I've been living in Ho Chi Minh City for close to a decade now.

我在胡志明市已經生活了近十年。

This really is like the steak and eggs in Vietnam.

這真的就像越南的牛排和雞蛋。

I love Vietnamese cuisine because it like crosses lines all the time.

我喜歡越南菜，因為它總是跨越界限。

It's somewhere in between, and I think that's really exciting when you see dishes like that.

它介於兩者之間，當你看到這樣的菜餚時，我覺得這真的很令人興奮。

Let me show you a few spots I love to go to in my downtime.

讓我向你們介紹幾個我閒暇時喜歡去的景點。

So this is my family's go-to spot for breakfast.

是以，這裡是我家早餐的首選地點。

So this is ba na, ba is beef, and na means to dodge because the pan is so hot and it's like sizzling, you kind of have to dodge out of the way.

所以這是 ba na，ba 是牛肉的意思，na 是躲閃的意思，因為鍋太熱了，就像在噝噝作響，你得躲開。

Luckily, this one's not too dangerous this morning.

幸運的是，今天早上這輛車並不太危險。

This is a very popular thing for a lot of people to get, and for me to get, especially because it really reminds me of like a Western-type breakfast.

很多人都喜歡吃這個，我也喜歡吃，尤其是因為它讓我想起了西式早餐。

So it's something that's easy for all foreigners to eat and all kids to eat as well.

是以，所有外國人和孩子們都能輕鬆吃到。

We got like the standard plate, which is just egg, sliced beef, and pate, and then we get some crispy bread, and then we can season up our beef.

我們有一個標準的盤子，裡面只有雞蛋、牛肉片和肉醬，然後是一些脆麵包，然後我們就可以給牛肉調味了。

So typically, we'll put a little bit of soy sauce on top.

是以，我們通常會在上面放一點醬油。

And I just love this thing because it totally gives me the American breakfast with bacon and eggs.

我很喜歡這東西，因為它能讓我吃到有培根和雞蛋的美式早餐。

And with the bread, you can either make like a breakfast sandwich or just dip as you go.

有了麵包，你既可以把它做成早餐三明治，也可以直接蘸著吃。

And I always love to get fresh green tea here.

我總是喜歡在這裡喝到新鮮的綠茶。

On Vietnam, pretty much at every single restaurant, the standard drink is not going to be water.

在越南，幾乎每家餐廳的標準飲料都不會是水。

It's always going to be da-da or iced tea.

I love iced tea, so it always works out for me.

我喜歡喝冰茶，所以每次都能喝到。

Something I always appreciate about living in Ho Chi Minh City is people are not afraid to relax.

在胡志明市生活，我最欣賞的一點就是人們不怕放鬆。

Part of like the coffee culture here is people just chill for hours and hours just relaxing at the coffee shop.

這裡的咖啡文化之一，就是人們在咖啡館裡一放鬆就是幾個小時。

Absolutely, my biggest addiction right now is cafe suet, or Vietnamese iced coffee.

當然，我現在最大的癮頭是羊油咖啡，也就是越南冰咖啡。

It's so good, it's so bitter, it's so strong, and then it has the sweetness from the condensed milk in there.

它非常好喝，味道苦澀濃郁，還帶有煉乳的甜味。

I love the robusta coffee beans that they use because this brings like such a deftness to the coffee.

我喜歡他們使用的羅布斯塔咖啡豆，因為這給咖啡帶來了靈氣。

Compared to what I would typically drink in the West.

與我在西方通常會喝的酒相比。

And it's fun too, because even when you're done, you can just put your iced tea or your da-da in your cup and get a second glass.

這也很有趣，因為即使你喝完了，也可以把冰茶或 da-da 放進杯子裡，再喝第二杯。

And it's so cool in Ho Chi Minh City because there's so many different styles of coffee shops.

胡志明市的咖啡館風格各異，非常酷。

So no matter what you're into, there's something for you.

是以，無論你喜歡什麼，這裡都有適合你的東西。

If you want something that's a little more chill, there's absolutely that.

如果你想要更冷酷一點的，那絕對沒問題。

Or you want something that has a lot of koi fish, they have that as well.

或者您想要有大量錦鯉的地方，他們也有。

So this is a spot for me that is something that I bring my family to all the time just because it's so fun.

