I got teary-eyed when you expressed how much Anthony's travels influenced you. I also grew up watching Mr Bourdain, Mr Zimmerman, Mrs Brown and so many others. Being able to live vicariously through others is a huge part of my life now. I appreciate your videos and you have gained a new subscriber.
It was a little emotional being there. Such a huge inspiration in my life. Thank you for watching!!
I'm Vietnamese from Hochiminh city. I love the way you created video series about Vietnam. Also, I love when you smile very friendly and said hello with local people. We appreciated your work to promote Vietnam to the world.
Vietnamese people are some of my favorite in the world. Seriously so nice
@@CountingCountries Everyone is friendly and so beautiful out there. 👍
@@CountingCountries Hehhe you don’t known until you live there try to stay for 5 year you’ll see
@@chris-yh9yj Exactly. Everybody is nice to the 1-day fly by tourist. Live there. lmfao.
Hello there, we are visiting Vietnam again in 2 weeks after visiting extensively & falling in love with it last year.
Will be in Saigon/HCM for the first time, which restaurants would you recommend as a local? ;)
I accidentally discovered your video of my country. I subscribed immediately to follow your adventures. I am Vietnamese who lives in Canada 🇨🇦. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video. Have fun and enjoy your new experiences with the country.
Thanks so much for watching!! Love to 🇻🇳and 🇨🇦!!
I'm a huge AB fan and a couple of my favorite things about Anthony is that he explored places not many would explore, ate with the locals and ate what many wouldn't dare to so thank you. If you can, go to SAPA, Vietnam and find a "Red Dao/Yao/Mien tribe" village and do a homestay with them and they'll feed you unique tribes food
That’s a great idea thank you!
Thank you for trying Anthony Bourdain favourite meal. It's still sad how he passed away. I recalled he loved eating the banh xeo at a street resto from his closest Vietnamese friends and eating with Obama. Maybe tried those places out
Definitely!!
Thank you for taking us on this amazing adventure with us Jordan, just watching you enjoy every moment makes me smile, I'm so glad you're enjoying my homeland.. I cannot wait to come back soon and experience the hospitality and food culture in Vietnam.. I look forward watching your next video.. keep up the excellent work 👏
Thanks for the video. Seeing the Bun lady again reminded me of the Viet Nam Episode from Anthony Bourdain. I really miss him and I've watched every one of his episodes from a Cook's Tour to his final day at CNN.
Wow that’s incredible. I need to watch all of those as well
I love Anthony Bourdain too, and this video made me miss him. Thank you for honoring him.
Thanks for the kind words. I think all of us miss him and it is very fun to see a few of the places he has been
Welcome to Vietnam 🇻🇳 Please try more delicious dishes : Coffee, banh mi, bun cha, bun bo hue,.....And many more dishes
Definitely. More coming!!
Very happy for your homage to Anthony Bourdain. He said that when you come to Vietnam for the first time, your life will change. I can definitely attest to that
Agreed. I definitely felt that visiting my first time. Incredible country
Love the way you say Bourdain is part of the reason you travel. I’m in HCM now and feel he’s partly responsible for this journey I’m on too…
RIP A. Bourdain ♥️
RIP ❤️❤️❤️
Order everything Anthony Bourdain had ☺ I believed he was there in spirit giving you a big smile.
11:41 It's something everyone notices when they go to Vietnam: the people are extraordinarily friendly and welcoming. Everyone who comes with peaceful intentions is made to feel at home. It's all the more remarkable considering how often they have had to fight invaders and occupiers.
Truly is amazing. What an incredible place 🇻🇳
you're right with observation. it is because the Vietnamese know that they can bleed and die and that other people can also bleed and die that they try not to make a too big issue out of it :-)
@INKLe ꪜ vietnamese have bee
Vietnamese have sufffered and fought hard for their independent and freedom throught history. A People who have expereineced a lot of suffering and horror of conflicts tend to gravitate to happiness, positivty and friendship in Others people. They dont approach different people with too much fear of the Others...for they know that the worst could be that they could be kill or that they have a fair chance of killing the Others. So the best approach isnto be friendly and welcoming and with peaceful intentions as a first policy instead of fear, suspition and guarded weariness...

