4. Dalat, Vietnam ... 2005 ...

From Malaysia in 2004, we moved a year forward to 2005 and a different country ... flying up North to Saigon or as it is now known, Ho Chi Minh City ... and then a bus onward to beautiful and chilly weather type Dalat ...


I do eat street food but rarely this type that is so low and near the ground ... I know ... but in this case, everything looks so clean and "hygienic" that I just had to order and try ... and it was great. I am not sure if it is because I was hungry or that the weather was beginning to be freezing ... all I recalled is that I have never had this in Vietnam and decided to give it a go and it was just delicious

I had one of each ... green is wrapped in edible leaves and the naked one is a different type of meat ... all pork spiced and herbs adequately ... it made me hunger for the main course which we had in the restaurant next to the lake


By the time dinner rolled around,  the weather had become drizzly and we were freezing! Thank goodness for awesome cups of hot Vietnamese coffee!

Okay that's enough for this post ... for those wondering about food in fancy plating ... be patient! Those are coming too. It's just that these are flashbacks from the past ... and those are in the future!

Cheers n Goodnight
