The second food vlog on my channel, hope you like these ones! I surely like filming it a lot 😊 The first one was from Thailand (ruclips.net/video/SCHHI0rn6B4/видео.html) and I'll keep filming this kind of episodes from some of the countries on my way. I'll appreciate any feedback and suggestions for this series. Thank you!
The Pho and the Bahn Mi look so incredible! I wonder if the spice Cory is trying to pinpoint in the Pho is star anise? It's commonly used in Pho though.. so..? 🤔 GREAT to see you home again and making videos! 🤗 Yay!!
I love your content, Niki! This "slow" way of filming and showing life one piece at a time is really wholesome. It saddens me to see RUclipsrs caught up in the rat race to produce, and become disillusioned with it. I sincerely hope your channel continues to thrive the way that you do things, because your videos are relaxing and refreshing. Keep it up, and looking forward to the next video - at your pace!
Thank you Niki, l think l could survive there being a vegetarian. The scenery is beautiful and the restaurants are cozy and inviting. I’m not so sure about the humid hot weather!😥and the hot and spicy food.🥵
@@fayepotts3279 You surely can survive in Vietnam (and other countries around) being a vegetarian! The spice food wouldn't be an issue too, usually vegetarian meals are more moderate with spices. The humid hot weather is much of a bigger deal! Dalat ins't like that, but most of Vietnam is actually hot. You can try visiting in "colder" time on the year, somewhat around December to February.
I absolutely love Vietnamese cuisine. There is a large Vietnamese population in Louisiana where I use to live and I miss it so much. Glad to see you doing well
Niki -- thanks for the food tour. You can tell your Canadian friend that i believe his spice is star-anise... fairly typical Pho flavoring and has a distinctive aroma.
Thanks so much for showing bun cha Ha Noi. It's one of my favourite meals. We have a sizeable Vietnamese population in Portland Oregon and many restaurants. I can find the beef stew but it is always thicker than what you showed us. I am on the hunt for a really good yu tiao. I have to compliment you on your English fluency which is much improved. I imagine it helps to have English-speaking roommates! You look happy and healthy. I'm glad you're enjoying life in a beautiful part of the world.
Thank you! Bun Cha Hanoi is one of my fav meals too, and I haven't seen that before visiting Vietnam! There are lots of Vietnamese restaurants in Russia (run by Vietnamese) but Bun Cha Hanoi isn't on their menu
The garnish/seasoning vegetable you didn't know the name of is Basil. In Europe and the US we generally use sweet Basil, but Asian or Thai Basil looks much the same but has a more peppery flavor with a hint of mint-ness.
Another excellent video! I enjoyed learning about the different Vietnamese Cuisine. They all looked delicious! Beef Stew looked good to me! I also enjoyed learning about the different coffee's as well! Seems to me you have found your comfort zone living in Dalat. Seeing you at your home there sitting outside surrounded by the beautiful, peaceful scenery....very nice! Enjoyed watching as I always do! Thank you so much! Looking forward to your next video!❤❤❤😊
Back in the early 70's I worked with alot of Vietnamese women and they bought food to work and shared with us it was so good I loved there spring rolls nothing like stores sold, plus there noodles! I miss that.
The green leafy herb looks like basil to me, specifically Thai basil. The purplish herb looks like perilla used a lot in Korean food. Dalat is lovely. Traveling vicariously through your channel is so entertaining!
I'm so happy to see you in Vietnam. Thank you for sharing your experience in Dalat! 🙏🥣 Also, the delicious herb should be lá tía tô or Vietnamese perilla leaves. Yum. 🤤
In New Orleans, we have a sizable Vietnamese immigrant population. The Vietnamese population here runs restaurants that serve surprisingly authentic food, and this has worked pretty well for us. The "po boy" and the bánh mì use the same suppliers for their "French bread," as we call it. We have the same history of French colonization and the same love of spicy food.
We also have Vietnamese immigrants in Russia, specifically in Moscow and St Petersburg. They run Vietnamese style restaurants but oftentimes they modify the meals making it more suitable for the Russian taste. Less spicy and overall slightly less flavourful
The dark sauce at phở places is similar to a Chinese hoisin sauce (if not just hoisin) and the most prominent spices in phở are usually anise and cinnamon. Some places spice very lightly while others go pretty strong. I prefer stronger, but light is fine too. And I LOVE Thai basil (though sometimes also called Vietnamese basil in Vietnamese places). I also love getting Vietnamese vermicelli noodle (bun). It’s amazing how such a pungent thing as fish sauce can be amazing when sweetened.
all of these foods are already in the west there’s a huge Vietnamese foreign population in America Canada Australia there’s also smaller Vietnamese populations in Poland slavokia,Germany, Czech Republic
If you're that concerned about cals in syrniki (made of soft cheese) imagine how much sugar is in that condensed milk in coffee, "candy" 6:10, bubble tea, fruit juice and a lot more things (that includes соус too).
Hey Niki, i havent been on your channel for awhile ! Happy to see you and love your new look 👀 Suits you awesome 😎 I’m going to try to make the vegan version of thats special coffee at home ! Looks yummie 👀 😋Thanks for sharing 🙏🏽❤️
