I will definitely get in touch with you and your company the next time we're in the delta. I wish I had known about your company sooner so that we could have avoided traveling with a tour group. And yay for Rick Stein - we get to be on TV! Hello Angela - Thanks for the cool note. I will definitely get in touch with you and your company the next time we’re in the delta.

Impressed! :) I like the way you wrote about Vietnamese food even though I have not known about you much. Anyway, keep writing and I'll keep reading them ^__^ I also had chance work with the team of Rick Stein's Far Eastern Odyssey last Feb. They were very nice and pro :) They filmed food during the trip from Cambodia to Vietnam on our Bassac Cruise. I also left our company's website for you to read. If you had a chance, take a tour with us and discover more Southerner food :) Ah, by the way, when you get back to Cantho again, contact me and I will take you around for street food vendor. I bet you will love them :) And as for the Cai Rang Market, if you went with a small group (well, I mean you make tour for yourself), you could make some purchase. Believe me! My friends and I did and that was very good experience. peace Hey,

They run many trips to the Mekong Delta daily, one-day trips and multiple day trips, and seem to have everything under control. I was especially impressed with how they were able to keep track of and smoothly transition people who were staying for different lengths of time. Although I can't vouch for their other tours, I'd recommend their Mekong Delta excursion. Hey there holybasil - I had a very good experience with Sinh Cafe.

What was your impression of Sinh Cafe? I've heard a lot of negative feedback on them so I was curious as to your experience. It’s unfortunate that the market is mainly for wholesale purchases.

The outbreak hasn't spread to the southern half of the country. If you visit Hanoi, steer clear of the dog meat, fermented shrimp paste, and that raw nem stuff. No worries, James.

Darn it, why does it have to happen right before I'm about to visit??! Has the recent outbreak of acute diarrhea affected your choices of street vendor foods?
