American tourists are stunned by the super-sized hamburger in Ho Chi Minh City, priced at over 1 million.

Max McFarlin (from the US) is a famous blogger in the backpacking community and owns a YouTube channel with more than 690,000 followers. Max has been in Vietnam for more than 4 years and currently lives and works mainly in Ho Chi Minh City.

Recently, an American blogger posted a video of him experiencing a series of "super-sized" dishes in Ho Chi Minh City, making many people curious and excited. In it, Max introduced a hamburger that cost more than 1.2 million VND.

According to Max, when looking for shops in Tan Binh district, he was attracted by a long-standing, crowded roast meat shop that displayed a sandwich "bigger than a baby". Max decided to go into the store and ask about the giant sandwich.

"The bread smells good and seems to have a lot of butter. I wonder how they can make such a big loaf of bread that still tastes good," Max wondered as he held the bread in his hand.

Max decided to add 1kg of roast pork, 1kg of roast duck and 1kg of stewed pork to the sandwich. It took the help of 3 staff members to complete the giant sandwich. Each layer of cucumber, special meat sauce, roasted meat, onions and chili were neatly arranged and interwoven.

When finished, the cake weighed more than 5kg, making it tiring to carry. According to the male tourist, the cake cost 1,260,000 VND, of which 3kg of meat was calculated according to the restaurant's listed price.

Three employees helped each other to complete the giant cake.

Max tried a piece of roast meat and commented: "The outside is rich, fatty and crispy." He said that with this flavor, it is not surprising that the restaurant has existed for so long and is so popular.

Max also added that he bought the sandwich not to enjoy it himself but to share it with others. After the sandwich was carefully packaged, Max gave it to a sanitation worker he met on the street.

"I wanted to cut the cake myself and invite many people, but I believe she will share it with her friends and relatives," Max said.

The shop where Max bought the giant sandwich has been serving roast duck and roast pork for more than 20 years.

The store staff said that the bread is only a side dish sold at the shop, imported from a factory owned by a relative of the owner's family. Every day, the shop will display 4-6 "super-sized" breads at 4 locations.

If no one buys the cake on a day, the owner will cut it into small pieces, give it away to customers, or donate it to charity.

Usually, customers come to buy roast duck, roast pork or buy bread and dumplings from the shop.

According to many diners, the duck here is big, rich, with firm, sweet meat, thin, golden skin and a distinctive flavor from the marinated ingredients. Diners coming to the restaurant can see many stages of processing and receive the meat fresh from the oven, hot.

Many netizens believe that the restaurant's display is a good way to attract customers' attention. However, many people are concerned that such a large cake is unlikely to have the same aroma, soft inside, and crispy crust as regular bread.
