ooops! i scuffled thru my photos and realise oops i dont have a photo of Pho! lol that's funny i only had it once actually throughout the whole Vietnam trip

for other food click below heee =) having fun with page break!



food i had on the plane
it was better than expected on Viet airline. tasted rather good :)

street food.
it's pretty much the common and characteristic sight of developing countries. carts of food on the road side. some looked real yummy but others, errr what's that? a few street food i've tried. first are the crispy waffles and the round eggy cake which tasted like kueh. the lady let us try a few pieces and kok ended up buying 2 packs of those. that was the very first vietnam street food i've tried so i was kinda skeptical and felt like as if i had "stomach pain" but i was alright it's the mind thingy.

most of the stores sold fruits like mangosteen, dont know how to choose them although i  wanted to get some. and also drinks like coke and sprite in glass bottles! will not be able to find it in spore i guess. we're too into the clean and recycle cans.

second one i tried was the Vietnamese springroll. which is not so much to my liking oops. it tasted too raw! and there are weird veggies in it which tasted yucky! eee dont like them!

wanted to try their carrot cakes but we didnt have time on the first day and subsequently couldnt find them around the following day! :( booooo it smelt really great !!

at night we tried the colourful glutinous rice which taste awesome! haha orange, green, brown, white, purple. couldnt decipher what's in the brown one. but i know the green one is pandan flavor, orange taste like the orange sugar we eat in putu  mayam and purple just like pulut hitam, white with peanuts. yummy. on top of that they added fresh coconut flesh and sugar.

something i didnt try..Balut! it's like eggs that are about to hatch. with the beak and feathers, veins and body parts already formed..thankfully i did not get to witness that. the boys tried it and it smelt like crab roe.
