Exploring Vietnam's RICHEST Neighbourhood 🇻🇳 Thao Dien (Saigon)

Today we're going to be exploring the Thao Dien area here in Saigon known as District 2 this is known for being a very wealthy very affluent rich neighborhood and you can actually tell as you go through the streets here very quiet lots of lush Greenery you have nice buildings even to the right here you have a very nice interesting restaurant here and you got these kind of beautiful apartment blocks So the plan today is to explore this area and see how the rich and the wealthy live here in Talen what we really like here is you have these very cute Alleyways just over here there's something very Charming about going through these kind of narrow beautiful looking Alleyways what do you think Karolina it's a very nice I really like the vibe and actually you can really feel the peace here yeah especially coming from district one and the craziness the traffic the noise and you can actually walk here without kind of being frustrated because it's quite quiet and like Karolina you said peaceful one thing I've noticed is that you do see a lot of expats in this area literally two guys um passing by on the motorbikes and the coffee shops as well all over the coffee shops you see a lot of expats and they look out like a thumb hello so she's going past I think she's selling like brooms and kind of cleaning equipment she has the notification on the speaker it's quite common here yeah that makes us feel a bit more at home so we've discovered the more local side to Thao Dien I feel like I'm in Vietnam again oops with all these uh the motorbikes and all the kind of chaotic kind of nature of life here and actually along the road you can see people selling Bonk Nong oh hello got the attention of when I said bnk n people selling some coffee so it's not all about the expats and the foreigners here and the restaurants and the coffee shops you can get local street food here and I can imagine actually there's still a lot of local people living here or maybe working here so they need kind of more affordable options because tell you what guys we're going to be trying a few of the uh kind of restaurants and that's interesting there was this noise coming out of a bicycle uh bicycle just there but uh yeah the prices are going to be quite pricey because uh we are doing how the this is chaotic trying to record with all the motorbikes yeah yeah it's like really hard to focus on vlogging cuz I don't want to get hit by the the motorbikes and they're kind of like weaving in and out of you but uh we're going to be hitting up a few of like the restaurants and the more Western expat areas to show you kind of how life is in toen for the more wealthy let's say check out this Ferrari wow beautiful so we've barely been in TN for like half an hour we've already seen a Ferrari and and uh we're going to be heading in to get some breakfast at uh Bagel Brothers just over here you can see all the grab drivers delivery drivers picking them up let's head on inside hello hi hi hey wow a lot of people working here okay so come to get some bagels my God the smell is amazing yeah you can smell fresh Bagel smell and I think we can actually head on inside and maybe sit down and grab a seat I think we can actually sit in front of here maybe it's better yeah this is nice it's important cuz we can have some nice lighting the window all right guys it's time to order we've just had a look at the menu here there's lots of different options and we got some cash let's head on over a little production line going on here actually I need the menu again cuz I'm going to forget thanks they don't seem to have a menu over here ah they got the menu up here but it's just be easier hello hi uh could I go for the egg and bacon bagel and you know the combo is the C quick venous coffee or fresh coconut is it coconut an actual coconut uh like the whole coconut okay uh yeah let's go for that combo yeah with a coconut and can we go for the number 11 avocado egg and cheese yeah uh but you know the cheese could you swap it out for tomato uh so no cheese cheese fresh tomato fresh tomato yes yes you can actually choose the type of bagel that you want so I'm going to go for this one 100% this one okay I think I'll go for the same so what is a which one is this one here oh Everything is Everything Bagel everything bagel okay let's get for the everything bagel uh four for two Bagels uh two Bagels yes sorry bit of a tight space in here just walking through just here um so you one combo and bacon with fresh coconut and one apple Chee perfect 250 there you go okay come on thank you okay so let's head back to our seat like it yeah it's quite nice very as well yeah very small space but uh it's quite Charming well organized and you convin notice that most of the clientele here are are look quite expats or tourists or foreigners coming from uh which is uh weird for us because we're usually out local spots we're having K or Vy or it's nice to see the difference yeah the coconut has [Music] arrived so got our coconut first and uh actually I've never had the coconut in a bagel shop ever in my life so this makes me feel like we in Vietnam so this again J is Happy the coconut boy great yes um get Smokey in it's really interesting I like it but it's um it's a little bit sweet but got like a kind of Smokey barbecue flavor to it