00:00I have to say, Hanoi is honestly one of the most special and unique cities in Southeast

00:05Asia, and the food alone is reason enough to visit.

00:09Our second day was literally just eating from morning to night, no regrets whatsoever.

00:15We tried everything from local favourites and street food to this controversial cool

00:20snail noodle, Bun Ok Noi, a dish I bet most tourists have never tried before.

00:37So we are walking right now to our breakfast place and the weather is really nice.

00:44Hanoi's weather is cooling, even though it's sunny right now, but it's still very cooling.

00:49It's around 20 plus degrees Celsius, which is the perfect weather for most people.

01:04At night it can be a bit more cooling.

01:11I see people selling matcha over there, like powdered matcha.

01:27So this is Circle K, it's kind of like our 7-Eleven or Family Mart, you know.

20:21come let's go

20:23so from here this lemon tea place we can see the St. Joseph Cathedral

20:28so majestic and so beautiful

20:32fun fact so this cathedral has lived through a lot of like many many many years

20:38where the French colonization and the American colonization the war and

20:47yeah so many historical events it has lived through

20:53so this such a beautiful place

20:55so this is what we ordered two two special two special lemon tea

21:03and this is made from the young rice that is still green color

21:15let's open it

21:19sticky rice but the rice is the young rice that is still like greenish color

21:26you see they even tie it with the rice

21:30they even tie it with the rice thing

21:32and this is made from the young rice

21:48wow

21:49Wow! How do we eat it?

21:53I need a spoon.

21:54Oh, that's a spoon.

22:04Smells very fresh, very...

22:09Like a sweet, sweet pea kind of smell.

22:13Like really unique.

22:15Let me do a taste test.

22:19I have too many gadgets on me.

22:21Okay, taste test time.

22:24First time taste test.

22:35So, the white color stuff on this is a coconut.

22:41And because the rice is very chewy,

22:49I like this. I like this a lot.

22:53Let's try the legendary lemon tea.

22:57Lemon tea.

23:05This is sweet and refreshing.

23:09It goes very well together.

23:12With this.

23:18So, this is actually glutathione rice.

23:21Young glutathione rice.

23:23Young rice.

23:26Can you try?

23:32So, there are...

23:35I think this is a lotus seed, if I'm not using it.

23:37Lotus?

23:39Yeah, lotus seed.

23:40Yeah.

23:40So, it makes it like very powdery, chewy.

23:45And the flavour is like sweet, refreshing and explosion.

23:52So, the rice is the sticky rice but young.

23:56Okay, the rice is the sticky rice but young.

23:58Oh, but this...

24:00This elephant ear do not eat.

24:03Do not eat this elephant ear.

24:06Good story.

24:07So, when I was 20 plus years old and I came back from the States,

24:11I like to try out new things.

24:12And I actually...

24:14I mean, I like to try different plants and herbs and all those things.

24:16And I actually took a bite of the elephant ear and I almost died

24:21because of the oxalates that are in fact.

24:22So, oxalates are like very sharp crystal-like molecular structure

24:26that if we ingest it, it's gonna cause a lot of inflammation

24:30because of like the crystals, the crystal shape of the oxalate.

24:33And yeah, I couldn't breathe for like quite a long time.

24:37And yeah, I almost died.

24:39So, elephant ear be careful.

24:41So, this lemon tea is refreshing, sweet.

24:47And you can really taste the tea.

24:50Yeah.

24:50This is...

24:51And sugar as well.

24:56So, it's a very...

25:00balanced infusion of both lemon and tea and a little bit of sugar.

25:06It's refreshing.

25:09Easy to drink.

25:11And most importantly, we are facing the very majestic St. Joseph Cathedral.

25:19So, this is a smoke that a lot of people in Hanoi, I see them smoking.

25:26I think it's called the bong.

25:28I'm not so sure what is it called, but yeah.

25:30Thuk lao.

25:31Thuk.

25:33Thuk.

25:34Thuk lao.

25:35Thuk lao.

25:36Thuk lao.

25:37Thuk lao.

25:38Thuk lao.

25:39So, they do one path, but they hide so long.

25:42Yeah.

