It was a delicious lunch with bun thit nuong and nem cua bien. The nem cua bien were so crunchy and tasty that they disappeared in a flash. But thit nuong was also yummy with a little burned edges. Cheap lunh with 3 orders of thit nuong, 2 nem cua bien for 90000 VND, that 6 bucks for 4 people, not a bad deal at all. May be going back tomorrow to try banh tom ho tay.

It was vegetarian so we didn't quite make the connection, but you're absolutely right. Great minds think (and cook) alike! <strong>Yen </strong>- Hawkins is the greatest networker in the history of networking. I'm moving back stateside sooner rather than later so perhaps a meal in NYC will have to suffice ;-) My brother's in the city, so it can be one big Viet Kieu feast. <strong>nhbilly </strong>- EAT!

These dishes look delicious, but then again so does most everything you post about. As I told Hawkins, I'm trying my best to make it out there this year so hopefully we can all have a meal together. :) Of course you know Hawkins!

I'm amazed at how similar the cuisines are across Asia, yet each country's dishes maintain a unique character. The shrimp and sweet potato looks like a variation of the Filipino dish Ukoy.
