Which one do you like better Bánh canh cua or Cơm tấm sườn?

@04phamnguyenthaibao35 Жыл бұрын

Bánh canh cua

@vinhmai8754 Жыл бұрын

SG - com tam is a must…. What you ate has a longer name then just 3 words com tam suon… It’s call com tam suon bi cha opla.. If you order com suon, expect rice and 2 pieces of pork and vegetable, and nothing else.

Anthony Bourdain is the single reason I started looking into Vietnam. That episode made me begin the path that lead me to living in Vietnam. I was blown away at how kind the family was to him and how reverently he spoke about the Vietnamese people and their struggles post-"American/Vietnam" War. He ignited my passion for traveling and learning other cultures, his absence is truly a sad one. I'm very glad people still recognize and respect him.

One of the things that Anthony bourdain said about Vietnam was that when you come there the first time, you knew within the very first minute your life has changed and your old life will never be good enough anymore. I tested that theory almost 3 years ago and he was absolutely right.

@cAse332ti Жыл бұрын

He's absolutely effing right. I watched his Vietnam shows after I was there in 2020, and I'm pretty sure that there hasn't been a single day since without me thinking about returning to this fabulous country.

My wife and I ate at the Lunch lady back in August 2019 at the exact table you sat at. We were so excited to find that she was set up a few mins walk away from our Air bnb accommodation. It was our first lunch in Vietnam. We are finally making it back in August 2022, but staying in district 1 next time.. The lunch lady is in a very local area and too far from the tourist aera.

What they put into the ( bowl ) with pork is impressive..., all the "fresh vegetables" ( many types ), including rice..., made the dish ( bowl ) taste fantastic and brought out the favor. It was delicious... * I want another bowl... LOL Amazing video, and thank you for sharing the video... I miss Vietnam... Mike in Montana :) :)
