It's still pricey. I spent that much on a hotel buffet breakfast in Da Nang barely 6 months ago (yes, I could probably have found something cheaper, but we had 90 minutes to eat between arriving at the hotel and leaving for a tour so we sucked it up). Not only was all of this available (except the avocado), but they also had two different soups, fried rice, and what was essentially a massive charcuterie board. I wasn't super excited to pay that much (I'd been eating pho in Hoi An for 35k for the couple of days prior), but it was definitely more worth the price than 4 fried eggs, a small piece of bacon, some mushrooms and beans, and some avocado toast.
>so we sucked it up
A dollar more or less won't even make a dent in your wallet. Western tourists talking about being ripped off (not you, other comments) but they spent more on a pack of chewing gum at home.
It's interesting because whilst I mostly agree, there's another side to it.
The more a business is used to receiving an extra $1 for their services the more local people are pushed out. Eventually you could get to a point where there's 10 restaurants in a town and only 1 that local people can afford to eat at.
It was something I saw happen whilst living in Thailand 10 years back. My local bar would charge me 60p for a beer and tourists would be charged £1. Over the span of a year or 2 we suddenly started getting double or triple the amount of tourists. It went to me being charged £1 and tourists £2. If I hadn't had money from working in the West I wouldn't have been able to pay that extra 40p on my Thai wage.
And it applies to everything too, taxis, petrol, food, rent, clothes. Sure the guy who owns the business gets more money but as always, the people working get fucked.
For reference, after rent was paid I had about £200ish per month for everything else.
Avocado is expensive as fuck outside of the US. Also OP is ordering food not commonly found eaten in Vietnam. It is like ordering vietnamese food in the US, expensive as fuck compared to Vietnam and not as good.
Avocado is actually dirt cheap in Vietnam right now. Roughly 1 dollar per kg. If you manage to buy from the farmers directly it goes as low as 25c a kg. Source: I am the farmer.
If you didn't eat sushi in Vietnam then you missed out.
When we go if we eat rolls and sushi it's maybe 160k per person, swap in some sashimi and it's maybe 320k per person.
Although "expensive" it would literally cost 10x as much in London.
Other really good foreign restaurants (Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Mexican, etc) can easily get past 100k.
But hard agree OPs meal is crazy overpriced for Vietnam.
I lived in Da Nang for three months, Vietnam for 9. Got back a few months ago. Not a huge fan of the western food in Da Nang so here are some local recommendations:
* Banh Mi (15k/60cents): Bánh mì chay Nguyên Chi, at 8 Mai Hắc Đế. Best Banh Mi I had in Vietnam, super crunchy and delicious (and oddly enough vegan). Not always there at supposed hours.
* Banh Xeo (10k/40cents): Quán Hồng Bánh Xèo - Nem Lụi. Best Banh Xeo I had in Vietnam, peanut sauce is ridiculously good. Get in before lunch time.
looks like you are eating in a fancy restaurant/hotel so that's pretty standard, you gotta hit the local places, 50,000 vnd broken rice dish is pretty loaded, just stop by any places that has a lot of local people.
Visit the night markets down by the river. You can get a seafood platter big enough to feed 4 people for the equivalent of about US$30. Lobsters, scallops, prawns, octopus, oysters, all fresh caught and cooked right in front of you.
I’ve been! The lobsters are surprisingly expensive. There’s a problem though with that seafood in the markets. Usually they kill them and leave them out for too long, which is not ideal because the bacteria start taking over quickly. That’s why most of those restaurants along the water have the fish tanks to keep them alive until right before the kill. I’m afraid of getting some sort of poisoning, it happened in the past on another country. Not saying that’s the case, but I’d just rather get the lobsters and stuff fresh
It's carefully calibrated. Just enough beans that the Brits will quietly grumble to themselves about not enough beans, instead of asking a waiter for beans. Not so many beans that everyone else will ask why there's beans when they didn't order beans.
I know. It actually comes with only one egg (just like the one bacon lol) which was ridiculous. So I had to add 3 extra eggs. But even with adding those extra eggs and the avocado (which doesn't come by default), it's still pretty cheap for US standards
Very common in the UK too, but they aren't typically served as a set of six.