You can’t go to Hue without visiting the Ancient Town of Hoi An during night. Every now and then there’s a lantern festival and it is one of the most beautiful thing in the world.
Different cities..
You seem so nice and cool and laidback. Great video showing meals at 2 ends of the spectrum! I loved how much food you got at lunch for only $2. That’s insane and amazing! And bun bo Hue is so delicious.
Ahhh this is so nice thank you so much 🥰🥰
Enjoy your honest experience of Vietnam and the friendly interaction with the people 👍
Thanks for watching!!
For the past month or so I’ve been binging Vietnam travel videos, and this is the video that started it for me. It randomly appeared on my homepage and I’ve been watching your videos and other’s ever since. I just saw you in a bunch of World Nomac videos and that brought me back here. Happy travels!
Thank you so much for watching!! Mac is one of the coolest guys I know!!
@@CountingCountries thank you for taking us along for the ride 🙏
I'm a Hue local, I was a tour guide in the past, but covid 19 came and everything was gone. Thank you for your cute video.
Love Hue. Thanks for sharing
Everything looked so delicious!! Especially that cheesecake at the end!! Also I can’t believe all of the scooters that are there! That’s insane!! Can’t wait for the next adventure
Thanks for watching 🥰
Awesome videos man. You’re account is going to blow up. Enjoy the ride.
I love Anthony Bourdain I’ve been watching him since I was 13 years old he really opened my eyes to the world around me and all the different cultures and food that I want to experience one day 🥺💖 thanks for sharing this special video
I am a Vietnamese,i do not know a lot english but i follow and support you
Thank you for supporting!!
The reason you noticed a heavy French influence is because France ruled Vietnam for quite a long time and it was known as French Indo China for most of that time
I came here to say that. Being a French colony for 60 years may have something to do with it 😊
A road covered by motorbikes vs. cars? Would love to see that.
Sweet video, man. Thank you.
13:50 because they were occupy the by the French for along time. Pho were also a mixture from that. Sometime it good to learn
There is a huge French influence in Vietnam because France colonized Vietnam for a long time. I think ultimately that makes some Vietnamese cuisine very unique. I totally fell in love with Vietnam, though I spent most of my time in Hoi An.
The meat she served you on first dish was cooked, the young guy did not understand you, that why he answer yes when you asking him "un cook meat"
What a great way to honor Anthony Bourdain. Only in Vietnam you can get picked up by a random guy and go safely to your destination. 😆 I should know, because I was lost in the country side as a female and this nice lady came out from her patio and drove me 20 minutes to my destination. Funny when he said: for some reasons, the have a really good French influence. 😂
Thank you for visiting my country. I wish you good health and happiness. waiting for your next video
You know how to enjoy foods and experience new different things 👍. Most people don’t dare to go to a Fancy Restaurant when they travel ….
Normally I like to stick to local places but I wanted to see both ends of the food spectrum!!
At 3:34, it is not raw meat. It is either fermented meat (fresh sausage) or cooked sausage without preservatives.
The dichotomy between the price of lunch and dinner is crazy! Really interesting to see the contrast meals can be from humble to fine dining. I'm not sure that's not the best bun bo Hue, but Viets do love bun bo Hue since it's pho's spicier cousin. :)
Yeah I wanted to see both ends of the spectrum and both meals were amazing!!
