Extremely DELICIOUS Sauce(Spicy)!!! LUNCH With The DAO People of Hà Giang, VIETNAM 

So kind of a short one today, but I am curious about your thoughts. How long is an ideal video for you? Do you enjoy 15-20min 2x week or would you want 10-12 3x week? NEW VIDEOS EVERY MONDAY AND THURSDAY!! Connect with me! Website: mykindofeats.com/ Instagram: instagram.com/mykindofeats/ Facebook: facebook.com/mykindofeats/ Much love, Max

Hà Giang is my 2nd favorite place in Vietnam. Really wish I had my drone back then so I had some of those aerial shots!

Oh. My. God. I’m speechless! I’ve been a guest of the Ly Quoc Thang family many times, both at the guesthouse and as lunch stop on the way back in from the Loop. It's good to see them looking so well and characteristically full of those positive vibes. For dinner they sometimes have an amazing bbq pork with a rub containing mắc khén (IIRC). It’s one of my favorite dishes in Vietnam. Although I’m stuck in the US for now, my heart is sitting at a table with this wonderful couple ❤️

They are such sweet and kind people. The food looks amazing! Wow Max! You have really outdone yourself with this series. I’ve always been fascinated with that region of Vietnam.

Lovely people, delicious simple food, amazing scenery, and a charming host, what more could one wants?

It's so beautiful and peaceful. The food is very simple and humble. You can see the connection between Southeast Asian countries from what they are eating. I'm excited for the next episode. Hopefully more drone shots! 😄❤

my wife is nguoi viet and I have learned a little but I could not even understand what your friends were saying. But looks delicious and as always the viet people are so friendly

This was very refreshing to see u out in the country side. More of this type of videos please 🙏.

Cảnh đẹp quá, flycam thật tuyệt vời.

Seriously, this type of journey/exploration is much better (I mean, much more special) than a Saigon/Hanoi tour for sure, for Saigon/Hanoi is already famous, for you get to see more of the people from rural area and look into their kitchen, which is hard for many foreigners to find on the media, even for many Vietnamese like me. Looking at their kitchen, it reminds me of my grandmother's house in Ha Nam province (below Hanoi). Some people say that they want to unsubcribe from your channel because they are bored of watching Vietnamese food, but I'm sure that they will regret it because they can't see the beauty of place like Ha Giang, through your camera lens, everything looks wayyy more beautiful (like a movie). To be honest, a lot of Vietnamese people like me couldn't have access to see the lives of people from place like Ha Giang, that's why this video is so special. Life in big cities like Hanoi and Saigon, there are too many ways to see. 5:40, I can even hear the wind. This is the type of family meal (eat rice in a small bowl with chopsticks and many side dishes) that I've always craved for when I'm living in the States. The "Dao" people is one of the 54 ethnics groups in Vietnam.

Sướng nhất là bạn rồi . Đi khắp VN ăn đủ các loại món . Tui dân VN mà mới chỉ ra đến Nha Trang chưa đi được tới Đà Nẵng nữa .

Ở thành phố thì mình không biết nhưng ở quê,bạn vào bất cứ nhà nào,họ cũng tiếp đón niềm nở và xem như người nhà vậy.

Tôi thích yêu traveling to Vietnam through your videos Anh! Chồng và tôi đang học tiếng Việt. Tôi luôn luôn rất vui khi xem videos của Anh ☕️

Yeah, she liked our well mannered southern boy. What a simply delicious meal. The only thing missing was cornbread! 👏👏

Tôi thấy thỉnh thoảng có mấy tập thế này rất là hay!❤

Serve yourself Max!Beautyful country,friendly people,and Delicious foods!This is heaven on the Earth!

Mình là người Việt mà chưa đi được nhiều như bạn.Chúc bạn nhiều thành công hơn nữa

I hope you get to eat the version of that omelet with the ground pork in it, Max. I loved it as a child and still love it as an adult. It's interesting they ate the peanut as separate dish, as we always toast it to top salads, for dips, etc. Very friendly woman who made sure you were well-fed, just like a mother. :)

I was delighted to see the clip Max made, especially when I saw scenes in the countryside in the mountains Tôi rất vui khi xem clip của Max làm , nhất là tôi nhìn thấy được những cảnh ở vùng quê ở vùng núi

Love to see you go do RU-vid where mountain people live.👍👍👍👌👌😘😘💕💕❤️❤️

A special and wonderful video. Very touching moment for me when the host lady was scooping all the left-over food into your bowl and said “Thank you” for enjoying her food.

