How Locals Treat You In DA NANG, VIETNAM
I'm taking you today to a very residential neighborhood to try this coffee shop yeah called Mor Ca Phe It's so random it's out of nowhere I know you were kind of confused as we were driving in here like where are you taking me but okay there's something you really like here so let's sit down and order some coffee this is what we're here for I don't know how to say it in Vietnamese like Xoi Com it's basically that green sticky rice with the coconut that you really like and I saw that they serve it here coffee looks really good too so that's order some coffee wow everything looks so good there's lotus seeds inside the sticky rice and what is on the side you think peanuts and sugar yeah peanuts and sugar delicious that's a perfect breakfast wow it's not too sweet right it's just a little bit of sugar in there the chewiness of the sticky rice the crunchiness of the peanuts and some salt it's so delicious I didn't get lotus seed on the last bite though let's see what did you end up ordering for drinks oh I got you the it's the racket coffee with orange um and you can see the orange here is like the green skinned orange and I got the salt coffee I mean you're in Da Nang you have to have salt coffee that is so delicious that is really really delicious just like you remember just like I remembered how it tastes like salted caramel latte oh that's good does it taste different it's like orange Americano but because they use a different type of orange and they use the strong um vietamese coffee it's even better really cuz usually orange Americano that I used to drink it's a bit more diluted yeah this is more full you usually say like you need more coffee taste in it so this is perfect perfect balance with orange and the coffee so this is the racket coffee orange and I was looking at what racket coffee was and it's actually that Chinese traditional pot that we see you know people go see the Chinese traditional doctor they give you the herbs and then you boil the medicine in the pot and then they pour the medicine out so they brew the coffee using the pot and not a lot of places still do this so they said this is a traditional Saigon method so you can probably find it still in Ho Chi Minh City so we're always happy to be back in Da Nang it's still you know the most livable City in Vietnam it's clean the beautiful beach it's so easy to yeah get around and it's affordable everything's like 15 minutes away from each other we are staying this time at kind of really close to My Khe Beach so we found a nice very modern looking boutique hotel called Pama Hotel it's 4minute walk to My Khe Beach or My An Beach but inside it's like it's perfect for us like a spacious room super comfortable bed downstairs they even have live music for one or two nights I think weekends maybe but it's more about the location that we really love and it's a good price I think it was under a million VND per night so we are here at the Cho Con I need to stop smoking I was talking to the owner of the cafe and I was saying which local market should we go to because there's two major ones the Han Market by the Han River and the Con Market that is only like 6 minutes from the cafe which is closer to the airport side of Da Nang he said this one he said for cheaper food cheaper prices and for more like local like where local people go this is a place to go to but if you were looking for a more beautiful Market to take photos then you go to the other one no I like this place I like where the local people go to yeah I want to get some like traditional snacks and stuff like that even though I'm not really hungry right now but we can take a look yeah I don't know where to start bunch of uh watches you want get a Rolex sunglasses I do want sunglasses though I want the round one they maybe you can find them look at all these yeah we don't need a watch I think we're in the wrong section we should go in here yeah we need to go in here so this Market is divided in many sections um just now we were in kind of the gold accessory watch section and now this seems to be where all the clothing is the textile section um there's also like dried food section indoor food section outdoor food section wet Market um is pretty typical of Asian markets I have to say that they kind of have everything in this little Center and then you find what you need I would love to take that home dried jackfruit so delicious it smells like plums so doesn't it oh yeah because they have plenty of selection of dried plums if we see a hair clip I need a hair clip too just a random thought there you can uh test your bargaining skills here in Vietnam can you please bargain for me but I see a lot of places have price tags on the items oh so it might not be that kind of Market maybe you trying to get something yeah there is something I want to get because we were at the massage place the other day and we had some of the dried Ginger it was so good so I think I want to get some dry ginger I'll ask her cuz I'm not sure oh this one is ginger yeah try it oh happy New Year Vietnam oh they eat this for New Year for New Year good very good for you oh for me m here

is is $2.87 that's very good this is $2 it's so cheap like I don't even want to bargain but my problem is I can't finish that just too much I think you can get half of it because look she's weighing

the policeman doing yeah he was just trying them I wasn't sure if it was quality control or you know he had special privilege around the market it's good yeah mhm be perfect for in the morning with

