1
People say Hanoi has one of the best street foods in the world but can't just 10 US dollars buy breakfast,
2
lunch, dinner, dessert and even fresh beer?
3
Challenge accepted!
4
Okay, so the first stop is Pho Hau
5
and I know you can find phở anywhere but wait until you see this so
6
here
7
i have the pho tai lăn which is the stir-fried garlic beef noodle soup
8
and you've probably never heard of this right?
9
because all you eat was phở tai or phở tai nạc
10
which is the rare beef or the rare vuf
11
and beef brisket phở but what makes this phở different is
12
that they put a lot of green onions
13
and garlic in here i can smell the garlic from miles away
14
so how do Hanoi and eat this phở? first of all you add more garlic Hanoi pho is usually very delicate,
15
savory and a little bit sweet from the beef bones
16
but this garlic vinegar will add the tangy flavor to your pho broth to make everything balance out perfectly
17
and then next up I'm gonna add a little bit of the chili
18
then you would mix everything together
19
it smells so good guys it smells like home
20
I honestly love eating this garlic pho in the winter because it makes my body warmer.
21
Okay, let's eat!
22
The meat is so thin.
23
The beef is tender, the garlic is so aromatic, the pho is silky and soft, the onions are crunchy, and the broth is very flavorful,
24
sweet from the bones and savory from the fish sauce.
25
This is definitely a great start for my morning.
26
Not to mention that this pho is unique because it has the signature smoky wok aroma.
27
If you come to Hanoi, I highly recommend this place.
28
I'll leave the address in the description box below.
29
You guys know what's funny.
30
Today I'm trying to stretch just 10 US dollars as far as possible in Hanoi
31
and the last thing that I want is an expensive roaming bill ruining the challenge.
32
That's why I use Silly whenever I travel
33
and I've been using them for years and trusting them to be the sponsor for today's video.
34
Instead of hunting for local sim cards
35
that have the high risk of being scammed or paying crazy amount of money for international roaming fees,
36
I should install an eSIM before my trip and get connected as soon as I land.
37
Honestly, it makes traveling so much easier.
38
I can use map to find the hidden food stall, translate Vietnamese menus, and even call the healing service if my feet are getting tired.
39
What I love the most about eSIM from Cellly is that it's very easy to install and activate.
40
You can go to setting, cellular, and activate your new eSIM.
41
So if you're planning your next trip and want to stay connected without a hassle, download Silly app at silly.com slash pho
42
and enjoy the exclusive discount of 15% off on your Silly data plans by applying the code pho at the checkout.
43
Now that we're connected, let's see how much more amazing food we can squeeze in this $10 challenge.
44
Have you ever wondered where the office workers, students or normal Vietnamese people would eat lunch?
45
Today, I'm gonna take you to Cơm Bình Dân, which is known as the affordable rice meal.
46
Let's go!
47
So, I'll give you a 50-50 There's a lot of rice,
48
a răng, a chicken, a chicken, a chicken, a chicken, a chicken, or a chicken?
49
Yes, there's a chicken.
50
Yes, there's a chicken.
51
Yes, I appreciate you.
52
Thank you.
53
So this whole meal costs less than 2 US dollars.
54
So what is cơm bình dân?
55
Cơm bình dân is a Vietnamese term
56
that usually refers to an inexpensive meal consisting of rice and a selection of side dishes,
57
typically in Vietnamese cuisine sold by street vendors restaurants.
58
It's like a buffet you come and you choose the ingredients
59
so as you can see my tray has full of food
60
and I think just one meal people have enough energy to work throughout the day
61
so I'm gonna introduce you what I'm eating today I love this one called is quite salty
62
but it's very good with rice It is very crunchy and refreshing.
63
Vietnamese people usually stir fry the sour pickled green mustard with beef.
64
For those of you who are not very familiar with the gai chua, it might be a little bit sour for you.
65
So you can replace it with other boiled vegetables or stir-fried green beans. But I love it.
66
I see the green beans.
67
Ah yeah, they look oily at first, but we'll see how it tastes.
68
A little bit like over stir fries because they are pretty soft.
69
But I like the flavor.
70
It's well seasoned.
71
Boiled cabbage.
72
You can ask for extra fish sauce or extra soy sauce to dip with it.
73
The fact about me is that whenever I eat boiled vegetables, I don't usually dip it in soy sauce or fish sauce
74
because I just want to taste the natural sweetness from the boiled vegetables.
75
Also Vietnamese people love salted peanuts, but if you are allergic to peanuts, be careful, okay?
76
The peanuts are sweet, salty, and very flavorful.
77
Wonder why Vietnamese people love eating peanuts when they drink beer.
78
This chicken is called Gà Ho Gung.
79
Chicken is stewed with ginger and topped with lime leaves.
80
It is super fragrant. So good.
81
It's very tender.
82
Lime leaves really boost the scent of the chicken.
83
I love it.
84
You definitely need to order this.
85
Gà ho vừng, okay?
86
This is chà la lốt.
87
And in the south they call it bò la lốt.
88
Usually in the south they would grab the beef with the lolot leaves.
89
And usually people from the north use ground pork to eat with the paper lolot.
90
It is super tasty.
91
Also Vietnamese people love to eat it with soup soup here
92
I have spinach with board soup it is super healthy well the soup is not hot anymore
93
but it is super hot in Hanoi today
94
so I'm okay with eating cold soup
95
but this soup is supposed to pull off your body's meat
96
because it's made with spinach and board which is very good for your health so yeah less than $2 you can get carbs,
97
proteins and fibers in one meal
98
to be honest even though I was born
99
and raised here I didn't have a lot of experiences eating cơm bình dân
100
because when I was in school in Vietnam after school I usually went home to eat my mom's food
101
because it's cleaner
102
and I liked it better then at the age of 17 I moved to the US
103
so there was obviously Obviously no cơm bình dân in the US, right?