Please make longer videos!!!! Cant get enough of your videos!!!

max, you're indeed a humble person; i tip my hat to you...

Max sure knows how to experience the culture to the max, plus you're such a positive person. Keep up the good work and keep those videos rolling in bro...

The meals are simple but filling up joyful and good food. Ha Giang so Beautiful 😍

A great adventure, yes her smiling happy energy went into your food, looking forward to more, thank you 😊

Self sufficient, rudiment, simple yet wholesome lifestyle. Love it ! Thanks for sharing.

Thank verry much max

Hi Max what a wonderful series! I love the style of filming you are doing, it’s like a documentary. The good looks great, lovely hospitable people.

This episode is amazing Max. I have a high respect for you that you dig in to the furthest part of Vietnam as we , Vietnamese, will never be able to. You are helping Vietnamese people, as well as other people around the world, to explore the beautiful parts of Vietnam. I respect you a lot Max. Great content!

This video makes me miss my Mum very much, when she cooked, when she smiled... Thank you Max. Hope to see a lot of your videos like this.

Các bạn comment bằng tiếng anh không mình chả hiểu gì. Mà rất cám ơn a đã quảng bá hình ảnh. Con người và đất nước việt nam cho bạn bè thế giới đều biêt rất cảm ơn. Chúc a nhiều sức khỏe để có thêm thật nhiều chuyến đi về đất nước việt nam. Cám ơn anh

Hi Max! If I remember correctly, this is the newest series about ethnic minority cuisine you make. The scenery in the mountainous north of Vietnam is very beautiful and romantic! Great Max, keep more like this and show more beautiful landscape in mountains of North. We love it!

Very very good storytelling..... keep on the good work!!!!!📽🎞📻👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Northern Vietnam has one of the best landscape in the world tbh

Wow!! I stayed here too. Their home cooked food is good!!

Người Việt rất rộng lòng iu thương ...tình cảm ..

Delicious home cooked meal. Love the sound of pots and pans and cooking sound. Nicely captured all the cooking.

Everyone always seems to wish you well :))

Loving this family. And they are saying how humble Max is and that many people who come from other places don't know how to use chopsticks. Then you see the lady nod at him using the chopsticks like this dude legit. Loving how sweet this family is.

1 seri rất hay cảm ơn anh đã cho mọi người biết việt nam không chỉ có ẩm thực bắc trung nam mà còn có ẩm thực ở miền núi nữa

I like this kind of video. Its a combination of natural, lifestyle and cuisine. looking forward to the next videos

Người Dao nhìn chưa giàu, nhưng phong thái họ không nghèo. Thật ngưỡng mộ cách sống của họ, hạnh phúc trong ánh mắt họ cười và giao tiếp.

8:50 They say: Many Westerners have been in Vietnam for a long time but do not know how to use chopsticks, they are complimenting you.

The scene is so beautiful...

The most beautiful vid of yours so far!

man I love your channel... keep up the good work with all the delicious vids!

Excellent video, Max., and your B-roll really lends to the village vibe. The Có Ho village video was one of my favs, and 20-25 mins would be a perfect length. Thanks!

Your video is good ,I alway watch it in the evening

I do enjoy the clips a lot. Thank you

It’s so peaceful

are you like fresh air , you will see evb very natural and good just feed with air , road , cloud

Very good video and thanks for sharing it. 😍🇰🇭

An experience i would love to have at least once in my life. Great inspiring love your chanel.

How I miss traditional family food! It's about the rice, everything else there-- it's for seasoning the rice.

In Vietnam, when the older person gives something to me, when receiving it, hold it with both hands and say "cám ơn" to pay respect to them :D In areas like this, they rarely have visitors, so they like you.

Thí is the basic family meal in VN, may be differ from what you have seen in restaurant. But this is the way we live.

