Rice from the Hell (cơm Âm phủ) starting as a street food for the poor in Huế (Central Việt Nam) in very old days, now becomes a nicely presented dish at many fancy restaurants in Sài gòn.
That's why "right from the Hell to the Heaven" but not one step! Century!
I've been to Huế - our former capital only once or twice! I don't have any special feelings to this city, probably because the charm from the old times has gone with new urban planning. I heard from my cousin who used to live in Huế for long, many Flame trees (Flamboyant - cây Phượng vĩ) have been cut, many charming streets were extended...the city has changed.
