    🥒 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.

I'm a total travel bug but I'm stuck studying for a medical degree and I just can't express my gratitude enough for the chance to live vicariously through Sonny. Also Sonny is getting remarkable opportunities that as an average traveler I'm not sure I'd know how to gain on my own or in my own native language but him and his team are just remarkable.

      The $5k includes ticket money. I spent less than $2800 on 5 weeks vacation in Southeast Asia when I was single. It might not work for you though, I don't drink, don't smoke and don't go to bars.....just straight up eating all kinds of food and traveling to every city and countryside I came across.

    Hey Sonny, thank you for always bringing laughter, diversity, and cultural awareness from all around the world. Every time I watch your videos (particularly towards the end) when you give your overall summary of your experience, I always feel slightly more educated about the different ethnicity from all over the world that are different and sometimes even alike of that of my own.
    Cheers!

    Many of the foods are what I had at feasts during my childhood. The pork belly is called "flipped meat" where I come from because it's flipped before serving. The five colours sticky rice is a staple for feasts honouring ancesters. The crispy roasted suckling pig is also a specialty. Great video!

    Thank you so much for lighting up the many unique ethnic groups out to the world to see. Beautiful sceneries and especially delicious food!! Thank you! This area has a lot of my people, the Hmong. Depending on where they resides, their recipes and food are slightly different from 1 location to other. In America, we have fusions and combinations with many modern and westerners.

    I came across this video by chance; so happy that you featured "khau nhuc" meat (flipped meat). "Khau nhuc" is a pretty awesome dish of Tay people, being one-forth Tay I've always wondered how the meat is prepared, with all the minced herbs, frying and simmering. I've been told the dish is eaten in some parts of China as well.
    I only get to eat "khau nhuc" once a year when my family travelled back to my mother's hometown in Lang Son. Crave the tasty, fragrant, melting feeling so much. Thanks for sharing wonderful footage and best wishes on your food adventure.
