases in Vietnam, and you didn't save any for us. Fried Bannanas! WOW ! This is AMAZING! OUTSTANDING!
I really love watching you two discovering our Vietnamese culture. I literally hit the subscription button as I watched the very first part; I like your positive energy and vibes. Hope you have a great time touring around Vietnam. 🍀😊
Those fried bananas are delicious if you find someone doing it right. We found a lady making them old school and since we ordered 25 of them for our group, my cousins and I took over the stand and made them ourselves and gave the lady a break. She had to tell her regular customers to come back in an hour. Best fried banana we ever had. All the dishes you ate are my favorites and my grandma mom and aunties made them all the time since grandpa is from Hanoi. Egg coffee was the only one I didn’t get to try (we ran out of time) so I’ll try it next trip to Vietnam 👍 Your videos of food are the best!
^ If you like kind of fried cake like that, i introduce to you the "pillow" cake (bánh gối) & hot fried dough (quẩy nóng) located in "Nhà Chung" street in Hanoi! You should taste them once!
Ah I was drooling from beginning to end and I've never tasted anything like what you guys had! I'm gonna have to make my way there soon and utilize the links you shared!
Life happened so I needed to catch up on this series. I didn’t think I’d like it more than your Alaska travels but wow! Great content!! What memories you are making. Thanks for sharing them!
Great food tour! You guys were able to tuck into a lot of food in one day. Admirable! That sausage you had in the bun da cua is head cheese. That's why there's a crunch - it's from the cartilage in the pig ears.
Food tour!!! Fantastic!!! Egg Coffee looks sooo good and so ingenious! How fresh are the spring rolls!!! Banh Ran reminded me of a French Cruller. Was it like that? Love fruit salad! Cooking on your table, what fun, looks fantastic! Fried banana looks like that could be a new food item at fairs and picnics in the states! I'm so full and I haven't even ate breakfast yet, lol! Pho sure! 😀
We've never had or heard of a French Cruller so we can't compare! The cooking on the table was really fun! The fruit salad was a really nice surprise. I bet you could find the fried banana at state fairs. I know at the Texas one they fry everything so I wouldn't be surprised to see it there We pho sure appreciate y'all watching!
Another great video from you two - love how you're open minded to try pretty much everything. That fried spring roll shop in front of the narrow doorway was legit - it's across from a pate place with delicious duck pate. Next time in the north or Hanoi I'd also recommend Bun dau mam tom - it's a whole lot of food for not a lot of price. A bunch of little dishes and funky shrimp paste and you mix it together with vermicelli noodles.
I would NEVER recommend bun dau mam tom (or anything with the word mam in it) to people whom are not already extremely familiar with Vietnamese food. A large swath of the Vietnamese population cannot eat mam like that, never mind foreigners whom are just getting over their intimidation of fish sauce. With that being said, many people do love bun dau mam tom and are addicted to that dish.
One of the most dirty capital in the world. I 've been in Hanoi for 30 years and I'm bored at what the foreigners always complain if they have been in here for more a week. That is messy traffic and dirty street food.
I like your “how-to” approach in this video. I may subscribe after checking up your other videos. I also like the couple thing, because of different perspectives. Nice video.
That is so awesome to hear! Thank you so much for watching and following along! Check out our website as well. We can be much more detailed and thorough in our written content!
Back at that time there was a shortage of milk only in North Vietnam , not in the South . It's why the egg coffee was `` born`` in Hanoi . The people in Saigon still had milk ( fresh and condensed ) until 1975 . You should try those grilled minced pork rolls ( Nem Nuong ) in Nha Trang , where they are originated from . It's an explosion of flavors in your mouth . Those fried Spring Rolls are called Nem Ran in the North and Cha Gio in the South , are actually not necessary a New Year delicacy .You can eat them all year long . In the South there is a banana dessert called Chuoi Nep Nuong ( grilled banana wrapped in sticky rice covered with a flavorful coconut milk sauce and peanut/tapioca pearls on top ) which is a divine delight . A few years ago that dish won the gold medal at an international dessert contest in Singapore . Bon Appétit mes amis !
I went to Hanoi, and visited a lot of the places you have pinned in the description of the video. I would have never found the fried banana spot on my own. I LOVED THE BANANA. Videos like this one are immensely helpful especially the pinned places. Thank you for doing this :)
You were there just after us and we booked to go back soon as we got home, it’s our new favourite place 😁 You’re right you learn sooo much about the country on these tours as opposed to wandering around on your own. We did one in Saigon on scooters and it’s still the best thing we’ve ever done. Interesting about your Thailand comments we’ve used Thailand as a springboard to go to Vietnam and I prefer Vn unfortunately my Mrs prefers Thailand so we have to go to both! Iv just used maps to see where some of these places where and I knew the area 7 mins from our last hotel. We’ll do this next time thanks for posting, I might add a comment to this in May. Cheers to you both
Hi! We loved Hanoi! Yes tours are a great way to learn a lot. We really enjoyed Vietnam and want to see more of Thailand. Let us know how your next trip goes! Thanks for watching!
