không biết có ai có cùng sỡ thích như mình không ta?

oh oh i love ba khia too, i have tried it many times, i don't know why Mekong delta region people have to mix it with a lot of sugar and lemon juice, i'm fine with salted ba khia alone.





i have tried those already...they are too sweet... èo...


And what i like the most is:



i like this guy sooo much he have the same taste like me:

And yessss i love rice~~~~~~~~~~~ especially the rice of my fatherland... Vietnam, add a little xì yểu (light sauce of course) ưm... ma tuyệt vời.

and what important is after the left over can be use to make this - a very tasty ingredient for many vietnamese dishes:

I like thịt heo kho trứng



with the extra fried pork fat.

and rau muống xào



with Huế beer.



Oh, I forgot, and a six pack of 33 beer.



To unclog my arteries from all the fried pork fat.






Not intensely good but just wholesomely good.

@Vinne, Gao Nang Huong Cho Dao that Viet Thao ate is actually not from our fatherland but made in Thailand. they steal our famous brands just like Phu Quoc fish sauce. I use to like Viet Thao, but Now I hate him. Because of money he can help the "thief" promoting stolen brand that belongs to our nation.

no i'm from Vietnam i ate the rice of my fatherland since importing rice in Vietnam is prohibited...

yeah, i hate those who steal our brand, Thailand steal our nang huong, hongkong-china steal phu quoc sauce... damn it.

i also hate unilever steal our "da lang" tooth paste...we use to have everything... our product used to dominate the world once...

You guys tried the Northern bánh giò? It's pretty good. The flour is very very soft. Better than the typical bánh giò I have in the South IMO.

We're probably talking about different terminologies here.
Central vietnamese don't even have the word "bánh giò", we call it something else.
Is the term "bánh giò" the same for both north and south?

I live in the South and never heard the word "bánh giò"

Bánh giò in the North is just the same as in the South. But the flour and the meat are softer, or maybe it depends on the makers I don't know.

@thenguyen: Are you kidding? I'm from Saigon and I knew of bánh giò since I was little. Which province of Southern Vietnam do you live in?

I believe this is what you guys call "bánh giò", we call it "bánh gói"

meat? The one i ate is full beans jam... i haven't see any giò with meat... Looks tasty, where are you from daxas?

Because you're from a remote Northern province far from Hanoi?

The more we talk, the more different we find we are This happens to me all the times while I'm in Vietnam.

BTW I've just learned that Northerners, or at least Hanoi, don't know bánh canh.

I like Vietnamese sandwiches.

In the North, sandwich with roasted meat is currently very popular. It's pretty different from the typical Vietnamese sandwich you see in America and the South.

Also, they don't eat đồ chua in the North.

Vietnamese pork chops.

^ Pic? So I know what you're talking about

Sorry, I don't know the real name for it.

oh yes me too! yummie! & springrolls also! mmmmmmm

Cơm with Sườn, Trứng Ốp La

I order this every time I go to a Vietnamese restaurant.

@Fivers

Yeah, I love spring rolls and Vietnamese sandwiches too. The only good sandwiches I can find are in San Jose though.

I'm from Can Tho, never heard Banh Gio, honestly

As I aware most foreigners know only 4 these Vietnamese foods: Phỡ, Bánh Mì (Vietnamese sandwitches), Gõi Cuốn (fresh spring rolls), Cơm Tấm (Pork Chop). Vietnamese cuisine is more than these foods, I hope oversea Vietnamese can promote our cuisine so that many people will know more about Viet foods, for example let promote Bún Mắm

People in Saigon eat bánh giò all the times. It's a food originated from the North though, but Saigonese rarely think of it as a Northern food 'cause it's so common there.

You mekong delta folks just live in your own shell. Just kidding.


Do you change all hỏi to ngã? It's supposed to be phở and gỏi cuốn. I notice you do this a lot.

is it,lol! I always have problem with ? and ~, as you know Nguoi Mien Tay has problem to pronounce ~ and ?. I pronounce them the same

Southern Vietnamese confuse hỏi tone and ngã tone in general, not just Southwest people

But I guess people in Saigon don't make as many mistakes in spelling as those in rural provinces.


Speaking of which, I once went to this Vietnamese store in Little Saigon (in America) and bought some cakes. On the label of the cake is written "nhưng dừa"...and I was like "WTH" Don't they mean "nhân dừa"? How could they make such horrible mistake? Nhân is stuffing and nhưng is but.

Then I thought about it and I realized some Southerners do pronounce nhân like nhưng, including my family (not all the times but sometimes) We also pronounce chân like chưng. But we (my family at least) do make a clear distinction between cân and cưng.

I order it because it reminds me of Filipino food.

Imperial rolls are bomb too.

In the North, they don't have gỏi cuốn

They got phở cuốn and other fresh rolls but no gỏi cuốn as Southern Vietnamese know of. When you ask them about gỏi cuốn, they think you're talking about "gỏi" (like gỏi gà, gỏi măng, gỏi vịt) in a roll and they said you're not supposed to eat gỏi like that.


