Hà Giang là tỉnh cực Bắc thuộc Đông Bắc Việt Nam, nằm giữa Đông Bắc và Tây Bắc. Nơi đây sở hữu địa hình cao nguyên đá được UNESCO chính thức công nhận là công viên địa chất toàn cầu. Với địa hình núi đá chia cắt cùng sự đa dạng dân tộc, Hà Giang mang trong mình vô số điều mới mẻ về văn hóa, du lịch, ẩm thực. Chuyến đi lần này của Khoai khá dài, Khoai sẽ đi từ TP Hà Giang và di chuyển dần đến Đồng Văn, Lũng Cú. Mỗi điểm đến Khoai sẽ dành thời gian vài ngày ở lại. Hy vọng những chia sẻ nhỏ trong chuỗi video về nơi này sẽ mang lại cảm hứng cho những ai có ý định đến nơi địa đầu Tổ Quốc.
Ngày đầu tiên ở Hà Giang, Khoai ăn sáng bằng món bún vịt làng của người Tày bản Tùy cách TP Hà Giang vài km. Sau khi ăn sáng Khoai di chuyển bằng xe máy đến Quản Bạ và ở lại nhà của vợ chồng anh Đành người Dao Chàm*. Bữa tối mình được hiểu thêm về món "chá lào" hay còn gọi là món "tổ chúa", được ăn gà bản thả đồi cùng thịt lợn đen xào gừng nữa, nấu đơn giản nhưng ngon thiệt ngon. Dù mới biết nhau nhưng 2 anh chị xem mình như anh em trong nhà, mời rượu ngô uống muốn xỉu luôn (Phụ nữ ở đây uống rượu giỏi lắm nha, tui chịu thua đó). Chúc mọi người xem clip vui nha, mấy clip sau sẽ thú vị hơn, clip này mới khởi động à nên còn ngần ngại.
Hi. Good morning, everyone. I'm Khoai.
Welcome to Khoai Lang Thang channel.
It's about 8 am in Ha Giang city.
Behind me is Bún Vịt Làng,
one of the most famous restaurants in Bản Tùy.
Bản Tùy is about 3-4 km from Ha Giang city center.
Most of the people in Bản Tùy are Tây people.
And Bún Vịt Làng is one of their traditional dishes.
Now it's a very famous breakfast in Ha Giang city.
Now I'll go inside to order a bowl of noodles.
Then I'll introduce it to you.
This is the duck meat of Tây people.
The bowl is boiled in the boiling water first.
Then it's taken out.
And the noodles are also boiled in the boiling water.
Is this a traditional dish of Tây people?
Yes, it's a traditional dish of Tây people.
I see.
Do you make the noodles at home or do you make it by yourself?
I see.
Then pour the hot broth into the bowl.
Do you have blood?
Yes, we do.
I see.
I've just entered the seat of Bún Vịt Làng restaurant.
This is one of the most famous restaurants in this place.
And today is a weekday, so it's not very crowded.
Normally, at the end of the week,
customers have to line up to wait for the noodles.
And I've ordered a bowl of duck noodles here.
This bowl of duck noodles is 30,000 VND.
It's very big.
As you can see, there are a lot of duck meat on top.
The noodles are boiled in the boiling water.
And the soup is poured on top.
This noodle is a bit big.
This noodle is homemade.
It looks quite similar to the Hue beef noodle in Saigon.
The broth is a bit brownish.
And I've ordered an extra bowl of bamboo shoots.
A bowl of bamboo shoots like this plus a bowl of blood like this is only 30,000 VND.
And my total food is 60,000 VND.
An extra bowl of bamboo shoots, a bowl of blood and a bowl of duck noodles.
And I'll try the broth first.
The broth is quite clear and has a characteristic brown color.
The broth has a very good smell of the duck broth.
And it also has a good smell of bamboo shoots.
This is almost like the duck bamboo shoots that I often eat in Saigon.
But it's more salty.
Here, they usually give me a bowl of spices such as MSG,
cooked noodles and fish sauce.
If you want it to be more salty or sweet, you can use the spices here.
But I think it's just right.
When eating, I can put some bean sprouts in here.
I'll put bamboo shoots in here too.
And squeeze a little lemon in here.
Just a little.
Usually, I don't squeeze a lot of lemon in the noodles.
Because the noodles are usually a bit sour.
And I'll mix it up.
If you like to eat satay, you can put satay in here too.
But I really like the flavor of the broth.
So I won't put satay in here.
Put a little of this in.
Put a little of the vegetables in.
I'll put a portion of duck meat, bamboo shoots,
and some herbs in the noodles.
