Vietnam never let me down when it comes to eating. The food is wonderful and the Vietnamese people seem to have such great passion for eating and I really enjoyed that. The only thing is that at most places the beer is served warm and you have to drink it with ice. If I could've had the really chilled YEBISU there it would've been more than perfect.

The pho noodles we were having there every morning, I can't stop thinking about them. I had been having them in Tokyo but they were totally different! My friend just told me that there will be Vietnam Festival (!) in Yoyogi this weekend so I hope I can find the good pho noodle there.

  1. that pho looks divine!!
    there are a few good vietnam restaurants here in hong kong so i sometimes go there to get my fix of pho.
    that restaurant looks amazing with all that clutter! what's at the top of that ladder??

    beer should never be served warm... that's the only thing which amazes me in south east asia. once the ice starts to melt you get watered-down beer!!

    hi Elisabeth,
    oh you know that feeling, we all miss Vietnam!

    hi at swim-two-birds,
    yea you're right, they do look like being underwater a bit! it could be what they did when I had my film developed or maybe it's Vietnam!
