I had extra snow crab legs. I picked out all the meat and made banh canh cua, my favorite Viet noodle soup.

…… now available in Melbourne !

Found this local gem and had to share! For just over a buck, this plate of Cơm Gỏi Gà (Vietnamese chicken salad rice) is an absolute comfort meal:

The Rice: Cooked in rich chicken broth, golden and flavorful.

The Salad: Tender shredded chicken and crunchy cabbage, topped with a mountain of crispy shallots in a tangy dressing.

The Extras: A fried egg, a comforting bowl of soup, and a thick, sweet-and-savory ginger fish sauce that ties it all together.

Please get the reference, I know every other Vietnamese food is better than this ass.

During the Covid lockdown, I missed Vietnamese food. So, gf and I began trying to recreate some of the things we'd enjoyed. Bún chả, bún riêu, bánh cuốn, xíu mại, phở and these bò lá lốt. They make great snacks right of the grill, but wrapped with lettuce, cucumber, herbs and netted vermicelli, they make a nice dinner.

banh canh cua = thick noodles, crab soup, toppings loaded, and somehow cheaper than a coffee back home.

Vietnam street food really undefeated.

Seafood, herbs, squid, prawns, fish and noodles.

Tiny plastic-chair place full of locals. Honestly ended up being one of my favorite meals in Vietnam so far.

Rice Paper Rolls with minced pork, quail eggs, and a rich butter dipping sauce.

Made some Cà Ri Gà(chicken and potato curry), witch dipping rice noodles, coconut rice, peanut and lime dipping sauce, and as desert moringa sponge cake with red bean paste filling!
