Meat!
2
There's so much in here,
3
it's already juicy, it's red.
4
You know what kind of seasoning is in here?
5
They have a secret recipe.
6
They won't tell us.
7
Even if we asked nicely.
8
I'm gonna tell you exactly what it's in.
9
Vietnam is a street food lovers paradise,
10
and one of the few places where you can ball out on a budget.
11
This is the least expensive,
12
most affordable, and I could even probably say cheap for this food adventure.
13
Do we have truffle?
14
When it comes to cheap eats,
15
these creative vendors have mastered the art of turning affordable ingredients into hurricanes of flavor and texture satisfaction.
16
Today, I'm showing you 10 different street foods you can buy for under a dollar.
17
There's no chopsticks.
18
It's gonna be a bit messy.
19
And some even cost less than that.
20
So get ready to give your pennies a pinch.
21
This is a side of street food you have never seen before.
22
Joining our food adventure, a 23-year-old fashion designer and food lover.
23
She's lived in Australia, Denmark,
24
France, and now her motherland, Vietnam.
25
Her name is Kimmy.
26
Let's eat!
27
It has begun.
28
The cheapest street food tour probably in the world.
29
I don't think you could find food much more affordable than what we have right here.
30
These look f***ing fantastic.
31
What is this?
32
This is soy jean.
33
Now soy is sticky rice and jean is fried stuff?
34
Correct.
35
The outside, it's made with fried rice.
36
It's been crispified on the outside,
37
cut in half, and they've just stuffed it full of so many fun, powerful, tasty ingredients.
38
Like a thick dressing of mayonnaise,
39
chili sauce, fried onion, liver pate,
40
minced pork, pork floss, and a fried quail egg.
41
About 25 cents for one of these,
42
a dollar will get you four.
43
I haven't actually touched one yet.
44
See which one speaks to me.
45
This one has its mouth open.
46
Like it's calling out to me.
47
Sorry, I'm the one.
48
Let's go for it.
49
Let's go.
50
Mmm.
51
Wonderful, sticky texture.
52
Crunchy outside.
53
A little bit spicy with a sweet chili sauce.
54
Right, that kind of cheap chili sauce still gives it that fast food kind of flavor to it.
55
Definitely.
56
And everything in there is really salty.
57
You don't have to go all the way to Saigon to find this dish.
58
You just need to go to the right place,
59
which is usually nearby schools,
60
because kids love cheap food.
61
But if you come to this particular cart,
62
a cart with 17 years of experience,
63
Mr. Bao is setting the standard for yum.
64
Is everything we're eating today kids food?
65
When you're a student you do want to save what coin you have and you want to make it go far.
66
This sort of stuff is perfect.
67
Well guys, stick around.
68
We're going to go to all the places where kids go
69
and probably by the end of the video I'll get arrested for just being creepy
70
and old and walking around with cameras here in Vietnam.
71
So it should be a fun adventure.
72
Our Cheap Eats journey has led us here a street food heaven with over 50 vendors.
73
This neighborhood has been long known as Saigon's Little Cambodia,
74
selling Cambodian-inspired dishes and so much more.
75
Meat!
76
Finally!
77
Okay, so this is our second location, second dish.
78
Now, one of these delicious meat popsicles is,
79
uh, how much I can?
80
10K.
81
Like under 60 cents.
82
And the name of it is Nembo.
83
Nung Sa.
84
Grilled beef with lemongrass.
85
When it comes to southern Vietnamese food,
86
this is a must try.
87
After five years of perfecting his meat,
88
Mr. Lam now sells up to 1,000 sticks per day.
89
You know what kind of seasoning is in here?
90
They have a secret recipe.
91
It's a family tradition.
92
I'm gonna deconstruct this.
93
Let's try it out.
94
I'm gonna tell you exactly what's in it.
95
Here we go.
96
I see a little sugar, MSG, salt.
97
Probably anato oil is making it red.
98
My god, that's juicy.
99
Yeah. So juicy.
100
Seasoned ground beef is wrapped around a lemongrass stock, salt, and secret ingredients.
101
Oh wow.
102
The meat, because it's been grilled and there's a bit of sugar in there,
103
the edges, some bits have become almost caramelized.
104
So it's just sweet, savory, juicy, and totally delicious.
105
I love it.
106
Alright, so we've had our appetizer,
107
our meaty main course, and now dessert right here.
108
Jui Nung.
109
Jui Nung.
110
Jui Nung.
111
Jui Nung.
112
How's that?
113
Jui Nung.
114
Jui Nung.
