No matter how much makeup on how good your hair is all about the food

This is Banh Xeo, it's kind of like a Vietnamese crepe, it's very crispy.

have egg batter with a little bit of flour and the shrimp and a little bit of pork

but of course you can customize it your own way

that's the beauty of Banh Xeo. And what you do..

Is that you cut out a piece of the Banh Xeo, if you want extra credit

have a little bit of green with it too. Like a taco just dip it in like this

I have to catch my own lunch which will make me greatly appreciate what i'm

going to eat and apparently you have to have great patience for catching shrimp

Ahh! I am so sorry. I'm sorry I won't eat you, I will put you back. NO!!

the creatures were refreshly caught. Roughly 30 minutes ago and now they're grilled

So here we have a black currant, black pepper ice cream

like you actually taste the black pepper near the end

it's really fresh it's actually really simple

they just poured the duck fat on top of it

partially dry but apparently this is the style going in

cheers mates! By far one of the best meals I've had yet

and guess how much it cost per person, 2 dollars!

they are beautiful. I feel kind of bad actually taking them that you know that

when I have them I'll be grateful for them.

I'm here in Saigon and i'm visiting this market it's called Cho Cu which means

old market and this is where a lot of people here they buy their food

it's kind of like a farmers market but it's every day and this is authentic

vietnamese and you see people here on the mopeds

they just stopped by their favorite stalls and they just grab whatever

anything fresh there's something really beautiful when you're buying it

from someone that you know or someone that you know of someone that you know

So good so it looks like there's mushrooms in here and mince pork

Vietnamese biscuits from Popeyes so these biscuits apparently they are better than

the ones you get in America because its first look at it it looks gently because

there's honey butter in here and on top of that it's just still fluffy

less than a dollar fifty between this beautiful thing right here

look how they package nuoc mam, they put it in a little baggy like this

and you know in New York you have to pay an arm and a leg for this. But it is

so simple you just have to get a banana leaf cut it out to the shape of plate

soft and fresh but it is really the shrimp paste that gives it that flavor

so this place is what it's called of backpackers district

a lot of restaurants a lot of bars people can congregate just have fun

even though we were in Saigon and Da Nang

and Hanoi everything that we ate was different we had no overlapping meals

and it was amazing because it made me realize wow there's so much more to

vietnamese food than just Pho and Banh Mi

there's so much more it's so many layers and depth to our food and it made me

really excited to explore more of my country