I think the green and purple leaf is shiso. Perilla is the Latin name but I don't think I've ever heard it referred to in English by anything but the Japanese name.
Good to see you enjoying life in Vietnam once again. The food you ate looked very healthy. I once had lunch at a Buddhist monastery which was an enjoyable experience. Were there any Halloween celebrations in your part of Vietnam? Looking forward to your next video.
I've spent Halloween in a few countries across Asia. There isn't any trick-or-treating but young people oftentimes get dressed and go party at bars and clubs
Kinda sad that you didn’t feature Bánh Căn or Mì Quảng in Da Lat city. There’s a huge population of people from Quang Nam ( where Mi Quang comes from), so it should be pretty authentic. Banh Can vendor can be found everywhere too, I think you should give it a try. Also Nem Nuong Da Lat, Lau Ga La E and Lau Bo are some famous Da Lat dishes you should check out sometimes. Cheer!!
Thank you for your recommendations! If you have a specific place on your mind, please share with me too. I'll be back to Dalat and explore more of Vietnamese food in December/January
@ Im kinda guy that swing it when it comes to picking restaurants 😅. The best Banh Can and Mi Quang place I found were from walking in a random busy place. Can only recommend Nem Nuong Ba Hung, popular place on social media that lives up to its reputation.
niiki is there nice restaurants for lunch and dinner with ocean views / patios..trying to talk my wife into going for a month,,what is tiger beer like compared to coors lt
First place that comes to my mind when I hear restaurants with oceans views, that's Bali. Then Thailand. I've been to a few places in Vietnam with the sea view (Nha Trang, Da Nang, small village of Mui Ne) and that was nice.
@ what do you pack when you travel from Thailand to Vietnam to Myanmar and back-and-forth? Do you travel light? I never see you with luggage. Do you bring shoes or just sneakers and sandals, etc. if you go away for a month, do you pack like six shirts or more, etc. Thanks buddy! Good job we love your videos.
@@user-JamesBond Nice, that's very detailed questions that are easy to answer for me. Someday I'll record a video about it. I usually travel light, keeping my main luggage (two pieces, 40KG+ total) at the place where I base at the moment (or at friends' places). Here's what I pack for shorter trips, 1-2 weeks. For longer trips I just get an additional set of clothes and probably one more pair of shoes. My clothes essentials: two t-shirts, light pants and shorts, 2-3 pairs of socks and undies (check out Uniqlo's underwear (Airism? can't remember how they call it), that's super light and comfortable), one very light summer sports coat OR warm shirt in case I need it. One pair of sport shoes. If I need anything else, I buy it. It's super cheap in Asia, and second-hand stores are real good here too which are ideas for getting temporary clothes in case I need it. My other essentials: Sunscreen (you should have one). Moisturiser. Toothbrush and toothpaste. Shampoo and body wash in small bottles. A few other little self-care things. Laptop, DJI camera, a few other little tech things.
@ Thank you. 40kg. is not light but I can understand how easy it is to get there. I can see that sandals are probably worn 75% of the time especially in Thailand where you have to remove shoes all the time going in a house. Packing clothes is important and forgetting stuff is a pain in the head. Anyway, you are officially a “digital nomad”. 18 months ago escaping the mobilization but now a digital nomad like me. I’m glad you get to find inexpensive places to travel unlike Singapore. Try the Philippines 🇵🇭. Congratulations on your success and keep up the good work. Thank you 🙏
Theres nothing better than condensed milk in coffee. Especially cold coffee from a traditional filter with French Bahn Mi style for breakfast. Sometimes wonder what food would be like without annoying western interventions.
Do you have any problems with your tummy when eating out? Do you have to boil the water and cool it down before rinsing vegetables, brushing teeth, etc.
No issues with that for me. I never drink tap water but it's good enough for rinsing things and for brushing teeth and face. What I personally do (and what people usually don't) is I use bottled water for my tea and coffee and soups, but it's just a personal preference.
Educational video. Maybe describe the taste a little more, like sour, sweet, hot. Strong or mild. Also you pronounce the vowel in the word sauce wrong. It's pronounced like hot or fox, or like faucet, instead of like house.
I live next to a Vietnamese take out restaurant. It’s awful. It’s so irresistible. To go past it and not take some delicious food home is almost impossible.
They are Gỏi cuốn - the literal translation is something close to "salad rolls" so whether you call them "summer rolls" or "fresh spring rolls", neither name is any more accurate/inaccurate than the other.
Vietnamese have breakfast as their biggest meal, and a light dinner. Hence they are skinny. A big contrast to how they do things in the west. You have a big meal before u go to bed hence u gain all the weight
Dear Niki, I am writing to tell you that the vile orange creature has won our election in the US. Half our country is devastated. We have been warned by elon musk that we are going to feel pain which is terrifying. This does not bode well for Ukraine. I will watch your video tomorrow as I am too shocked to do so now. I cannot believe we are going to have to endure 4 years more of this. I wanted to let you know about this utterly sad and desperate situation here in the States. Take care of yourself, ilona and joshua💙

