I’m Victor and I grew up around different parts of Oakland, CA. In the “My Oakland” series, I highlight a few areas of the town I spent a lot of time in, and of course, that means eating a lot in these areas. In this episode, I highlight Oakland’s Little Saigon, also known as New Chinatown or the Eastlake area. As of 2019, business owners lobbied for the town to officially recognize the area as Little Saigon, as many major cities with big Vietnamese communities have done as well. There’s a lot of staples here that have been around for longer than I’ve been alive. Please excuse my poor Vietnamese pronunciations too lol I’ve been eating Vietnamese food my entire life but have never been able to pick up some of the language. Enjoy! Spots highlighted: • Bui Phong Bakery • Banh Mi Ba Le • Pho Ga Huong Que Cafe • Pho Ao Sen • Pho King • Thanh Ky • Cam Huong Did You Eat Yet? is a short video series by Victor, highlighting food and the stories that come from food. Collection One: Where I’m From highlights Victor’s roots: A first generation Chinese American, born in Oakland, and raised around the entire East Bay. We highlight traditional Chinese recipes, hear stories from friends and family, explore the Bay Area, and share the most quintessential Oakland taco tour ever captured. New episodes will be released soon. Please like and subscribe to our channel for more!

Note from Oakland News Now Blog, Zennie62 YouTube, and Zennie62Media: this Oakland News Online Blog video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018, originally on Zennie62Media , Inc.’s Oakland News Now. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. This is what we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a “liked” YouTube video by a vlogger with the Zennie62 on YouTube Partner Channel, then that YouTube video is uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Online Blog site and Zennie62Media -created and owned social media pages. The overall objective is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours. Now, news is reported with a smartphone: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary, thus less chance for Oakland News Online Blog, Zennie62 YouTube vloggers to be robbed. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners. This process is entirely within YouTube terms of service, where embedding of videos for use on websites and platforms is allowed and encouraged.
