    I don't know much about vietnamese food, it looks a bit like Thai or asian food, but is a bit different, but I am very sure that it tastes very good. the sandwich that Paddie eats also looks good to. that's the french influence in vietnam i think…btw,I'm also late with my comment Gary,I went to Monschau for the weekend .

    The citrus is kumquat. I was telling some Viets it looked like calamansi, but they said it's kumquat so I didn't believe it as to me, kumquats are oblong in shape and orange in color…but lo and behold, kumquats do come like that.

    Banh cuon is one of my favorite things to eat. I had to make banh cuon and banh xeo growing up, but I always dreaded making banh xeo because to me, it's too much work, but I loved eating banh cuon so much, I didn't mind slaving over the stove for it as much. 🙂 Never had the egg version, so will have to give that a try. I think you should de-stem your herbs, though. The banh mi there does look out of this world! Yum!

    The most standard way to eat "Banh cuon" is to pick up each piece of dipping sauce, then you can feel the rich taste of the sauce as well as the plasticity of "Banh cuon".

    Looks and sounds (and tastes, I'm sure) great. I would lose the baguette with the banh mi, but might use it for dipping. The chili sauce looks mild, which means that it's hot and more than enough to wake up the taste buds. Those herbs in the first segment were the icing on the cake.

    In VN, "bánh mì" just simply means bread, the famous sandwich is called "bánh mì kẹp" (but we just call it bánh mì for the sake of convenience lol😄) so hope you don't feel too much of a surprise when the skillet bread is also called bánh mì :)))

    The cold cut you were eating with Banh Cuon is actually not Cha Lua , but Cha Quê ( with cinnamon grilled on charcoal) . Cha Lua or Gio Lua is the white one wrapped in banana leaves and boiled in water . There are also Cha Chiên which is deep fried in vegetable oil and Cha Com ( with young rice grain ) . One more famous breakfast food in Hanoi you should try is Xoi ( sticky rice ) on Nguyên Huu Huân str. in the Old Quarter . You can eat that rice with Cha Quê or Cha Chiên , Thit Kho ( caramelized pork ) , Xia Siu , Ruoc ( dry pork floss ) , Lap Xuong ( Chinese sausage ) , Mung Bean paste and fried shallots .
    Bon Appétit mon ami !

    Wish I could get decent Vietnamese scran in Cardiff. Gonna have to get a trip to Hanoi scheduled in there next time I visit Asia. Are flights from BKK to Vietnam affordable these days?
