The food in Vietnam is not only amazing but also extremely cheap.
 |
| Pho and local beer |
 |
| Elephant Fish |
 |
| Banh mi- A Vietnamese sandwich with meat and veggies |
 |
| Rambutan is a delicious fruit kind of like lychee |
I had a lot of street food while I was in Vietnam. Most of the time I didn't know what I was getting and just pointed to whatever looked good. So, I'm afraid I don't know what most of the things I ate are called!
 |
| Some kind of noodles |
 |
| A sweet bread |
 |
| Grilled corn on the cob |
 |
| No idea what this one is. It's a sweet rice cake of some sort? |
 |
| This was delicious. Grilled sweet rice with a banana in the middle then cut up and covered with a sweet tapioca |
 |
| Corn with dried shrimp. I bought it before he added the dried shrimp, wasn't really a fan |
Drinks
 |
| Cheep and delicious beer |
 |
| Straight from the coconut |
 |
| Sugar cane juice, my new favorite |
I never liked coffee, but there's something about the Vietnamese coffee that even I got addicted to. They use condensed milk to make it extra yummy!
 |
| This is the famous brand that Vietnam is known for. I wasn't that impressed |
 |
| I liked the coffee at the little places on the street much better. |
And then there's the Banh Xeo. It's almost like a crispy crepe filled with pork, shrimp, onion, and been sprouts. You cut up the crepe put some mustard leaves and basil on it, then wrap it in lettuce leaves and dip it in a sauce.
 |
| The first one I got in a restaurant. |
 |
| Banh xeo being cooked |
 |
| My breakfast on my last day in Vietnam. I found a sweet lady cooking on the sidewalk and she set up a little table for me. People were stopping by on their scooters and she was handing them a banh xeo and a bag of leaves. |
And of course, the mangosteen, only the most delicious fruit I've ever tasted!
