Recently, after some controversies involving her son, Bà Tân Vlog’s name has faded a bit and rarely pops up in online conversations. Still sticking to her old-school vlog style that’s no longer trendy, it’s no surprise that her views and engagement have noticeably dropped over time. However, just recently, Bà Tân grabbed everyone’s attention again with a wildly creative dish that few have tried before, bitter gourd stuffed with sausage.
Just hearing the name of this dish already shows how unique Bà Tân’s idea is. Both sausage and bitter gourd are familiar ingredients to many, but combining them? That’s definitely unusual. This is why her grilled sausage-stuffed bitter gourd surprisingly attracted a large number of viewers. And credit where it’s due, the final result looks pretty tasty and visually appealing.
However, Bà Tân’s method sparked mixed opinions. She soaks the whole bitter gourd in water instead of cutting it open, which many say doesn’t reduce the bitterness at all. So the dish is bound to be extremely bitter and probably won’t suit most palates. Still, as usual, Bà Tân’s kids, the regular taste testers at the end of her videos, kept praising the dish, admitting it was “just a little bitter” even though they grimaced a lot while eating.
Even though they seemed enthusiastic and finished their portions, some sharp-eyed viewers noticed one of the kids looked so bitter it brought tears to his eyes, yet he still forced himself to say it tasted good.
