Hue Food that we had when we first arrived. The best is the eecky thing on the far right bottom corner bowl of tiny clams porridge.
Pho Bo and Pork Chop Rice we had at the roadside at the Backpackers' street. Just about any roadside food here at Ho Chin Minh City is better than Malaysia's Vietnamese Kitchen. No kidding! We were very lucky coz Siang's colleagues who were Vietnamese took us to sample.......dog meat, Vietnamese style...and also with a good dash of traditional rice wine to go with it. Had a great feast of about 5 dishes made of dog meat....hmmmm... it's not as gross as you think. We also had monitor lizard and paddy mice that I won't be posting. Might just gross you out. :)
That's Kitty on the right. She says she hates that name and that her real Vietnamese name is Guan An (something to that effect). She took us to feast on snails! and clams! and Giant Clams! Coconut snails! Balitung! Had is with Xa Xi (actually Sarsi, but that's what they call it there).
