I had a south Vietnamese mother-in-law who cooked like a godess: I LOVE VIETNAMESE FOOD! However I'm not too keen on blood pudding. I love Banh bao, Nem, (Cha gio?) and lots of dishes I don't know the name of!

Vua Bánh Mì is my favorite, when I am in Saigon I eat their Bánh Mì three or four times a week for lunch. Everything is fresh, their stores are very clean, and you have a very large selection of different ones to chose from. So tasty. Bánh mì Như Lan is also very good, I think it is a famous place for Bánh mì in Saigon.

In fact, "Quang" noodles in central Vietnam are the only breakfast food, or even eating at other times, it's full of nutrients, more than "pho" and vermicelli. the price is cheap. "Quang" noodles have a variety of vegetables, There are peanuts, eggs, shrimp, chicken, snakehead fish, frogs,char siu meat...etc. to change. add pancakes. In general there is flour, protein there, green vegetables of all kinds."Quang" noodles are cheaper than "pho".

In the good old days when international borders were open I spent a lot of time in Saigon. For breakfast I alternated between Pho Bo and Banh Min op la. I always went to the same pho place because they supplied a big plate of green vegetables with each customer. There was also a reasonable supply of condiments including sliced lime. They gave my complimentary tea occasionally as I was a regular customer. Hardly ever saw a westerner there even though it was in district 1.

I'm a Vietnamese-born American and I just eat instant noodles such as MAMA, Hao Hao, or Nongshim for breakfast every day. Also, I eat those Vietnamese "breakfast dishes" for lunch on the weekends because my parents have time to cook those special meals on the weekends. Sometimes I eat a fried egg with banh mi or banh mi thit for breakfast if my family bought banh mi loaves and cha lua from a Vietnamese supermarket.
