HA GIANG VIETNAM – Welcome to Ha Giang, in the mountains of northern Vietnam, on the border of China. Today we’re with Mr. Thien at his homestay where he and his family will be cooking a full Tay People festival meal – including a five colored sticky rice, a whole duck, a whole pig, and a fish.

A big thank you to YESD Travel Vietnam for making this happen: https://yesd.org/ Highly recommended for authentic and responsible tours in Vietnam.

When we arrived they were already beginning the meal preparations. We were lucky to see the entire cooking process from start to finish. One of the traditional foods of the Tay People is five colored sticky rice, each color made from a natural coloring and steamed. Along with the sticky rice we had a huge assortment of pork dishes, including fresh blood and organ sausage, boiled meat, grilled meat, and probably my favorite of the meal – roasted duck stuffed with Kumquat leaves.

When the food was ready, they presented it on trays over banana leaves with a chili dipping sauce. Food in Northern Vietnam is not only about eating, but it’s about socializing, talking, drinking, and eating together.

  1. If I'm going to drink, then I would've eaten an hour or so before drinking, I wouldn't want to waste all of the collective effort put into bringing forth such a banquet feast of a meal only to 🤮 it all out later, never both at the same time.
    🪙🪙

  2. Mark, you are so frontline with the culture and how they prepare food right from the beginning. I’m in awe and very grateful you share this with us. It’s really another world!

  3. This might have been the most difficult show to shoot,,those people cant give Mark time to explain but I guess the wine is whining in their heads…Much love Bro, come to Kenya

  4. Worst video ever. It was very distressing to see that friendly duck be carried by it's wings to go to die. I'm not a crazy vegan or anything, but you didn't have to show it.

  5. I wanna try their sea foods for which they are famous.
    I try their Pangasius fish fillets exported to so many countries.
    In this video I loved the natural colored five types of rice, although not sure of their tastes.

  6. The fact that we get free food & travel videos on YouTube by Mark is truly a gift. 👏👏👏

  7. When Mark said it was the BEST blood sausage he ever had, I believed him. That blood sausage looks delicious.