Văn hóa người Việt là rất vui khi khách ăn hết thức ăn mà gia đình nấu ! Cám ơn Max.

Love the spectacular scenery and the wonderful simple meal . I like the longer video 2x week. 👍

Life is in every inch of the Earth. Feel so thankful!

Ha giang look beautiful ! I have never been there. You had a simple meal but cosy with people love ! Have more good trips Max :))

Hà Giang tuyệt phẩm! Thank Max

They prepared some yummy looking dishes, and home cooked meal is always BEST!👍

Max đi du lic Hà Giang đẹp đấy ,rừng núi chấp chùng ,người dân hiện lành thân thiện cuộc sống dơn giản nhung họ rất HP thoải mái tự do đấy

kênh a này hay nek, ăn mọi thứ, love a, cảm ơn a đã thich Việt Nam chúng tôi

Glad to see you eating and enjoy Vietnamese food or Asian food. Good to see you will eat anything put on the table. I'm Hmong and I am Asian I would like to see you make a few video in Sapa where lots of Hmong were at. Keep those video coming I'm enjoying watching your video. You're from America right.

Did I hear sprinkle of MSG, I definitely approve this weejio.

Simple meal but look so delicious!!!!

Tôi cũng muốn một lần đi Tây Bắc!☺️

Chúc Max thật nhiều sức khoẻ và thành công, thích xem kênh của a

Beautiful video. Even though it’s Vietnamese cuisine, the comfort and love can be applied to any culture. Reminds me of family meals when I was young in the Philippines.

Once again I am drawing for some yummy food but have to make do with what we have here in the US anyway thanks again. Stay safe. From the US

Great video ! Best whish for you Max

OMG so amazing

Awesome adventure Max!

My coutryside it’s so beautiful! Thanks Max for the video 🥰

New subscriber 👍👍👍 awesome content!!!!

Aww, she is very cute and friendly !

Cảm ơn bạn đã chia sẻ

it's too short for such great videos. Hope videos longer. if more than 20 mins will be great.

Northern Vietnam has many beautiful landscapes. You should try motorbike tour someday... I bet it's gonna be awesome!

Glad you understand rice comes first in all meals. In hard times/past times rice was most important crop in sustaining life. However, in the past, there were bouts of drought, which would make it difficult to farm and survive. Therefore, rice is fundamentally and symbolically ‘life’ for many 🤗

I think Max has beaten 95% of Vietnamese people to know how the Daos live and cook their food. Most of us know that they live on a spectacular landscape of great mountains and valleys, that they often live close to the Hmongs but will not inter-marry, as a Dao girl once told us: "người Dao và người Hmong kết bạn nhưng không kết hôn" (Dao and Hmong people can befriend but can not marry each other). The reason is still unclear, maybe Max can find this out for us. We know that they use water buffalos (trâu) to farm and little black hogs (heo núi) for food. They have an advanced irrigation system to plant crops on mountains' slopes which they manually cut into beautiful terraces. The Dao has white skin whereas the Hmong has darker skin. Many Dao girls work as guides in the tourist industry and marry caucasian tourists, eventually settle in Europe and the US. The last time I went to Sapa, the food was way below par, Pho tasted atrocious and almost uneatable on a foggy morning crying out for a bold of steaming soup. The pork dish made from the black hog was tough to chew and tasted unlike any "Thịt Kho nước mắm" you have eaten in Hanoi, in other words very bad. I guess you can't expect too much cuisine from people who live on top of mountains all year round. However, the Scenery is breathtaking and worth experiencing before you die, eh Max? 😊😊😊

Hello Max! I'm back!! 😀 For me, I'm happy with any video from you.

Max, this is wonderful, this is a Vietnamese family meal.

I love this kind of life... Simple and happy 🥰🥰🥰🥰

I'm not hating on msg, I embrace it. Thanks to you I had to cook a big pot of bum rieu I think I'm on the 3rd day of bum rieu for dinner.

Omg so excited for the vid u visited the market. Market is absolutely one of the best things to experience there!! Thanks Max, for creating such cool videos like this!!!😍😍😍
