"A taste of Vietnam"

Got a suggestion from one online travel agency. Found a video by Daniel Klein.
Almost at the same time! Combined two ideas in one. I came up with this post!

A taste of Vietnam!  

Young American Daniel Klein came to Vietnam for two weeks to discover the country, people's lifestyle in the food culture.
Together with Mirra Fine, camera-girl, Daniel have visited different places.

Halong Bay in the north.
Hanoi. The capital.
Huế.The feudal central.
Mekong Delta in the south.
Saigon. Day and  Night.

They tried a variety of dishes!
They discovered new tastes! Captured surprising moments!
Back home, Daniel launched a video called "A taste of Vietnam"!


Many foods appear in this video. It's short! But enough for us to catch what's Daniel had tried and to
create our own food discovery based on our film-maker's experience.

If you stay here only for few days? How to taste all things that you saw in the video, without traveling
thousand kilometers in Vietnam?

Don't worry and remember! Sài gòn is the largest food hub here, in Vietnam.

Hundred year old market, Bến Thành is one of the food hubs in Sài gòn.  
You can also design your own discovery plan by selecting your most favorite and follow the instructions in "where to go?"

Ok, what we got from Daniel's film?
Quite many!

Some I know exactly what's that! Some I only guess, judging by the look!
Many of them, among Daniel's capture in his film, are really real street food.

Wrap & Roll

You remember my post "from the Hell to the Heaven"?
It seems no lines between street food and food served in fancy restaurant.

Wrap & Roll is the same. Easy to buy from street stall as a quick meal.
And we order it in the restaurant with curiosity, how good they are in fancy place ?

Wrap & Roll. It's about many dishes when we eat or prepare, we put some filling on rice paper (bánh tráng). Then we wrap! We roll! We dip it in sauce! And we enjoy!

Most famous. Most desirable. Our fried spring roll. We call "chả giò" in the south, "ram" in central and "nem"  in the north! I don't know why "spring" ? It would originally come from our big neighbor!

Deep fried spring rolls (chả giò) 
Variation of fried spring roll in Quảng Ngãi - ram! 

 The fillings for deep fried chả giò is usually a  mixture creatively imagined by the chef!
 What to put ? How much to put ? What kind of rice paper ? It makes different!
