A very good morning in Mui Ne!
One of the best seasides in Vietnam! The destination for many holiday makers from all over the world!
I've been to Mui Ne many times but for the first time I stayed at Sea Links - a huge resort complex on the hill, facing the ocean!
A peaceful place, the fresh air with morning breeze from the ocean, I seemed to revive!
I could smell fish and salt flavor in the air! I was blown away by the green trees, the blue sky and the shinning ocean in the sun!
We arrived Friday afternoon, after a long trip due to a heavy traffic on the highway and I also need to stop by my father's grave as I haven't been there since last September! We booked a villa at Sea Links! Three bedrooms for 6 of us, huge dining room & kitchen, with the view to the ocean! 170 USD per night (including ++)! Good deal!
Early morning at Sea links, very quiet, only bird's songs, fresh and lovely surroundings!
Following the road to the ocean...
we were hurrying to catch the sunrise on the beach!
After an hour walk, taking photos on the beach, we also checked the long stone jetty which is still under construction, then we decided to go for breakfast in Phan Thiet!
Without any idea what to have for breakfast, but something with hot soup would be the best for everyone! We were heading to Phan Thiết but in the middle of the way, we noticed a very simple stall on the sidewalk, they sell Vietnamese udon with fish cake (bánh canh chả cá), popular water fern cake (bánh bèo) and bread with pork meatball (bánh mỳ xíu mại). We ordered all three!
Bánh canh chả cá (big noodles with fish cake) is a speciality from Phan Thiết. Fried fish cake, steamed fish cake and a tiny cooked quail egg! Simple taste but very good!
It's very strange that they always sell big noodles with fish cakes and bread with pork meatball together! Maybe we can dip bread to the soup?
It reminds me how much Filipinos love to dip a bread with ham to the beef noodles soup (!) It's new to me, but that combination should taste good!
The pork meatball (xíu mại) looks different from what we have in South. Smaller in size and probably without tomato sauce! It's just ok for my taste!
Water fern cake is a popular street food, everywhere! In South, Central and here a coastal town! The water fern cake is very tiny here, but thick, topped with dried shrimp floss and green mung bean, served with sweet fish sauce! I like the shape of the cake here! It's cute!
Not far from our small table I noticed another street hawker, she was selling a wet cake (bánh ướt) in central style (?) We didn't order because after noodles, bread and water fern cake we were so full!
Anyway another time then!
Where we had our breakfast in the first morning in Mũi Né!
