00:05 Saigon is well known for the authentic and fresh food that we offer.

00:10 We buy vegetables three times a week to ensure the freshness of our vegetables.

00:18 We have Vietnamese sources, especially the bread and the vegetables.

00:24 We have suppliers.

00:26 Our best sellers are Goy Korn or fresh spring rolls.

00:30 We also have the original and authentic Pho bowl, beef noodles.

00:35 We also have seafood noodle soup.

00:37 [MUSIC]

00:42 This is so colorful in the cold and in front of me.

00:45 And we'll be starting off with a Vietnamese staple food, their noodle soup, more commonly known as Pho.

00:52 Is it still hot? This is the first thing we'll put in.

00:55 [MUSIC]

00:57 It's still dripping.

00:58 [MUSIC]

01:04 Just to share, recently, when I came from Vietnam,

01:09 in the central part of Vietnam, in between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh or Saigon,

01:15 it's not that different.

01:18 The taste is very authentic.

01:20 The noodles are soft and firm, because these are the ideal noodles for this soup.

01:28 And the Pho is there, which is light and delicious.

01:34 [MUSIC]

01:40 We also have another soup here, this is the Saigon seafood soup.

01:44 It's more colorful, I can see tomatoes and this is clam.

01:51 Okay, let's taste it.

01:54 [MUSIC]

02:01 I'm sweating a bit, there's a bit of a burn.

02:04 Next one, it's still vegetables.

02:07 Of course, it's not Vietnamese if it's not vegetables.

02:10 This is Vietnamese fresh spring rolls.

02:14 Then you dip it either in the fish sauce or in the peanut sauce.

02:21 Ooh, there's a lot.

02:23 I think something common with what I've eaten so far,

02:26 out of the three I've tasted, all of them are fresh while eating.

02:29 You won't get full right away, no matter how much you eat.

02:33 Let's taste it. It just looks like lumpia at first glance,

02:36 but inside it's all vegetables and meat, but it still tastes different.

02:42 Let's open it. It's cracked open.

02:45 You won't be able to eat it like this.

02:46 We have lettuce here, you'll wrap it here.

02:50 I dipped it in vinegar with cucumber, chili.

02:55 Yes, okay, let's taste it.

02:58 Mmm.

03:04 You can actually taste the meat,

03:06 but the vegetables are still on top because there's more.

03:09 If you have vegetables inside, you still wrap it with vegetables.

03:13 So you feel less guilt when you eat, even if there's meat inside.

03:19 Also, there's mushroom, which is also healthy.

03:21 In Vietnam, they call this Banh Xeo,

03:24 which is basically, there's noodles, pork inside,

03:29 and it's the same way of eating as the fried egg roll earlier.

03:34 You also wrap it in lettuce together with cucumber.

03:38 Okay.

03:40 Mmm, it smells good.

03:43 I'm on my way to my healthier 2024.

03:53 This one is Banh Mi, their sandwich.

03:58 This one is more famous, right?

04:00 Because we have bread, we can't go without coffee.

04:02 So this is Caffè Suano, their hot coffee.

04:06 Condensed milk is at the bottom, yes.

04:09 That's the distinct thing about Vietnamese coffee.

04:12 Mmm.

04:19 Let's sip some coffee.

04:22 It's delicious.

04:26 We made it ourselves, pomelo salad.

04:28 Mmm.

04:39 I would order this.

04:42 I think this is the best place in Vietnam because we have students,

04:49 we have senior citizens,

04:52 they love our Vietnamese food because they are seniors and they like vegetables.

04:58 Every Tuesday and Wednesday, we offer our lunch promos special.

05:03 Although it's only small versions, it's filling.

05:07 So our students like it.

05:09 It's good.
