BTY, the water quality in VN has improved greatly now versus a few years ago so if you come to a quan that is clean, you can ask them if they wash their raw vegetable in "nuoc rua rau sach", they will tell you. if so, then enjoy the the raw vegetables...many of my American friends and colleagues come here and in placed that i have taken them there hasnt been anyone being sick yet...cross my fingers. today in all over the market in VN they sell "Veggy" which is the same as our US side to clean the vegetables and many small "quan" use this products. totally agreed with you. these places are for the tourists that are agraid of venturing out. the prices in Sen is not worth to try it and Bank Cuon La is so so that you feel cheated paying for that kind of the price when you can get better quality food for 1/2 the cost.
