Vietnamese and Thai people have such sophisticated palates Gary. Fairplay for your descriptions, brilliant. I do love the fresh herbs 🌿 they serve with most dishes. Love it.
The cold cut you were eating with Banh Cuon is actually not Cha Lua , but Cha Quê ( with cinnamon grilled on charcoal) . Cha Lua or Gio Lua is the white one wrapped in banana leaves and boiled in water . There are also Cha Chiên which is deep fried in vegetable oil and Cha Com ( with young rice grain ) . One more famous breakfast food in Hanoi you should try is Xoi ( sticky rice ) on Nguyên Huu Huân str. in the Old Quarter . You can eat that rice with Cha Quê or Cha Chiên , Thit Kho ( caramelized pork ) , Xia Siu , Ruoc ( dry pork floss ) , Lap Xuong ( Chinese sausage ) , Mung Bean paste and fried shallots . Bon Appétit mon ami !
I think auntie just told me Cha Lua so not to confuse me. She Kew I was struggling with my pronunciation 😂 I will definitely stick it on the list for next time, thanks for the recommendation
@@theroamingcook You are welcome ! Yeah I guess she just said Cha Lua to make it easy for you to retain the name , without entering into details because Cha Lua is the plain original Cha .The Cha that has a brown/yellow colour on top is either grilled or deep fried . Since you said there was cinnamon in it , so it was definitely Cha Quê . Cha Lua as I said is the white one wrapped in banana leaves , cooked in water . Lua means Silk in Vietnamese . So Cha Lua or Gio Lua by definition is the white silky , smooth original version of Cha . Have you ever go to a Cha store in Vietnam yet .You would see there all the varieties of Cha : Cha Lua or Gio Lua , Cha Chiên , Cha Quê , Cha Com , Cha Bo ( beef Cha ) , Cha Muc ( squid Cha ) , Cha Thi La ( with dill ) , Gio Bi ( with pork-rind ) , Gio Thu or Gio Xao ( made from pork`s tongue , ears , and nose ), etc... Cha is like Cheese , there are so many sorts of . In order to get the right kind , we have to tell it by the right name . All those explanations are just FYI . Cheers !
You really know how to enjoy VietNamese breakfast ! Yes “ banh cuon nong “ is the most recommendation for breakfast ! It’s also my favorites too !!!👍👌👏❤️
The most standard way to eat "Banh cuon" is to pick up each piece of dipping sauce, then you can feel the rich taste of the sauce as well as the plasticity of "Banh cuon".
Banh cuon is one of my favorite things to eat. I had to make banh cuon and banh xeo growing up, but I always dreaded making banh xeo because to me, it's too much work, but I loved eating banh cuon so much, I didn't mind slaving over the stove for it as much. :) Never had the egg version, so will have to give that a try. I think you should de-stem your herbs, though. The banh mi there does look out of this world! Yum!
I’m terrible at making banh Cuon, I need some tips from you haha! I would usually de stem the herbs but it’s difficult with a camera in the other hand 😂 I need to prepare better
@@theroamingcook Over in the US, we cheat. We cook it on a non-stick pan (do two at a time if you're making a lot so it'd go quicker). And if you're really lazy, they now have those thin rice sheets sold in packages. I think initially those sheets are for something else, maybe for cutting into noodles, but my SIL use those to make quick banh cuon. Easy-peasy and tastes just as good once you get all the herbs and toppings and dip involved.
Wish I could get decent Vietnamese scran in Cardiff. Gonna have to get a trip to Hanoi scheduled in there next time I visit Asia. Are flights from BKK to Vietnam affordable these days?
Looks and sounds (and tastes, I'm sure) great. I would lose the baguette with the banh mi, but might use it for dipping. The chili sauce looks mild, which means that it's hot and more than enough to wake up the taste buds. Those herbs in the first segment were the icing on the cake.
@@theroamingcook Yeah, I'm just not a fan of a lot of bread, unless it's fresh out of the oven. When I eat hot dogs, I toss half of the roll; I just use it to hold the sausage and fixins.
In VN, "bánh mì" just simply means bread, the famous sandwich is called "bánh mì kẹp" (but we just call it bánh mì for the sake of convenience lol😄) so hope you don't feel too much of a surprise when the skillet bread is also called bánh mì :)))
Thanks, I'm still learning about the different ingredients here. Would there be a reason that whenever I asked someone what different sausages were they said cha lua? This happened a few times. I looked this up after I posted the video and everything I could find says cha que is baked?