They don't have cơm tấm here either (screw whoever said Northerners have cơm tấm)


They have bánh mì but it's very different from bánh mì in the South.



So is it ironic that 3 out of the 4 Vietnamese signature dishes you name don't exist in the North?

xôi... omg I love xôi, esp. xôi mặn/ xôi thịt. The xôi ngọt in the South pisses me off lolol. They don't have a lot of xôi mặn in California, either D:<

that maybe because most Vietnamese people living in U.S is from the South.

I the North they have something called "bánh khúc". It's basically xôi outside and nhân bánh chưng inside. Pretty good.

How do you want to get the people to comply to that prohibition? Blood is in every animal. Do they want to forbid blood?

do you have any idea about this food? there is nothing wrong with eating cooked blood, but tiet canh is raw blood food! the blood is uncooked and they eat it raw. Vit Tiet Canh if translate to English means Duck Blood Soup
this food is prohibited because there is high risk of parasites and cause many diseases
here is the video shows how to make tiet canh
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9D8WVTpdzzc...feature=related

lol i can eat chicken, cow, snake, cat, dog, pig,... blood, all you need to make this is the tasty raw blood, its doesn't matter what kind of blood...

Haha, remeber I was telling XG for a long time that both northern and central Vietnam don't have gỏi cuốn but she didn't believe me.
Now she found it out herself

you live in the South, is it right Vinne, haha Vit Tiet Canh and Com Me are your favorite foods, you really have special taste buds. I tried Vit Tiet Canh, but Com Me
if you place Com Me under sunlight, you still can see the worms keep moving that pisses me off. I heard people say it is very good for using in Canh Chua, and my favorite food all time "Oc Luoc"
don't tell me this is also your favorite, Đuông Dừa


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNUT3K7dP8Y

its not vit tiet canh but Viet Tiet Canh j/k, its called "Tiet canh", and it is vary from goat, sheep to pigs as long as you have blood you can make tiet canh.

Southern? no...well, whats about a fun quiz? where am i living, exactly?

those are the popular foods at my place, they are tasty, but i have eat a lot of them that make me feel "nản":









hint: "border"

btw, which province are you from? when i'm in mekong delta i have never heard of tiet canh and mẻ.

mẻ sauce can be use with cat, dog, bull,... meat.

You're from Quảng Ninh.

Thats right...

u...You spoil all the fun ... you know from the beginning when discuss with freeters about the book and accents plus when i posted that girl from Quang Ninh in S.Viet girl topic....chịu you really have a good memory.

well where exactly in Quang Ninh that you can eat those?



cruel, poor lavra... i've never known that they eating those duong dua?

I didn't read your discussion with freeters.

I knew because among the border provinces, Quảng Ninh is the only relatively urbanized one where internet is widely accessible to teens. Plus you keep talking about ethnic Jing in China and how you live near them.

Also, consider this
Lai Châu and Lào Cai are too remote.
Hà Giang, Cao Bằng, Lạng Sơn all have a high percentage of ethnic minorities and you're not too fond of ethnic minorities, you're pretty Kinh-centric. Hence you can't be from these provinces.
You must be from a province filled with ethnic Kinh --> Among the border procines, Quảng Ninh has ~ 90% ethnic Kinh while others have less than 50%.

All these factors make it obvious that you're from Quảng Ninh.

...um thats right.. I'm surprised you still remember my post about jing ethnic in socal topic.

I live near Đông Hưng which used to be a part of Móng Cái in the past.

Those two are very healthy, especially khâu nhục, its tasty and incredible healthy. If you have chance to eat, i'm sure you'll get addicted!

indeed, these duong dua is very expensive and very popular in Mekong Delta, they live inside the coconut trees and suck all the nutrition of the trees, hence they have very high level of fat. to catch them, people need to cut the coconut trees which means the tree will die. one old coconut trees which be planted for many years, for exchange with these lavras.
this video shows how they catch them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXodB9SJM4s...feature=related
I only ate them when I was kid, but after stir fry not eating raw like these people in the video.

Bún Mắm?! Are you serious? I ordered this in a restaurant just to try it out and I pretty much had a sour face on when I tried it, 'ahhhkkkaskk!!!'. I swear, there's just noodles with water and fish sauce in it. I pray to the high heavens almighty that no one ever goes through what I've gone through. What was I thinking?

That and Cơm Hến, 'ahhhkkkaskk!!!'. I swallowed a whole spoon of mắm tôm the last time I ordered Cơm Hến. ahhhkkkaskk!!!




I say, does anyone want a bowl of Phỡ? How about Gõi Cuốn? Hahahahahahahahah.

Sorry, but there are some Vietnamese accent I just have to laugh at.

I always tease my southern brother-in-law, "Do you like some Búng (bún)? You want me to Búng you?"
And my Huế sister-in-law, "Would you like some Chạo (cháo)?" Hahahahahahahahah.

Those duong dua look very tantalizing.

Good for Fear Factor. Those guys should win Fear Factor easy. Better than eating kissing c@ck roaches.