The noodles are very smooth.
It's very special.
Because I eat it with my mouth.
Although the noodles are very big,
but it's quite soft and smooth.
But I think
when eating, I can
eat it with the broth.
The broth will be better.
Because the noodles haven't absorbed the flavor of the duck broth.
The duck meat is very sweet and still firm.
You can imagine that this dish is almost like duck bamboo shoots in Saigon.
I really like to eat bamboo shoots.
So the bamboo shoots look very attractive.
The bamboo shoots are very crunchy.
Fragrant.
The taste is a bit sour.
A bowl of bamboo shoots like this and a bowl of blood like this is only 30,000 VND.
For someone who loves bamboo shoots and blood like me,
this part is very attractive.
This bamboo shoot is fresh bamboo shoots.
The owner will take it home and leave it overnight.
There is a traditional way to leave it overnight
to make it a bit sour,
then use this bamboo shoot to cook the noodles.
So when you eat it, you can eat it.
So when you eat it, you can keep the freshness and crunchiness of the fresh bamboo shoots,
but it still has a slightly sour taste of the bamboo shoots left overnight.
One of the special things here is that you can see that the vegetable dish has a lot of strange vegetables.
This is a vegetable that has a fragrant smell like mint and has a very sweet taste.
It is called duck bamboo shoots.
I asked the owner why this is called duck bamboo shoots.
She said she didn't know either.
But it is very coincidental.
When eating duck noodle soup, you have to eat it with this duck bamboo shoots.
This is a very normal bamboo shoots that I often eat in Saigon.
And this is a kind of mint.
Mint planted by the people of Quang Ba.
The taste is almost the same as the taste of duck bamboo shoots.
Fragrant mint smell and very sweet taste.
Now I will focus on eating my duck noodle soup.
After that, I will go by motorbike to Quang Ba.
And I hope that I will see a lot of beautiful scenery along the way.
And if you come to Ha Giang, remember to come here to try the duck noodle soup.
One of the very famous traditional Western dishes.
In front of everyone is the Bac Sum slope.
One of the first slopes when I went to Quang Ba.
The slope is like a natural wall.
So beautiful.
I have come to Quang Ba.
Down here is Quang Ba.
Here.
These are two very famous mountains in Quang Ba.
Legend has it that those are the flowers of the fairy.
After about 2 hours of driving, I have arrived at Tam Son town of Quang Ba.
Behind me is the town.
So sunny.
Because I just saw the scenery, so it took me a long time.
Can you see the two mountains over there are very even?
Here and here.
People call it Nui Doi.
Nui Doi is one of the very famous tourist destinations in Quang Ba.
Legend has it that there is a fairy.
A fairy.
Oh, there is a truck coming.
I have to get in here.
Stand here to be cool.
So noisy.
Legend has it that there was a fairy named Phai Long.
Phai Long is a monk down here.
He was very talented in the leaf-picking.
So the fairy Phai Long,
she broke the law and came down here.
She stayed with that guy.
When she found out,
she was taken back to heaven.
Because she loved her son, she left that couple.
She left that couple to have milk for her son to milk.
So this is a legend that people have been telling until now.
And now it has become one of the very famous places here.
Can you see?
The two mountains are very even.
So beautiful.
Far away on the mountain.
The sun shines down.
Now it's about afternoon.
Because the place I'm standing here is behind the mountain.
So it's still sunny here.
And over here, it's already dark.
I'm at Mr. Ly Ta Danh's house.
One of the Dao people living near Quang Ba.
I will sleep here tonight.
And Mr. Danh and I will prepare some family-style dishes.
And I will have dinner with everyone.
I have a little bit of a nosebleed.
Because the weather up here is a bit cold.
And I've been riding the wind for a while.
So I have a little bit of a nosebleed.
But it will be over soon.
Now I will go inside to help cook.
And film for everyone to see how to cook a traditional meal here.
I hope there will be a lot of delicious dishes.
This is Mr. Danh.
This is Mr. Danh, the owner of the house.
Today he has a nosebleed.
He has a nosebleed so he is a bit tired.
In front of the house, you can see that everyone is hanging a lot of corn.
This corn is only for livestock and poultry to eat.
And if the corn is for people, it will be packed and stored in a more secluded place.
My room is upstairs.
Go up the wooden stairs.
And tonight I will sleep here for a night.
This is the neighbor's house.
There are some pigs.
So cute.
They are eating grass.
It's getting dark.
I'm following Mrs. Vong.
Mrs. Vong is Mr. Danh's wife.
She is feeding the pigs.
