we're going deep into the street food scene of Saigon.
-
This Vietnamese street food video
-
is packed with delicacies you're gonna love,
-
and some you might not,

but you're definitely gonna want to see them,

Let's go.
-
Alright, so check it out.
-
It's Trevor James, I just got into Saigon, Vietnam.
-
I'm so pumped because today we're going
-
for a full-on street food tour.
-
Let's check it out.
-
(upbeat music)
-
This is it.
-
Saigon.
-
The home of southern Vietnamese street food delicacies.
-
As you travel from Hanoi down south to Saigon overland,
-
you can find different street foods in each city,
-
and we came to search for the best street food in Vietnam.
-
So, our final stop was in Saigon.
-
Sometimes, you just gotta hit the street,
-
and eat at the random hole-in-the-walls
-
to get a true feel for the local street food scene,
-
and that's exactly what we did.
-
So, make sure to watch all the way until the end,
-
because we found a ton of unique
-
southern Vietnamese street food delicacies
-
that you're not gonna wanna miss.
-
Let's eat.
-
Alright, so we just got in to Saigon
-
and the streets are packed.
-
There's so much food around and I'm hungry.
-
Bright and early.
-
We're gonna go see what we can find.
-
First up, we found a huge bustling alleyway morning market
-
offering everything you can imagine.
-
Here, we were searching for something delicious,
-
and after a quick walk,
-
found some back alley pho that blew our minds.
-
It is so busy in here.
-
This is the morning rush.
-
You can see everyone is going to work.
-
All these motorbikes.
-
It's like a sea of motorbikes.
-
Wow.
-
Look at this.
-
It's all here.
-
Now, this is usually where you find the good stuff.
-
All the action.
-
Whoa, look at those squid.
-
Oh, yeah.
-
Cleaning the fish.
-
This lady's got a nice of bowl of soup with her chicken.
-
Wow.
-
It is busy.
-
Let's go see if we can get anything to eat.
-
So, we're gonna go even deeper into an alleyway,
-
see what we can get back in the deep tunnels of Saigon.
-
Wow, here we go guys.
-
(speaking Vietnamese)
-
Pho?
-
- Pho.
-
- Pho.
-
(speaking Vietnamese)
-
- This is where you find the soul of street food,
-
deep in the alleyways.
-
And this is where you can find the real flavors
-
of the countries you visit.
-
And here, deep in the Saigon streets,
-
you can taste your first bowl of pho
-
and be blown away with the flavor.
-
The broth.
-
(Speaking Vietnamese)
-
Ooh, I think that's a little oyster sauce,
-
some chili.
-
(speaking Vietnamese)
-
Wow, look at this.
-
Deep in the back alleys of Saigon
-
we just found a random pho joint.
-
Oh yeah, she put in some hoisin,
-
a little chili,
-
lots of vermicelli rice noodles.
-
Oh, some pretty rare beef.
-
Oh, wow!
-
Look at that.
-
That is gonna start the day off right.
-
Wow.
-
(speaking Vietnamese)
-
Whoa.
-
(speaking Vietnamese)
-
That is just worth the trip here.
-
That broth is quite peppery
-
and really, really rich,
-
complex and nutritious.
-
Oh, that beef flavor.
-
Oh, pho.
-
Oh, that is real street pho, here.
-
This is what it's all about,
-
going deep into the street scene.
-
And after that incredibly flavorsome pho,
-
we continued back to the market
-
to see what else we can find
-
and couldn't help but stop for a durian,
-
the incredibly pungent and stinky fruit
-
that's banned from many places in Asia
-
for it's distinct stench.
-
Oh, look at these.
-
(laughing)
-
Oh.
-
Wow.
-
(speaking Vietnamese)
-
There it is.
-
My first Vietnamese durian.
-
(woman speaking Vietnamese)
-
Okay. Let's try it out.
-
Okay.
-
Wow.
-
(speaking Vietnamese)
-
Okay.
-
Vietnamese durian.
-
Wow.
-
Oh, yeah.
-
Oh, yeah. Look at that.
-
Oh, that is a tender one.
-
That is soft.
-
I prefer soft durian,
-
so let's try it out.
-
Oh.
-
(speaking Vietnamese)
-
Oh, that is actually really good.
-
It is so soft,
-
creamy, custard-y,
-
and sweet.
-
So sweet.
-
I love it when it's this soft mushiness.
-
That is the best.
-
(speaking Vietnamese)
-
Bye.
