[HCM] Get Smokey and Indulge – Com Tam Ba Ghien

When I was in Vietnam, I tried to have different kind of meals, like fabulous noodles, and finger-licking banh mi, to make the most out of the trip. However, there is one spot, Com Tam Ba Ghien (Cơm Tấm Ba Ghiền), that I would re-visit, and even my parents would crave for the food (you know.. sometimes parents can be very picky).

[Recipe] Vietnamese Affair at Home – Vegan Banh Mi

After my trip to Vietnam this summer, I had fallen in love with the banh mi! A local told me that Vietnamese can have banh mi any time throughout the day, either as breakfast, lunch, dinner or even late night snacks. Vietnamese descends makes up the majority of the Asians here, in Montreal, and I couldn't wait to try out this vegan banh mi recipe developed by a friend of mine from school, and she's a registered dietitian, so you can count on her ;)

[HCM] A Legendary – The Lunch Lady

A trip to Ho Chi Minh city isn't complete without a visit to the Lunch Lady! The food stall is located a bit out on the East, where there's no tourist attractions but I told my mother that I had to go, otherwise I'll leave with regrets. I'm glad that mom approved too! It's a fave of both the locals (more) and tourists. What's so special about the Lunch Lady? The menu changes daily! Yes... 7 days a week, 7 types of noodles!

[HCM] Crab Feast – Quan 94 Đặc Sản Cua Biển

I love crabs, but I don't like the process of deconstructing it. Quan 94 is a restaurant, located in District 1, that specializes in all sorts of crab dishes. For all those crab lovers, but don't want to get your hands dirty, this is the place!

[HCM] Banh Mi Crawl in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh)

Do not tell people that you've been to Vietnam if you did not have, at least one, banh mi! "Bánh mì" means bread in Vietnamese, but people used it to refer the banh mi sandwich, which the fillings varies from places to places. The baguettes are normally 3/4 foot long. They're sliced from the side, filled with assorted meats, such as luncheon meats or grilled pork patties, pâté, and finished with Vietnamese pickles, cucumbers, coriander, and choice of chili sauce or chili. Now the question, where to get banh mi in Saigon (aka Ho Chi Minh city)?

Da Nang is a city in the Central Vietnam, which is situated along the China Beach. In recent years, it's blooming with hotels along the beach. It's the biggest city in Central Vietnam as well as the commercial and educational center. Moreover, it's only around 40 minutes away from Hoi An, hence that's why people would travel to both cities during the vacation.

[HK] Nha Trang Vietnamese Restaurant (芽莊越式料理)

Nha Trang is one of my top restaurants in Hong Kong. It is always a must-visit as soon as I arrived. The reasons are because it is close to where my brother lives, and Vietnamese foods are light for dinner. Also, so far I can't find a decent Vietnamese restaurant in Kaohsiung nor Montreal yet! [caption id="attachment_143" align="aligncenter" width="630"] Saigon Ga Xe Phay (西貢牙車快)[/caption] This is definitely a must-order! According on their menu, it is a popular dish in Saigon. It is composed of finely cut red and green cabbage, shredded pickled radish, fresh bean sprouts, tossed with tender shredded chicken, sprinkled with fried garlic chips and crushed peanuts in a light fish sauce (nuoc nam) vinaigrette. Finally, it is garnished with fried prawn crackers and diced cucumbers.
