Hello Ramona.
First morning in Hanoi. We are going to
this coffee shop recommendation I got.
So far, we're just enjoying the sights
and the smells and the sounds. We're
kind of in the thick of it. We're in the
old corner and yeah, just a lot of
motorbikes, a lot of amazing looking
food.
[Music]
Okay, a lovely subscriber told me that
this coffee shop is a hidden gem and I
love me some hidden gems. So, naturally,
I had to start strong for my first
coffee in Vietnam.
Oh, that's great. Thank you so much. The
coffee is at the bottom. You can try the
cream first and then just scoop the
coffee with the cream.
Thank you. Beautiful. Looks great.
Oh my god. And then I do it with the
coffee.
Wow, it's insanely
[Music]
good. So, I realized I didn't even
explain what I got. I got an egg cream
coffee. They take egg yolk and whip it
up with sweetened condensed milk and add
it to espresso. A little mocha chocolate
powder on top. Probably one of the best
things I've ever tasted.
[Music]
Get out.
And here we are.
Not my My chicken thigh. Now I'm
going to dress it up with all the garlic
in the world. Do you want some? No,
thank you. All right. I swear it's
cooler on the inside, but that's what
we're saying. Actually, it's cool on the
outside. It has its own charm.
All right. We are out walking around
again after going back to the Airbnb to
rest for a little bit after the fur and
the walking around and the chaos. We're
just meandering until we get to the
Hanoi Hilton which is the P prison or it
was a P prison during the Vietnam War.
But for now, we got little ice cream
cones which converted to what? 80 cents
each. Yes. Everything here is very
cheap. That's awesome.
[Music]
All right. All right. And about the
amount of time it took us to eat those
teeny tiny little ice cream cones, we
got another dessert or another dessert
station popped up. And anyway, I've
never ever had these. I've seen them all
over social media. I don't know where
they originate from. TBH. They're
strawberries crystallized in like a a
hot sugar mold. Really? Yeah. Wow.
I mean, obviously really good. The
strawberries themselves are really good,
too. Mhm.
[Music]
Hey there. A lot of sanding. My back
kind of hurt. And we need a little
refreshment. I like to try weird things.
So, I got this melon milk soda. It is so
good. If you like key lime laqua or
lemon cello laqua, which kind of has
that creamy flavor, you would love this.
And it's zero calorie,
[Music]
too. We just got a drink, hung out with
some friends for a couple hours, and now
probably meander and find a food spot.
Well, we'll see.
Deciding. Chicken udon. Cucumber in my
belly. Edamame in my belly. Fantastic.
It's a wet
wipe. What's up vlog? We're going to get
bonies since we've done fa. We're going
to do buncha um later today. Hang on.
Let me cross the road here. But for now,
we're going to do boni street bomb. It's
going to be awesome. What's up, vlog? We
got our Bonese. This one mysteriously
has a bite taken out of it already. Not
very cool of the people who made them.
It was me. I took the bite. Soaking it
in. Life on a stick. Life on a bon.
Cheers.
[Music]
All right, we just walked down this cute
little alleyway. The crowded area is
right over there, but it's actually kind
of wide over here. Anyways, we're going
to another hidden coffee spot. Go
straight and turn left. Okay, we didn't
actually end up getting a coffee here
because somehow they didn't have the
classic Vietnamese style coffee we were
wanting, but I'm just so into these
hidden nook and cranny coffee shops and
still wanted to show you.
[Music]
walked into a little ceramic shop and
everything here is hand
painted. Like everything. And then I
thought this was funny. I can't get
away. We're at the train street where a
train sometimes comes directly through.
You know, I'm not sure going to come by
given that they're putting seating
directly on the truck. I say no one's
not scheduled now. Let's go. But it's
pretty cool.
[Music]
All right. This is B-52 Lake. That's a
B-52 bomber that was shot down during
the Vietnam
[Music]
War. The chaos leading up to the train
Everyone getting their orders.
[Music]
Okay, the train is coming in like 2 - 2
minutes and she just asked us to angle
our legs this way because it comes this
close to us. Okay, I heard the rumble. I
don't see it before I think 2 minutes.
It's getting smushed. Yeah, it's Korean.
Okay. All right. We used to do that as a
kid or me and my brother.
Oh my god.
[Music]
Oh my god.
[Music]
What's your reaction?
