Trip to Burma, Hong Kong, Vietnam Hello Jim, first of all, î would like you to Know that Î really appreciated your travelling blog for this trip. What a nice adventure!
Welcome back to home in Saint-Etienne and Take some Time to rest.
We live here too, we had met à few Times; i Know Claudette. We are leaving this Wednesday for China.
Spicy Tour? Glad you guys are getting around to many "out of the way" places and seeing the sights. During your travels are you finding some new spices / flavours to incorporate into your cooking? In a part of the world known for some spicy foods I would hope that you are getting some additional experience and opportunity to sample some new flavours.
Best wishes and safe travels for the rest of your journey.
Your trip Probably not. I spent almost all my time in Central VN..in Binh Dinh province and Cam Ranh.. You'll love the banh my...French bread although you'll find a few flour bugs baked inside. For a special meal try this bo bay mon..."7 kinds of beef". Of course, Pho is almost a staple. It's pronounced something like "fuh" There might be something called Pho Xe Lua...something "locomotive Pho". I liked the Pho Tai the best...noodles in a broth with thin slices of beef. Good luck. Keep me posted.
Breas Thank for the culinary hints, Curt. Not much of a soup drinker, especially for breakfast. Try to avoid the cooked water buffalo. Love the bread. Relatively air free and soft crust. Claudette prefers hers with a crust to slice the mouth to ribbons and 90% air pockets. Off to Ha Long Bay tomorrow. Maybe a different regional cuisine to sample.
