Dinner Diary - Hanoi Mystery sweet

 

Vietnam is a good place to be if you like sweet things. Kem Flan, Ca phe sua de, and the is mystery food. It was possibly the cheapest thing i got in Vietnam, costing around 5000 Dong in back alley of Hanoi.

It was essentially like cornmeal porridge on a rice cracker with sugar sprinkled on top. Sounds basic but it was awesome, and extremely sweet.

Dinner Diary - Vietnamese Market surprise

Yet another trip to a market, and yet more food that i have no clue about. This dish was contained  rice, tofu, shrimp, chicken, beansprouts, green beans, loads of fish sauce and other assorted veggies.

I think this was a slightly more "natural" dish, where it has no real name, but is just an assortment of good food thrown together on a plate.

Total cost 30 000 Dong (US$1.50/GB£1.00) including some vietnamese tea.

Dinner Diary - Beef Lok Lak

It's taken a while to while to find good cambodian food. Not because most of it's bad, but instead because they tend to only serve western dishes in most of the places easily accessible to tourists. This dish is very similar to Malaysia's Nasi Goreng, however the flavours are fairly different.

It's boiled rice, with a fried egg, beef, lettuce, green tomatoes, and the sauce on the side is lime/lemony thingy that is so totally awesome when combined with the rice. This dish set me back 7000 Riels, roughly £1.20.

Dinner Dairy - Nasi Goreng Nelayan & Cendol

First dinner in Langkawi we had Nasi Goreng Nelayan & Cendol. By now i think everyone knows about Nasi Goreng, so nothing to new there. However Cendol was a new experience. It's Jelly Noodles and sweetcorn in sweetened Coconut milk. The Coconut milk was awesome, but i wasn't too keen on the noodles. The Nasi Goreng came in at a whopping RM12 (£2.50), while the Cendol was RM4 (£0.80)
