Lindo is one of Quang Linh’s closest brothers in Angola. He has been with Quang Linh since they worked together at the ice factory. People were impressed by this Angolan guy through the funny clips that Quang Linh “trolled” Lindo, and his honesty and fluency in Vietnamese, the best in the African team.
Besides recording daily life in Angola, Lindo also loves cooking. He knows how to cook many Vietnamese dishes, and recently, this Angolan guy showed off his talent in making and selling Vietnamese pork sausage wrapped in lolot leaves at the local market.
Lindo sold the pork sausages wrapped in lolot leaves for 3,000 VND each.
Lindo prepared all the ingredients from A to Z, exclaiming, “Vietnamese spices are amazing!”
Lindo prepared all the ingredients for the pork sausages, including lolot leaves, minced meat, seasoning powder, pepper, fish sauce, and cooking oil. Interestingly, Lindo also knows some “local language”; he said “soup” instead of the usual “seasoning powder.”
Lindo seasoned the meat with a little bit of this and that, exclaiming, “That’s enough,” “It smells so good, guys,” and “I can smell it already, Lindo.” He also added a little cooking oil to the meat, mixed it well, and started wrapping the sausages.
“We don’t have any ‘plastic hands’ here, guys,” Lindo said, referring to the lack of plastic gloves, so he had to use a plastic bag to cover his hands. However, as the bag was not suitable for wrapping, he had to take it off, assuring, “My hands are clean now, don’t worry.”
Lindo’s careful and meticulous way of wrapping the sausages shows his cooking skills. He even knows how to secure the leaf stems to keep the sausages intact. Many Vietnamese women might not be as skilled as Lindo.
A small stall in the market with a sign “Selling pork sausages wrapped in lolot leaves” in both Vietnamese and Angolan languages
In the middle of the Angolan market, Lindo and his wife set up a small food stall selling the pork sausages he had just made. Each sausage was sold for 50 Kwanza (approximately 3,000 VND).
Lindo showed his business acumen by frying the sausages at the market, filling the air with a delicious aroma that attracted many curious customers. In addition to selling the sausages, he also prepared a dipping sauce with an authentic Vietnamese taste. Many people who tried it were impressed and asked to buy more, keeping Lindo and his wife busy.