115
This is food created to be affordable by resourceful people with simple ingredients like bananas and coconut.
116
Then under the skilled hands of Miss Hien,
117
it transforms into a dessert that is unable to be resisted banana that's been grilled.
118
You know, I didn't even know that was an option for about 30 years of my life.
119
Sun-dried bananas are soaked in salt water,
120
grilled until golden browned, cut and smothered in a creamy sweet coconut cream.
121
Let's try it out.
122
Oh, so good I could get hit by traffic and not care.
123
The banana gives it that body,
124
gives you that vessel, but it's all about the coconut cream, right?
125
It's sweet, creamy, rich, and it has a little bit of that like over sweet frosting flavor to it.
126
A little salty as well.
127
This one is only 15,000 don't.
128
That's a lot of deliciousness.
129
I'm gonna have much more I can eat.
130
We have a lot more to go.
131
Yeah.
132
You gotta toughen up.
133
It's all part of the food biz.
134
Help me please.
135
And then she takes another bite.
136
This whole market is just bustling full of different types of food.
137
This lady behind us has the fried section.
138
Just a few stalls away, Miss Loan.
139
Everything here gets fried.
140
Bananas, sweet potatoes, breadfruit.
141
All is coated in a flour batter before plunging it into the oil.
142
But what stands out to me?
143
It's basically a Vietnamese empanada.
144
I'm gonna break it in half.
145
Ooh, I better get a close-up on that.
146
Oh, it's kicking.
147
I feel it kicking.
148
It's going to be a soccer player.
149
Do you really want to break it?
150
Yeah.
151
Oh, yes.
152
Look at all that.
153
Damn.
154
This fried goodness is stuffed with stir-fried minced pork and mushrooms,
155
plus a quail egg.
156
Mm.
157
Nice, flaky crush on the outside.
158
Inside, savory, sweet, and more light than I expected.
159
Hey, it kind of makes me think of a bun bao.
160
Oh, you're wrong.
161
That's what it feels like, but just fried.
162
Yeah.
163
Oh.
164
Like it's really similar meat.
165
The meat, yeah it is.
166
OK, I agree.
167
It's kind of like the inside of a ban bao,
168
where it's kind of like some steamed pork juiciness.
169
Yeah.
170
That's also sweet.
171
Mm-hmm.
172
Yeah, OK, I feel you.
173
You proud of yourself?
174
Oh, yeah.
175
This humble, retro-style vendor is churning out one of the city's most affordable foods.
176
Eaten alone, it's boring.
177
Add on toppings and this sky is the limit.
178
Actually, dried squid might be the limit.
179
This is the least expensive,
180
most affordable food that's gonna be on our list for this food adventure.
181
This is porridge, a rice porridge that's sold for 1,000 dong.
182
And it.. what is that even?
183
Practically free.
184
Can you believe it?
185
I can, it's just, it's rice porridge.
186
Porridge is great.
187
Porridge is a food that you eat when you don't have teeth because you're a little kid or you're very old.
188
Also when I was growing up,
189
this is the sort of stuff my mom should be like eat eat eat every time I was sick.
190
Yeah, it's good sick food.
191
So is it good though?
192
I mean, it's great especially with all these toppings.
193
There are countless toppings for this congee.
194
Salted duck egg, century egg,
195
braised pork fat, nine different types of dried fish,
196
pickled cucumber, salted radish, or the always delightful dried duck intestines.
197
Yes.
198
It has been fried up just for us,
199
cut into little slices, and it will be absolutely delicious.
200
I think we dump a little bit of everything in there.
201
Uh-huh.
202
We should start with this pork fat and just get some of that nice, ricey porridge.
203
Let's try it out.
204
Oh, it's not so crunchy.
205
It's more chewy.
206
It's like bacon bits, but big.
207
I'd say I'm a fan.
208
Oh, really?
209
Jesus Christ, they're right there.
210
Like I said, when I was little,
211
my mom should be shoving this down my throat when I was sick.
212
We can probably get this lady to feed you.
213
Is that what you need?
214
The Bryce porridge itself has virtually no flavor.
215
Yeah.
216
I like that pork fat.
217
It's like big fat bacon bits.
218
Over here, some porridge mixed with the duck intestine.
219
This is gonna be a first for me.
220
Mmm.
221
I'm just gonna have some more of the porridge.
222
Oh.
223
You don't eat that in Australia?
224
Maybe the kangaroo intestine.
225
We can do that.
226
Kangaroo intestine.
227
That sounds good.
228
Have you ever had the century egg?
