FAMOUS FOOD in Vietnam Hoi An - Vietnamese food you must try!

So what you're going to see in this video is basically everything we ate on this trip with prices included and all the location links are going to be in the description. So we're going to start the video in this place called Kotu BBQ and we're going to get some barbecue skewers. I'm excited for this. It smells good. I can see them cooking already. Let's go. So this place was recommended to us by our friend Gary which he always has the best recommendations for food. We can smell the pork already. Uncle is sitting here barbecuing huge portions of meat in a basket on the barbecue ready to be served. I cannot wait. This is our breakfast and it looks really really good. This is a good breakfast. You can see already that they basically have a bowl full of marinade. This marinade contains a lot of lemongrass and it's slightly sweet as well. Yeah. It smells so good. All right come on. This looks good. Okay come on. So we're going to get a lesson again how to prepare the food I think. Okay. I think we did this completely wrong before. So you get the dry sticky rice paper and put it on the sticky side and you pull it off like a sheet. Oh there you go. Oh okay. And then you put the stick you wrap it up and the thing is but it's not sticky now because you got the dry rice paper on the outside and then pull it up. Wow. Yeah she's made one for you already. I think he's already got one ready. She's made it by the professional. I'll do one in a minute. There is some peanuts. So we've got peanut sauce here and lady check some chili in it as well. This looks really rich. Sorry. This is delicious. You're gonna love this. Good? This is so good. We had one before in Hoi An old town in the center and it was terrible. But we didn't have a clue how to make it. We had all this stuff put beside us but we were just pulling the sticky rice paper off and just eating it and wrapping it. But the way you've seen it I think it's going to be good. Let me try and make one. Right I've had my lesson. Let's see if I can do it as well as you did. I'm not too sure. So get the dry one and then you place it on the sticky ones and you push it down a little bit and you should. Yeah this side. Ah there you go and the sticky ones in the middle and you get your salad. Put your salad in there and your herbs. There's some herbs in the bottom actually. Mint. I definitely want some mint in there and then you get your stick. You see it's already open at the top. So what you do is just stick it on. Ah I think you wrap it first. Yeah wrap it first. So push it together. Wrap it up and then you grab and you should make this. Oh yeah. Easy. Try it. Try it. Mine's a bit fatter than Diggy's. Well mine was made by the professional. I'm semi-professional. Good? Look at that. Look at that meat. It's all charcoal little grilled bits on the end. This is delicious. The thing is the meat is really thin so it's cooked very hot and very quickly so it chars but stays super soft in the middle and that's so delicious with the mixed herbs and the satay peanut sauce. What makes it really nice is actually the thick noodle. The noodle inside gives a bit of chew. It's really good. I love this. One of my favorite dishes actually. I really like this one. Thank you Gary. How's yours? You made it well? This is a delicious spot for food. Make sure you come here. It's like a perfect breakfast food. The thing is I love the way that you have to make your food as well. So you don't just smash it down and eat it. You have to take your time and make it and yeah it's delicious. Absolutely delicious. Amazing. People are very happy to see us here as well. Ladies coming out of the kitchen. They're smiling. They're happy to see us. It's a very local place. Not many foreigners come here I think. I'm not seeing anyone. But I'm not sure why because this is like in the middle of Korea. It's really close to the old town. It's very close. If you're looking to come here this place is open from 10 30 a.m till 7 p.m so it's open all day and they've got thousands of sticks. You see the guy outside there's thousands of sticks he's got down there. He's constantly cooking. Must be doing it all day. And tea. So each of the barbecue sticks for one portion of five is 60,000 for each one. So we had two so that was 120,000 for the food. Really good price. Lovely. Very friendly people. Lovely family. And delicious food. What more do you ask for? My tomato bike. This one is not very good. It's like proper smashed up but oh well. It's massive queue already. I am struggling at the moment with the heat. It's really really humid. It's not even that hot but humidity is really high. I can't wait for my bunny. Let's go there. There was nobody there when we turned up. Let's go over there by the bike. Where is our bike? Oh no let's go there. Let's go in the bike parking lot. We've got the goods. I've been waiting for this one. Let me have a sniff. Oh I can smell the pork already. Grilled barbecue pork. Oh no this was not barbecue. It's normal grilled pork. Do you want to sit here or over there? Oh that looks nice. All right try it. Taste test. This looks so good. Crunchy bread. Loads of fresh veggies. Pickled veggies and this is yeah barbecue pork. Let's go. The pork in here is like belly pork. It has a bit of fat in it which is really nice and you have this pate in here. The pate is really really good. Gives it a nice rich flavour but also this one has a nice little chilli kick. Not too hot but a lovely chilli kick but so refreshing as well at the same time. I think you have to try this. It's delicious and also the herbs inside. So delicious. Gives it so much flavour. That's so good. I see what the hype is now. I might have to get another one for the road. God it's so bright. I'm literally squinting. Can't stop squinting. Okay let's go for it. Oh this is good. Look how much stuff is inside and the pate as well. That pate is delicious. Although I've never seen tomato in a banh mi before. Maybe they just like you know jazzed it up a little bit for their tourists. This is so good. This is our favourite breakfast and beer snack when in Vietnam. I really like fresh onions with it as well. It doesn't have pickles in it does it this one? Is it pickled? Does it have pickled veggies? It's all fresh. No it's all fresh but it's nice. I never had one like that. Always had like a pickled veggies in it. But this one has loads of pate. This is delicious. Right down there you can see. Only joking we got one more. But yeah is it worth the hype and coming here? Yeah I come and get one. But what I've seen and read online is after maybe 10, 11 or maybe after 