With supermarket like these, I would stop going to the wet markets where prices are often unpredictable. And oh man, I love the fish skin with salted eggs as well. Miam!
Hey! Long time no see! Good to hear from you. I agree :) this supermarket is better than many supermarkets in Europe. I was really happy when I found it lol. Cool that you like that too!
Malaysia and Singapore durian are definitely better than Vietnam/Thailand. I believe Vietnam has started making its musang king durian. I wonder how it taste like.
0:53 If you're going to give prices in USD. You can get a chocolate bar for like $4 in the US. But a bowl of pho in the US will cost you about $9. While a bowl of pho will cost you around 30k. So, no, a chocolate bar isn't a good deal. 1:58 99k for that tiny amount of food? You can buy an all-you-can-eat sushi/bbq/and/or seafood buffet for 249-399k. Not a good deal. Plus, shrimp is really cheap (though I like it). I don't think this guy knows what a good deal is. Either he has so much money he doesn't care. Or he is ignorant, and don't know any better. Or he mostly lies, because he makes these videos for those from N. America and Europe, because they think all these prices he's giving are great. 2:51 Apples 69k/kg? Well, the bit you showed in that hypermart avg'd about 100k/kg. That's more expensive than chicken, and more expensive than some pork. Pork belly is around 160k/kg.... What world does this guy live in? 5:31 At WinMart and Co-Op mart you can open up pre-packaged bags and put the amount you want into a different bag. Plus, you can go to any wet/open-air market and buy fruits and vegetables as you see fit. So, I don't know why he's bothering to comment on things comming in bags. But, I guess he expects you to be ignorant.
Thanks for sharing your perspective 0:53 - 1$ for a chocolate bar like that is cheap, imported from south Korea and of pretty good quality as well. Also your comparison with prices of pho isn't relevant to the chocolate bar. The chocolate itself is a good deal regardless of location. 1:58. In my world 99K for this is not expensive for that meal even with Vietnamese standards. Also it's made in a big scale supermarket, not a shack on the street. From an international perspective, it's a really good deal. I see loads of locals buying this , and other pre-made meals at e-mart, and I'm there 2-3 times per week. What's your point anyway? That you can find some cheap meals on the street in vn? We all know that and I speak the language fluently and I can guarantee you I'm less ignorant than you about Vietnam in general. Obviously I don't lie, try to find a vlogger making vids about Vietnam who's more authentic and less fake, you wouldn't find many. I'd know where to go if I want a small and cheap portion somewhere but in reality it's not as cheap as people think in Saigon, especially for the quality and amount you get when comparing to nearby countries. 2:51. Almost always they have deals of Imported apples from South Africa, 69K/kg. That's a good deal if you ask me. You can probably find apples imported from China cheaper than that if you dare to eat it. It's not just all about getting the lowest price. We can disagree but I rather pay 69K /kg for apples from SA than let's say 45K/kg from China. It doesn't mean in my opinion that buying Chinese apples is a better deal. 5:31 yeah it'd be better if you could just put the carrots by yourself in a plastic bag but at least I can do that with many other fruits and vegetables there. Of course a local market would be cheaper especially the vegetables.

Great video. But pity you didn't told something about where it's located. Any map?
Sorry about that I forgot. I'll add the Google maps link in the description of the video as well as here. maps.app.goo.gl/pQqCryWgqAf5yyDz6
Thank you very much... And i like your videos very much!!!👍
Malaysia and Singapore durian are definitely better than Vietnam/Thailand. I believe Vietnam has started making its musang king durian. I wonder how it taste like.
I tried the musang king in Malaysia and it was absolutely amazing. The durian here is okay but not as good as Malaysia
Very helpful. Thanks for sharing, August
I don't think Singapore can afford to allocate lands for agriculture.
Love it❤
Wah ekhane o jete hbe
awesome supermarket
Very informative video Super Market is Much much better than Pakistan.
Love from Karachi Pakistan
Thanks I would love to visit Pakistan one day
I'm from Canada and if vietnam wasn't so hot I would probably move to vietnam. Food looks better and cheaper in vietnam.
Hanoi can be a bit chilly for 2-3 months compared to Saigon.
And there is no oatmeals and bulgur, am I right?
I saw oatmeal but bulgur I'm not so sure about