229
I have not.
230
This is gonna be another first.
231
Yummy.
232
Yeah.
233
Century egg itself.
234
It's got a bold kind of pungent aroma.
235
Mmm.
236
Kind of really pinnup.
237
Of those three, which is your favorite?
238
The century egg.
239
I'm digging these duck intestines.
240
They've done stuff to it.
241
They've been marinated in some kind of a sweet sauce.
242
It doesn't look like an intestine at all.
243
It's really good.
244
Boom.
245
Stingray.
246
Usually people are eating this when they're getting wasted.
247
Oh, very yum.
248
That is my favorite dish.
249
Stingray.
250
Mmm-hmm.
251
I'm sticking with these intestines.
252
Boom!
253
Food number six.
254
This place actually has an interesting nickname.
255
It's soy nha sak.
256
So soy for this dish,
257
nha sak, for the two morgues which surrounds it.
258
Well I'm dying to try this out,
259
so should we have a bite?
260
Let's do it.
261
A super simple, straightforward snack.
262
Sticky rice on a banana leaf,
263
topped with soy sauce, scallions,
264
fried shallots, ground peanuts, Chinese sausage and pork floss.
265
Let's try it out.
266
It's great.
267
It's flavored carbohydrates.
268
I like the peanut, it's like a peanut dust.
269
Sorry.
270
Pea nut.
271
People aren't clear.
272
And pork floss and lots of different fun flavors.
273
Super fragrant.
274
The sticky rice, very sticky.
275
I'm gonna get a little more of these micro sausages.
276
I mean, it is so thin.
277
Man, they must have a really sharp knife, man.
278
I think sticky rice is very underrated.
279
Not enough people eat it.
280
We should have more sticky rice in the world.
281
What do you think about that?
282
Agreed, we should have it everywhere.
283
Controversial, but true.
284
Let us know in the comments down below.
285
I'm gonna finish this, probably get a second.
286
I don't believe you.
287
We still have four foods to go.
288
And if we're wearing different clothes after this,
289
it's not because it's a different day.
290
It's because we had the meat sweats.
291
We ruined our clothes because we ate so much food.
292
I'm a lovin' wolf I'm a lovin' wolf I'm a lovin' wolf
293
No woman, woman, woman I ain't comin' back home Boom!
294
It is the next day,
295
which is obvious because we're wearing new clothes right now.
296
Are you wearing new clothes?
297
This is, uh, yeah.
298
My shirt yesterday was dark blue, this is medium blue.
299
Right here, we have a whole bowl of banh khan.
300
What's amazing about it is it's very resilient to the broth.
301
Oh yeah, let's do a selfie.
302
This is Miss Tama.
303
Every day she's serving up her breakfast recipe,
304
complete with tapioca noodles, fried fish cake,
305
blood cake, and pork knuckle,
306
all cooked in a savory pork bone broth.
307
This whole bowl is under a dollar.
308
And I want to ask ma'am,
309
how do you decide the price?
310
I would sell this for $10.
311
She's like, if you want to sell it for $10,
312
you can pay her the $10.
313
Is there anything new in here to you?
314
No, but the pig's blood jelly,
315
that reminds me of my childhood.
316
My mom would force me to eat that all the time,
317
and I would cry.
318
Oh, let's start with that.
319
This actually is not that bad.
320
See?
321
I'm glad you like it.
322
It is really good.
323
So the noodles are very soft.
324
You want to get your mouth all really close to the noodles,
325
and then you can slurp it up like this.
326
Mm.
327
All right, here we got some fish.
328
Oh, it's become kind of spongy.
329
It really soaked up all that broth.
330
This is awesome.
331
Is she out here every day?
332
She sells every day.
333
30 years already.
334
What?
335
You look great.
336
Yeah.
337
Wow.
338
Nice.
339
You're doing something right.
340
This right here has to be the smallest,
341
biggest banh mi I have ever seen.
342
It's about half the length of a normal banh mi.
343
And double the ingredients?
344
Right.
345
Here, they've condensed your typical banh mi experience,
346
starting with mayonnaise and liver pate,
347
then shredded chicken, ham, pork loaf,
348
egg, pickle, cilantro, and chilies.
349
Finally, the cherry on top,
350
shomai, with salted egg and tomato sauce.
351
Oh.
352
Mmm.
353
Oh, it's dripping.
354
It is a party of protein in my mouth hole.
355
Especially the present is that shomai.
356
Oh, I think there's, is there pate too?
357
Oh, there is.
358
Oh, there's not.
