From my trip to HCMC, Hoi An Da Nang, Nha Trang. The pics are from the streets and various shops. None of these are from touristy restaurants. Theses are what the locals eat.
Each post will pertain to the related items. I might not even have time to post all the pictures today.
You guys like food pics so here we go.

Got to start with Pho right? A lot of these pics are from these typical Pho shops. By that, I mean they set up in these buildings where the 1st floor is where the family sell the Pho. And 2nd, 3rd,4th floor is where they live. It's a cheaper way of doing business than leasing out a separate location.
This places seems to be the busiest of all the ones I visited. About $1.30 a bowl
This is their beef pho. Very flavorful and light.
This is their chicken pho. Notice the thickness of the noodles. This is Northern style pho and the noodles are thicker and more cake-like, sticking together. Southern style(like the 1st pic) has thinner noodles and al dente texture. I prefer Southern style.
Here is another shop. Around $1.30 a bowl

Beef pho.
Chicken pho, northern style
Chicken pho with mien (clear noodle)
Another shop. It seems like these pho places are always run by these old ladies. They must be doing something right.
Chicken and beef combo pho. This is their specialty. Again, $1.30 or 30,000 dongs a bowl.
This shop is real popular with the locals.
Usually $1.50 a bowl but I went for the special bowl for $2.40. This one has fatty brisket and rare eye of round so a lot of meat.
Here is the last location in Nha Trang. Take a look at the menu. You can tell the Russians visit this city a lot.
Chicken pho with clear noodle. You can see how rich and fatty this broth. $2.20 per bowl.
On a side note, most of these shops will only open in the morning till 11 am and reopen around 530 pm. Not sure why they don't open at lunch. Maybe it's too hot. And they don't use siracha chili sauce. They use this

I'd love to visit Vietnam and/or Thailand because I love those cuisines, but to be honest, I'm scared. At 6'3" I'd stick out like a sore thumb.

Nha Trang
My parents grew up there and glad I was able to visit it before the tourist boom when I was younger. Even though the government is shitty, its hard to leave a beautiful city you call home into the unknown.
Go to the market, that's a fun trip

Thanks !!!
quite the education
Had always heard they did the most with the least and most thinly slice meats.

How well do the vendors understand the English language? Or is there just a lot of pointing?
I would eat every single thing in this thread -- except maybe the ice cream sandwich.
