The Food

My favorite vietnamese dishes-

Banh Xeo- a prawn and sprouts omelette that you roll up with lettuce and mint and dip in nuoc mam (fish sauce) and chilies. damn good.

Banh Cuon- pork and greens rolled up in a gooey steamed rice tortilla

Clams- you shuck a clam and chop it up with spring onions and peanuts. put it back in the half shell with some spices and put it on the grill. When it's good, it's heavenly.

Bun(noodles), grilled pork, spring rolls greens, carrots, and peanuts drizzled with nuoc mam.

Pho, pho, pho.

Sugar cane wrapped in shrimp paste and baked. Then you wrap it up in lettuce and greens like Banh Xeo.

Bun Bo Hue- beef noodle soup.

Mangosteens- if you've never had a mangosteen, your life is incomplete. This is my favorite fruit evar!

Che- a cold sweet rice soup with green algae gummy worms. If that sounds gross to you, then there's more for me.