❤❤❤
As long as Vietnam is still ruled by the oppressive and exploitive Communist regime, her potential remains greatly diminished. For any 1% that wants to stay, 99% of the population wants to get out, and many have risked their lives doing just that (for example, 39 doomed lives found in UK container truck recently on the news, and that's only what's been reported), unfortunately. Yet another shocking and also recent example is that during the Covid pandemic when almost all countries assisted their citizens with financial aids in one form or another, the corrupt and murderous Vietnamese Commie regime saw it just as another opportunity not to help but to exploit its ruled citizens even more, essentially making money over the corpses of its citizens by presumably killing at least 30-50K of them, due to grossly misdiagnoses and being thrown into barbwired unhygenic living quarters for isolation, so that they had to sleep on concrete floor, even next to filled trashcans, with inadequate toilet, food, water, or medicine, like animals (searching hard enough, one is able to see shocking video clips on Facebook though the regime tried hard to crack down the leaks by Vietnamese citizen journalists), with the fake nostril Covid test kits, mislabeled as approved by World Health Organization (WHO) in Việt Á scandal, colluded by at least 4 different government agencies (Y Tế , Khoa Học, Công Nghệ, Quân y) and the top Politburo members, including Nguyễn Phú Trọng, Phạm Minh Chính, Nguyễn Xuân Phúc.
Murderous Vietnamese Commie regime even had a thug murdered Christian pastor Giuse Trần Ngọc Thanh, like it has done with many other pastors across the nation. There is a reason why the current Commie Vietnam ranks at the bottom of the world in freedom of speech, (true) freedom of religion, and freedom of the press, barely above Commie China and Commie North Korea. There is no true freedom of religion in Commie Vietnam, as this corrupt Vietnamese Commie regime only authorized the fake organizations headed by Commie monks, many of whom were Commie Party officials, and those religious organizations not approved to be infiltrated by them or headed by their Commie agents are accused of malicious and nonexistent crimes and banned, with innocent religious leaders arrested and jailed, as in the recent case with Thiền Am Bên Bờ Vũ Trụ, a harmless Buddhist meditation monastery, for simply having many followers (hence, more influences that the regime fears it can't control) than the Commie Party's officially approved ones. Similarly, its passport ranks at the bottom, 89th out of 111 countries for a reason, barely above North Korea 104th rank. even below many African nations. For comparison, South Korea is at 2nd rank. That's what Republic of South Vietnam would have likely been ranked among at least the top 10 had it not been invaded and occupied by the North Vietnamese Commie terrorists, aided by Commie Soviet and Commie China.
The corrupt Vietnamese Commie government officials routinely dine on lavish gold-plated Salt Bae steak $100K per meal with blood money not just from taxpayers but also from robbed-lands and robbed homes recently drew international condemnations, while many Vietnamese citizens, including elderlies in their 60's and 70's as well as kids as young as 6's to 16's selling lottery tickets on the streets to survive on $2-3 per day. Even Phạm Nhật Vượng the richest man in Vietnam (via his VinGroup) made the bulk of his wealth mainly by colluding with the barbarian Vietnamese Commie regime in selling their robbed-lands from Vietnamese citizens. Travelers to Vietnam in her current form (not at all like this before the Communists took over) should keep this in mind. Behind the beauty of the land and smiling faces at popular tourist destinations, there are a lot of darkness and tears, bloods, sweats, sorrow, horror, and sufferings all over the country.
I remember the episode Bourdain did talking about that meal. So cool you experienced it. Next time, pls take me :)
I remember watching that old old video when Anthony Bourdain went with his French chef friend. But I think Anthony meant bun bo Hue is one of his top 5 "dishes", not necessarily that eatery has the best bun bo Hue. Regardless, I see how xenophobic the world has become (yes, especially the Western world) and I appreciate and respect Anthony Bourdain even more for his willingness to show the beauty and goodness all over the world. Thanks again for taking the time to film and post these videos, I know how much time and energy it takes.
I don't see the world becoming more xenophobic. My experience has been the opposite.
I believr you're right. BBH was his top five dish, not the eatery.