25:43Thuk lao, one path and you get hide for a very long time.

25:46Yes.

25:48After St. Joseph Cathedral, my girlfriend Kelia told me about this unique and pretty controversial dish,

25:55only found in Hanoi.

25:57Naturally, I couldn't resist.

25:59So, we booked a car and headed straight over.

26:04Bung op ngoi.

26:06Op ngoi.

26:07Ngoi is called like cooling.

26:09So, see.

26:10A little bit of chili oil.

26:12A little bit of chili oil.

26:14Yeah.

30:45Ahh, so good.

30:49Fingers you can go.

31:03Feeling soulful and satisfied, we headed back to our hotel for a quick nap to drop off some souvenirs we

31:09picked up along the way.

31:10After that, the plan for the night? More eating of course.

31:16We headed out to explore some traditional desserts too, so stay tuned.

31:24Okay, we can cross the road right now.

31:26The road is much more empty at this time.

31:29And today is Tuesday.

31:32We are going to Ok Nong Ngahak, which is just over here.

31:37To eat, like, clams.

31:39And I can do the food.

31:41Yeah.

31:43And this part is slightly, uh, slightly outside of the old...

31:51The old...

31:53Old...

31:53Water.

31:54Yeah.

31:56We're having clams right now.

31:58And also fermented pork and some snails at Ok Nong Ngahak.

32:03Ok Nong Ngahak.

32:04Ok.

32:05Let's see.

32:06This is very fresh.

32:08Put some chili sauce over here.

32:17So sweet and so fresh.

32:20It's good stuff.

32:22And this is the fermented pork.

32:23Fried fermented pork.

32:24Mmm.

32:26Let's try it for the first time.

32:30This one.

32:32This one.

32:33Or this.

32:37First taste test.

32:39Fermented pork.

32:51Mmm.

32:56It's extremely tender.

32:59It's extremely tender.

32:59The flavor is, like, first thing.

33:03Especially with the chili sauce.

33:07Let me bite half of it and see, like, what's inside.

33:13Because the flavor is really complex due to the fermentation.

33:27It's very difficult to explain.

33:29The taste.

33:30The texture is really soft.

33:34It's chewy, bouncy at the same time.

33:37Like, you know, a little bit like fish ball.

33:42But the taste is way more complex.

33:48It's like, I can taste the...

33:51It's like, in Chinese we have this thing called nam yu.

33:54So it has that kind of taste as well.

33:59A little bit like our nam yu pai guan.

34:04I like it.

34:05It's really, really good.

34:06Especially with the sauce.

34:11Our snail dish is already here.

34:13As you can see here, Vietnamese really take their sweet food game to the next level.

34:19So this is the sauce for the snail.

34:23Inside there's lime leaves.

34:24There is lemongrass.

34:26There is a little bit of...

34:28I think this is ginger.

34:31Yeah, there's ginger.

34:32There's chili.

34:33And lime.

34:35And fish sauce.

34:38So, it's so complex.

34:40And this is only for the snail.

34:43Yeah.

34:44It's a metal nail.

34:46Yeah.

34:47So...

34:47Oh!

34:47We are using this metal piece to pierce out the snail.

34:50So this is so complex.

34:52And the snail is really hot.

35:06Especially...

35:08It's sweet.

35:10The lime leaf makes it...

35:12Like...

35:12Yeah.

35:15Mmm.

35:16Wow.

35:17So complex.

35:19Especially...

35:19That is sweet.

35:20The lime leaf makes it like...

35:23Which does the taste really stand out?

35:26I like the...

35:27I enjoy.

35:30Yeah.

35:31Okay.

35:32The best part is the head.

35:34But I kinda like the tails.

35:42I took some of the soup.

35:46I see the lady was taking it out so easily.

35:50I don't know why I'm struggling over here.

36:01I feel very bad because I couldn't take out the tail.

36:10I have to eat one with the tail.

36:15Let's...

36:15Let's up our game.

36:19Okay.

36:21I'm gonna...

36:22Turn the other side now.

36:24So I'm gonna...

36:25So right now...

36:27Oh...

36:29Oh...

36:34Ah...

