Has anyone tried Vietnamese food?

Question

And if so, what did you eat and can you tell me what it was in Vietnamese? lol

Answer 1

Viet Sandwiches - several types of meat, veggies, all on hot baked bread - it is called bahn.

Best and most authentic place to get one is in nyc on Broome and Elizabeth street in chinatown, order the #1. It is a small hole-in-the wall deli but they make them the best... not to mention $3.50!!!

Answer 2

I am Vietnamese so I'll tell you what I usually eat.

Appetizers:

1. Goi Cuon (spring rolls)-pork, vermicelli noodles, some veggies, served with peanut butter sauce

2. Cha Gio (egg rolls)-pork, sometimes shrimp, noodles, served with fish sauce

3. Pho (beef/chicken noodle soup)-rice noodles served with either beef or chicken in brothy soup.

4. Com Chien Duong Chau (fried rice) - rice with barbeque pork and all sorts of veggies and sometimes shrimp.

5. Che (dessert). Try Che Ba Mau (Tri-Color Che)- It has variety of beans, jellies and coconut juice. My favorite is Xam Bo Luong- this one has seaweed, chinese apples, longans and lotus seeds.

Those are some of the things I usually eat. This might help in choosing something to eat when you go to a Vietnamese restaurant.

I hope this helps.

Answer 3

I've eaten it and loved it.  Very spicy and aromatic.  Couldn't tell you what it wa called though, it was so long ago.

Answer 4

Pho Ga and it rocked

Answer 5

Pho (vietnamese noodle soup with assorted meats)

egg rolls (they have fresh ones and fried ones--both very good)

fried rice

chow mein (crispy fried and soft noodles--both good)

for dessert, try che ("pudding" but more like a drink with different colors from beans and coconut milk)

enjoy.
