Don’t worry, I had to look both of these up. The little ones are Barbados cherries. How’d they end up here? They’re like chewy small tomatoes with large flat seeds. The other one is Thai green jujubes. Crispiest fruit I’ve tasted but very bland in flavor. So bland that the locals eat it by di...

Usually, when I go to VN I stay at least a month. I flew into Saigon this time because this one flight was particularly cheap. I believe it was around $530 one way. Stay there 2-3 days and head into Da Nang. I think Saigon is a smaller India minus the cows or monkeys in the street. District ...

Yes, the pork belly char sui.
$20(500k) food challenge:

Banh mi #1,2,3 and 4
This morning I went strolling in the neighborhood and saw a banh mi place. They bake their own bread so I had an idea it was going. Initially I ordered one char sui pork belly and an egg. Then finished them and ordered a cha lua(Vietnamese spam). Then I got the grilled po...

I’d like to, but I’m traveling with the family unlike solo in my previous trips so time is a big factor. And I’ve posted on the food board a good bit vs the travel board so I think I feel more at home here. But I’ll try to post random cool shite on here not food related every now and then.

Decided for a 15 min solo walk for breakfast this morning. Upon crossing the street just outside my hotel, a random elder man in his 60s, sitting on his motorbike looked at me and asked if I needed a ride. In Vietnam, the lower class people will do all kinds of side hustles on the streets as appo...
