		<description><![CDATA[For our final meal in Saigon, our friend Hawkins insisted on lunch at Bánh Cuốn Hải Nam. Narrow as can be, this restaurant has been serving the city&#8217;s best crêpes for decades. While service and decor is mostly minimal, the food keeps customers coming back time and again. The restaurant&#8217;s tidy alfresco kitchen faces the [...]]]></description>

In addition to shiny new skyscrapers, helipads, and highways, an American-style doughnut shop has popped up in District 1. After admiring Fresh Donuts from afar for the first two weeks of our trip, we finally let curiosity get the [...]]]></description>

Growing up, my family&#8217;s two favorite spots in San Diego for Vietnamese food were Phở Hòa in City Heights and Phở Pasteur in Clairmont. It turns out that these restaurants, and hundreds just like them, were [...]]]></description>

In the three years since I first sat down to interview her, there’s no doubt that her life has changed.

While I can appreciate a slab of meat as much as the next carnivore, I&#8217;d rather sink my teeth into noodles, fried chicken, sushi, and the like whenever we eat out. However, there is one worthy exception to my general sentiment: Vietnamese-style steak. It&#8217;s [...]]]></description>
