A Gastronomic Tour of Vietnam

Belinda and I share a love for great food. Looking back on our pictures over the past couple days, it appears that her trip to Vietnam is no different than other spots in the world we have visited together - there are lots of food shots! So, I thought I would share a bit of a gastronomic tour of Vietnam with you, as experienced over the past few days...

The Nha Trang seafood extravaganza - mussels, clams, oysters, prawns, prawn-fried rice, grouper in clay pot, mackeral with lemon-butter sauce, and barbecue fish.

Bun (Vietnamese rice noodles), spring rolls and fresh guava juice.

At the Cu Chi Tunnels about to sample the VC staples, tapioca root and rice balls.

Ok... so we did not eat the frogs but they were on the menu at the Ben Thanh Night Market restaurant we ate at!
 
As you can tell, I love the chili-salt grilled snapper at Ben Thanh Night Market.

The sweet rice ball - greasy goodness.

Belinda dishing up the banh xeo (a savory Vietnamese pancake).

And of course, the perfect addition to any meal is "buy 2, get 1 free" beer.

And what about Caleb? Well, he is now supplementing his milk diet with toe jam.
