Since there are so many food related topics, why not this one.

So, I do realize everyone loves Pho, if not most. I love it too.

However, "Bun Bo Hue" and "Banh Xeo" are my favorite. Hope I spelled them correctly.

Those two dishes are famous in the middle region.
Are you the Centraler? don't forget to vote for the middle region ok!
Yes, you spelled them correctly/ If you want to get technical then it should be:
Bún Bò Huế and Bánh Xèo

i like banh canh cua and huu tieu (hope i spelled it correctly) my tho.

bu'n thi.t nuong , ba'nh ca(n , bu'n bo` hue^' , pho*? , ba'nh xe`o , ba'nh be`o , i have more but cant remember all of them now .....

bun bo hue is hella good

Yup, spicy Bun Bo Hue rules all.

lthv22: My parents are from Da Nang so I guess that makes me a Centraler.

Danang? oh, that make you my family
Hey, don't forget to vote for the Central ok! you know what I am talking about right!?

So many people from Da Nang in here

I love bun bo hue, banh can, banh canh, banh uoc (the thin ones), bun mam nem, bun ca, bun thit nuong, che dau dang, che troi nuoc, che chuoi, xoi bap (my mom is trying to cook that, it's not available here ). Are they too much for favourites?

bun voi chai gio although i'm not sure if chai gio is strictly vietnamese per se and i'm also not sure if i spelled that correctly either. hm

^^ isn't that fried egrolls?

I thought that's spring rolls, and they are Vietnamese.

im sorry - but i can pinpoint a favorite

the one that im cravin right now is gỏi mít

Food is always a fun topic to talk about. hehe. I can't pick a favorite dish either, but I have Vietnamese food everyday, and love it most. I'm actually a vegetarian, so my dishes are a little different, but I still enjoy the yummy food like pho, bun rieu, bun hue, banh xeo, banh canh, etc. The difference is, instead of meat, we replace our meals with tofu, bean-curd, and protein-rich 'soy-meats', and various beans and vegetables. The dish is still delicious, still has the Vietnamese style and flavor, and it is very nutritious as well.

I also like the simple food that my mom makes at home, like rice with canh chua thớm, or canh chua rau muống; rau muống or any vegetable luộc with chao and nước tương, and fried tofu; and many other dishes like mixed vegetables sào with tofu. As long as it is prepared well and we're hungry, any food can be delicious. =)

And when I eat at the restaurant, I usually like bun rieu and banh xeo. Oh and cà ri chấm bánh mì- especially the ones made by an elderly woman, are very yummy too. hehe.

sweet - holy moly - you vege too?!?!

haha - i use the term "soya-bean curd" more than tofu

Hey, vn1234. =) yeh, me vege too. So we are both healthy vege-lovers, huh? Glad to find another vegetarian here. =)

chả giò

definitely - power to the vege!!!!

Nothing beats a bowl of Bo` Kho (Vietnamese beef stew).

Hu tieu bo kho is so tasty.

I love being Vietnamese, so much good food! Just seems as though it takes forever to cook the dishes though, I need to learn how!

hmmm! yuuuummmmy!

This is an old thread!
Bet you guys don't know about this dish from Hoi An:

It's called Cao Lầu and legend has it that true Cao Lầu can only be made using a local water from a local well in the town of Hoi An:



Mmmm.... Cơm Tám!



Nêm Nướng Cuốn is awesome!

Bánh Cuốn is yummy.

So that's what Cao lau looks like. I lived in Da Nang and never knew what it looked like 'til now. It doesn't look very appetizing to me. Is it good?

I love everything Viet.

With a name like Cao Lầu, it should be a Chinese dish?

Hội An was a port town...

In Vietnamese, Cao Lầu means "a multi-storey restaurant".

It's very good. One of my favorite dishes I had while in Vietnam. Very unique, since I have never had it or seen it in the US before.



It might be possible that it is derived from a Chinese dish. Hoanh Thanh = Wonton

Here is a picture of the restaurant sign in Hoi An.

It's a dish from Fokkian (Phúc Kiến) in China. There were a lot of Fokkianese in Vietnam. They were great travellers, and are everywhere (Macau, Singapore, but also all over SEAsia, Indonesia...), they were called "khách chú" (or "cắc chú" in South-VN) which means travellers or guests.

Here's another photo I just found of Cao Lau.

I sure love Dim Sum. Vo's Vietnamese Restaurant makes the best Dim Sum ever!

where is that? and since when do vietnamese people cook dim sum? lol

Today's lunch...

my mumma makes nice tasty dog

I like pho tai, and the broken rice dishes.

Since always! They do cook the best, yeah also dim sum!

I had that yesterday with some friends. yummy.

ok. i went to this viet restaurant. it served this sauce (an orange sauce) for dipping with meet, and other stuff. it was really good. whats the name of it?

sounds weird is it sweet and sour sauce?

Vietnamese Dim Sum called Ban Cuon isnt it ............

no. it was orangish. i used it in my salad also. but then again this was a wierd restaraunt. it was a korean owned viet place. but koreans dont use orange sauce

was it carrot mixed with sauce called " Nouc Mam" they use it in salads and stuff

Did it look like one of these sauces?

thats sound very yummy! .

pho bo, you like dog too! personally i love the taste of pitbull with lime hmmmm hmmmmm goood.

no. it was a straight orange sauce . there wasn't anything in it. arg. its gonna bother me. that sauce was hella good

fish sauce goes great on almost anything...

My favorite Viet dish is Bo Kho (my mom made it), but I haven't tried much Viet food so my choice is kinda biased.

A Korean-owned Viet restaurant. Now I've heard everything.

wat ur viet ?

I didnt know that ..........

@ Toki was it clear sauce or was there things floating in it ?

i like all kinds of Bún.
Bún bò Huế, bún ốc, bún riêu, bún mọc, bún chả, bún thịt nướng...
Also hủ tíu Nam Vang, bánh canh, bánh xèo, bánh cuốn, bánh bột lọc, cơm sườn, chè, hột vịt lộn, v.v...yum yum yum.
Have you ever tried Lẩu cá kèo? Oh i miss it. I want some bún riêu from mom also. But she is so far now.
You make me hungry by the pictures