36:35Ah...

36:36Ah...

36:37Ah...

36:38Ah...

36:42Ah...

36:47Ah...

36:48For me, it's slightly easier with the...

36:50The fork because the fork has three...

36:53You see?

36:55It's like...

36:55So what I did is...

36:56I...

36:56I poke it, and then I twist...

36:59Uh...

36:59Ah...

37:00Ah...

37:07Ah...

37:08I realized one of the ways to eat it, is when I poke it using the back of the fork

37:15rather

37:15than the front I just, so I'm still experimenting, can you see, I just,

37:54so the clam soup has some, the clam soup has some pineapples in it, it's really nice.

38:10Now let me try, let me try using another tool, I know, yeah, yeah but, you see, I am beyond

38:32research.

38:39This is the traditional way, you can do this traditional way, that's when you have a chain.

38:52You order another bowl of lalak, this is so huge, can you see this?

39:05It goes so well with the soup.

39:21It's divine.

39:26Now we have our assorted snail, big and small.

39:39One thing about this small snail, it has something that not everyone may like it, like when I

39:45eat it, I feel some crunch.

39:48So according to Kelly, it is actually the egg pouch of the snail.

39:53So it's like, I eat it, I'm eating like other snails within the snail as well.

39:57So it has some crunch to it, which I find like, mmm, gelly.

40:15So these are like some baby snail, even though this restaurant is in a very small valley, but

40:24it is so busy.

40:28As long, as soon as one table finishes, another table will be filled.

40:35So it's simply amazing.

40:37Like the local people, they all know this place already.

40:40It's just that maybe some tourists, they don't really know the place yet.

40:44But local people definitely, they frequent this place a lot.

40:47So the turnover is really, really high.

40:50When someone goes out, someone will come in.

40:53Always full.

40:56So we have so much, so much more than typical people would order.

41:01So that's why it kind of confused the owner as well.

41:04Like it was very difficult for her to count how much we owe them.

41:10So this is the place.

41:11You see so many people, even outside there's some seatings.

41:14People are sitting outside as well.

41:16The kitchen is just over here.

41:17Ah, the kitchen is just over here.

41:19Simple and nice.

41:24Wow, look at the cat.

41:28He hear you but...

41:30Meow.

41:31He hear me but he pretends that he's not seeing me.

41:35He's ignoring me.

41:35Yeah, he's ignoring me.

41:36So quite full eh.

41:38Yeah.

41:40So we just finished our clam and our snail in the restaurant earlier.

41:45And now we are walking towards our dessert soup.

41:49So I'm gonna tell you guys a little bit about my experience of the difference between the snail and the

41:57clam of the southern and the northern.

42:01So...

42:03Okay.

42:04Am I still in frame?

42:06Okay.

42:07So in the northern, what I think is that they are more emphasized on simplicity.

42:14Like the taste is much more mellow.

42:19It's much more simple.

42:28The taste is much more simple.

42:30It's less intense compared to the southern.

42:35The southern, they put a lot of flavors in there.

42:39A lot of ingredients.

42:42So it really depends on what an individual likes.

42:46Some people like it like simple and plain.

42:51Some people like it much more intense.

42:53So if you prefer the snail and the clams that are much more intense, then the southern one will be

43:00good.

43:01And if you prefer something that is simple, then the northern one will be for you.

43:05I like both of them.

43:08Over there.

43:11Now that I've traveled both to Hanoi, which is the northern area, like Hanoi Sapa, and I've also tried things

43:19in the central, you know, like more central and more southern, like Nia Trang, Dalat, and Ho Chi Minh.

43:27Yeah, I can taste the difference between the taste that people like.

43:34As we are walking on the street in Hanoi, you will actually see tourists from all over the world.

43:41Because Hanoi really attracts people from all facades of life, like all types of people, all different races.

43:53Yeah, so this place is really like a melting pot.

43:56So we would be thinking that, oh yeah, Vietnamese, the majority of Vietnamese speaks only Vietnamese.

44:03And there will be also some people, the younger people especially, that speak English.

44:08But still, people just keep coming.

44:13Yeah, it is a really vibrant city for tourists.

