[26]
Good afternoon ladies and gents, it's me again.
[31]
It's 1:30 PM on the 20th...
[36]
July 26th.
[39]
I'm at a restaurant specializes in rice noodles with snakehead (fish).
[42]
It has a very funny name which is Banh Canh Ca Loc Cuong Dollar 1st.
[46]
Don't know if this place is connected to that person.
[48]
But they got his name.
[50]
He's already rich, he isn't bother to open a rice noodle restaurant?
[54]
Just joking but this restaurant is very close to the Pixel Studio.
[60]
We're filming a new show called "Forever young".
[63]
A very interesting show.
[65]
I ate here twice before
and I found it very delicious and tempting.
[69]
So I'm taking you to...
[72]
a new location today.
[75]
The address of this place is 40/44 Le Thi Hong Street, Ward 17, Go Vap District.
[81]
It lies next to a market called the Can Cu Market.
[85]
Right.
[86]
Let's have a look at their kitchen area.
[92]
- Oh, fishes.
- They are famous for their Rice Noodle with Snakehead.
[95]
They have many dishes here. Rice Noodle with Mackerel fish cakes.
[99]
Rice Noodle with Tuna and etc.
[101]
Rice Noodle with Ricefield Crab or Fish Guts.
[105]
But only the snakeheads...
[111]
Yet Rice Noodle with Snakehead is my favorite.
[116]
Fish guts.
[119]
Here, this is one of my favorites.
[124]
And they use gloves for the hygiene factor.
[126]
Alright, here.
[127]
Are those fish heads ?
[129]
- What kind of fish are these?
- They're snakeheads.
[132]
Ah, snakeheads, snakeheads.
[134]
And here's the soup.
[137]
Or fish soup.
[137]
- That's tuna.
- Ah, tuna, I know that.
[140]
That poached fish pot looks delicious.
[152]
Are we in the fishing season ?
[157]
- This is steamed fish.
- You're right.
[159]
Some people want their mackerel fried, others prefer it steamed.
[164]
How many fishes you sell per day?
[166]
The amount of fishes you sell per day?
[167]
- 100 kilos.
- 100 kilos ?
[170]
Wow.
[171]
This restaurant sells up to 100 kilos of fish per day.
[176]
100 kilos. This young boy just told me.
[179]
What time do you open and close ?
[181]
8:00 to 10:00, sir.
[183]
8:00 to 10:00?
[184]
Is it 8:00 AM?
[186]
It's 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM everyone.
[188]
If you want to visit this place, come around 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM.
[192]
Come here at 11:00 PM and you'll have nothing to eat.
[194]
And if you come too early, for example at 7:00 AM like me...
[199]
same result.
[201]
All these fishes and vegetables are killing me.
[204]
So green.
[206]
Steamed fish.
[207]
And these snakehead's heads.
[216]
- OK, let's get our table now.
- I'd like to have 2 bowls of this.
[220]
There's one more bowl of fried snakehead over here.
[229]
OK, let's sit here.
[231]
Get some light.
[233]
Is there any table for better filming?
Nah, let's just sit here.
[240]
Look at this place.
[242]
They must have at least 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6... Dozens of tables.
[246]
I think there're...
[248]
20 tables.
[250]
No, more than 20 tables.
[253]
Yes, weigh it.
[256]
Hurry up, I'm starving.
[259]
- That's the owner.
- Where? Who's the owner?
[262]
You're the owner. May I have some words with you?
[267]
Yes, come here please.
[276]
So charming.
[279]
May I know your name please?
[281]
I'm...
[282]
Bich Lien.
[284]
This is Ms. Bich Lien, the owner of this
\ rice noodle restaurant Cuong Dollar restaurant.
[288]
Wait.
[289]
This is Cuong Dollar 1. Where's number 2 ?
[291]
Because my house is in Thu Duc so I have to live in District 9.
[293]
Wow, you have 2 more branches?