there's just so many choices here and it's all local people enjoying probably lunch hello xin chao and yeah there's like different types of things like this one oh say hi hello he just stopped in I think wanted to say hi to the camera anyway there's like noodle soup there's grill pork inside the rice paper and everything must be really fresh here because the market is just across from here and I think that one is avocado avocado and dessert this one here avocado ice cream and dessert I think we're not hungry enough to get a full meal let's get something like that okay let's go take a look what is this one here avocado smoothie oh okay okay what do you call what do you say it in uh Vietnamese kem bo is it good very good okay let me try that eat here or better to go she's already putting it in the to go cup okay thank you so much for your help byebye let's see oh wow this is a avocado it's like a smoothie but they also call it Vietnamese avocado ice cream because it's like a coconut ice cream I think with avocado smoothie it's a Danang thing I was just looking it up online it's actually a local thing coconut ice cream tastes really good oh I really like it it seems very uh avocado-y it's super avocado-y they actually grow a lot of avocado they also grow a lot of avocado in Vietnam so I think maybe that's why this is such a trendy thing and it's not expensive this is only 20,000 very refreshing I love this Market it's chaotic but it's fun and I think a lot of people want to help us which was quite neat but the family that was sitting here they're actually uh they live in the US and they came back for the holidays so that's why they they spoke really really really good English Flora is really enjoying this she's so concentrated you look like you're really enjoying it I am wow it's quite windy today isn't it it's so windy people are learning to surf over there but I don't think it would be fun when it's kind of strong the current there's no one here it doesn't look as beautiful but it's it's very relaxing and you can see there are some people who prefer to sit over here than I guess over there because there's just more people walking around yeah sometime there's music playing on that side because they set up the beach chairs and this beach here has a really nice view of the the Lady Buddha and the Pagoda over there and we did go up a couple days ago when my mom came to visit and it was her first time in Vietnam so we thought we would take her up to see the Buddha the Lady Buddha and just enjoy the atmosphere and the beautiful bonsai trees it's free entry which is very nice so we spent some time up there if you come to Danang you have to visit that place once or twice you will see it all the time when you're sitting on the beach and you would just see how majestic it looks up there and you also get the city view from there beautiful view of the whole coastline of Danang I think it's in here uh you said it's in someone's else's house yeah but okay let me pull up the map let's stop here so I wanted to bring you to try something different um this place is called Mom's Kitchen it's basically this spot but the next alley but I don't think this alley takes you there I think we have to go back everyone looks confused why we're here so go out and turn right out and right yeah I I knew it was someone's house but I didn't know it was another like part of a residential alley bringing you to all these hidden gems today huh I love it oh this one maybe yeah how did you find this place is it Chickpea Eatery yeah Chickpea Eatery oh wait there's actually a sign here Chickpea Eatery just straight straight down this alley okay let's go okay keep going straight wow this is a hidden gem all right I hope it's open me too it doesn't look open from here but the sign is out I don't understand this Vietnamese helmet it's so hard oh my God come on do you need help oh got it all right beautiful oh wait can we can we rinse off our feet then cuz we have sand on our feet we have sand okay that okay yeah I want to sit on the the inside seating yeah the inside looks cute but our feet we have too much sand on our feet the house is so cute as you can probably tell by the name of the place though Chickpea Eatery it's a vegan place vegetarian place we like to eat uh vegan every now and then yeah it just feels good and get our vegetables in and this place has really good reviews so inside the menu they actually share the story of this family and why they started a vegan restaurant this is not the first one the owner which is quite young I think she's probably our age to be honest she opened two vegan restaurants in Hoi An called Chickpea Eatery and Vegan Soul Kitchen but when covid hit I think the business was not good there so she came back home this is her parents' home for a 7-Day Retreat to you know just calm down enjoy time with family so is this her dad this is her dad yeah her dad is cooking for us and coming back here for 7 Days the family decided that you know they were enjoying cooking together eating vegan food together and I think that they are a Buddhist family as well as you can tell with the decorations so they decided to open their doors and share their home with others so offering them a chance to indulge in delicious vegan cuisine that is cooked by her parents at this location that's so awesome so it says usually you would see her mom and her sister and her dad here um but we are a bit early today like like an early dinner time so only her dad here is cooking and making the drinks for us I ordered the Tempeh Banh Mi and it has chickpea tempeh herbs cucumber fresh Vietnamese baguette and lots of sesame seeds vegetables amazing yeah I was expecting you to introduce the second dish oh but you couldn't wait I'm hungry um how was it though it was very good okay so yours is the Bun Cha Gio it's crispy spring rolls tofu veggies cucumber pickled carrots homemade sauce and with lots of love and care that one looks yummy too put the sauce all over this how was it well your face kind of tells me already the sauce is really good the peanut sauce this one is tofu now mhm hands down one of the best meal we had so far and we had a lot of yummy food mhm good job babe finding this place found two super hidden gems today that was a delicious meal and so affordable everything we ordered the one drink plus the smoothie Bowl plus the Banh Mi and the noodles all came to 190,000 Vietnamese Dong so that was $8 less than $8 it was so delicious and you easily could have had another bowl cuz it was so so good hope you enjoyed all the places we took you to uh in Da Nang it's a little bit different from our last video where we focused on more of the popular tourist places this one