I am a really big fan of Tony Bourdain also. I’m glad you can follow his travels , really amazing times.
Amazing guy, it’s so special to travel to the same place he did
Good morning from Texas, joined your channel today!😎
🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳 việt nam rất nhiều món ăn ngon và rẻ và rất quý khách chúc cháu đã yêu thích việt nam
Epic $2 meal to a $44 usd meal, I loved both. Well represented.
Appreciate that thank you!
The first dish you eat is sizzling pancakes or crepes and the second one is fried sticky rice dumplings, pork belly, mung bean, shrimp, the third one it Vietnamese Clear Shrimp & Pork Dumpling
Sizzling crepes. I wish people would quit calling them pancakes...we all know pancakes aren't flat and big like that. And considering the French influence in a lot of Viet cuisine (not saying this one in particular), let's go with crepes.
@@hangeroo2439 how about Vietnamese taco sounds better
@@tomkim6568 No, because it's nothing like a taco. LOL!
@@hangeroo2439 I agree with you. Let’s call Crispy & Savory Vietnamese Crêpes.
Thanks for sharing all the meals that you tried to eat like AB. Thumb up.
The food look so good! Watching from Cambodia
Vietnam was French colony, hence the reason why the meals have a French influence.
New to the channel. Love your laid back presentation. 😌
Thank you! Much love ❤️🙏🏽
I love how you interact with the locals. I'm sure your height makes you stand out and you're a giant to them, but you're just so friendly and approachable - I'm sure they got a kick out of you being there.
I always love seeing peoples reactions when I walk in. 99% of the time they are very nice and will help me translate or whatever I need help with
You should try all the delicious food in VietNam (recommended by other foreign youtubers), especially in Ha Noi and HCM city (not only Anthony's dishes)
Will do :)
I literally went to Vietnam for the first time in 2016 because of Anthony. I've travelled all over the world since purely through being inspired by him.
I flew to Vietnam in 2019. My wife and I spent a week in Ho Chi Minh and loved our stay. I rank my stay there 5 stars. I plan on going back soon.
Oh my brother. I have not tried Anthony Bourdain's Favorite Restaurant. I'll def try it - u make me hungry man
First time watcher..great stuff
My husband and I just arrived in Hue and will be visiting Mrs Kim! Thanks for the video!
Tell her hi!! Have fun!
I love how she pulled down her mask to smile. That Pho looked amazing! I'm blown away that it was just 2 usd
Vietnam is definitely on my bucket list!! So beautiful
For some reasons Vietnam has a strong French influence? Maybe it’s because France colonised Vietnam for nearly 100 year?
Relax my guy I didn’t know this until after 🤣
Yeah, this made me want to throw my computer into the wall
Wow amazing I was at the imperial palace in hue in 2017. And I believe I was at the same market to eat as well. Very cool to see it all again.
The food looks amazing --good luck with your travels
Lol the wedding 😜😂😅
Finally someone mentioned them 😭 that was so random
Gordon ramsay once said that vietnamese people are eating food that is too cheap for its quality! certainly so
I would definitely agree with that!!
Part of that is the Vietnamese themselves. They undersell themselves and their time. I always hate it when Viets are like, "Oh, you paid too much for that! You were ripped off." When the amount isn't that much more (I saw a comment on Egypt where they were wanting $50 for socks, THAT is something you should feel pissed off at, not paying $.50 more for a meal in Vietnam when the meal is already dirt cheap). How are they ever gonna get rich if they charge barely above costs? Sure, they then have to work harder by getting the volume up, but they need to learn that quality also sells. Do you think Apple apologizes for how much they charge for their products and all the extra stuff you have to pay at a premium? No.
@@hangeroo2439 In Vietnam, there are many places that are quite restrictive about setting prices publicly, so it is essential to ask the price before eating or buying something, if you find that the price is not reasonable you can refuse, VND Note that foreigners will be sold more expensive in Vietnam but if it gives a good experience, it is worth it! inherently many things in Vietnam are very cheap compared to other countries!