[296]
Man, there're 2 more branches in Thu Duc district and district 9. So you have 3 restaurants?
[301]
- Yes.
- Uh huh.
[303]
- How much fishes do you sell a day?
- About 200 kilos.
[307]
Just one restaurant?
[308]
Wow.
[309]
Each restaurant can sell
from 150 to 200 kilos of fish per day. 150 to...
[314]
200 kilos of snakeheads.
[317]
Man, that's...
[326]
How long you've been doing this?
[329]
In the year of 2011.
[331]
She's been selling since 2011 so it's been...
[335]
8 years.
[336]
This place has been around for 8 years.
[338]
Where's your first restaurant?
[339]
My first restaurant was a bit up there.
[343]
Her first restaurant was quite small.
[346]
And it was at another place.
[348]
- Then how long did you come here?
- 4 years.
[351]
4 years.
[355]
- Do you have many customers in the afternoon? What's the best time for selling?
- The afternoon and evening.
[360]
The afternoon... the afternoon and the evening.
[364]
- Do you also deliver fishes?
- Yes, I do.
[366]
Wow, you do that too.
[368]
Because the Banh Canh Ca Loc Cuong Dollar company is planning a food delivery service.
[378]
Oh, so in the future Ms....
[381]
- Nga?
- I'll form a company.
[383]
- Sorry but what's your name again?
- I'm Bich Lien.
[386]
In the future, Ms. Lien will form a company
for professionalization and deliver her dish across the country.
[394]
If all sellers and businessmen could do the same thing like what Ms. Lien does, it would be great, right ?
[404]
I'm actually quite amazed.
Each of her restaurant dishes out 150 - 200 kilos of fish a day.
[409]
So when all 3 restaurants combined...
[411]
that's 500 - 600 kilos of fish.
[414]
It's half a ton. All of her restaurants dish out half a ton of fish each day.
[419]
It's incredible. Truly unbelievable.
[422]
Are ours ready? I'm starving here.
[424]
Quickly please.
[425]
Food is more important.
[428]
- There's our food.
- Brings some vegetables too.
[432]
Give me more scallions, please.
[434]
How much in total for this table?
[436]
I know, I know. Got it dear.
[439]
We're all set.
[441]
Let's try out the soup first.
[445]
I'll try the soup first so everyone can see how it goes.
[451]
And this here, vegetables there.
[454]
Must take a picture before I eat.
[458]
I must always some pictures.
[472]
OK.
[473]
Let's try. I'm starving.
[474]
It's 1:30 PM already.
[476]
I have a show to do so... Oh, this soup is a little thick.
[481]
You guys see that? The soup is slightly thick.
[485]
It's not diluted. That's odd. Maybe it's...
[490]
I think there's rice flour.
[493]
Two cokes here, dear.
[502]
The soup is made from boiling bones. Is it fish bones?
[509]
Very delicious.
[510]
I'll have 2 Pepsi.
[512]
OK, now...
[514]
let's fix it a bit.
[518]
Some chili paste.
[519]
Nice.
[521]
I'll add less chili as everyone advice.
[525]
So I can be healthy and continue making food reviews for everyone.
[532]
This is an extra dish.
[541]
Yeah, old habit dies hard,
a tad too much chilies.
[549]
You put your fish sauce here
so you can dip your fish in it later. That's the right way to eat.
[553]
- Am I correct, Mr. DOP aka film director?
- Yes, you're correct.
[558]
It's the right way. OK, all set.
[561]
Squeeze some lemons.
[566]
There.
[573]
No quail eggs.
[575]
Must eat properly.
[576]
Original way is the best.
Why would you put that in?
[580]
Right, everyone? You must do it right in your food review.
[583]
Oh my, how could I take my chopsticks like this?
[587]
1 big and 1 small.
[589]
I'm starving.
[591]
Whatever.
[594]
I don't have to care. No one will look at chopsticks anyway.