can you can you taste that I think it's because it's very ripe like it's very for a coconut CU usually we have like the green ones but this one maybe the reason why it tastes like that yeah it's a nice one the bagels have arrived awesome wow thank you so much come on okay so we got our beautiful bagel with the everything what was it called Everything Everything Bagel everything bagel with all the different Sesame um kind of seeds on top so Karolina is doing her Instagram right now so don't forget to follow us on Instagram I'll follow our popup just over here yes but I think it's time to dig into these Bagels so you can see here I bring it over to you guys this is the inside of the bagel you got some eggs some bacon and actually there's like a nice kind of like uh red toi I think some kind of I don't know some cruncy inside there I really like it it's actually cut in half yeah makes it easier to eat easy to eat and you inside of yours you've got the avocado avocado tomato and some egg I love eggs in the morning and some fresh tomatoes all right let's give this a [Music] bite oh that's good that's really good straight away it's very buttery Super Fresh Bagel sweetness from like the red Chey that's crispy bacon nicely roasted wow I can understand why there's so many people in here eating these Bagels cuz fresh warm super good I'm really enjoying myself Stu right now to be honest this is probably our most expensive meal in Vietnam today so has to be good doesn't it that was absolutely delicious we've polished off the plates we've been even made a friend from Australia it was great meeting you nice meet you guys all the best have a day take care man thank you bye bye thank you so was uh hey okay so we have had a nice meal at a very kind of westernized place and I feel kind of bad because you come to Vietnam you come for your Vietnamese food and so sometimes I feel like when we go into these places and we are filming a video with the intention of seeing how life is here in toen so forgive us but uh yeah it feels strange eating at a very Western Place when we've come here to Vietnam to experience the the Vietnamese cuisine the the delicious Vietnamese food and uh looks like there's some kind of event going on over here it's an International University so actually in tan I think that has the most number of international schools uh Inon because a lot of experts do live here and so when they live here they want to send their their get to the best schools the international schools they even have a cat cafe here you got kin Nico can actually see the cats in the uh the window here there's cats all over this Cafe they're so cute as well love the little sign welcome actually you got some more cats if you come over here see the cats trying to escape look this cat here he's like take me away take me away from this madness but uh uh I'm not surprised seeing uh something like a cat cafe in an area like this and um definitely you can get a Vibe not just the expats here but the Vietnamese people here uh are very wealthy they they dress differently they act differently and uh they are essentially more feels like more westernized maybe I'm wrong but that's just how I feel like they're living there best life shopping at the best places having the nicest cars um and like yeah just uh wow cigar and whiskey place it's interesting definitely again fitting of the place we're in some more coffee shops we have very beautiful gated homes here in toen have to show you this one hope they don't mind me filming uh outside of the house but inside you can see kind of the glimpse of the house behind there very very beautiful and actually all over this area you have gated homes like that um even here you've got looks like a kind of company building but again everything's gated so when we get the opportunity to show you the homes when they're kind of open the gates we'll do so but there's also a lot of construction happening I've seen a lot of properties being built or maybe even renovated but over here we can show you a glimpse of without getting run over there's still a lot of grab drivers and motorbikes in this area let's quickly go over very beautiful homes here this one looks like an actual restaurant I can see Michelin 2023 Maybe so you have very up Market upscale restaurants over here I feel a little bit out of place I'm not going to lie to you guys we're more kind of Rough and Ready sometimes we get the opportunity to stay at five star hotels as uh collaborations but uh even then sometimes we feel a little bit out of place but over in this area you can see that we've got a lot of think restaurants coffee shops this one's Italian food just over here so feels weird like I'm constantly seeing lots of expats and um actually a lot of uh mixed families I've seen on a motorbike you can see uh usually a Caucasian man with uh what seems to be a Vietnamese lady and kind of a mixed Vietnamese Caucasian uh child so it's interesting to see that because it seems like people are really are kind of coming here to live from overseas and they're setting up their Liv here again we have this one's actually quite nice let's go over here you got see another very nice house over here they look like more European style homes right more European style homes and then we got a very interesting little it's like a beetle what I love is the contrasts