Tofu Soup

It has been more than a week since my last Best Vietnamese Food was published here on this site.

Incidentally, I went to Palace restaurant for lunch this afternoon and the bowl of miso soup which I had reminded me of the one I cooked about 2 weeks ago which I have yet to post here. Tofu Soup is a popular and common soup served in Vietnamese restaurants and I believe, probably in Vietnamese pagoda and home as well. Prior...

Vietnam’s food culture

If you’re holidaying in Vietnam, chances are you will eat in hotels and restaurants most of the time and maybe grab a street snack once in a while. Contact with the authentic Vietnamese food culture is often limited. Do they eat three meals a day like we normally do? Do they cook at home? Is their food culture also based on going out?

But if you’re interested… this website will tell you.Mornings in Vietnam start early. Very early, in fact, at the crack of dawn. Life begins with...
