I adore a good bowl of steaming pho, sprouts stuffed into the hot soup as quickly as possible (I don't like the rawness), and the thin slices of beef fished out immediately (I don't like the cooked-ness). But this is admittedly an arduous task for an
angmoh who recently learnt to use chopsticks and has little experience with ever putting soup in a spoon and piling stuff on top of it so you get a cohesive single slurp of yumminess.
Puzzling to me is why I've never made Vietnamese spring rolls. This is probably one of few dishes in which I actually enjoy the taste of fresh mint (I'll pass on the mojitos, thanks). I love the lightness and terrific contrast of textures: chewy and soft and crisp.
Grilled lemongrass pork over vermicelli. Also very flavorful and I love the peanuts.