yeah and then oh my God this is the this is the um from the Netflix show isn't it do you know the uh is the Korean Netflix show I'm pretty sure this is the one from it and this one is like a Depot for what looks like uh lots of alcohol but that doll was the one that had the laser eyes and was like you haven't watched this show have you probably not if it's scary definitely not I forgot the name of it but let us know in the comments you probably know what I'm talking about the ones that kind of if you move and the dolls watching you you get lasered down I'm probably describing this awfully but uh again like you can see here I was talking about the construction a lot of construction happening here a lot of money is being pumped into this area because there's a lot of probably wealthy xats and Vietnamese and over here youve got again coffee shop pretty much all Western people you got a very nice uh Bakery just over here got a very ni nice Bakery hello and uh yeah it's nice place to live I'm not going to lie like if you want to have your Western Comforts but I think uh I'll take my comam any day I was just saying I'll uh I eat comam like almost every day here but um again very nice coffee shop CrossFit that's how you know it's definitely a kind of uh touristy area or not touristy but a lot of westerners foreigners you see a CrossFit run for your lives no that was a joke but maybe not so much of a joke so me and Karolina are very similar we're quite simple down-to-earth people got to be careful of the traffic seeing a lot of old old westerners xats they know makes me feel uneasy I don't know why just makes me feel like they're all by themselves they're not here with wife or children or partner they're just kind of strolling um but don't know why that makes me feel uneasy back to the topic we we like simple things like we don't need a lot to be happy yeah we're just down to earth you'll see that in our videos we have just as much fun and probably a lot of the times even more fun uh just doing the kind of simple things rather than doing the luxury things from time to time we enjoy it we like to do that but there needs to be a balance yeah if it becomes a part of your life I know you probably just take it for granted and um I don't know I just feel like sometimes when you come to these very um West niiz superficial places uh people tend to look at you differently it's more judgmental you go to a local place with very down toe people they just treat you very nicely and they treat you like a human being and yeah that's just how I feel about it so sometimes I feel uneasy or I don't feel comfortable in them environments but maybe if I was a rich person and I was frequenting these maybe you would think differently maybe I'd think differently I don't know so this street got our attention just from a distance it's very uh nice just to walk down here and see what's happening looks like some Vietnamese aunties are having their hair done in there very quiet and peaceful that's what we like the nice thing about uh tan is that it's not just completely ransacked with uh is that the word it's not completely like covered with restaurants coffee shops and there is a lot of that but there's also a lot of local eateries or local places which I quite like and uh you can't take Vietnam out of tan with the motorbike there's literally constant motorbikes and there an Indian place just there I can instantly smell the Indian one Indian smells that was an interesting uh leaving their lives yeah they were having a good time he was like calm down baby I don't know if you heard that on the camera but yeah you got nice little local EES like this going through these little Alleyways or this is actually a street or a road just going to keep going down here I think we might be coming to the water here so the great thing about toen is that we are getting a lot of steps in cuz we can actually walk sometimes in District 1 five uh it's very difficult to walk yeah it makes you puts you off from walking because you just get stuck in traffic last night we uh wanted to go to get some ban FL only said on Google Maps it was about 10 minutes away and literally it was Peak traffic Friday just absolutely covered in motorbikes like massive roads even the Pavements the motorbikes were taking up because they were just not enough Road space talking about local experiences Karolina has actually made a bunch of Travel Guides for the countries that we are visiting and have visited so if you're going to any of them countries and you'd like to support us there'll be a link in the description Karolina spends her evenings doing all the travel guides right yes so how much like time do you spend on like creating them like how do you create the travel guides it really depends because like we want to ensure that you will have authentic experiences and sometimes it's not as easy to gather all of the information but it's my hobby so I like doing this stuff and collecting all of the essential information mhm so uh there'll be a link in the description for the travel guides right now we are by the the water side you can see lmar 81 just there that's in the bintan district which is the second largest uh building in uh second tallest building in Southeast Asia the first one being in Malaysia which is the Merdeka 118 and we can see people are fishing over here just