We'll be in Saigon from the first week of August until 8/26. Hopefully you and the Astronomer will be around then. Gastronomer, thanks for the offer, I’ll definitely take you up on that.

I thought I was being clever by putting in 1/4 of a pineapple into my bun bo Hue. Next time I'll add more. Although my dad insisted that pineapples in bun bo broth just isn't authentic. I could have shown him this. Have you eaten banh canh gio heo? That was strange to me as I'd always had banh canh with crab. I think the pig's feet version is a Saigon thing. A whole pineapple!

I would love it. Those tapioca noodles look amazing. yum yum! every dish looks fantastic although I’d side with the astronomer about the one full of odds and ends… you are so lucky to have that everyday at lunch!

I'm hoping to make my own noodle soup broths at home one day (I mean it! I'll get around to pho first) and these have given me plenty of ideas! These noodle soups are just stunning!

It is a Southern thing, which is in turn borrowed from the Campodian again . About Bo , i watched that espisode with Athony Bourdain, and i hate Bo . How can you serve food with a stinky cigar in your hand ? the broth of bu’n ma)’m is made from fermented fish ( ma)’m ca’ ) , not fermented fish paste ( which is called mam to^m).

I would save it for last every time, like dessert. It's a shame that Bo Innovation couldn't get it together like your lunch lady does. She could teach him, but she'd have to charge.

Everything look incredible. Is this a street stall or a restaurant? From your post I guess it is a street stall. Just for my own info since I intend to follow your foot steps and rumbling tummy noises to this Lunch lady's joint this summer. Great review! Everything look incredible.