[607]
Mix it up. Now go for it.
[612]
Oh, hot, hot, hot.
[614]
These noodles are made from rice flour, right?
[620]
It's made from rice flour not finest flour.
[624]
My bad, it's tapioca starch.
[628]
Chewy.
[639]
Hey, how much does my dish cost?
[643]
30,000VND each.
[645]
I forgot to ask the price. Now you know, 30,000 VND for one giant bowl.
[662]
Dip in a bit.
[668]
This one looks more delicious than the one I'm eating
because I haven't add anything to it.
[672]
This soup is clear
because it doesn't contain rice flour. It doesn't get opaque.
[677]
You can make a comparison here. This one is opaque.
[679]
It's because of the rice flour.
[682]
Got it?
[683]
OK, let's try the soup first.
[697]
- Me? I come here 3 times in total.
- 3 times?
[700]
- Because I have a film studio nearby.
- Uh huh.
[703]
Last time, I didn't do my food review here.
[706]
Now I have my own channel to share these to everyone.
People love seeing me doing my food reviews.
[711]
- I love places that have great food and quality with a reasonable price.
- I get that.
[716]
Even cheap prices.
[720]
But to be honest, I don't think that this place can dish out 200 kilos of fish per day.
[727]
Unbelievable.
[729]
Let's put it in bowls. Can you say how many?
[733]
Hundreds maybe?
[734]
Well, around 500 to 600 bowls.
[737]
I think it's about that amount.
[739]
500 - 600 bowls.
[741]
My target is to have 10 restaurants by the end of this year.
[746]
Ms. Lien's target...
[748]
is very humble. Get 10 restaurants this year...
[751]
and buy 3 mansions. That's it.
[754]
I'm joking.
[757]
Yeah, I'm deploying my plans.
[759]
Congratulations then.
[761]
Congratulation on having a great model.
[763]
And I hope that you will continue developing your company.
[767]
10 restaurants this year, 30 ones next year.
[770]
- Multiples it.
- Yes.
[772]
And then franchise me. So I can run my own restaurant.
[776]
- Franchise, franchise.
- OK.
[779]
- You agree? That's nice.
- Yeah I'll give you your franchise.
[782]
- Any restaurants overseas yet?
- Not yet.
[784]
- Yeah?
- I'll decide it in this year.
[788]
OK.
[790]
You're so young and talented.
[812]
There.
[815]
Excellent.
[818]
A whole spoon like this satisfies me.
[823]
Here's the logo of Banh Canh Ca Loc Cuong Dollar company.
[831]
Why you named it Cuong Dollar?
[834]
Don't tell me you like him.
People, watch out for Ms. Bich Lien.
[837]
Actually there's a hidden story you didn't know about.
[840]
Here, this is Cuong Dollar Food JSC.
[845]
Nice.
[847]
Don't tell me that Cuong Dollar invest her.
[849]
- And here are the certificates approve on food satefy.
- There it is.
[853]
You have all these certificates. Man, you're so good.
[860]
Let me be the humorous guy for a couple of minutes.
[864]
Actually Ms. Lien admires Cuong Dollar so much.
[868]
He's ugly but he always dates lots of Miss Beauty.
[873]
But actually Cuong Dollar has a huge crush on Ms. Bich Lien.
[877]
You guys are the first one to know about this.
[880]
And later, Ms. Bich Lien get tired of his ugly ass and dump him.
[885]
He hated her ever since. Then because the hate is too much he begin dating many Miss Beauty.
[890]
He has tons of beautiful girlfriends from Miss Beauty to female artists...
just to get back at Ms. Bich Lien for dumping him.
[897]
That's one untold story no one ever heard of.
[899]
Just joking.
[901]
So now we have our food review in a new place, Banh Canh Ca Loc Cuong Dollar 1...
[907]
on 40/44 Le Thi Hong Street, Ward 17, Go Vap District. Right Ms?
[911]