enjoying the weather the peace and quiet it's a very nice spot yeah apart from this area here like it's there's like a I don't know what this is called what is this called Karolina we we both we both don't know what that's called but you can uh see like not the nicest area back here but the bentown district over there I don't know if you guys want us to head to the bentown district let us know which districts you want us to go to because we are planning videos for Saigon and we have a few in mind we might be going to a few weird districts that usually people don't go to but let us know in the comments if you want us to go to a specific area if some specific videos you want us to make cuz we really do pay attention to our comments so right now we are just sweating our uh balls off let's grab some drinks we need to get some drinks I don't know can I say sweating balls off on YouTube I don't know I don't know but maybe I'll include it maybe I won't so we're going to keep it fancy guys the whole purpose of this video is to show how people the wealthier live in tan so we're at this fancy what looks like a restaurant we're going to grab some drinks cuz like I said earlier we are very hot and sweaty all right so very nice in here nice nice airon hello H we like to order some drinks to have outside so we're going to be waiting for our drinks so we just need to pop outside and just have a little sit down we sit down on these seats here that's what I like is the place looks really nice can actually sit upstairs there but we're going to have a bit of a roadside view cuz what I like is just being on the roadside it's not uh air conditioned and it's a bit noisy but I don't know I just feel nice being outside yeah a little bit different to like what we used to being back home in in Europe I think our drinks have arrived coming okay that's okay no problem wow that's that looks beautiful got coffee coffee I'll give the coffee to Karolina coffee lover Karolina okay wow enjoy the fresh day thank you so much come on wow okay so there's a reason why the prices are much higher for the service and there was actually a 10% service charge I didn't know kolina just knows about these things I'm a bit more like oblivious to these things don't pay attention but these look very beautiful again phone's out Karolina is addicted to Instagram I mean she is doing our Instagram so I'll let her off his work but this is boost my Blues so you got a bit of a watermelon I guess there's a lot of watermelon in here and I'm actually jealous yours looks like a dessert you want to give it a go yeah ladies first we've had a few comments saying come on let car the try this stuff first oh I like the straw all right looks like a bamboo it looks like a uh a straw you can recycle as well it's good it's actually sweet oh did you ask with no sugar I asked no sugar but I think that they anyway added condensed milk okay yeah it was about to be only with fresh milk but I guess this is how the coffee is served here and actually I'll grab a straw as well let me that's how I do it guys just poof nice and easy not being gentle at all yeah I I don't belong uh to this uh to this community I'm a bit more Rough and Ready all right so we've got s in there let's get us a oh don't want to spill it very nice it's got it's got um watermelon tastes a bit of I think it's pineapple some lime M very freshhh Kiwi I want to say a big thank you for buying us five drinks on our buy me a coffee page you've said hi amazing videos love them enjoy the drinks and

buy us one drink we're more than happy because that helps to support us on this journey and we don't usually spend it on fancy things like this but usually we're doing more of the local things but in tan oh we're next to a motor a motorbike shop so this is behind the scenes what when we're actually filming sometimes we're in nice environments and then suddenly you start hearing noise and it just throws us off just one of the parts of filming okay guys so we've come to the Happy Tree Zero Waste Shop so you have lots of different nuts you can see over here a lot of the xats come here to get nuts and uh they focus on zero waste so you can come refill your nuts your seeds you got different herbs just over here but uh what is this place called it's actually around here but but but can you tell me the detail what what you need to find that a beauty house so the idea with this uh with this Vlog is to explore like the wealthy side of TM yeah yeah so we're just kind of going around and seeing so how do you pronounce this when van hung W van W vanung van and uh we can go around the river and yeah around River a lot of v a lot of beauty house okay guys so we have a plan now let's go discover some uh beautiful big houses right okay well thank you so much thank you and uh guys if you're stopping by come to Happy Tree Zero Waste Shop yeah thank you okay thank you come on Good Luck thank you thank you bye super nice but uh we just spotted the place in this neighborhood just over here and you can see Happy Tree zero waste shop and this is what the neighborhood look looks like very beautiful I love the colorful houses here but we're on the hunt to find the luxurious massive Villas where all the wealthy are living in and so we've got some Intel we are on our way to when van hung Street and already we've come across some amazing