Thanks so much for publishing another wonderful blog about Vietnamese food, the photos and descriptions are wonderful. Publishing the names and details of the restaurants is also a very good idea as information for tourists. Also, the inclusion of the "Vietnamese Food and Drinks" section in your "Vietnam - Guide for trip planners" blog is a great idea. We should try to promote the wonderful food of your country as much as we can because it is so varied and interesting. The differences in cusine from one district to the next is juyst amazing, Lorenza and I could spend our lives exploring the food of your country. Many thanks!

This post made me very hungry! Thanks for sharing...I have just realised how much food we didn't get to try on our trip to Vietnam. I would have loved to try dishes like Cá lăng and the snail dish... :)