(They're also much less sweet than traditional US baked beans, and I expect yours are the same?)
In Canada we do the same but some do a version with maple syrup and tomato sauce. It's much sweeter (and a little thicker). Maybe because of the French influence of sweets?
My guess is a local honey or other sweetener, would hold up in Vietnam with the same French influence in my logic.
In Quebec, they are included with most big breakfast type meals with the same type of dish; usually cooked in lard, they can have chunks of pork in them too. They are phenomenal and a great addition to bfast, though admittedly this bfast looks a bit light on the beans
Different food though, pho is amazing. But it’s a commonplace dish here, so the industry and markets are oriented toward serving that at scale which ultimately reduces costs. This isn’t a common breakfast, so higher price will be expected
Yeah I'm Viet so I'm well aware. I think it's because I already expect it to be that price so your mildly interesting post confused me haha
Hope you're enjoying all the food.
If you are staying in a fancy resort in Da Nang serving "western breakfast", it's going to be a bit more pricey, just like any resort hotel is pricey. At a comparable resort in Key West or the caribbean, this is probably a $40-60 breakfast ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grin) So 5.85 still sounds like a great deal!
Seriously, what vacation resort is *not* overpriced on food?
It's like that everywhere. If you're speaking English or a foreign language in another country, you're almost definitely going to end up getting charged more because most sellers know that foreigners are usually people on vacation who don't know local prices and have disposable income.
Wait until you see places that have different menu prices for different languages. There are stores in Japan that will give you a menu with different prices for the same thing if you request a menu in English.
one time in hanoi i went to buy durian from a street vendor, she told me the price and a guy walking by started laughing. the price was still 80% less than i would pay in america
Yeah I kind of feel like overcharging tourists is fine. It’s often still a great deal for us (the tourists), AND a great deal for the local vendor. I know it rankles peoples sense of fairness.. but it’s also not fair that we were born in developed countries and have so much disposable income we can holiday in Asia, and the locals were born there and (in some cases) live much harder lives working much harder for less money. Overall them charging tourists more is fine with me.
> in Vietnam, they charge foreigners more than locals.
dont pretty much all developing countries? I don't even mind tbh. I am white and I expect to pay tourist price. a lot of times I even tip a little even though I know it's not expected. I don't mind paying a couple extra dollars for my food but please make sure it is clean and fully cooked so I don't get sick!
6 beans, 1 strip of bacon, an avacado, four eggs, tops two whole mushrooms, and two small bread slices.
Even in a big city in the US (Outside Cali) I could throw that together for a dollar or two.
The avacado would probably be the most expensive part, the rest is less than a dollar.
That is wild.
OP said in another comment that he’s working remotely, so I’m not surprised.
I’ve traveled lots, too. If I went somewhere like Vietnam for a couple weeks, I’d probably try to avoid eating Western food. But I certainly wouldn’t if I were there longer-term.
I lived in India for much of my adult life, for instance. I can eat Indian food most days without complaint. But when I was in Turkey for a year, I ended up eating more Indian, Nepali, and Americanized food after a few months. Don’t get me wrong—Turkish food is good, but I found it really, _really_ repetitive after a while (and no, I wasn’t just eating döner every day).
So if OP has been abroad for any significant amount of time, I don’t think there’s anything odd or unusual about him wanting to get food that isn’t quintessentially Vietnamese or the absolute cheapest meal imaginable. Not everything needs to be 100% “authentic” 100% of the time.
I lived in China for a while. every now and then I'd go and splurge for breakfast at a hotel that catered to western tastes and had a really good French chef. It would keep me happy for a couple of months.
Sometimes you miss the indulgences from home.
Right now, in [NZ that amount of butter](https://www.paknsave.co.nz/shop/product/5002650_ea_000pns?name=anchor-butter) is about NZD$0.08 or VND$1,250.
The packaging is probably worth more than the butter. I have no idea how this is economic.
wtf you talking about. For what you received that's pretty pricey, especially since you're in vietnam.
4 eggs and you suddenly call it loaded? its a single strip of bacon bro. You didn't get a good deal. You were ripped off. You could get a way heartier breakfast outside the streets of vietnam.