houses check this one out guys this one let's try not to get run over here very beautiful but what's more impressive is this gate here absolutely stunning it almost looks like kind of the architecture that some mosques have with these kind of uh don't know how to explain but the shape of this here very beautiful sometimes when we're traveling around the world to Muslim countries there's some really beautiful mosques and that kind of reminded me of that and to contrast it you have K Tam my favorite Vietnamese dish homade yes beautiful probably would be delicious I find it very interesting having kind of the combination of the rich and the kind of maybe more local life local life yeah and uh again there's a lot of construction you can sometimes here in this area I guess when they pumping in the money then it provides a lot of opportunities to to build and to make things even more kind of I don't know commercial feels a bit like uh we're in barley to a degree just seeing all the kind of experts on the motorbikes um a little bit concerning for us cuz we try to avoid sorry to say but we try to sometimes avoid hello how's it going oh that's funny because yeah we Tred to avoid the uh the kind of foreigners or the westerners just cuz we prefer more of a local experience but we coming to their areas yes in the same time look at this gate as well here the famy Villa I like the uh the way that they name them here but are we going this way way or we going to we just going straight we're going straight um but yeah I got a little bit caught off guard there with the westerners coming on the bikes I think they might have heard us talking to the camera about it and uh yeah a little bit awkward but again even more construction going on as you can see over here wow that I wasn't expecting such a big machine and team and actually this little Street here looks really interesting I love these more simple houses these are even for me more beautiful you can see they're actually living over here and uh nice sugar drink yes it was really nice you got little tiny Alleyways okay hello hello are you uh YouTuber yes YouTuber yes you're selling uh drinks yes okay what is the best drink yeah uh which drink is the best this one which one you one one just one yes okay uh we'll go for a big one big one so this is your home yeah it's beautiful very beautiful I saw from the top I'll show that guys look up there that's where I think they're living up there and then they work out you live upstairs yes and then you got the uh Street here you can actually walk through but I think we're getting ah we're getting a sugar cane oh there's a lot of wasp here so I got to be careful you can see the kind of sugar cane bamboo just over there it's actually just sugar cane I guess and then it's going through there Super Fresh very sweet very sweet yes I like it I like sweet yes sweet boy yes I the mosquitoes love me as well they love my sweet blood that's so true okay should we pay uh how much is um 10,000 okay thank you come on come on come on come on so this is actually what we like just having these small places 10,000 for a drink and we spent something 50,000 or something in the last place yeah it makes you shows you the difference really from UK yes England England yes Poland and you're from Saigon yes saon okay that's beautiful uh your name you YouTube I can have you got a phone I can type uh phone his name and signning yes uh maybe I can show you oh show you yes saw me I I li yeah yeah we have a new subscriber yes high five okay let's uh also while you're doing that cine I'm going to there we go perfect going to give this a go so uh it's funny branding wise I put my name which is kind of complicated but I've actually seen on YouTube people actually search my name and in the search bar so I think it's not too bad it's more like a personal [Music] brand mhm my name is complicated isn't it yes first time and then it's a j yeah so we just usually type it into uh into their phones for them really fresh you know what's funny I'm going to be honest here I like this more than I like my last stream I knew yeah this is going to be fa video yes we we're making more videos for Vietnam so we upload soon no my second time I was a English teacher uh before the uh pandemic my first time Carolina's first time yes I love it yes we love Vietnam you like what Vietnamese oh we love Vietnamese food yes very fresh yes but in uh in t as many um western western like uh not vietn not so much Vietnamese food more Western yeah but this is delicious very good very good okay all right come on come on thank you bye bye we have got our sugar cane we're heading through this Alleyway it's not beautiful but I don't know why but just like walking through Alleyways I actually like it and what I think is nice is that you don't know what's on the other side so like even though using Google Maps to get around we're exploring and just kind of bumping into random places like this one and uh yeah the Vietnamese people are super friendly and I just feel more I don't know I just feel good being around local people uh not so much uh around um tourists wow this is beautiful very beautiful here everywhere yeah it's very nice flowers feels a bit more local over here you do have kind of modern apartments like this one just over here so we still don't have haven't found the expensive