Always enjoy watching your videos. I love fried bananas too (FYI - Vietnam has several different types of bananas and the one used for our deserts is my fav). Thank you; have fun; and I'm looking forward to seeing your next vids.
I'm envy you two. I haven't had it for over 10 years. I came back to the STates 13 years ago. I'm dying to have one of the dishes, glad to see you guys enjoy it, well, I hope you do.
Just got my shirt I loves it!! Love watching your travels makes me wish I could travel like that! Love the content guys . Love that you have Kona on the shirt too ❤
I've been keeping up with watching your videos but been terrible with leaving comments! I'm going to use the term 'inspirers' instead of influencers, but once again, you guys have inspired me and even though I've been saying for years I want to go to Vietnam... and have never got round to it... flights were officially booked last week! 🙌 We've jumped on them before the prices go up, but work is incredibly busy (always is at this time of year) so will start with the itinerary, accommodation and activity planning in the next month or two. These videos have been amazing for inspiration and ideas! I LOVE Vietnamese food, we're lucky to have a nice café in walking distance from our home, but I bet its nothing even close to what you guys have experienced on this tour. I'm 100% with your guide not liking cucumbers... I'd have probably left that out too! Really liked learning about the history of the food in this video too!
That is so AWESOME to hear! We are so pumped for you! That’s great you already have a liking of Vietnamese food and know a bit of what to expect! If you need any help with planning or have a question about an area please let us know!
I liked seeing all the foods you both tried. I think I've actually tried the rice paper as a lotus blossom dessert in a chinese restaurant we use to visit. Really enjoyed your video, & meeting Ming. I hope each of you have a wondeful week!
The fresh spring rolls with that dipping sauce sound mouthwatering! I’m curious, what other local dishes did you enjoy the most during your time in Hanoi?
Our favorites in Vietnam were bun bo nam bo and bun cha! This blog post we wrote for our website shares our other favorites: adventuresofaplusk.com/best-food-in-hanoi/ Thanks for watching!
Kathryn I love the tank tops you wear. They look light and cottony. Perfect for California in summertime which is where i live. I used to have a few like that years ago. Do you have a link where you get them? Loving the videos of you guys and your travels. Been a fan for years.
Guys, your videos are excellent and extremely helpful (lots of ideas and addresses for upcoming Vietnam trip.) Do us a favour please and enable the tipping function here so that we can show our appreciation properly. Cheers !

I totally agree with you; these stores are just average and have contracts with tour company. The locals wouldn't eat here.
Where would you go for chả cá thăng Long @ bún chả Hà nội as a local please ?
Thanks
Great video. Thanks. I'm in Hanoi next week. On your recommendation I've booked the same tour!
That's so awesome! We hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
It worth it!
I remember one of your earlier videos where y'all talked about how you struggle with describing food and usually just repeated the same basic adjectives.

Wow editing & sound is on point my friend !❤
Back at that time there was a shortage of milk only in North Vietnam , not in the South . It's why the egg coffee was `` born`` in Hanoi . The people in Saigon still had milk ( fresh and condensed ) until 1975 . You should try those grilled minced pork rolls ( Nem Nuong ) in Nha Trang , where they are originated from . It's an explosion of flavors in your mouth . Those fried Spring Rolls are called Nem Ran in the North and Cha Gio in the South , are actually not necessary a New Year delicacy .You can eat them all year long . In the South there is a banana dessert called Chuoi Nep Nuong ( grilled banana wrapped in sticky rice covered with a flavorful coconut milk sauce and peanut/tapioca pearls on top ) which is a divine delight . A few years ago that dish won the gold medal at an international dessert contest in Singapore . Bon Appétit mes amis !
Wow! Thanks for sharing that!
I went to Hanoi, and visited a lot of the places you have pinned in the description of the video. I would have never found the fried banana spot on my own. I LOVED THE BANANA. Videos like this one are immensely helpful especially the pinned places. Thank you for doing this :)
That’s so awesome to hear! We’re glad we could be of help! Thanks and thanks for watching!
You were there just after us and we booked to go back soon as we got home, it’s our new favourite place 😁 You’re right you learn sooo much about the country on these tours as opposed to wandering around on your own. We did one in Saigon on scooters and it’s still the best thing we’ve ever done. Interesting about your Thailand comments we’ve used Thailand as a springboard to go to Vietnam and I prefer Vn unfortunately my Mrs prefers Thailand so we have to go to both!
