The most watched video published on Tuesday last week follows Tan’s making of a gigantic 60-liter bubble tea which had attracted more than 6.7 million views at the time of publishing.
Other dishes cooked in copious amounts by the 58-year-old woman include Vietnamese fried fish balls (4.4 million views) and a spicy hotpot (four million views).
Tan’s running commentary, "this must be the biggest bubble tea cup in Vietnam" or "I have never cooked such a big dish in my life," seems to have struck a chord, with thousands responding positively to her reminder that viewers like and support her channel.
Her channel has been active since February 2018, but the first video was only published on May 4.
With a total of 21 videos, Ba Tan Vlog (Mrs. Tan Vlog) has collected over 61.8 million views and 1,475,874 million subscribers in the last 25 days. This equals approximately 57,000 people subscribing to her channel every day.
According to Social Blade stats, the channel launched by the native of the northern Bac Giang Province is also fetching between $18,100 and $289,500 a month.
Ba Tan Vlog's cover photo reveals her diminutive stature. She weighs 32 kg and is 1.1 meter tall. Her Facebook page has gotten over 316,000 likes.

One of the channels linked to hers is the Hung Vlog which belongs to her son and has over 1.2 million subscribers. 29-year-old Nguyen Van Hung publishes videos that document daily experiences like buying a motorbike for his sister and trying a water motorcycle for the first time. His channel also promotes staged story lines with moral messages.
He has been helping build and develop his mom’s channel, resulting in its viral popularity.
Tan told local media on Sunday that the idea of the channel was suggested by him. She is in charge of cooking, while Hung and another son help with filming and online marketing.