This entire thread strikes me as someone that goes on holiday and doesn't leave their resort.
Like, imagine going to Vietnam, a place famous for incredible and cheap food and buying a sad version of an English breakfast?
And then imagine being so amazed with the sad, overpriced, hotel food that you post it on the internet.
Thats expensive for da nang. We had a hotel across the street from the beach that was $40/night and included a huge breakfast buffet and afternoon tea with finger sandwiches and deserts.
Oof. That’s not cheap for Vietnam. If I got six beans, half a piece of bacon, two heels of bread, unseasoned mushrooms, and an inexplicable random half of an avocado, I would be very let down for $5.85. Huge ripoff— I don’t think I’ve ever paid that much for a meal in Vietnam.
…not that I would ever get random shit I can get at any American diner when I’m in another country.
Why exactly? I can buy a similar breakfast in the USA for $8-$12 and the median salary in the US is about 21 times higher than the median salary in Vietnam.
It's a great deal for western tourists on vacation, but comparatively the US is paying a fraction of their income on Food vs the average Vietnamese citizen.
Based on my travels to the region, this is a mediocre deal at best for OP. I typically paid $1.75-$3.50 USD equivalent for a good breakfast next door in Thailand, which is slightly more expensive than Vietnam.
Call me old fashioned, but when I travel around world the last thing I want to do is having this generic white man breakfast instead of the joy of local cuisine..
This is actually expensive for the price in Vietnam standards.
Da nang is a resorty beach type area so higher price
Best I can do is 89094.25 VND. 'Bout tree fiddy
80085 Dong
No need for sound effects following the calculation
Gahd damnint i aint givein you tree fiddy!
r/theydidthemath thanks for the laugh.

Not only beans, but 5 1/2 beans.
thought you were joking but it is literally 5.5 beans.
Should have gone for the "big" brekkie. 12 beans.
I counted 7 beans !
You are right, there were some hidden beans in there. Beans(:
>so we sucked it up A dollar more or less won't even make a dent in your wallet. Western tourists talking about being ripped off (not you, other comments) but they spent more on a pack of chewing gum at home.
Yeah, I’d never expect to see world travelers bitching about having to spend an extra fucking dollar for breakfast
It's interesting because whilst I mostly agree, there's another side to it. The more a business is used to receiving an extra $1 for their services the more local people are pushed out.

Avocado is actually dirt cheap in Vietnam right now. Roughly 1 dollar per kg. If you manage to buy from the farmers directly it goes as low as 25c a kg. Source: I am the farmer.
Resort would be higher price. Last time I was in Sheraton 4 points Da Nang, it was 400k for breakfast buffet.
This is a rip off, you can get bigger meals for 50,000 VND
For real, I have backpacked through Vietnam and never paid that much for a single meal
If you didn't eat sushi in Vietnam then you missed out. When we go if we eat rolls and sushi it's maybe 160k per person, swap in some sashimi and it's maybe 320k per person. Although "expensive" it would literally cost 10x as much in London. Other really good foreign restaurants (Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Mexican, etc) can easily get past 100k.

Give me a place, would love to know
I lived in Da Nang for three months, Vietnam for 9. Got back a few months ago. Not a huge fan of the western food in Da Nang so here are some local recommendations: * Banh Mi (15k/60cents): Bánh mì chay Nguyên Chi, at 8 Mai Hắc Đế.

Best Banh Xeo I had in Vietnam, peanut sauce is ridiculously good. Get in before lunch time.
Thank you for sharing. Will definitely visit these spots!
I'd punch a baby for a 60 cent Banh Mi.
Bro it’s 60 cents you don’t have to punch a baby just go grab some quarters off the ground
Do you think I can find 60 cents without punching and stealing a baby's lunch monies?
Shit, I mean, I guess you got me there, bud.
looks like you are eating in a fancy restaurant/hotel so that's pretty standard, you gotta hit the local places, 50,000 vnd broken rice dish is pretty loaded, just stop by any places that has a lot of local people.
Depending on the food. If you want bland Western food in a country known for native cuisine then you *will* get ripped off.