@@hangeroo2439: great & interesting observation. You’ve tapped into the Viet psyche here. It may seem insignificant enough on the surface but if has deeper roots reflecting the Viet’s turbulence struggles just to survive !
Generally speaking, (and I hope I don’t offend any Viets here since I’m one and feel I know enough having living oversea for 41 years and learning about & observing many cultures to commend on this topic) Viets place & know great value to all “things” associating to our survival. Beyond that, we don’t really place value on lots of other “things”. Is it because of the fact that we have been (from eon of time) busy surviving (and we’re v good at it) and no time/energy to “living”, really “living” to the point where it’s elevated to an art form, unfortunately. How can one places value on something one, organically, doesn’t consider valuable or have any notion of its value ? Just my observation. Please chime in and add to the conversation. Thanks 🙏
@@ttran2859 I think you're correct about the focus being survival with all the wars fought throughout history there. But it's time to change as many of the Viets are rich now and the ones that aren't shouldn't work their ass off to get pennies for each item they sell. If they know their product is valuable or popular to the customers, raise the price just a little. Let's say they raise it by 20% and lose 20% of their customer, guess what? They still make the same amount of money but now they work less. And if their product is in demand and they don't lose 20% of the customers, then they make 20% more each year. I also know the other problem is that competition can be tough there as someone who sees you being successful will try to set up a shop next to you selling the same thing. I just don't get that mentality. A whole row of restaurants selling the same dish....do something different and unique to set you apart.
I love your video, much respect for you. Anyone who loved Anthony Bourdain is a friend of mine!!
Appreciate the comment. He was a true legend
that is one thing I agree, the people of vietnam is very friendly and accomodating toward tourist. They usually go out of their way to help you. However, there is always that .01% that can often be rude.
“For some reason , Vietnam has alot of French influence “
Colonization and history are shaking their head .
Great job though subbed
Get it !
You gained a new subscriber. What camera did you use? Just curious.
Wow she didn’t try to rip you off. Respect.
If I were ever on death row, my last wish for my final meal would be Bun Bo Hue without a doubt.
You should visit Thien Duong cave, one of the most beautiful caves in the world. It is located in Quang Binh province. In addition, Quang Binh has more than 300 other very interesting caves
Would love to!! Sounds really cool
Bun Bo Hue is a versatile dish and is a little different from region to region. From light broth to very savory, depends on the chef.
Great video. I just came back from vacation in VN and one of the things I noticed were how law-abidding the locals were- the majority of the people wore their masks, even if they were outside without others nearby. If you see people staring, it may be because you don't have your mask on. Just some food for thought for doing what the locals do
Vietnam was controlled by France from 1877 until the start of WW2 where japan took over but the influence may have stayed from that time period.
"The lime in there is just unbelievable." What? What? Na man I'm just messing with ya, cool vid, nice tribute to the greatest traveler of all time. He lives on in our own personal travels, thank you for sharing this!
HELLO
WELCOME TO VIETNAM
HAVE A HAPPY AND HEALTHY TRIP
LOVE YOU😘🥰
I cannot believe how cheap everything is!!! That's crazy!! That seabass looked fantabulous and I'm not even a huge fan of fish. Curious which sauce was your favorite?
It’s crazy how cheap it is!! The passion fruit sauce was 🔥🔥
VN not cheap . You don’t known
@@chris-yh9yj lol well he was there and he told us the prices of everything. The one meal he had which came with multiple dishes was only equivalent to 2 US dollars. If you got something like that in the US..it would cost about 40 US dollars. From everything he said he got..not just food..it was cheap. So yes, he knows. And now so do I cuz I learned from him. May not seem cheap to you but to us Americans, it is way less than we are used to. If you came here..you'd understand.
