Huby just came back from his Hanoi vacation. As usual i would have expected him to return with some interesting discoveries!! And being a "good eater", food is normally on the top of his list of things to explore. Apparently, he was quite dissapointed with his eating encounterings over there. Reason was simply because Vietnamese Food in our country has been "LOCALISED" so much to the extend of pleasing our taste bud so much!! In particular he loves Vietnamese beef noodles a lot especially those we tried in Australia! So tapping on these experience, he had high expectations on the "original" vietnamese food he would be able to try in the country itself. Unfortunately, he was so badly let down. According to him, the food there was totally different in taste from what we could eat here. And there wasn't much specialities that was impressive!
One unique scene he noticed was people there are keen with low table & chair for dining... like the below, similar to the Japanese style!!
Having said that, he still managed to grab some stuffs that bear signature association to Vietnam such as:

1) Rice spring roll skin
2) Lotus seed paste biscuit
3) FINALLY...........the FAMOUS "VIETNAMESE COFFEE"
This silly man of mine even went to the extend of buying the special cup that filter the coffee powder and drip the coffee dot by dot.........so damn slow...........the Vietnamese style !!! Tonite we brewed our first cup & i must said it tasted .........."SO COFFEE", strong essence with mild bitterness (thou i'm not a real coffee drinker), so much better than those that cost RM10 bucks a cup......u know which i mean, don't u?? Hopefully this "TRY" will not land me as an addict.......!!!
Ah ha.......floating market ehh?? Our kids would love to follow us doing marketing if we have this around..............