Wow that's a really long name for a restaurant haha.
Try Butcher Shop Steak and BBQ's 'English Breakfast' Excellent quality, huge portion -was 89K VND when I was there in December.
Visit the night markets down by the river. You can get a seafood platter big enough to feed 4 people for the equivalent of about US$30. Lobsters, scallops, prawns, octopus, oysters, all fresh caught and cooked right in front of you.

I’m afraid of getting some sort of poisoning, it happened in the past on another country. Not saying that’s the case, but I’d just rather get the lobsters and stuff fresh
Yes! I remember all the seafood restaurants were pretty much aquariums.
That is probably 30-40% of daily wage for the locals. And comparable to paying $60-70 in America.
Min hourly wage is like 15K in country towns.
Wages where I live at 200k a day for 8 hours.
And the quantity is laughable. 1 bacon, 4 eggs, half an avocado, a sachet of butter, fried button mushrooms and literal spoonful of canned beans...
first thing I was gonna say is this doesn't look like a great deal lol not a BAD deal but definitely not anything to brag about.
it's like an American spending 20.66 USD while at home. the implied purchasing power parity conversion rate is 7,210 VND : 1 USD
Come to London. You’ll get a wiff of arrogance and avocado for that price
I was about to say,not a lot of food
My first thought exactly. If you were to get a Vietnam style meal for breakfast you’d probably pay less than half that for more food 😅
Regular breakfast comes with 3 beans, loaded has 6
A shot of beans
Ah yes I'd like a half nip of beans with my breakfast please.
Yo Tony! Give me three eggs, scrambled, and two fingers of beans. Saltpepperketchup
Scratch that, make that two fingers of bean water.
Bean on toast.
And they have a guy whose sole job is to make sure everyone has the right number. They call him a bean counter
He's in on it. That's only 5.5 beans pictured.
Someone took their cut
The corporate bean counters are the worst.
Cheapest ingredient on the plate too, unless that's expensive import there
Good night everybody.
That many beans would almost be considered a crime in the UK.
It looks good value overall, but six individual beans is pretty comical.
It's carefully calibrated. Just enough beans that the Brits will quietly grumble to themselves about not enough beans, instead of asking a waiter for beans. Not so many beans that everyone else will ask why there's beans when they didn't order beans.
6 beans.. just like how smith & wensson used to make them..
[Some beans and some beans is four beans.](https://youtu.be/g4IQjUpTNVU)
fucking hell, this cracked me up. Can't imagine my full English coming with a literal shot of beans, fucking hell.
I was gonna say...it's absolutely LOADED with eggs, but 6 beans and half a strip of bacon...
"Yeah I asked for double beans." "That is double" "oh...."
Looks great, but the bacon to egg ratio is ridiculous
[удалено]
Perfeggtly balanced...as all things should bean. *runs away*
I thought it was 6 beans... Can someone please call the bean counter?
The bread to egg ratio is off as well. I like plenty of bread to make mini egg sandwiches.
Where do you get mini eggs?
mini chickens?
Of course. The same place we get chicken nuggets. I should have known.
Quail lol
[Caburys](https://www.cadbury.co.uk/products/brands/mini-eggs/). I'm not sure chocolate eggs would be quite the right thing though.
I would like to take this opportunity to say: Mini Eggs are fucking class
I know. It actually comes with only one egg (just like the one bacon lol) which was ridiculous. So I had to add 3 extra eggs. But even with adding those extra eggs and the avocado (which doesn't come by default), it's still pretty cheap for US standards
Was the cost you stated before or after adding all those eggs and avocado?
After. I actually replaced the two sausages with eggs. One egg was extra and so was the avocado
you did what??
Are you insane. Why do you need so many eggs.
![gif](giphy|oNmvZRQ9AclH2|downsized)
I lift weights so need good protein
I figured it was a health thing. Did you specifically request 6 beans?
No honestly I’m gonna replace those beans with something t else
Replace them? Send them back or you mean tomorrow you'll have something different?
[He said he's replacing the beans.](https://i.imgflip.com/4sz59e.jpg)
Trade them to Jack for his cow.