104
And then when I came back at the age of 26,
105
I was filming all other Vietnamese cuisine and I accidentally forgot to film this cơm bình dân,
106
which is the affordable meal that a lot of Vietnamese people have daily.
107
Yeah, the place is filling up with people right now.
108
It is so crowded.
109
So from 1130 to 1230 people usually have lunch and then after that they would go back to the office,
110
get their blanket out and then take a 30-minute siesta.
111
What a life.
112
Actually, I see most men.
113
I see most men here eating cơm bình dân.
114
That means a lot of women just pack their lunch to work.
115
What I love about this place is that it's very affordable for everyone to have a good meal.
116
I don't know why on GoogleNet they rated it like 1.2 stars, which is insane.
117
But they still have full of customers here and their food is pretty decent so I don't know why.
118
If you want to experience the real Vietnam, you need to eat cơm bình dân one time
119
because you're not necessarily gonna like the food here but you will like the atmosphere.
120
In Vietnam, if you're full, Vietnamese people usually just eat the meat.
121
They would leave out the vegetables and the rice.
122
The reason behind it was when we were kids, whenever we were full, we couldn't eat anymore.
123
Moms usually persuaded us to leave the rice, leave the vegetables, and eat only the meat or the seafood or the protein.
124
Because back then, the protein was more expensive compared to the veggies or the rice.
125
As an adult, I've realized that every meal is a blessing, and not even a single grain of rice deserves to be wasted.
126
One of my favorite food memories in Hanoi doesn't happen at breakfast or dinner.
127
It starts around 4pm.
128
That's when the streets come alive.
129
Kids rush out of school, office workers finish their shifts, and locals gather around tiny food stalls for their afternoon snack.
130
Growing up, I could never resist the smoky aroma of thịt siên nương, grilling over charcoal.
131
My friends and I would order grilled pork skewers, nọc bò khô, which is the green papaya salad with dry beef,
132
bánh ngôi, crispy fried pillow cakes,
133
and finish with a bowl of cold sweet chè alongside hot banana and sweet potato fitters.
134
It was a perfect mix of crunchy, savory, and refreshing.
135
Most of these snacks cost just a dollar or two.
136
They're simple, affordable, and for so many Vietnamese people, they taste just like childhood.
137
Isn't it funny that sometimes the things that cost the least are the ones we can never afford to lose?
138
Okay guys, so we've got some money left.
139
Let's get some beer.
140
Oh my gosh, it is so hot outside but it's so great to have a glass of cold beer.
141
Cheers!
142
Oh wait, I'm gonna teach you how to cheers in Vietnamese.
143
So in the north, people would say 1, 2, 3, Rô, 2, 3, Rô 2, 3, Uống That means 1,
144
2, 3, Cheers 2, 3, Cheers 2, 3, Drink And in the south people would cheer one time 1, 2, 3, Rô
145
So refreshing So this is the iconic Beer Hơi Hanoi.
146
So Beer Hơi Hanoi is the fresh beer that is brewed daily.
147
It's only 2 to 4% ABV and that's why when you drink it is so light, cold and very refreshing.
148
Fun fact, Vietnamese people only started drinking beer a few decades ago.
149
For centuries, the traditional wine made from rice and fruit are the alcoholic beverage of choice.
150
In the 1890s, the country's first brewery was opened by the French in Hanoi.
151
With around 30 workers, Homo Brewery produces around 150 liters a day, mostly serving the French military.
152
Until they think of a new idea of producing instant drought beer, which is called bi-hoy nowadays.
153
However, the locals were still very loyal to their traditional wine and beverages.
154
So that's why beer heui was overlooked for a long time.
155
Not until the government interfered to make the taste better to fit the locals palate.
156
So that's when the popularity of beer heui was growing.
157
If you show up at a beer place after 5pm, you're gonna see a lot of office workers,
158
family, friends would come here and drink beer, chit-chat with each other and eat the drinking base.
159
However, today I'm gonna take myself on a date and drink beer by myself and eat the delicious Nen Bui.
160
But I don't feel lonely because I have around more than 200,000 people joining me, right?
161
It would even make my day better if you hit the subscribe button and turn on the bell if you haven't yet.
162
This one is called Nembui and Nembui is from the Bui village from Bắc Ninh
163
and now it's Bắc Giang province and the meat here you see is the lean pork meat,
164
the pork fat with the pork skin mixed with the Thính
165
that means like the stir-fry rice and then the white powder
166
that you can see on top of the meat is actually called thính gạo
167
or thính and how people make it is
168
that they stir fry the rice
169
and then grind the rice very finely to make it as a special ingredient for the meat
170
so you would put the meat inside the thick leaves
171
and then you grab it and then you dip it in the chili sauce and enjoy it So good!
172
Sip beer!
173
Nam Bui is nutty, savory and has the umami taste.
174
The leaves are actually fresh and crispy.
175
Mixed very well with the name.
176
Oh, I almost forgot.
177
So another popular spot for beer in Hanoi is the Ta Hii street.
178
So if you want to drink affordable and fresh beer in Hanoi, go to Ta Hien as well.
179
Finally, mission is completed.
180
I didn't break the bank and I'm so full right now guys.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