-
Amazing.
-
After that potent, custard-y durian,
-
we continued exploring the market
-
and found another classic dish.
-
The bun rieu.
-
A super smooth tomato and crab broth
-
rice noodle soup that's absolutely to die for.
-
It's found over the street corners of Saigon
-
and you'll love it on your first sip.
-
She's just making one after the other of bun rieu.
-
There's the vermicelli.
-
There it is.
-
I think that's like a crab cake
-
or a pork cake with some herbs in it,
-
wrapped around a banana leaf.
-
And then, tofu puffs,
-
tomatoes, blood cubes,
-
and I think that broth is a pork broth.
-
Or sorry. I think that broth is a crab broth
-
with a little bit of ground pork
-
and freshwater crab.
-
Oh, blood cubes.
-
(speaking Vietnamese)
-
Nice.
-
Wow.
-
Oh, and then here's the herbs.
-
Nice.
-
(speaking Vietnamese)
-
Oh, yeah.
-
This--
-
I've been looking forward to trying this for so long.
-
We have the bun rieu.
-
Oh, wow.
-
This is a classic dish.
-
(speaking Vietnamese)
-
Fish sauce?
-
(speaking Vietnamese)
-
Okay.
-
Oh, that's like a fermented fish sauce.
-
Oh, just a little.
-
You gotta be careful with that.
-
And then, I'm gonna add some basil, mint,
-
I think there's banana blossom, bean sprouts.
-
Oh, wow.
-
And this is like a freshwater crab base broth.
-
Mix it up.
-
Oh, you can just smell the crab.
-
That crab broth is just infiltrating the nostrils.
-
Mmm.
-
That broth.
-
It's like a light crab broth
-
with a bit of tomato-infused flavor in there.
-
It's good.
-
- Really?
-
- Yeah. I like that.
-
Really nice. - Yes.
-
- Oh, the crab flavor is good.
-
Vietnam has blown my mind.
-
Dish after dish of pure joy.
-
This is what it's about.
-
After that delicious street food stall,
-
we made our way for another street food lunch.
-
Only one meal later,
-
we'll be meeting up with our friend, Sonny,
-
who took us to eat some of Saigon's craziest street snacks.
-
But first, we dine on the street
-
enjoying a classic Saigon dish,
-
the Com Tam broken rice specialty,
-
where broken rice grains are served alongside lemongrass
-
and garlic marinated pork and chicken.
-
You'll fall in love.
-
It's just dish after dish of joy here in Saigon.
-
And when there's smoke,
-
you know it's gonna be good.
-
Let's go see what we've got up here.
-
I think this is Com Tam,
-
south Vietnamese broken rice specialty.
-
Oh, yeah. Let's go try it out.
-
(speaking Vietnamese)
-
Com Tam.
-
- Com Tam?
-
- Com Tam.
-
(speaking Vietnamese)
-
Wow. Look at this.
-
(speaking Vietnamese)
-
Oh, yeah. Look at all this chicken on the grill.
-
Oh, wow.
-
Con Tam.
-
(speaking Vietnamese)
-
Wow.
-
(speaking Vietnamese)
-
Oh, yeah.
-
(speaking Vietnamese)
-
Okay.
-
Awesome.
-
Con Tam on the street in Saigon.
-
So, this is the broken rice.
-
We just stumbled on this one in the back streets, here.
-
I'm not sure if this is gonna be excellent or average,
-
but this is the broken rice.
-
The rice, actually, is like split in half.
-
It comes with this grilled chicken and pork
-
and some green onions,
-
a fried egg,
-
some pickled carrot,
-
radish, and cucumber.
-
(speaking Vietnamese)
-
Pour some nuoc cham.
-
(speaking Vietnamese)
-
Okay. Just a little.
-
Let's try it out.
-
Mmm.
-
The nuoc cham is quite sweet.
-
Oh, and you can see what they marinated in here.
-
It's like a really--
-
It's like a slightly sweet and garlicky marinade.
-
Mmm.
-
This pork is a little dry,
-
I gotta be honest,
-
but that flavor!
-
Oh, look at this with the egg.
-
That is a filling Saigon specialty.
-
Now, we're getting into the serious business.
-
I met up with my friend, Sonny,
-
who took me to try some of the craziest
-
street food that you can imagine in Saigon.
-
You won't believe what you're about to see.
-
- All right, my friend.
-
Welcome to the rainy season in Saigon.
-
- Rainy. It's wet.
