Day 43 Ha Tieu Nam Vang – Cambodian Styled Noodles
This particular and light pork broth is accompanied by bun noodles. quail eggs, shrimp and spring onions. A wonderful smell of pork and spices wafts up only succeeded by its taste.
A fusion between Chinese and Cambodian cuisines its got its own set of development in between having many different variations throughout Vietnam.
Day 39 – Mi Ga (Hoi An) – Chicken, Noodles, and a short sauce.
Stewed chicken bits(sometimes with small bones, so eat around), noodles and a thick chicken sauce very similar to Cao Lau‘s pork sauce. A mix it up and you’ve got a hearty meal. With spring onions and that rice paper thing.
So the other morning we headed off to Hung Ky Pagoda. A tiny Pagoda off of Minh Khai street on the south side of Hanoi.
What we found was a courtyard under construction with new stone slabs being added in to renovate their entry bell-tower. As we moved to the rear of the temple, among whispering of nuns in training they had a small orchid garden. An Ancient alter decorated in a unique recycled mosaic way that was great to observe.
Soon afterwards the locals became very friendly but crowded the wee-bairn Major Danger. They offered a picnic and in hindsight we will return one day and take them up on it but at the moment I could tell both Major danger and the wife were feeling claustrophobic so we went and explored the front again.
Back in the front we paid more attention to the Pagoda itself, and the presence of the female Buddha.
There a small nun-in-training approached and we had a small conversation outside. I think in the future we will start carrying things to entertain people and have mini-English lessons prepared to help.