是以，對我來說，這是我經常帶家人來的地方，因為它非常有趣。

We could sit here for an hour and a half.

我們可以在這裡坐一個半小時。

Something I like to do with my kids, is we put a little bit in our hands and then we hold it in a fist and go in there.

我喜歡和孩子們一起做的一件事是，我們在手上放一點，然後握成拳頭，再把它放進去。

不過，我總是需要更多的食物。

So this place is really cool because not only do they have one of the best bowls of bun thit nuong in the city, they also have some really interesting dishes like this.

這個地方真的很酷，因為他們不僅有全城最好吃的一碗 bun thit nuong，還有一些非常有趣的菜餚，比如這個。

This is a grilled beef wrapped in la lo leaf, which is kind of like a very fragrant leaf.

這是用拉羅葉包裹的烤牛肉，拉羅葉就像一片非常香的葉子。

And the banh hoi that it's served with is a very special noodle.

與之搭配的 Banh Hoi 是一種非常特別的麵條。

One thing that's really different in Vietnam is there's a lot of different kinds of rice paper.

越南有一點與眾不同，那就是宣紙的種類很多。

Here, there's a lot of very thin styles that are more delicate so you don't have to wet them.

這裡有很多非常薄的款式，比較精緻，所以不用弄溼。

I'm just gonna kind of brush some of the water on there and then we'll just build a base.

我先在上面刷點水，然後再打底。

So you can start with your rice noodle called banh hoi, which is like a webbing rice noodle.

所以，你可以先吃一種叫 "Banh Hoi "的米粉，它就像一種網狀米粉。

Once I got a good little layer, I can add my protein.

鋪好一層後，我就可以加入蛋白質了。

And I'm gonna use two here and make a little bit of a bigger wrap.

我要在這裡用兩個，做一個大一點的包裹。

And then we gotta get that first roll nice and tight and we'll fold from there.

然後我們要把第一卷弄得又緊又好，再從那裡開始摺疊。

A lot of times I see foreigners try to put the sauce in the wrap.

很多時候，我看到外國人試圖把醬汁放進包子裡。

If you mess up, you can always get another piece of rice paper and wrap it again, double it.

如果你弄砸了，可以再拿一張宣紙重新包起來，包兩倍。

This one is the bun thit nuong, which is a round rice noodle with grilled meat.

這個是 bun thit nuong，它是一種烤肉圓米粉。

And I got the dak beat style, which is like the special style.

It has a grilled pork sausage and then it has a fresh spring roll as well.

We're gonna add some chili to the fish sauce if you want it.

如果你想的話，我們會在魚露中加入一些辣椒。

And usually we'll just put the fish sauce right on the noodles.

通常我們會把魚露直接淋在麵條上。

So I'm just gonna dump all of it on there and we'll mix it up.

所以我就把所有的都倒上去，然後再混合起來。

This has some fresh lettuce on the bottom, some bean sprouts, some herbs, the fresh rice noodle, and then the chili.

底部有新鮮生菜、豆芽、香草、新鮮米粉，然後是辣椒。

One thing that just makes Asian food better is just like the contrast and the balance that goes on.

亞洲菜之所以好吃，就在於它的對比和平衡。

And this dish is such a good representation because it's served at different temperatures.

這道菜就是很好的代表，因為它可以在不同的溫度下食用。

You have the noodles and the lettuce that is room temperature.

You have the freshly grilled meat and the spring roll, which is hot.

And then you have all these different textures.

然後，你就會看到各種不同的紋理。

You have the crunchy spring roll, the kind of chewy pork, the soft sausage, and then all the different textures from the vegetables as well.

It's a very complex but refreshing bowl of noodles.

People are always asking me like, how do I find new spots?

Sometimes I search on Google, sometimes I'm just driving.

And this spot I drove by one day, I saw a lot of people, I pulled over, and to me it ended up being one of the best bowls in the city.

有一天，我開車路過這個地方，看到有很多人，就把車停在路邊，結果這裡成了這座城市最棒的碗之一。

I was reluctant to show you this spot because I love it so much and I don't want it to get any busier, but it's a good one.

我很不情願給你們看這個景點，因為我太愛它了，我不想讓它變得更繁忙，但這是個好地方。

So of course as a chef, my next spot has gotta be more food.
