johann m @Johann33 08/09/2020 Great peek into the street food in nine vibrant cities in Asia and the stories of the people who craft the delicious fare. See more 07/22/2020 Me encantó! Enriquecedor Al menos a mi país le hizo justicia Me encantaría ver mas! See more 04/30/2020 I only saw the Ho Chi Minh City episode of this series and I was confused whether i was watching a documentary on street food vendors' personal life and struggles or the food itself. The story followed a lady's life as she expressed how miserable it is for her daily. Having to wake up early and hand-picking snails. The narrative and tone of roughly 30 minutes was super negative and full of self-pity. The street food doesn't seem to be the focus here. The story was a poor attempt to appeal to our emotions and play on our compassion for this lady's struggle. I actually have been living in Vietnam for 6 years now and I do not think she is miserable. She's definitely not driving Porsches but she's also not starving. She is leading a very acceptable life in Vietnam. The mentions of loan sharks and one of her child who passes away. Then all the ritual and praying for her child. I fully respect what she does. It's a tradition here in Vietnam. But...what does it have ANYTHING to do with street food? Overall, I felt a complete waste of time due to: - inaccuracies of the life in Vietnam - negative narrative - pretentious appeal to our emotions - and very little focus on the actual street foods After this episode, I don't think anybody understood that much more about Vietnamese street food in Ho Chi Minh City. Nor did it entice people to even try any of the food. So what was actually the purpose of this? Did i get misled into thinking this is about street food? When it's actually about the misery of street food vendors lives in Vietnam? I think just about any street food reviewer on Youtube is more deserving of time than this. See more 04/19/2020 Misleading title. I wanted to see a variety of street foods with no nonsense but what I got was a show attempting to tug at your emotions. I'm okay with that premise but dude, if you're show is titled 'street food", just do your job and show us a variety. I'm not here for a street vendors life journey. See more 09/09/2019 As someone who has traveled most of the Asian countries portrayed and tried a lot of street food, I really enjoyed this documentary series - the Japan and Singapore episodes were particularily great! See more 04/27/2019 I simply loved this documentary. To me street art ,I consider food is one and dance and music all accessible to public directly.The passion behind it all felt by the audience and celebrated. I give it % 100 See more Read all reviews
