Đang tạo bài học...
1
Think you've already seen everything Ho Chi Minh City has to offer?
2
Think again!
3
Today, I'm trying unique experiences that most tourists completely miss.
4
We're going to learn how to make three different Vietnamese coffees, dress up in traditional Vietnamese clothing for a photo shoot,
5
and even make our own lotus tea from scratch.
6
Did you know the lotus is Vietnam's national flower?
7
By the end of the video, you'll understand why it's so important to Vietnamese culture.
8
about Vietnam, don't forget to check out my Ultimate Vietnam Guidebook in the description box below.
9
And now, let's start with one of the most iconic Vietnamese coffee.
10
Cafe Trứng the Egg Coffee.
11
Bye.
12
Vietnamese egg coffee was invented by Nguyễn Văn Giang in Hanoi
13
in 1946 during a milk shortage using whipped egg yolk instead of milk.
14
That sounds strange, right?
15
But trust me, it's very good.
16
First, you put about 25g of Robusta coffee in the Fint filter.
17
Give it a little shake to balance the coffee.
18
then brew it for a couple of minutes.
19
You can use this fin if you want to have a coffee party for 10 people.
20
But if you're feeling introverted, you can use the regular fin like this one.
21
While waiting, whisk the egg yolk with condensed milk for 3 -5 minutes until thick and fluffy.
22
Squeeze some lime to add depth.
23
Once it's done, scoop the egg cream into an empty warm cup, then pour the coffee into the middle.
24
Finish it off by caramelizing the top with a kitchen torch. And voila!
25
Let's give it a taste.
26
Have you ever had a coffee before?
27
No. No?
28
Yeah?
29
This is my first time.
30
Did you like it?
31
Yeah.
32
It's like dessert, like chiamisu.
33
Right?
34
The second type of coffee is the salt coffee.
35
Same concept.
36
Mix whipping cream, condensed milk, and a small pinch of salt until smooth and slightly foamy.
37
Pour the coffee into a cup, then top with the salted cream and cocoa powder.
38
Stir slightly or drink in layers.
39
Fun fact: Caffe Muay was created in Huế and became famous for balancing the bitterness of the coffee with a creamy, slightly salty flavor.
40
Last but not least, one of my favorite coffees is the coconut coffee.
41
Super easy to make, you just need to blend coconut milk, condense milk, pour the blended coconut mixture into the glass and add the coffee on top and serve cold.
42
It is so yummy.
43
And this is my hand after drinking three cups of coffee this morning.
44
By the way, I'm creating the Vietnamese Coffee Series starting this month to help you learn more about Vietnamese coffee.
45
as well as helping you discover the best coffee spots in Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi and other parts of Vietnam.
46

47
A cup of coffee can cost you $2.
48
but hitting the subscribe button is free.
49
So do it now.
50
To move from point A to point B, you can walk.
51
But if you want to save your travel time and enjoy all the activities, I highly recommend getting an eSIM with a strong internet connection to book a healing service.
52
One of the eSIMs that I recommend to my friends and family members is Sealy, who is also our sponsor for today's video.
53
I've been using Sealy for almost 3 years now, and what I love the most about Sealy is that they provide affordable plans in over 200 destinations.
54
Whether you travel globally or regionally, you'll always have the strong connection wherever you go.
55
Plus, it's very easy to install and activate.
56
You can just go to Settings, Cellular and activate your new eSIM.
57
After a few seconds, your eSIM is activated and ready to be used immediately.
58
With Celli, an eSIM can be only installed once.
59
Plus, having an eSIM can save you a ton of money on roaming fees.
60
I asked Silly to give my dear followers 15 % discount on Silly data plan.
61
Download Silly at silly .com /pho and apply the code - So at the checkout and you'll thank me later.
62
Now, Let's move on to the next activity.
63
When coming to Vietnam, you definitely need to take photos in traditional Vietnamese clothing.
64
The beautiful dress I'm wearing is called ao dai and there are styles for both men and women.
65
I took my photos at Gão Nô Studio not only because they have the cutest cat, but they also prepare foot massages, face masks for glowing skin,
66
snacks and tea to make the whole the outfit and the accessories,
67
does your makeup to match the look and styles your hair as well.
68
VIP experience.
69
This is my final look.
70
What do you think?
71
So I just got my hair and my makeup done.
72
We're moving to the destination to take some outside picture and I'm with the team right now.

