It's one of the memorable eating experience I had in VN. Just make a trip to Vung Tau and ask the locals. Also "Ga'nh Ha`o" Restaurant was one of my favorite in Vung Tau too. hey, just want to recommend to everyone in here the famous “mi thay” (tossing noodle) from Vung Tau.

It will provide a good break from eating lots of meat. <strong>Tia </strong>- My only guess is soy. With the exception of Tempeh, I think that all mock meats are made from some sort of soy formation. Incredible stuff! <strong>Hien </strong>- I totally love vegetarian alternatives because they're so gosh darn healthy ;-). And I've tried bot chien and definitely liked it, but I wouldn't call it refreshing. My <a href="http://gastronomyblog.com/2008/02/19/b%e1%bb%99t-chien/" rel="nofollow">version </a>was tastily oily. <strong>Manda </strong>- Thanks! And beefy indeed. The broth even glistened with what looked like animal fat. htran - I think you will definitely find pho chay palatable. It will provide a good break from eating lots of meat.

Love the new digs! The fake beef in the pho looks incredibly...beefy! And the com tam bi cha thit nuong doesn't look like a veggie version at all. I'm so amazed and jealous. And drooling.