@@chris-yh9yj Hi! I am Vietnamese. In Vietnam, there are all prices for food to serve from the rich to the poor, usually street vendors or small shops will have affordable prices for 90% of people, while restaurant chains branded will have the same price as developed countries and have a higher standard of service than usual.
VN is one of those places one can really live on the cheap. However as they say, you get what you pay for. Many people still live with bare necessities which is why you see such low prices. But to have a good standard of living there can be extremely expensive. I mean there are uber rich people living there with private jets and all...
I have a thing about wearing hats or caps inside, and you seemed so well mannered.
😁😁😁
Vietnam i love you
I ate at the bun cha restaurant in Hanoi AB took Pres Obama to. It was nice but I think it was chosen for security reasons. There other ones equally good around the old Quarter. I liked the food he recommended in Istanbul and even chanced on the crazy funny taxi driver he used. Will miss him.
You are spot on on the security aspect. I am a Hanoian and I actually dont go to Obama's Bun cha to have its best version. There a few places which make it better, all around the Old Quarter of Hanoi.
Never been back, but I heard my late father's house in middle of Saigon got split in half and owned by 2 different families. Oh well tis life. I can eat them noodle soup daily. Glad you enjoy.
Jordan, very cool thanks for sharing your experience, I actually been capital city, cheers
Thank you 🙏🏽
I am Vietnamese... Welcome to Việt Nam...
Thanks for watching 🇻🇳
welcome to Vietnam wish you a pleasant trip 😄👍
I have subscribed to your channel. you do very well. Sai Gon city will be great if you go there, Vung Tau too.
Thank you so much! Means a lot 😀
If that delicious meal was 2$ I’d be giving her a 20 dollar tip.
taste many noodle soups in my life. the viet pho is superior to the rest. chewy noodles, hearty aromatic broth, and the combination of beef parts is phenomenal. you have to order the viet ice coffee also.
“For some reason Vietnam has a French influence…”
😂🤣
Hue out of all places bro . Love it man .
Bún bò is rated as number one noodle in the world. Anthony Bourdaine has good taste.
Blood jello (coagulated blood) is soo good.. should have tried it
Two thing Anthony knew how to do party hard and eat well. RIP brother
Ahh great video it’s great to travel but I have to wait my approved days to go on vacation 😞
Come on vacation days.. hurry up 😂
Người nước ngoài họ không biết nhiều về Việt Nam . Cảm ơn bạn đến với VN nếu bạn quy đổi giá hàng hoá đôla càng hấp dẫn giá rẻ so với thế giới vdeo hay hơn nhiều.
Welcome back Vietnam 🎉🍾
Huế là quê hương của tôi. chúc bạn trải nghiệm vui vẻ
The French influence is due to several decades of French colonization. Awesome video and great on you for traveling to parts of Vietnam that aren’t as popular!
I highly doubt Anthony B had tried enough foods in whole Vietnam to make his judgement.
Such a shame you couldn't go into the Ancient City. I had a lot of fun running around there exploring
Friendly people 😀
The best people ❤️🇻🇳
Thanks for sharing
Have fun brother. 👌👌👌
"For some reason Vietnam has a very French influence.".. Reason: colonization LOL.. Great video, looking to start traveling again this year, Vietnam is on the radar for sure.
FYI: In 1858 the French came to Vietnam. In 1893 the French incorporated Vietnam into French Indochina. France continued to rule until it was defeated by communist forces led by Ho Chi Minh in 1954. That's the reason for the French influence in Vietnam.
Cảm ơn bạn đã đến VN và trải nghiệm chúc bạn mọi điều tốt đẹp
Fun video, but Bro, Vietnam was a french colony for many decades. Fortunately the only cultural remains are reflected in the food. thus, good coffee, great bread, and amazing deserts.
Yeah I figured this out partway through my trip. Very good food
and in architecture
Great sharing 👍👍👍👍 interesting video. Ciao from Italy 🇮🇹