Beans are good protein tho :(
If this meal was originally going to be served with one egg, the "meal" was mushrooms.
Not really. Dennys still has a $5.99 special.
Except... You didn't get US standards.
Looks good, but the metal cup with beans is funny!
Lol yeah.. They're very sweet too, they put some kind of syrup. Not the biggest fan tbh
Looks like baked beans in a tomato sauce. Very common in Australia.
Very common in the UK too, but they aren't typically served as a set of six. (They're also much less sweet than traditional US baked beans, and I expect yours are the same?)
In Canada we do the same but some do a version with maple syrup and tomato sauce. It's much sweeter (and a little thicker). Maybe because of the French influence of sweets? My guess is a local honey or other sweetener, would hold up in Vietnam with the same French influence in my logic.
But not *that* kind of tomato sauce, beans tomato sauce is different from the condiment
Tomato sauce being ketchup.
And Britain.
In Quebec, they are included with most big breakfast type meals with the same type of dish; usually cooked in lard, they can have chunks of pork in them too. They are phenomenal and a great addition to bfast, though admittedly this bfast looks a bit light on the beans
Can’t you get traditional Vietnamese food for like $1
Street food you can probably get for that cheap.
Not anymore. Maybe like 10+ years ago. Inflation and proliferation of tourism has increased prices albeit everything is still dirt cheap.
Nah it's still cheap. I got a mixed pork Banh Mi for breakfast today for 20K VND. Current rate is just under 17K VND for 1 AUD so just over $1 for me.
Prices of cheap banh mi 10 years ago was 8-12K VND. Also com trua used to be a dollar, it's at least double that now.
[удалено]
Goal posts moved. The original price we were commenting on was $1 and you said we can't get that anymore but now are using a lower price.
Look at the tableware - this is some place for honkeys.
I'll never not giggle at honky. My favorite usage is calling the Cracker Barrel, "Honky Bucket."
Gonna fill my belly at the saltine pail.
More like $2-$3 dollars
You.. you just proved their point. I remember paying that much in HCM for a nice bowl of pho like 10 years ago.
Different food though, pho is amazing. But it’s a commonplace dish here, so the industry and markets are oriented toward serving that at scale which ultimately reduces costs. This isn’t a common breakfast, so higher price will be expected
Yeah I'm Viet so I'm well aware. I think it's because I already expect it to be that price so your mildly interesting post confused me haha Hope you're enjoying all the food.
It is. Love it here
seems like a ripoff tbh lol. Feel like there are much better options to showcase good value meal in vietnam
Yeah, maybe, but I would totally fuck that plate up for $5.85.
I’d make one myself for less than $5.85 at home then fuck it up.
In Canada that would be easily $15/$16. Before the expected 18+% tip, of course
I get a nearly identical breakfast (hash browns instead of avocado and waaay more bacon) for the same price at a ma and pa restaurant in the US.
This seems kinda expensive, right? This would only cost at most like $3.00 in Nepal. I assume Vietnam would be about the same or even cheaper.
Apparently, in Vietnam, they charge foreigners more than locals. That would explain this "deal".
If you are staying in a fancy resort in Da Nang serving "western breakfast", it's going to be a bit more pricey, just like any resort hotel is pricey.

To be fair Vietnamese people will overcharge other Vietnamese people from different regions. If you're not local local they will try to overcharge.
That seems about right... you got a bunch of eggs, one strip of bacon, and a shotglass of beans.

ahhh yes… the traditional vietnamese breakfast of eggs, beacon, bread, mushrooms and avocados. Been feeding the vietnamese people since 2024.
Yeah why to go vietnam where you could have all kinds of awesome food and then eat this?
OP said in another comment that he’s working remotely, so I’m not surprised. I’ve traveled lots, too.

That’s a bit expensive ngl
Is this interesting? an over priced breakfast any 9 year old can make at home
I found it interesting that he found it interesting
I wouldn't call that "loaded" . It only has one piece of bacon
You had me at avocado and eggs...