Wa. It's still hot. Look at that. We got
the coin in Korea and we smashed it in
Vietnam. That's really cool. Okay, it
was hard to tell in the video, but I'm
not kidding. It probably came to like
what? Here. probably about a foot away.
Yeah. Wow.
Crazy. Crazy. Okay. So, after the train,
we walked back down cuz we were here
earlier and I found him. I went store to
store and asked if if you've seen this
puppy and he said, "Yes, he's sleeping
right here." So, I we literally just
came to find the most wanted puppy. Hey,
puppy. Lua. Lua. Puppy teeth. Puppy
teeth. Puppy's teeth. Puppy belly. Puppy
belly. A 20 months old. Hi little one.
Okay. We were having a very hospitable
experience. We came looking for Lua and
we found her. I thought she was a he and
then I investigated further. She is a
she. She wants to play. And then the
shop owner came and brought us some
black bean sprouts just to munch on
while we play with his
trophy. I'm
happy. Oh, lua
lua puppy on. It was about in this
moment after the train rushing by and
playing with the puppy and crossing
these chaotic streets that I realized
Hanoi reminded me of why I love New
York. And I thought jaywalking in New
York was bad. It's got that same wild
energy that keeps you on your toes, but
set against a completely different
cultural background. In some ways, I
felt right at home, and in other ways, I
couldn't have felt further from home.
All right, after that very exhilarating
experience, which woke me up because I
think my jet lag was hitting kind of bad
like an hour ago. Now, we're going to Oh
my god, I hope we get in. It's But it's
where Anthony Bourdain and Obama ate
together. And I have no sense of if
we'll be able to get in or it's going to
be an insane line or you need to get a
reservation 3 months in advance. I don't
know. Guess we'll find out. Here we are.
Oh my god. It looks not that
crazy. That was Obama. All right, guys.
Just walk right in. No problem. New York
can never. So, we got the traditional
chowo. This is what Obama got, but uh
I'm not quite as hungry as he was. So,
take a look. My mom, while I was in the
bathroom, just read that I guess you
take noodles, dip it into the sauce. I'm
gonna add
obviously a lot of this garlic to it.
Let's see what it's all about.
Start small. I'm trying it just for the
flavor.
Flavorful. Here's when Anthony Boude and
Obama were here.
And now
[Music]
[Music]
me. Okay. On the right. Uh, this is the
Lia Bridge. Lia Bridge is the oldest
bridge in Hanoi. All right. We are in
the bus on the way to Hong Bay. Got some
coffee. Got a little hotel breakfast
this morning. Normally I'm against hotel
breakfast. Like I like to go out in the
city and not waste one of my meals on
not getting kind of authentic city
thing. But it was really good. Included
like unlimited perfectly ripe cut
mango. Incredible.
[Music]
What's up, vlog? Here we are in Hong
Bay. Here is
mother. All right, we're in the caves. I
haven't really thought to film because
it is so touristy. Like, we're basically
waiting in line, but this is a little
bit more open and it is really, really
cool what it is. This is huge cave
system on one of the
islands.
[Music]
Yeah. What is it? Hey,
Taylor. I'm
relaxing. Mother enjoying a Vietnamese
beer.
Living life pretty good. I have myself
some club soda.
[Music]
That is the turtle of the long bay. This
is the other one.
[Music]
[Music]
All right, I'm about to go climb one of
these tall mountains in Hong Bay to get
a panoramic view at the top. I know it's
a lot of steps up and very very steep,
but I hope and I think there's going to
be enough people in line where it just
kind of moves slow and won't be too
hard. Anyways, let's do
[Music]
this. And there's my
mom. She didn't join me for this one,
but it was awesome. Let's get back on
the boat. We're at the end of our
cruise. This is the sunset party. We got
some snacks. These are really, really
good. And then about a 3-hour drive back
to Hanoi once we dock. It's been really,
really nice. Would highly recommend
coming to Halong Bay if you're in Hanoi.
It's like a dayong thing. You can make
it longer, but we did the dayong thing.
I don't know what else to say. They kind
of they kind of did it all with me.
Well, I didn't really get a good outro
for Vietnam video, but here we are in
the airport bright and early heading to
Taipei. Any final thoughts, mother? It's
been a wonderful trip so far. I hope
Taipei is just as good. Over and out.
It's kind of giving iceberg a Titanic.
Hopefully
not. It's a cucumber. It's a cucumber.
