- Welcome to our vibrant family adventure in CRAZY Saigon, also known as Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam - a city where tradition and innovation go hand in hand! 🎥💥🇻🇳
Join us in this video as we explore the bustling cityscapes of Saigon with our little travel buddies ( the two gremlins AKA children haha). It's our family's first impression of Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City), and we're thrilled to share our journey with you!
Taking the kids to Saigon has opened up a world of exciting, enriching experiences. Together, we'll navigate the dynamic street markets, savour the city's delicious street food, and feel the genuine warmth of the locals, showing that Vietnam is not just for the lone backpacker but also for the adventurous family.
Rather than focusing on the most popular tourist spots, we've chosen to experience Saigon through the eyes of its residents. We'll dive into the everyday life of the city, visiting bustling shopping centres, taking in the sights and sounds of the local markets, and even learning a Vietnamese phrase or two!
You won't want to miss our exploration of the city's street food scene - it's a culinary adventure that's captivated our taste buds and hearts. From Pho stalls tucked away in a bustling market to the mouth-watering Banh Mi served in quaint street-side eateries, Saigon has introduced us to flavors we've never dreamed of!
But this isn't just about food and shopping - it's about stepping out of our comfort zone and embracing the vibrancy and vitality of Saigon. We believe that the best way to learn about a place is to walk its streets, talk to its people, and taste its food. So come along as we show our kids - and you - the world beyond the guidebooks.

Discover Saigon with us - it's a family affair! Dive in and enjoy the ride!
We love Vietnam, we'll be back next month. Can't wait to explore, meet the friendly people, enjoy the white sand beaches and eat, eat, and eat.
Yes to all of that ! We have only been in Ho Chi Minh so far, when we come back we are going to go up north 🇻🇳❤️ the food is just 🤤🤤🤤
Yes Vietnam is an incredible country and cant wait yo come back 2024 ❤
We love Vietnam and are so excited to explore the rest of the country!!
@Rikkijade my next trip is Ho Chi Minh Hanoi Da Nang and Hoi An 😄 obviously with trips around the surrounding areas.
@@nige13 Sounds amazing, it will be great no doubt!
Rau Muong is a water spinach dish you might enjoy, but overall, a lot of restaurants can accommodate if you ask for "chay" versions. Max McFarlin is a popular RUclipsr and he just posted an "All You Can Eat VEGETARIAN Buffet" place in Saigon for 30k. Happy Travels!
Oh im gonna go watch that video now haha thank you 😊 x
beautiful family with 2 gorgeous kids ❤❤❤
You are so kind
We have a huge number of vegetarians in Vietnam so there should be many options for your family. There are restaurants that only serve vegetarian food, and most of the restaurant have vegetarian options if you ask. The vegetarian food is call "Chay" in Vietnam. Your family is so cute and your kids are adorable.
We have noticed such a great variety of vegetarian meals, so epic 😊 thank you, I’m biased, they are very cute
Chúc gia đình bạn có chuyến đi du lịch việt nam vui vẻ
Cảm ơn
Enjoy your stay in Vietnam !!
We love it here 💕🇻🇳
Thanks for having good point of view about this city
It’s a great city 🇻🇳💕
Thank you guys come to our country.We love you guys.I hope that you will have a great the trip.The our country has a lot of diverse food,you can try it.I believe that you will like it!
Thank you! 😃 We love it here! SO much delicious food
You can order "Pho" without beef. The flavor is still pretty good. I once saw a vlogger having it.
HCM city is more about economy with hustle and bustle.
If you love nature, want more greens and beaches, Da Dang may fit you.
We did try a couple of vegetarian ones they were delicious 🤤
2 bạn có 2 người con nhìn rất tuyệt vời, xinh gái và rất đẹp
Thanks for your coming my country
Đẹp lắm bạn! 💖🌹👍
A lot of Westerners aren't familiar with Vietnamese food and therefore have problems finding them, much less how to eat the meals properly. Please do a food tour. I always recommend food tours for those unfamiliar as all the people that go on them love them and learn more about the food. If you're in a big city like HCMC, do several food tours with different companies to get an idea of what they've got to offer. Just ask the guides to cater to the types of food you prefer.
Such great advice ! We have done one and so grateful that we did
Welcome and hope you like Vietnam. I am Vietnamese
Thank you, we love Vietnam!
Great video!, thanks for sharing
Thank you 🙏 make sure you subscribe for next weeks video 💕
If you like nature, you have to head north. Central Vietnam has the beaches and as you head further north, you'll get the more majestic landscape. If you head north, check out videos from these youtubers: "Sammy and Tommy" (their videos were so good, even Sonny from the Best Ever Food Review Show" left them a compliment), Jaychel (they put everything in one great video), "Adventures of A+K", "Shot in the Dark Travel", "TheDailyPackers", etc. "Flora and Note" and "2Passports 1Dream" did videos in different parts of Vietnam last year. I think your family would love Hoi An and Da Nang if you prefer the beach. Both those cities have great food ("Steph and Pete" did a great food tour in Hoi An). Don't forget to visit Da Lat as there's a ton of stuff to do there. Most western vloggers seem to love Hanoi vs HCMC due to it's more traditional culture vs the fast-paced stuff in HCMC.
