He has lived in Ho Chi Minh City for about 10 years and regularly shares videos of his travel and culinary experiences in many provinces from the South to the North.

The American guy commented that Vietnamese cuisine is very attractive. Therefore, he spent a lot of time learning and experiencing local dishes and specialties, from popular dishes to "unique" dishes, not all Western guests dare to enjoy.

When arriving in Huong Khe town (Ha Tinh province), the American YouTuber accidentally discovered a delicious and affordable dish. That is congee.

Dustin admitted that because he has eaten pho and bun cha many times, now he likes any new dish he finds and is happy to have the opportunity to enjoy it.

“I’m a bit bored with pho, vermicelli noodles or bun cha, so I’m happy with anything else I can find. It’s been a while since I’ve had congee, but I recently had similar dishes like eel congee and eel soup in Vinh City, Nghe An,” Dustin said.

According to Western guests, porridge has a delicious and unique flavor. However, this dish is served hot and can easily burn your mouth, so diners should enjoy it slowly.

After finishing the first bowl, Dustin ordered another full bowl of porridge. The American revealed that he ate more not only because it was delicious but also because he needed to regain his strength.

“I’m burning a lot of energy because I cycle every day. I burn about 9,000 calories a day, so I need to eat enough to have the energy to continue the journey,” the 36-year-old YouTuber shared.

Besides the taste, he was also surprised because the porridge dish had a reasonable price, only 25,000 VND/bowl.