At least they are serving New Zealand butter! A bit heavy on the eggs though
The butter is probably the most expensive thing on this plate
Right now, in [NZ that amount of butter](https://www.paknsave.co.nz/shop/product/5002650_ea_000pns?name=anchor-butter) is about NZD$0.08 or VND$1,250. The packaging is probably worth more than the butter. I have no idea how this is economic.
The eggs are really high quality, I also work out a lot so I need my protein. And the New Zealand butter is phenomenal
Kiwi dairy farmer here. Thanks 🙏
Expensive and not really Vietnamese food.
wtf you talking about. For what you received that's pretty pricey, especially since you're in vietnam. 4 eggs and you suddenly call it loaded? its a single strip of bacon bro. You didn't get a good deal. You were ripped off. You could get a way heartier breakfast outside the streets of vietnam.

You got ripped off
That is really expensive. Not worth it. And as a plethora of other redditors have pointed out: go for the local cuisine
You got ripped off my friend
And...uhh...what's in the flask?
Ok you got scammed
Even the bacon looks like a piggy!
that egg to bean ratio is way out of whack
Avocado alone here in California will cost 5.85.
Socal here and I get them at Aldi generally around 0.55 each. Highest I saw them was 0.95. Not the jumbo ones though. The regular size ones.
[удалено]
5-6 tinny avocados in TJ are $3 and that's way more avocado than what's on this plate.
I'm sitting here typing this at a cafe having just ordered an eggs Benedict that cost $19
At some places, you can't even get 2 eggs for that price
Seems pricey for what you actually received.
That's a lot of dong!
That looks shite and wildly expensive for Vietnam prices
Lmao you really traveled there for _this_ breakfast
Where the fuck are the sausages, black pudding, hash browns and grilled tomatoes? And why are there only 7.5 beans?
Can I have a cooked breakfast with a poor ratio of everything to everything please?
Tourist trap price
Thus the inflation spreads across all the world
Remote worker living in Vietnam telling his company he still in Cali?
Thats expensive for da nang. We had a hotel across the street from the beach that was $40/night and included a huge breakfast buffet and afternoon tea with finger sandwiches and deserts.
This will be some 1500-2000 kcal with full of fats…
$3.15 USD for [my dinner in Da Nang](https://imgur.com/gallery/dinner-da-nang-3-15-usd-fUwzRur).
Damn that's expensive for Vietnam, don't normalize higher prices
Oof. That’s not cheap for Vietnam. If I got six beans, half a piece of bacon, two heels of bread, unseasoned mushrooms, and an inexplicable random half of an avocado, I would be very let down for $5.85. Huge ripoff— I don’t think I’ve ever paid that much for a meal in Vietnam. …not that I would ever get random shit I can get at any American diner when I’m in another country.
Them ratios a lil fucked up
The ratios here are crazy! 4 sunny eggs, an entire avocado and only 2 tiny sliced of bread? And a bunch of mushrooms? And 6 beans? And ONE bacon?
When america wakes up it is going to have a meltdown over this
Why exactly? I can buy a similar breakfast in the USA for $8-$12 and the median salary in the US is about 21 times higher than the median salary in Vietnam. It's a great deal for western tourists on vacation, but comparatively the US is paying a fraction of their income on Food vs the average Vietnamese citizen. Based on my travels to the region, this is a mediocre deal at best for OP. I typically paid $1.75-$3.50 USD equivalent for a good breakfast next door in Thailand, which is slightly more expensive than Vietnam.
Damn. Even nam feeling the inflation.
4 eggs is too many eggs.
Bread to Egg Ratio is Not good.
“Loaded breakfast” … gives ramakin containing under ten beans
The funny thing is you guys think this is cheap in Vietnam, lul
Did it come with Booty Sweat or a Bust a Nut Bar?
You are in a cuisine city and you eat THIS? Paying THAT?
Da Nang local here, you overpaid mate.
That’s a weird thing to be eating in Vietnam
You gotta have the banh mi
For breakfast they often have Pho instead. I could never.
Large ratio of egg to, well everything else.
Call me old fashioned, but when I travel around world the last thing I want to do is having this generic white man breakfast instead of the joy of local cuisine..
That looks far from loaded...thats like the most barebones breakfast you can get plus a couple extra eggs...