I love all of those youtubers
Welcome to Việt Nam 😁👍
Actually the rents in district 1 is expensive that's why it drives up all prices ...if you go to giant Japanese Aeon shoppings malls in Binh Tan and Tan Phu districts and other large shopping malls in other districts you can get cheap food made fresh in the groceries, they even slash off price 50% in the end of the day. Look for "Chay" restaurants they're vegetarian places, but you can request chay at any restaurants since they cater to Buddhist customers too .
Yes ! Thank you for this 💕 next time we are in Saigon we are going to stay in the outer districts. Nate’s first Vietnamese word he learnt was Chay haha has helped but I think we say it wrong sometimes 🤣
@Michael-ur3on we have noticed some things are super cheap and others things aren’t !!! Always have my calculator out haha
BEST WISHES TO YOUR FAMILY ! ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you !!!
you should try Bun bo, its beef noodle soup :)
Thank you ! It’s on my list !!
Chào mừng đã đến Việt Nam, video với những hình ảnh gần gũi rất đẹp, bé đáng yêu và dễ thương nhất nè, gia đình gặp nhiều may mắn, nhiều niềm vui hạnh phúc và bình an❤❤💕💕🥰🥰
Banh mi with roast pork and coconut coffee should be next 😀
Sounds delicious 🤤 will add it to my list
We can get the bike tuck in the corner behind 3 rolls very fast for you, I use to watch people's bikes living in Asia
Welcome to my homecity 😊
Thank you! 😃
You got that right lady. By just the name of the bakery, Hokkaido is the second largest main island of Japan. So I think that bakery must be originated from Japan.
Well there you go ! Thanks for that piece of info 💕❤️ Japan is on the list of countries to travel to
Hi,
Since you’re Aussie, you should visit Cabramatta in Sydney. There, you can try all kinds of Vietnamese dishes. It’s just that food generally is pretty pricey in Australia. I’ve been there many times so I’m well aware of that. I’m not a vegan so I can’t help you man. However, for the woman and the kids, here’s the list.
1 Phở, 2 bún bò Huế, 3 bún riêu ốc, 4 bún thang, 5 bún chả giò thịt nướng, 6 bún mắm, 7 bún chả, 8 mì quảng, 9 cơm tấm bì chả sườn nướng, 10 bánh cuốn.
Those are the main courses. Item 6 might be too strong for you because the broth is cooked from the fermented fish. However, it’s really tasty if you can handle the …smell and its strong flavor.
If you have a chance to visit Hà Nội, try 2 specialty.
1 Chả rươi, basically it’s sea worm fried cake, if it’s in the season. Ask the locals for more info.
2 Chả cá lã vọng. Again, ask the locals to find the right place.
Also try item 1 and 7 in Hà Nội too because Hà Nội was the birthplace of them. Besides, two U.S. presidents had phở and bún chả in Hà Nội so you should too.
For sweets, try different types of chè, sweet soup.
Eat different kinds of cakes as well especially chuối bọc nếp nướng (grilled ice cream banana wrapped with sticky rice and coconut milk).
I think that’s long enough.
Have a great trip. Stay safe and healthy.
Thank you for sharing your experience in Vietnam with us.
Yes ! I was born in standup and the first time I ever ate Vietnamese food was in Cabramatta . I remember being blown away with how delicious it was and I couldn’t believe I hadn’t had it sooner 💕💕thank you so much for your list
@@Rikkijade
No problem, the pleasure is mine. One more thing, don’t forget the tropical fruits! You can eat them fresh or in the form of smoothies. I heard that it’s really cheap in VN.
@@ando9760 yeah we have been having so much dragon fruit, bananas and they have a little plum here that everyone seems to eat! So fresh and so cheap 🤤☺️
For the fruit, try these, if they are in season. Ask the locals to find out.
Durian and jack fruit if you’re ok with the …smell 🤷♂️. Soursop (mãng cầu chua, especially smoothie), cherimoya, wax apple, mango, coconut juice, sugar cane juice, mangosteen, longan, lychee, rambutan, guava ice cream banana … basically, ask the locals for any type of fruits that is regionally grown and available and …cheap because imported fruits are very expensive due to imported duty. Enjoy my friends.
I love Australia 🇦🇺
Chúc mừng gia đình bạn đã đến việt nam thank you
Cảm ơn
I'm Vietnamese but I don't live there and I'm not vegetarian but I just watched 1 of Max Mcfarlin recent video where u can eat at a vegetarian buffet for only 35k Vnd, cheers
Oh wow thats so cheap!!
Lovely family
Thank you 😊
I’ve heard that there are many vegetarian buffet places outside of district 1.
We have found a few in district 2 :)
New sub from Vietnam❤❤
Welcome!!
chào mừng bạn đã đến Việt nam
Looking for"Cơm chay" or "Nhà hàng chay" will help you. For noodle you say "phở chay". Vegetarians will be respected, just ask for vegetarian dishes when you go to any restaurant. If they can do it, they will cook a vegetarian dish for you.