homes but what we have come across is a more local neighborhood you can see over here they're growing a lot of the plants maybe I think they're just plants I don't think they're actually um the dogs barking me better move I don't think they're actually growing like herbs or anything there but you can see the small homes here very local very peaceful very peaceful so it's nice to know that it's not like the xack community the westerners the foreigners aren't really changing too much the landscape of toen other than kind of pockets but uh again you can see uh westerners I love it as soon as I say westerners I got to say a bit quietly but this interesting over here what is this place is it like a look like a little bit like a coffee shop yeah very interesting it comes to like during T night mhm again looks like there's a bit of it looks like a uh food and there the delivery drivers just waiting to maybe pick up or maybe they're eating there but we're hoping we can go through here to get to the other side which will take us to the main road which is the when van hung Street Carolina motor bike super nice so hopefully it takes us to that because uh could be a bit of a dead end but fact that motorbikes go in there gives us hope but again this is where people are living it's very nice actually oh there's a dog here got to be careful hello they growing lots of PS on the outside of the homes oh it's beautiful it's over here very beautiful homes and I can see the light I can see a road let's find ourselves some millionaire Mansions so we're crossing the road but this entire area here is a okay thank you that was nice he stopped behind here you can actually see that's the school behind you look at that it's like a football pitch it's the British International School hoi Min City so I'm from UK got a British passport so this is nice to see and like I said there is a huge number of international schools here in toen because it's very nice it's very nice let's have a look inside there W look at that look inside of there look inside hey we don't want to we don't want to pry too much butth you can see British International School hoan City so we're now walking along the W Vang Hong Street you can see this very beautiful apartment building I love how they've got kind of lots of these kind of shrubs growing on the side of the the building and this is the street we're going to follow around hopefully see some luxury Village but what I love here if we can swing around here you can see this building here let's try and cross the road and wait for uh it to be safe on this side as well I love the beautiful gate here with the the house this cabling is very strange though very a bit of a mess there and then you got these two ladies hello and so I think we are slowly making our way to the luxury part of Talen you can see this place is called The Edge or de Edge Cen and you can see the street name here when van hung I'm just thinking carine is looking up there you'd like to live here right it looks very nice actually I can imagine that people are having a lot of hosties within this housing looks very nice a nice little water feature here again we have these huge gigantic Gates beautiful these look like they have dragon on them so we're now coming around this area and you can start seeing massive kind of buildings that all have these massive Gates saying massive a lot because they're huge so there's a security guard in front of these homes look how big they are the gates are amazing says the Republic of Malta just over there you can see we've got the European Union Flag it's like a flag from malola this one is called King crowned Village wow so this is called the king crown Village it looks like on this side as well you have beautiful homes they're a bit more kind of enclosed so they've got all this kind of shrubs and trees on purpose on purpose to kind of be a bit more uh kind of how do you say it private private that's the one check this out guys got the security guard there it's hello a very beautiful gated home look at it absolutely stunning you can even see like there's some like lions and horses on the kind of emblem there very beautiful and then you actually come down to this end here this is the funny part on the you got these very nice Street lamps which I guess will light up the elephant here and the camel and if you come towards the end I think a lot of the mansions and big homes here have a view of the river just over here so I'm surprised the security guard has hasn't got an issue with us uh recording because uh it looks like quite a private complex but super beautiful H we just walked down the road and thought oh maybe we could C capture something and we've come across a very beautiful home so I think kolina is waiting over there okay bye very nice security guard so some places in the world you go and they have security guard they just wonder what you're doing like yeah we're just showing the area off but some some people don't like that so fortunately we had a nice security guard Vietnamese people are very relaxed and chilled but you never know and then just randomly through here you've actually got some tires this looks like definitely not a luxury uh home Carina were you getting scared of the security guard a bit I didn't want to cause trouble they also have a French International School here in Talen