44:19So you see there's a lot of bikes here.

44:22Motorbikes are like the main mode of transportation for a lot of Vietnamese.

44:27You can see, like, they are parked almost in the entire side of the street.

44:37And when we are walking on the road, the bikes are like walking with us.

44:43You know, they know how to avoid us if they go faster.

44:48Yeah, so even though it can be quite, cause a little bit of anxiety.

44:55But in actual fact, they are quite safe.

44:58Yeah.

45:00So if you are already used to it, if you are already used to walking on the streets of Vietnam,

45:07then yeah, you are not afraid of bikes anymore.

45:15Where?

45:15Meow.

45:16Yeah, so true.

45:18Hello, say goodbye.

45:20Yeah.

45:22Okay.

45:23It looks like a lion.

45:27Here, there are a lot of restaurants.

45:29I mean, a lot of shops that are selling souvenirs and shirts, spa massages.

45:37Yeah, mostly souvenirs, restaurants.

45:48Spa.

45:55Okay.

45:57Cross.

46:01We are here.

46:04We are here.

46:05We are here.

46:21So we have two desserts that we ordered over here.

46:25One is the purple rice yogurt.

46:27Yeah, this is very refreshing.

46:29Very nice.

46:29Vietnamese people love this a lot because it's like a purple glutinous rice.

46:34And then another is like a grass jelly with the lotus seeds.

46:40And then basically, it's a very sweet kind of soup.

46:47A jay.

46:48Yeah, let's try it.

46:54Very refreshing.

46:58Very nice.

47:00The grass jelly goes very well with the lotus seed.

47:04And the sweetness is just right.

47:06It's not too sweet.

47:09And then there are some jelly inside as well.

47:12I cannot really describe but it's this jelly.

47:17And another type of jelly.

47:30It's a purple glutinous rice.

47:35It's nice with yogurt.

47:38It's nice.

47:41It's nice.

47:41The Vietnamese yogurt is very mild and sweet.

47:47It's not like the super sour type but it's very easy to eat.

47:54It goes extremely well with the glutinous rice.

48:05There's ice underneath.

48:07Mmm.

48:10Super good.

48:13So I've just finished my first dessert.

48:18And because I want to try so many things over here, so I ordered the assorted.

48:22Which is like, it has a little bit of everything.

48:26And so that I can try out different things in this shop.

48:30So in those days, before all the milk tea and all the commercialized things come into Vietnam,

48:38those people who were born before the 90s, they actually eat.

48:43Oh, so this is the assorted.

48:48So those people who were born before the 90s and those people who are, yeah, having my generation.

48:58They, so these were their like desserts.

49:02Like, you know, like how people today, we drink soda, we have milk tea.

49:07So those days, things like this, desserts like this were the thing they, they, the Vietnamese made all this from

49:16natural ingredients.

49:18So they are much healthier.

49:21And at the same time, when we are eating this over here, for the people who are like older and

49:30eating over here,

49:31it brings back a lot of nostalgic feeling to them.

49:35Let's try this.

49:39Let me try it myself.

49:40Really little bit of everything.

49:42I can try, taste the red bean.

49:45Red bean and green bean.

49:51Guas jelly.

50:10In Chinese, we call Wu Tao, but I forgotten the, the name of it, but it's a root vegetable.

50:16So there are some other beans as well, you see this.

50:19These are kidney beans.

50:22Red bean.

50:25Jelly.

50:27Jelly.

50:28Jelly also made from natural ingredients.

50:30It's a mixture of a few different items.

50:43Yeah.

50:44This is a really good blend of ingredients.

50:48There are so many things in here.

50:56The burst of flavor.

51:02I still like the, the, the purple rice better.

51:07Thanks so much.

51:08You eat?

51:13No.

51:26Good stuff.

51:34So this shop has been here, this shop has been in business since 1975.

51:52We just finished our dessert at Jae Bun Mo over here, you see they're so big

51:58They even opened another shop opposite, with upstairs as well, so beautiful.

52:06So now we're just gonna walk back to our hotel and wind down, chill and watch like a movie.

52:13I'll see you guys tomorrow.