Thank you 🙏 everyone has been so amazing here and they often add in egg for us :)
Pho, bún bō huê', bún cha hà nôi, bánh xèo, coconut coffee, condensed milk ice coffee, bánh cuôn', ... but these are not vegetarian.
I’ve tried some of these but still need to get to the rest !!!!
Wellcome to việt nam
Bạn có biết tiếng việt ko.. Nếu biết có thể chạy phụ đề để người xem tăng tương tác và lượng theo dõi,,
If you have a little bit of knowledge about clothes and their materials, you can get the best for the reasonable prices. However, Viet Nam today is the main supplied source of clothes for Europe. There are another things, Vietnam is the number 1 for vegetarian meals, please ask the local people for their locations. Vung Tau is good for Australians . Because 55 years ago, the Australian army bases were set up there.
Some of the clothes we have found have been such amazing quality !! I got some shirts yesterday at the little market I made a short about ! We travel with literally two bags though so I can’t go crazy haha
The military history is so amazing, sad and interesting all at the same time ! Being ex military myself both Nathaniel and I are super interested in it
@@RikkijadeIf you have a little bit of time, do not to go Ben Thanh market, because of their ridiculous prices . Please, go to the local traditional market for example, The China Town in Cho Lon , only 10 minutes drive from the Ben Thanh market by scooter. Viet Nam is heaven for vegetarian people. Because they have a lot of choices for foods and vegetables. Try to go to the tropical food plantation in the south along the Mekong River. You only pay for their entry fees, you can have all day stay there eating the tropical foods.
Try This Vegan Restaurant name is Com chay Ngoc Y 117 Dien Bien Phu Binh Thanh HCM City VN good review and local recommend
I’ll order some today !
have you lived here for 3 months now?
^_^ new visa with 3 months and you can extend it.
We arrived before that visa , so when we come back we will get the longer visa 😊
@@Rikkijade okay nice
Ho-kai-dough
Bạn ăn bánh mì ở shop Huỳnh Hoa mới ngon, một số quầy basn bánh mì ven đường người ta làm không ngon đâu
Thank you
Bạn nói tiếng việt cho ai nge?
@@nguyenvinh6340 người ta sẽ có cách để hiểu, b ko phải no ;))))
@@duytu2712 no no
It's hard to travel with children. I admire you for that. You are vegetarian, you should try to visit VN temple to try to vegetarian food there. There are always vegetarian versions of meat dishes. Bun Cha Gio chay is one. You need to add the word "chay" when you search for the food you want. "Chay" is vegetarian. For example, if you want Com tam (broken), you can google Com Tam Chay. it should give you couple places to eat
It comes with its challenges with the kids! But at the end of the day it so so worth it!
The most bonkers part is the Hokkaido treats you guys had in the beginning would’ve cost an arm and a leg in the states over here. ⚰️⚰️⚰️
Wait …. Hokkaido …. You don’t know where Hokkaido is ? You are in vietnam and you order Japanese sweets ? Boooooooooo without even know what you order … so what’s the point of this video ? Enjoy Saigon
I don't know every place in the world :) hence why I am traveling and learning. Lots of delicious food here in Saigon is influenced from all around the world. I'm open to experiences regardless of where we are in the world :) They were absolutely delicious, you should try them
22:40 She said I can NOT say anything *NEGATIVE* about HCM city do you know that it is a "Kom,-mu,-nist" city, do you want me to start the list of negativity
1. Drainage infrastructure are horrible
2. If you got sick and don't have have money right up front, you can definitely die at the front door of the hospital
3. There's no food PROGRAM or anything to help the hungry children
4. School tuition starts from Kingter garden (Remember under the DEMOCRACY of South vietnam, school tuition didn't exist over 60 year ago)
5. AVERAGE worker in Vietnam earns about 10$ a day, that is NOT enough to buy a roasted duck which cost about ~12$/duck
6. I can make a 50 more item if you like, this is the MOST basic stuff right. I'm not even comparing with any other nations.
Your definitely not wrong , I can only imagine the parts of the society that need to be worked on. Like any country, there are always things that need to be changed. I’m looking at it from a tourist perspective though 💕 but I agree with you, we have seen some of the poverty and lack of support for certain people. We learnt that the schooling system can cost an entire adults wage if not both, hence why multiple incomes are needed in households. So your right, however, there are so many beautiful things about Saigon and the country that we have seen as well 💕
I love your input and back what you are saying ☺️ though just remember this was filmed with a certain intention and perspective. Sending you love ❤️
🥰😋👍
Hi,
I totally agree with you, but let’s just stop here for the safety of their family while traveling in VN.
Hi, I totally don't agree with you. Safety of their family, really? VN government only take advantage of their own people, they would NEVER *DARE* to bother any native Westerner, especially US citizen (LMAO for that).
What does that consider when you only pick on your own family, *co,-ward,-ly* 🤣
Like I said let’s end it here because you don’t know anything about communist.
Beautiful place . Love ur video
It is lovely here 💕 thank you 🙏
LOVE TO VIỆT NAM ❤❤❤❤❤