i like how vietnam cuisine has many variety of veggies infused into the dish as important part of it.
There's nothing better than a Vietnamese salad roll with pate, pork and chili...and the bread was a gift from the French.
I love Vietnamese food, and it's one of the few countries where I can eat out without feeling heaviness. The food is quite healthy here.
Thank you Niki, l think l could survive there being a vegetarian.

It's more likely perilla what I was talking about, the leaves that's green on one side and purple on another. Basil is also there!
Glad to see you back. I was a little worried not hearing from you.
“The Ashtray of Life” I can’t get over the name, location and appearance of this café. Amazing!
That place is amazing!

Perilla leaves, yeah! I keep forgetting its name
Nice a new video from Niki! Great video about Vietnamese food.for me i like banh mi with shaomai with coffee combo in the morning to start the day.
welcome back Niki and for sharing this nice vlog episode
That iced coffee cup is so pretty!!!

The Vietnam food looks nam nam 😍 🍜
Now I need a trip to my favorite Vietnamese restaurant…
Your videos are always so interesting, thank you 🤗
Really stepped up your video quality! I'm a big fan of broken rice dishes.

Pho bo is the best. Have it once a week and it is so easy to make. 😋

The purple leaves are basil
Probably perilla leaves
Basil green leaves or others are purplish leaves. A spice plant
Nice haircut. Looks good.
Good to see you enjoying life in Vietnam once again. The food you ate looked very healthy.

You seem very happy and content in Dalat. I’m wondering if I’d be able to find vegan dishes there?
Salt Coffee?
But I don't know, man. I feel like I have seen only three food items: bread, Soup, and garnish.
Still seems to be at the tourist level 😅

@ Thanks! I use bottled water for my tea and coffee, and I live in England! It just tastes better.
delivery food could never compare with eating at a restaurant, cause after transport, it would be cooler and as not as delicious as at the restaurant.
What's the tipping culture in Vietnam?
There's no tipping culture in Vietnam
