    Another awesome video Tim 👍they sure love their cá trích ép trứng over there 😆 my father is from Hanoi and he loves Bánh Dầy Giò Lụa ( 18:14 ) you got it right by adding the pork roll 😄it has no taste to it so I don't know why he loves it so much 🤷‍♂ you can't get mantis shrimp & crab fresher than that 😂 24:43 looks like guava to me and by your expression I can tell it was durian 😆I must admit, I really enjoyed this video Tim

  • @peacekelly1128
    @peacekelly1128 Год назад +2

    It looked like a very good buffet. Not having air conditioning in there is a very good way to not have people eat too much. When I am hot, I cannot eat a lot. I don’t know about everybody else but I need to be comfortable if I’m eating, especially at a buffet. I hope you had a pool at where you’re staying or at least a nice cool shower after dinner.

    I don’t think I will make it as far as you did, because after one plate, I get too full.

    Chả (Steam Pork Roll) should place in between to pieces of Bánh Dày (the white, flat and round glutinous rice cake).
    Bánh Xèo and Chả Giò (Egg Roll) were too soft, they didn't sound crunchy to me.
    The "unknown" fruit is Guava.
    For dessert, you should add Coconut Milk, instead of Ice Cream.😄
    Thanks for sharing.😋

      I'm sure. If you like these kind of buffet. Then you should visit Singapore upper class Hotel. They serve a very good varieties of East & Western food but in more simple form and not as complex or fanciful as the one you have shown in your video. The selections are just enormous from different culture. Some even specialise in specific Asian culture food like the Peranakan or what we call Baba, Nyonya food.

    Hi Tim...it was worth $20-30 USD for such an array of the freshest seafood 👍...glad you enjoyed your meal til the end when you chose the " yellow ice cream "...had my suspicion on the flavor due to it's color 😋...never had durian before but I still will give it a pass 🤣...safe travels and God Bless , stay well my friend 😘🤗💕

  • @melissalambert7615
    @melissalambert7615 Год назад

    Rice wrapper items looked wonderful. Razor clams are expensive here (if you can find) in western Oregon. You know it's hot when you need ice under your ice cream. I love sweet red bean. Durian - surprise!! Ha, ha. I've never had it.

  • @nikserof2183
    @nikserof2183 Год назад

    Another mouth-watering selection Tim. You do go to the best. 8:36 I don't mean to teach you how to suck eggs, but in Japan only the fish is dipped in soy before eating; otherwise, the sauce makes the rice disintegrate. Plus, in Japan at least, with nigiri, it's perfectly fine and probably easier to use fingers.

    @KatieN77 Год назад

    Thanks for your videos, Tim. I enjoy watching them.
    Regarding the unknown fruit that had the green skin, if I'm not mistaken, it looks like cut up guava. The camera went by it so quickly so I'm not sure. Soursop has a bumpier inedible skin and has dark seeds inside of a soft milky flesh.
    If you should visit Vietnam again and want to avoid the heat, I believe March is the best time to travel as it's at the end of the dry season and the average daily temperature is around 23C. It's also low season so can save a lot 🙂. Enjoy the rest of your time there.

    • @TimLeeLetsGo
      @TimLeeLetsGo  Год назад

      Thank you so much! I think it's probably guava too. Much appreciate the tip as it was quite hot, still enjoyable but I'm sure March would have been much better

    • @jeffhampton2767
      @jeffhampton2767 Год назад +1

      I used to go to Florida all the time. You have to have air conditioning, you have to have a pool or have use of a pool, you wear lightweight shorts, sandals or flip-flops, a tank top or muscle shirt, and wearing no underwear helps.

  • @minlui2752

    This is a seafood buffet with a small seafood hotpot included is a different style. It seemed like it was really hot 🥵 so obviously the air conditioning in Vietnam is not up to Hong Kong standards. Even in the USA, sometimes the air conditioning is not as good as Hong Kong!!!! I could never eat in a hotpot Chinatown restaurant in the hot summer days, because the air conditioning is just not good enough in a so called advanced country the USA!!!! Hopefully Vancouver, Canada have air conditioning in their businesses that is up to Hong Kong standards. Still, you seemed to have fun cooking the small crabs, razor clams plus other food. Glad to see you are having fun exploring different parts of Vietnam 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

They wear thin clothes, wick proof shirts, tanks, hats, etc. Definitely hats or hand fans help during the day. You will see some people use umbrella 🌂 from the sun 🌞 too.

  • @EngineeredTheMind
    @EngineeredTheMind Год назад

    If you haven't given Vietnamese food much of a try, think you just need to give it a few times to let your pallet adjust with some of the dishes with fish sauce. I know my first couple i tried, it wasn't bad, but I could still sense it was there. but once you adjust, at least for me, I can't taste the fish sauce at all, sweet, delicious. and such a wide range in flavors from the sweet to the sour and spicy. Its amazing, can't eat americanized chinese food any more because it tastes so bland compared to vietnamese food.

  • @normanh4905
    @normanh4905 Год назад +1

    Tim - video itself was well-done and informative, but this place probably would not be for me. First, as others have pointed out in the comments, the lack of A/C in the restaurant would make it quite uncomfortable to eat there. It seems the restaurant was thus very hot which would also make me worry about food safety (items sitting out in such heat). Second, many of the food items just didn’t look that attractive, especially the hot foods, many of which seemed to be covered in gloopy sauces. The fruit looked good. Nevertheless, it seems many diners were having a good time, so to each their own.

      @Salmonfire The buffet restaurant probably lost the Abalone!!!!! It is sad, but the ABC born here don’t usually like the Abalone which is chewy with a awesomely delicious taste to it. You seems to be familiar with Abalone. Caucasians do not serve Abalone in any restaurants, and it is not sold anywhere with the exception of online. You can buy anything online these days. However, you can buy them in the Chinatowns’ stores in the major cities.

      @minlui2752 Год назад

      @qOrpz3 You really have to be observant watching these videos or put it on the television cuz otherwise it’s easy to miss the details!!!! The girl in pink filmed him. You said that you never seen that on his videos before. I was thinking that someone needs to film him as he is walking around. In the past, he had said he hold his camera in one hand to film the food on the buffet tables. However, in this video it shows him walking around more so he can’t film himself. As for him eating at the table, the camera can be put on a tripod to film him. I am no camera expert so don’t know.
