Luke Nguyen's Railway Vietnam - Season 1 - Episode 1
In this first episode Luke digs deep to find the ‘old’ markets before they all start disappearing as the Ho Chi Minh landscape in District 1 rapidly develops. Luke visits District 11 where the people specialise in the local dish mi sui cao (similar to the wonton). He learns from the ‘great aunties’ about their secret recipe styles, after all they've been cooking mi sui cao for many years. Luke then follows his sweet tooth to Marou in search of great tasting cacao and delves into the history of Vietnamese chocolate. Finally, at Binh Thanh, Luke goes prawn fishing indoors - a unique experience where you can fish, relax, drink beer and cook.