359
Okay, we have options for editing.
360
Everybody gets something a little bit different.
361
Overall, it's just super meaty, savory, little like livery.
362
I'm loving these pork balls,
363
all the tomato sauce over that.
364
The whole marketing gimmick of this place is they have 7,000 dong banh mi.
365
So that's for just the tiny one with one ingredient.
366
You could really get about three of these for a dollar but it would have less stuff put inside.
367
But here they've managed to stuff this to the brim.
368
It couldn't be stuffed anymore and it's still under a dollar.
369
This is the cheapest or I should say most affordable food that we're gonna find today.
370
For one of these little fatties here, it's only 1,500 don't.
371
That's less than seven pennies.
372
Wow.
373
I know you knew that already,
374
but can you act more surprised?
375
There you go.
376
Oh my god.
377
20 years at this cart with one item on the menu.
378
Mr. Laume holds the title for the cheapest roll in the city.
379
He's rolling 700 in a day.
380
Can you imagine?
381
I bet Snoop Dogg would hire this guy to roll something for him.
382
On top of rice paper,
383
he puts ground peanuts and dried shrimpies,
384
then lettuce, basil, and steamed jicama.
385
Roll it up and serve it with hoisin sauce,
386
sweet chili sauce, chilies, and ground peanuts.
387
I like to get a little bit of the peanut in there first.
388
Mm-hmm.
389
Try it out.
390
Ready.
391
Did you just finish that in one bite?
392
No. It's thick, sweet, salty,
393
and then it has great little crispy peanuts in there.
394
This itself, it has some nice chewy texture to it.
395
When you have this as a vehicle to deliver the sauce to your mouth...
396
Hold on, I got something in my retainer.
397
Boom!
398
We made it to our final and 10th destination.
399
What am I looking at right here?
400
This is called ban kè,
401
which literally translated is chives cake.
402
This is a traditional Chinese dish commonly found in Saigon's Chinatown.
403
Miss Fung has preserved this ancient family recipe for over 70 years,
404
making it the most famous place in town you'll find this dish.
405
Steamed, pounded rice is stuffed with chives, taro, or even jicama.
406
She fries both sides, then throws in a fried egg for good measure.
407
Doused with a sweet diluted fish sauce and fresh chilies.
408
I'm gonna rip this apart.
409
It's been hanging out here for a while.
410
It is just like white.
411
Oh yeah, that's how it gets all the flavor.
412
How do you know if it's too much fish sauce?
413
Is that even possible?
414
Yeah.
415
I think it is.
416
Mmm.
417
That's great.
418
Now, tell me.
419
Too much fish sauce, is that a thing?
420
No, it's the right amount.
421
Because the fish sauce, I think it's been diluted.
422
Obviously, the main flavor here is just chive.
423
It's very chivey.
424
So how much is it for this hockey puck with an egg on it?
425
You'll have to ask Poi.
426
Would you believe it is only 20,000 dong,
427
which comes to just a little bit under one dollar.
428
That's a pretty good deal.
429
It is like a thick pancake almost.
430
Like some kind of weird Vietnamese style pancake.
431
But it's so addictive.
432
Yeah it really is.
433
We tried ten different foods.
434
I'm really impressed with the creativity involved in the foods.
435
I thought for sure someone would just hand me an apple for food number seven
436
but there was an incredible diversity among everything we ate.
437
Definitely.
438
And a lot of inexpensive ingredients used intelligently and creatively.
439
And where else can you find super good,
440
super fresh, tasty, cheap food Vietnam.
441
Bravo.
442
Well done.
443
Ten delicious street foods, all under one dollar.
444
But people don't eat it because it's cheap.
445
They eat it because it tastes dang good.

Practice Tips
To effectively enhance your English speaking practice with this lesson, consider using a shadowing app or shadowing site to participate in shadow speech exercises. Start by playing the video or reading the transcript aloud, focusing on matching the speaker's pace and intonation. The conversational speed is quite engaging, which can sometimes be fast but manageable. Listen carefully to how words are articulated and the rhythm of phrases, repeating them after you hear them. This will help you achieve a natural flow while speaking about various topics, particularly around food.
As you practice, make sure to pause after each sentence to replicate not just the words, but the enthusiasm and emotion conveyed in the speaker's tone. Emulate their excitement when discussing the street food—this will help you sound more conversational and relatable. Additionally, keep revisiting challenging phrases, and don’t hesitate to use the new vocabulary you've learned to describe your own food experiences. The more you practice, the more fluent and confident you will become in expressing yourself in English!
Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
