#09 of my top ten favorite Vietnamese dishes: Hủ tiếu


Also popular as a breakfast (sic!) dish, this delicious rice noodle soup is a specialty of the Mekong Delta and topped with herbs, pork and succulent shrimps.

I remember eating it by the streetside in our neighborhood, and remembering this, I feel miserable having to "put up" with "white" spaghetti and pasta dishes. ;-(

Fortunately, my Mum can prepare this dish excellently.

#10 of my top ten favorite Vietnamese dishes: Bánh bèo


Steamed rice cake with ground dried shrimps etc., the sauce - as so often in Vietnamese cuisine - being the essential element in this dish. Originates from Central VN (where my father comes from).