Iv just used maps to see where some of these places where and I knew the area 7 mins from our last hotel. We’ll do this next time thanks for posting, I might add a comment to this in May. Cheers to you both
Hi! We loved Hanoi! Yes tours are a great way to learn a lot. We really enjoyed Vietnam and want to see more of Thailand. Let us know how your next trip goes! Thanks for watching!
Always enjoy watching your videos. I love fried bananas too (FYI - Vietnam has several different types of bananas and the one used for our deserts is my fav). Thank you; have fun; and I'm looking forward to seeing your next vids.
The fried bananas were awesome! Thank you and thanks for watching!
Looking really good. Thanks for sharing this 😋
Minh's English is amazing, capital A capital G! I'm very impressed.
After a month's trip in Vietnam, I'm back in the UK. 😢😢😢Where is my beautiful Pho , where is that amazingly tasty and fresh food ?😭😭😭
I'm envy you two. I haven't had it for over 10 years. I came back to the STates 13 years ago. I'm dying to have one of the dishes, glad to see you guys enjoy it, well, I hope you do.
Vietnam was amazing!
welcome to Vietnam wish you have a pleasant journey
We had a wonderful time!
My mouth is drooling watching you guys eat :)
Really appreciate your sweet energy! The food in Vietnam is amazing. I am really glad you enjoyed the varieties that are offered there! Blessings!
Thank you and thanks for watching!
I love your vlogs! 👏
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Love your photography, love the LIGHTING!!! Love seeing through your eyes!!! Please keep it up. 😄
Just got my shirt I loves it!! Love watching your travels makes me wish I could travel like that! Love the content guys . Love that you have Kona on the shirt too ❤
That is so awesome! Thank you so much and thanks for watching, Lisa!
Glad you are having a great time.
Yes! We had the best time eating in Hanoi! Those spots you showed on the video are incredible and we loved every single one!
I love the context and the details when you guys describe things.
Great video! Love you guys!
I've been keeping up with watching your videos but been terrible with leaving comments! I'm going to use the term 'inspirers' instead of influencers, but once again, you guys have inspired me and even though I've been saying for years I want to go to Vietnam... and have never got round to it... flights were officially booked last week! 🙌 We've jumped on them before the prices go up, but work is incredibly busy (always is at this time of year) so will start with the itinerary, accommodation and activity planning in the next month or two. These videos have been amazing for inspiration and ideas! I LOVE Vietnamese food, we're lucky to have a nice café in walking distance from our home, but I bet its nothing even close to what you guys have experienced on this tour. I'm 100% with your guide not liking cucumbers... I'd have probably left that out too! Really liked learning about the history of the food in this video too!
That is so AWESOME to hear! We are so pumped for you! That’s great you already have a liking of Vietnamese food and know a bit of what to expect!
If you need any help with planning or have a question about an area please let us know!
Whoa what a food tour!!! Outstanding everything looked delicious! Great video guys! ~Cara 😊
The fried banana goes very well w vanilla ice cream
I liked seeing all the foods you both tried. I think I've actually tried the rice paper as a lotus blossom dessert in a chinese restaurant we use to visit. Really enjoyed your video, & meeting Ming. I hope each of you have a wondeful week!
All of the food was so so good and the tour was a ton of fun! Thank you, you as well!
Vietnam,đơn giản,bình dị,dễ hiểu,tự do,thoải mái,không cần quá nhiều tiền,mà vẫn sống đủ.
My wife and I always do guided food tours. One of the best ways to learn about the city, culture and eat the best stuff.
We totally agree!
The fresh spring rolls with that dipping sauce sound mouthwatering! I’m curious, what other local dishes did you enjoy the most during your time in Hanoi?
Our favorites in Vietnam were bun bo nam bo and bun cha!
This blog post we wrote for our website shares our other favorites: adventuresofaplusk.com/best-food-in-hanoi/
Thanks for watching!
Coffee looks so good ❤
I can tell you both love Vietnam. Exquisite food. 😋👍😊💙🇻🇳
Kathryn I love the tank tops you wear. They look light and cottony. Perfect for California in summertime which is where i live. I used to have a few like that years ago. Do you have a link where you get them?
Loving the videos of you guys and your travels. Been a fan for years.
Thank you so much! These are Vuori tanks and I love them! Thank you for watching!
@@AdventuresofAplusK I ordered two!!! Thank you!

Not only foreigners, Vietnamese too 😂
An amazing tour guy! You guys are amazing too!
I totally thought the banana cake was a piece of fried fish! Too funny that Adam actually said that later! 😆
