Today I'm in district 6 which is a part of the Chinatown in Saigon okay so this area is located
about a 25 minute drive from district 1 so it's a very local area but I love coming here because
the food is amazing and today I am eating at a place called Minh Ki Mee Zaa which serves
basically wonton soup okay you can choose between rice noodle and egg noodle and by the way guys
this dish is actually called Van Thanh in the north okay but here in the south they say something
like Hoang Thanh if I would read it but they read it a little bit differently here in the south but
I found this place on google maps and I saw they had pretty good reviews so I thought why not just
come here and try the food and I'm gonna tell you guys I was not disappointed but it was not
perfect as well but here you have the bowl guys and you can see that it's packed okay so I just
asked him for a bowl of wonton soup with egg noodles okay but it's packed with pork liver
some pork intestines several dumplings a prawn as well or shrimp and some fried pork fat but
anyway the broth was pretty good because it was not as sweet as many other places as you might
know or don't know the cuisine in the south of Vietnam especially Saigon it's very sweet compared
to the north and the central region so we usually say it's a little bit sweet here but the broth
here was not overly sweet so it was like okay but many other places are a little bit too sweet but
this was pretty good pretty tasty broth I have to say the only downside I would say about this
bowl is the noodles okay the noodles were okay at least they were not too soft but they are not like
handmade wonton noodles which I've had at other places so a little bit disappointing there but
still okay because the rest of their soup and the ingredients they were very good so the wontons
they were very flavorful the skin was pretty bouncy and not falling apart very nice there
the prawn tasted good as well as well as the pork liver and also the roasted pork so there
are a few pieces of the pork meat which were good as well not dry or anything so I just added a
little bit of garlic vinegar there and I also added a little bit of chili sauce when you come
to these kind of like very local places I like that because it's more like authentic in a way
it's more like how I remember Vietnam or at least the rural places I visited back in a day where
people maybe have never seen a foreigner or something like that and they stare at you and
stuff like that like and also here guys I want to show you when they are assembling this bowl here
only paid 45 000 which is a very good price I had a similar bowl for 50 000 just like one week ago
but it was like half the amount of noodles I'm not even exaggerating and I got like two dumplings
and like one piece of meat in the whole bowl and it was 50k but here I got a bowl packed with stuff
for 45k so thumbs up for that very good value for money I highly recommend you guys to come
to these kind of local places and not just hang around like district 1 or district 2 or district
7 or something like that it's much more cool to see these authentic places this restaurant is open
the whole day from morning to night so you can come here and enjoy I will leave the address in
the description through google maps anyway thank you for watching please don't forget to like the
