Food vlogging is growing in popularity in Bangladesh, which was unimaginable even a few years ago. With the number of restaurants also rising and the food items being more diverse than ever, food vloggers have become more of a quality and price checker for the general public before they venture into these restaurants.
However, a few food vloggers have gained popularity and become fan favourites.
Rafsan the Chotobhai
Rafsan the Chotobhai is the most common name in Bangladesh's food vlogging scene. His easygoing attitude, combined with his ability to expose fraudulent as well as overhyped places with ease, goes quite well with the viewers.
He has also become a fan favourite due to his ability to appeal to the masses, despite coming from a position of privilege. He is also an entertainer, which goes over pretty well with the viewers.
Adnan Faruque Hillol
Although it's quite hard to match Rafsan's youthful exuberance, Adnan Faruque Hillol himself does a great job when it comes to food vlogging from a more mature perspective.
Being a famous actor before taking up this side hustle of being a food vlogger, Hillol amassed quite a following within a pretty short period, courtesy of his no-nonsense style where he doesn't beat around the bush when it comes to telling the viewers if something is wrong or not.
Petuk Couple
This time, it is not a single person but rather a couple who like to call themselves 'Petuk Couple,' which roughly translates to 'food-loving couple'. They mostly indulge in reviewing meat-related items and items that are quite traditional and local to many different areas. Their wholesomeness has already garnered a lot of fans following, not only on Facebook but also on other social media sites.
KhudaLagse
KhudaLagse is the first solo female food vlogger on this list. She reviews different food items and many different things, such as hotels and resorts. She often compares different platters offered in various restaurants, which is objectively quite helpful in choosing a suitable platter to dine out.
Zoltan BD
Zoltan BD is another popular food vlogger whose popularity can mostly be attributed to negative publicity. Her food reviews, in most cases, are extreme exaggerations, and most viewers find her style of reviewing food items quite a cringe.
Hence, her rise to the top of the food vlogging scene seems mostly due to cringe-worthy contents.
