Food in Vietnam

one option available in this restaurant

Food in Vietnam is not as spicy and is often more oily than in Thailand, Laos and Cambodia. Food in Vietnam seems to be more expensive than in Thailand or Laos. Soups tend to be very delicious.

the typical wrap with either lettuce or rice paper to do the wrap.
natural colors added to rice and cooked to a thin layer around the metal pan to make a nice, crispy rice snack
I am rolling out rice paper which is later put through a slicer to make rice noodles. Again, natural colors are added.
the completed noodles with the natural coloring bases in the basket, vegetables and herbs
a nice beer, not as well promoted by the country as Beer Lao is promoted in Laos. Drinking seems to be done in much more modest portions than in Laos.
interesting tea variety
almost anywhere you can find this tin sifter set to put coffee grounds and poor coffee to get a nice single pour. However, the holes are a little small and the grind also very small so the coffee tends to coagulate in the holes and the drip slows to something you may not want to wait for. It isn’t a fool proof system like a french press.
well, international food is available in big cities and tourist areas.
it is called a Vietnam Pizza but very different ingredients you can select from street vendors.
the Vietnam Pizza in the making
a typical broth/meat/herb dish; one of the nicest varieties.
rice/chicken dish with a delicious soup and pickles.
the top of this building has speakers squaking out sparrow songs to attract sparrows to come and create nests in the building holes so they can harvest the nests, held together by bird spit and excrement, the makings of bird nest soup.