I don't know much about vietnamese food, it looks a bit like Thai or asian food, but is a bit different, but I am very sure that it tastes very good. the sandwich that Paddie eats also looks good to. that's the french influence in vietnam i think…btw,I'm also late with my comment Gary,I went to Monschau for the weekend .
@@theroamingcook I am waiting for your trip to Penang though I am familiar with the food there. Compare Singapore and Penang, I prefer the food in Penang. A lot of Chinese and Indian noodles are cooked with char coal giving the wok hey effect.
No man, it's completely different than I thought, because Vietnamese cuisine is much better than in China, in Vietnam dishes like Pho, Bun, Banh Cuon and many others must be served with vegetables, but the Chinese don't use vegetables in their street food, that's understandable bro, so don't tell me that Vietnamese cuisine in 3 regions is just as delicious as China, that's completely wrong, Hope you have better ideas 👍
The citrus is kumquat. I was telling some Viets it looked like calamansi, but they said it's kumquat so I didn't believe it as to me, kumquats are oblong in shape and orange in color...but lo and behold, kumquats do come like that.
After researching these as much as possible, I’m 99 percent sure they are calamansi triphash.com/travel-blog/edition-004-fruit-in-vietnam#:~:text=Come%20to%20find%20out%2C%20you,that%20similarity%20(and%20confusion).
went there today. was packed. Unfortunately my banh mi was dry. Im not sure it they forgot the sauce or what. But because these ladies are such hard workers I will give it another shot after I return from Sa Pa .....
First of all ,the green stuff at the start looked like stinging nettles Gary 🙄,I'm joking mate ..Remember my first takeaway (years ago)and i let my Thai ''Friend '' order it for me ..3 bags ..The green stuff (i'd never make it as a food vlogger 🤦♂)Looked like branches off a tree .But how wrong was i .She was smug looking at me enjoying them 🙄😁The Breakfast looked nice and right up my street .Thanks for your time 👍
Hmm, we visited Banh Mi 25 exactly a week ago and got the exact same dishes - for some reason we were only given two baguettes for the banh mi chao :( the pan sauce was way too starchy/goopy and the meats lacked flavour. Banh mi fared slightly better but no sight of that housemade chilli sauce that Paddy spoke about. Some acidity would have helped both dishes a bunch. Rather disappointing given that it was fairly highly-rated on Google.
Interesting. Maybe I got three because I’m fatter than you and he thought I needed filling up? I can see your point about the sauce but how anyone could think the cinnamon sausage lacked flavour blows my mind. The red pork is just red pork, I could take it leave that. Sorry you didn’t have a good experience there!
@@theroamingcook Hi Gary, thanks for your reply! Now that you mention it - yes, the cinnamon sausage was good (perhaps I had been too underwhelmed by the red pork… might have been expecting something more fatty/unctuous like char siu). Yeah hopefully it was a once-off and I’m glad you enjoyed your meal!
haha. I love you Gary but the way you ate it was wrong. That's the way of South VN people eating it, you in North so should try to eat like North people. It's another interesting thing in Vietnamese cuisine, 1 kind of food but different way to eat it to bring different taste and flavour.

Absolutely, they are both amazing. I feel I'm really out of my comfort zone with a lot of Vietnamese dishes as I just haven't eaten it enough
@@theroamingcook you do alright but a good excuse to visit again and try more good food 😉

The Bahn Mi place looked fab especially that fry up 😁
Banh cuon is also 1 of my fav meal. Goes down nice n easy, taste of heaven for real
Yeah it’s good stuff 🇻🇳

We call it banh mi means including meat and everything not just the bread only
@@michaelnguyen5652 if it were what you just said, than it should be "bánh mì kẹp thịt" :)
Cha que (not cha lua) isn't "covered in a skin of cinnamon", it has cinnamon in it and is fried.

it's normal, the south of china was vietnamese.
All of southern China, from the Yangtze River to the sea was of Vietnamese origin.

More confusingly, as I can tell, the Vietnamese word for both kamquat and calamansi is the same?