just behind these Gates here which makes sense with the history here in Vietnam so the French actually started to colonize Vietnam in the 19th century and so that develops into the establishment of the Indochina the French Indochina which uh was basically French's rule over Cambodia LA and Vietnam and then basically in the 20th century there was uprisings to basically fight for the independence and so hoi men and the Viet men uh basically started up they basically uised against the French to gain their independence and that's why there's a lot of French influence here in Vietnam which with the bamei which is I guess the baguette the influence there um things like the ban flan which is a bit like like a Creme Brule of sorts and what other the French influences there also in the architecture buildings yeah especially when you go towards I think district one yeah uh you can see a lot of French um Monumental buildings mhm so uh yeah just Jay and Carolina's history lesson for today finish the E again another French and English intern school and then if we swing over safely it's got to be careful of the traffic okay there we go put the hand out and they will slow down today is a day of visiting lots of international schools so here we have the Asian school so I don't know what this exactly means Asian school is international school if we swing around here you can actually actually see just behind this woman with the bike that there is another International School Asian school International so what I said earlier about there being a huge number of international schools I've never seen that anywhere in the world a super high concentration of international schools in one area it shows you that Talan is a super wealthy area because the amount of money it cost to go to International Schools is is crazy I think it's way more than even PR schools back home uh in England and so yeah I think it I think you can see now that this is definitely a wealthy Rich area maybe not the most rich or wealthy area in Saigon but one of them at least but yeah let me know in the comments which is the most wealthy area and we'll go there right maybe to district 7 to the Korea Town I forgot the Vietnamese name for you remember the Vietnamese let's get the not out we've made some notes let's made some notes Carina is holding all of our uh stuff phone the bottle of water so it is called um district 7 Fu my hung so if you want us to go to distri 7 Fu my hung let us know in the comments and we'll go there I wasn't going to film any more homes but we've come across a really beautiful one very distinct features again another big gated home look at the architecture it looks so European got the balconies just over here but I can't get over the massive big Gates so literally you just stroll around and you come across this beautiful homes which I don't even know if they're being lived in I don't know if they're just sitting there idly you don't really get to see the owners very much that's actually an interesting point with the really super wealthy and Rich yeah you don't really see them it's kind of like they're behind closed doors or they're in these kind of private clubs and communities that you don't get access to but you can see their homes which they might have multiple homes but we're just walking along here so right next to that home you just you still do have like local places like this I gu uh sometimes you can't walk on the pavment because of the motorbikes we have done plenty of walking today so we're going to treat ourselves to one of the best pizza places don't mind the live music it's quite nice actually we're going to treat ourselves to one of nice pizza places in Vietnam and we have come to Pizza 4 pce which is very nice location here very very nice very peaceful you can actually sit on on the second floor cow uh uh we don't have a reserv two people uh inside upstairs would be nice thank you yes okay thank you so I have been to Pizza 4 pce before uh a long time ago and uh that was when I was teaching English here it's very very I think it was vable from what I can remember we'll see the prices but you see the inside the decor wow I remember pizza for places are quite like this very nice interior see we going even higher should we go over here oh is airom do you want to go an airon or do you want to go I think maybe over there is nicer could we go to the uh end over there um where the plants are let take okay thank you all right so she needs to check if we can go towards there so they actually have all of the herbs wow okay mind the wind guys haven't got the uh wind to cover on but you have the herbs just over here which they'll be putting into the pizzas I'm sure I actually quite like this seating over here very beautiful this is very nice here so we're set up here don't be shy don't be shy we're friendly don't worry okay so we are set up here and actually you can put your bags just into this basket just over here so it's very well thought out we're surrounded by the herbs that they're growing here and they're going to be actually putting that into our pizza maybe a pasta I think we need to look at the menu which is just over here you got a seasonal menu it's very beautiful ni pictures yeah so we have some live music somewhere in this direction but um the last time I was here the pizzas was super delicious and I