VietFace TV talkshow feature

Hi everyone! Today, i worked with the crew of VietFace TV as they are doing a feature on me on their TV Channel, particularly with the Trong Thang Show. Trong Thang is on his first Australian trip to talk to Vietnamese-Australians of various different fields and industries. The show is targeted at the Vietnamese community around the world so I spoke Vietnamese for most of the  show (i have to admit I DID slip in a few English words because I got stuck ... but my Vietnamese is absolutely improving, I PROMISE!). Some shots throughout the process: testing...

Pho Joints in HCMC :)

Hello hello! Those who know me well enough know that i live to eat and on my last stint of Vietnam, i was taken to a few more Pho joints by my fabulous cousins! Locals know it best! No, Pho, as you know, is the official Vietnamese dish, being a rice noodle soup (pronounced 'fur' questioningly ... yes, that is the correct pronounciation of it!). The Northern style of cooking Pho is very different to the southern and the eating style differs too - for instance, the Northerners don't add fresh herbs nor do they add hoi-sin sauce but rather, fresh...