99

100

101
Yeah, very good.
102
One, two, three, go.
103
Okay, so we just finished our shooting today.
104
Thank you so much guys for helping me.
105
Bye!
106
Inside this leaf, There's a lotus flower.
107
Inside this lotus flower, there's tea.
108
And I'm drinking some lotus tea right now.
109
And let's go back 24 hours ago to learn how to make lotus tea.
110
I came to a lotus tea workshop hidden above the pho
111
restaurant in Vietnam to learn how one of the country's most unique and luxurious teas is made.
112
And what surprised me is that making lotus tea isn't just about brewing tea, it's an art that requires a lot of patience and skills.
113
Before today, I thought lotus tea was simply tea with lotus flavoring.
114
Turns out I was completely wrong.
115
The workshop begins with something that looks simple: a lotus flower.
116
But here is the fun fact: the lotus is Vietnam's national flower and is deeply connected to Vietnamese culture.
117
Even though it grows in muddy water, it blooms beautifully above the surface.
118
That's why many Vietnamese people see it as a symbol of resilience, purity and rising above challenges.
119
Another crazy fact is that the authentic lotus tea is extremely time -consuming to make.
120
Some traditional teas are scented by placing green tea inside fresh lotus flowers overnight, so the tea can absorb the natural fragrance.
121
And for the premium lotus tea, workers have to collect tiny lotus stemnens by hand.
122
Sometimes, thousands of flowers are needed for just one kilogram of tea.
123
That's one reason authentic lotus tea can be surprisingly expensive.
124
Now is my turn.
125
I'm giving fresh lotus flowers and tea leaves and honestly, I thought it would be easy.
126
It wasn't.
127
The process requires carefully opening the flower without damaging the delicate petals.
128
Every movement feels like I'm performing flower surgery.
129
As I start working, I realize why Lotus Tea has been considered a luxury for centuries is incredibly labor -intensive.
130
There are no shortcuts if you want the natural aroma.
131
And while I'm struggling not to destroy my flower, the instructor makes it look so effortless.
132
So I decided to tell her the story of why the tea cup doesn't have a handle to sound smarter
133
so I can make it up for my skills.
134
Tea is from China, so like they designed a cup that didn't have the handle.
135
is because they know that if the tea is hot and you can't like pick it up, that means it's hot.
136
So don't drink it yet.
137
You might burn your tongue.
138
Yes.
139
But then if you hold it and then, oh, it's warm enough.
140
hot enough and then your fingers can handle it, it means like your tea is the perfect temperature to drink.
141
The ideology is like trust your gut, trust your feeling.
142
Yeah.
143
yeah don't depend on the tool or technology trust your feelings After preparing the lotus flower,
144
we begin the scenting process.
145
The room is filled with a subtle floral fragrance.
146
not overpowering like perfume, but soft and elegant.
147
What's interesting is that Lotus Tea doesn't actually taste strongly like flowers.
148
Instead, it has a delicate aroma that makes the tea feel smoother and more refined.
149
At this point, I finally understand why people are willing to pay so much for it.
150
But my favorite part of the workshop is in making the tea.
151
It's hearing the stories behind it.
152
Lotus tea has been enjoyed in Vietnam for generations, especially in Hanoi, where some families have passed down the craft for decades.
153
What started as drink eventually became part of Vietnamese cultural heritage.
154
And that's something I love about experiences like this You're not just learning a skill, you're learning the history.
155
the traditions and the stories that make a place unique.
156
Now comes to the moment of truth.
157
We brew the tea.
158
After all that work, I'm honestly nervous.
159
What if it tastes exactly like regular tea?
160
Luckily, it doesn't.
161
The aroma is incredibly delicate, almost calming.
162
It's the kind of tea that makes you slow down and actually pay attention to what you're drinking.
163
And knowing how much effort went into every cup somehow makes it taste even better.
164
So if you're visiting Vietnam and looking for something beyond food tours and sightseeing, I highly recommend trying a Lotus Tea Workshop.
165
Not only will you learn about fascinating tradition, but you'll also gain a whole new appreciation for what's inside the simple cup of tea.
166
And next time you see Lotus Tea on the menu, you'll know there's an incredible amount of craftsmanship behind every sip.
167
This is only part one for the unique things to do in Ho Chi Minh City.
168
Make sure you subscribe for part 2.
169
Thank you for watching and I'll see you guys in the next videos.
170
Bye.
Tại sao nên luyện nói với video này?
Khi luyện nói tiếng Anh, việc tiếp cận với các video thực tế như video về những trải nghiệm độc đáo ở Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh sẽ mang lại cho bạn nhiều lợi ích. Đầu tiên, bạn sẽ được nghe cách nói chuyện tự nhiên của người bản xứ, cũng như các ngữ điệu và cách diễn đạt thân mật. Điều này giúp cải thiện kỹ năng giao tiếp của bạn, từ phát âm đến việc diễn đạt ý tưởng một cách tự tin hơn. Bằng cách luyện nói theo video, bạn sẽ cảm nhận được sự phong phú trong cách sử dụng ngôn ngữ, từ đó khuyến khích bạn áp dụng những gì học được vào thực tế.
Ngữ pháp & Biểu thức trong Ngữ cảnh
- “Did you know…” - Câu hỏi này rất phổ biến trong giao tiếp, giúp khơi gợi sự tò mò. Bạn có thể luyện tập để hỏi người khác về sở thích hay kiến thức của họ.
- “Let’s start with…” - Cấu trúc này giúp bạn hướng dẫn cuộc hội thoại, rất hữu ích khi thuyết trình hoặc giới thiệu một chủ đề.
- “Once it’s done…” - Sử dụng khi mô tả quy trình, giúp bạn nói về các bước trong một hoạt động, từ nấu ăn đến làm thủ công.
- “Have you ever…?” - Câu hỏi này giúp mở đầu cuộc trò chuyện và tạo không gian cho người khác chia sẻ trải nghiệm của họ.
Những cái bẫy phát âm phổ biến
Khi nghe và học từ video, bạn có thể gặp một số từ hoặc cụm từ khó phát âm. Ví dụ, từ “coffee” có thể bị phát âm không đúng nếu bạn không chú ý đến ngữ điệu. Tương tự, cụm “Vietnamese coffee” có thể gặp khó khăn khi bạn không phân biệt được âm thanh nhấn mạnh trong từng từ. Để cải thiện, hãy thử shadow speak theo video, lặp lại từng câu để nhấn mạnh sự đúng đắn trong phát âm. Ngoài ra, việc lắng nghe các đoạn ngắn và luyện tập theo sẽ giúp bạn tránh được những cạm bẫy phát âm này.
Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?
Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