remember it was quite affordable but uh do we have a pizza menu yes Pizza and Pasta ah here we go yes so we've got the pizza menu just over here we're looking at around 200,000 for a pizza which I think is pretty reasonable would you say we're going to do half half we've seen some comments on other videos where they say we should go for half half and some dessert so sharing a pizza between us for 200,000 and then getting some dessert I think is pretty reasonable for a lovely environment here and actually they wanted to see us inside the air conditioned environment and I think they felt like we wanted more of the kind of Westerner um environment but actually what we want is the to be surrounded by all the herbs behind us and to have a nice kind of environment nice lighting otherwise it's a little bit stale yes we are ready to order could we um so this is half and half right so could I go for the Bata Palmer Margarita but have with half with small so you can do like a half and half here which is great cuz you can have two different ones and then Carolina and the second half would be this one okay so you're not kind of committed to one pieza you can have a bit of bit of both and um could we have some water as well um yeah maybe like uh maybe like them H just one water at pleas thank you and then I think after pizzas we'll have some dessert that's everything just one pizza sure just one pizza thank you okay come on very sweet but uh we don't need two massive pizzas because uh we have a a little bit of the small appetite we had the bagels earlier on which has kept us pretty full and I just spotted over on the other table behind us they were serving some water so Carina what do you think of this place it's very nice it's actually very thank you it's very big and it's actually very different from the typical pizza places like I love the garden behind you that's why we will have a lot of Greens on our pizza all right so we've been given permission over here we have all the fresh herbs cow you're cutting for the pizza and Topping drink for for the uh food toing drink oh for the drinks ah smell smells smells like uh mint mint mint mint mint oh wow oh fresh fresh so they have lots of different herbs many different herbs so she's getting the mint for the drinks the for the drinks okay and for the food for the pizza also uh for the for the pizza pizza uh for uh everything everything everything okay so you can see they have all this beautiful herbs here and she goes through them Snips them off come on come on so she basically Cuts them for the drinks as well as the food so she was cutting mint that was really nice and she uh I could smell it fresh yeah behind me there's bz so I think that they're using it for pizza the pizza is coming wow okay should we put it in the middle thank you so much uh may I cut the cheese please please please so that's the burrata cheese there we got some parma am on the outside and obviously on Karolina's side she's got the healthy stuff she's got the kale wow that looks so good beautiful my mouth is watering right now I wasn't hungry when I came here but now I'm hungry okay thank you so much thank you such a nice uh waiter okay so uh do you actually know what's on your side Carolina yeah it's Kane rotta so that I think it's a lemon ricotta right a lemon ricotta and I don't know what's like underneath was the sauce I think it looks like a white uh kind of Base whereas m mine is a margarita base underneath with the palah ham and the barata cheese let's dig in guys that's good you can taste um the base of the pizza it's like a thin crust crispy and then you get the saltiness of the meat and then you've got the creamy ratted cheese oh yeah and you got some garlic in there some fresh herbs all right Carolina I love mine too like there's some kale there's also some mozzarella and um tomato like paste I really love it it's very fresh and I love the fact that they're growing it just right behind me actually there's kale what the pizza's grow growing behind you no no no the kale I'm just joking all right perfect go for it [Music] I've never eaten anything like this very specific but very good what does it taste like though like pizza with kale and a lot of different flavors can you taste the lemon ricotta so actually guys there's some ricotta over here and it's very lemony and I really like the combination of like mozzarella ricotta and kale it's very fresh and fragrant but I really like like it so everything's really well thought out here you have a hand sanitizer so we used that before eating you got some wet wipes actually in here so you can just take as many wet wipes as you want cuz obviously we're eating with our hands and uh they have some chili oil which I'm going to add just a little bit on

the restaurant and I think we came over here so this is even nice you got little Pebbles that you can have and uh upstairs is where they got the air condition place but I would argue that the air condition place is probably the worst seat to go for in terms of the view and the vibe and actually you can see them preparing all the the food just in here wow I I didn't even realize they had the uh I just went past this hello they got the the CL ovens there to make the beautiful pizza pizza for peas what was your how was your first experience of pizza four piece amazing I don't remember the last