11 it starts getting busy. And especially like in the evenings from like 9 onwards after people had a few beers it gets super busy here. So for me come here early for breakfast maybe 9am. You have no queues. You can sit on the street outside and enjoy on the street. How much? So each one was 35,000 each. Obviously there's different prices for different ones but it's ranging from 25 up to 40,000. So oh really good price. Perfect breakfast like Diggy said. I love it. I could have one of these on the road as well. It's a perfect snack when you're on the road. Stick it in your bike. You can have it whenever you want it. Can I have some? No. Did you see the sausages in there? They look like Polish sausages. They slice them like the Polish sausages. Yeah they had like a big kielbasa. Okay important question. Is this better than your favorite banh mi you ever had in Hanoi with grilled chicken? No. I'm someone who likes the basic stuff. The one we had there. You can go check the video out. It's grilled on the street. All fresh meat. And it's basically very simple. Just pickled veggies, hot sauce and just grilled meat. And Tony Bourdain should have gone to that one as well. Yeah you should check that one out. You should have checked that one. That was good. I'm not getting much burger though. Quite a lot. Mine's like Moo Krab from Thailand but not crispy. You see the slices are like on the top. So this is the original one but because it got so busy there is actually a second branch a three minute walk away. So this is super busy. Maybe go check out the second branch. Same ingredients, same bread, same place but probably less busy than this one and it's closer to the center of Old Town. Top tip. We just arrived in a restaurant called Baby Mustard. We've seen very good reviews so we decided to try it. There's some delicious food on the menu so let's go and check it out. Let's go. I'm starving. This place is also a cooking class and I think cooking class is going on now. This place they grow their own vegetables for salads and everything. Danny over there checking out the garden. But we made our order. We're ready to eat. Food has arrived. Let's go. Do we put this inside here? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right so we need instructions for our food. It looks a little bit complicated. Danny's going to show you how to do it. I'm not going to show you. We're being helped. So basically you can see this dry rice paper. Dip it. Okay and then salad inside. Okay. Oh and then roll this way. Roll from this side. Oh wow. Oh that looks good. Come on. Thank you very much. It's a mix between like a fresh spring roll and a fried one as well. Check it out. I never knew how to do this unless someone actually tells me. You get all this stuff on the table unless you research it. I just pick it up and eat it like a normal pancake. How cool is that? Try it. Try dipping the sauce. Is it good? Yeah. Oh yeah. Again you've got a mix of the fried crunchiness. The nice soft meat inside. Basically the veggies make it so fresh as well. Oh that's delicious. You've got mint there too. That is delicious. Dig in. You've got to try this. This is so good. I'm just gonna show you how you have to do it with a rice paper. It's basically half of the dish is a rice paper here and then it's a water. So just yeah. Put it on your plate. Get it nice and round. Yeah. This is so cool. This looks literally delicious. Oh how red I am. I'm hot. I'm matching my top. Right. Let's go for it. This is delicious. What flavor is that sauce? Wow. Things like ginger lemon dipping sauce are so good. I cannot believe we never had this dish before. We've been four times in Vietnam and first time we're eating this. We wasted so much time Danny. So we have ordered another dish which is grilled chicken with lemongrass. Oh wow that looks amazing. It has just arrived. Oh smells delicious. I've never seen it like this. So this is like cooked on a leaf as well. I don't know if this is a banana leaf maybe. Smells delicious and another fresh salad as well. I'm burning it. I'm taking off all the Let's try this. It looks delicious. Smells delicious. That is good. Oh strong lemongrass. Slightly sweet. It's slightly like satay peanut flavor as well. That is so good. I could eat two plates of this. Vicky you sure you want some? Well don't forget you are sharing. All right let's go. Oh yeah. So much lemongrass right. That is so good. Vietnamese food is definitely definitely growing on us. We're trying so many new dishes we've never tried before in Hoi An. It's actually nice and refreshing. Break from our usual food. Different flavors. Different textures. Absolutely loving it. There is loads of lemongrass on top even like you see. You see that. That's lemongrass and onion shallots. This is really really nice marinade. Right so we're just gonna finish that. We need a coffee and then we're gonna take you for another spot for another delicious food in Hoi An. There you go. I like the salad you get with it as well and again loads of fresh herbs. It was very nice. Thank you. Right Danny what was the price? That was 239 000 dong. Okay so let's go and grab that coffee now. I just want to quickly show you another great coffee spot here in Hoi An near Ang Bang beach. We are in the middle of the rice fields. There is a lot of lovely sitting area. You've got a 360 view from this cafe around the Hoi An. I fancy a coffee. I hope they got one. Oh that was so cute in here. Like a coffee please. Yeah. One. I can have an iced coconut coffee as well. Let's go sit upstairs. Oh wow. Oh it's so pretty. The biggest flying ant ever. But this is cool. Look at this. So pretty. From here you can actually see Ang Bang beaches right down there and then Hoi An old town is that way. Loads of people fishing. Loads of water buffalos are everywhere around Your favorite animal? My favorite animal? No you are my favorite animal. Stop it. Stop my toe. I'm gonna say something and I stub my toe. So I got myself egg coffee. My favorite in Vietnam. And Danny got a coconut coffee which looks like it has ice cream in it. Coconut ice. Is it nice Danny? Try some of the coconut ice cream. Oh wow. Thank you. So that was 140 for both of the coffees. Coffee is okay but I think people come here more for the views and what we saw is going to be a good sunset spot here as well because you can see all around Hoi An. But we like more of the local spots for coffee don't we Danny? Yes because they're stronger and a better price as well. You can go for these fancy coffees but I just like the basic strong local proper Vietnamese coffee. So just sat down here chilling in a shade in Hoi An ancient town.
