Great blog - enjoy reading your recipes. Have made a few comments on them, specifically thit kho, ca ri ga, and pho chay. Will look forward to my next trip "home" now, I have to check out some of the recommendations especially the soup lady - that Bourdain chap really sold it to me. Keep up the good work.

I am prepping to go back to Vietnam after a four year absence, so I decided to Google places to eat. My friends and family joke that I am always way prepared when it comes to places to eat in every different city. So I Googled the Lunch Lady in Saigon to get her daily menu and came upon your site. I immediately gasped and told my boyfriend that I had found my "food-appreciating" soulmate. You put other foodies to SHAME!!! (Including myself.) Take care and great job!

Just got dared by Anthony Bordain to blog the "Lunch Lady," and when I did, I found you! :o) Love your blog, only wish I found it earlier since I just returned from a 6 week trip to China. I noticed your many pictures of noodle soups with greens and an oily sort of minced meat, presumably pork. I live in San Diego and am fervently trying to find something similar here. I had it almost daily in China. Any suggestions? Thanks so much! Ro p.s. favorite beer is Leffe Blonde HI Catherine!

I wanted to email you and bug you for some travel advice. I'm Vietnamese and my wife Chinese, but neither one of us have ever been to Vietnam. We're leaving on a honeymoon journey to Southeast Asia. Thailand, Singapore, then 11 day tour in Vietnam (Hanoi all the way down to Saigon). My family is SO persistent on telling us to be careful not to eat the street food in Vietnam. My wife and me are HUGE on "piggin' out". We probably won't be able to resist in Vietnam. Do you have any tips on staying health conscious while still being able to enjoy grubbin' out in Vietnam?

A couple of my friends are doing the expat thing there now (we're all from the UK originally) so when I'm topping up my Vietnamese food and travel obsession I get use their place as a base (woohoo!). Between you and noodlepie, I had the inside knowledge on all the good stuff so thank you thank you for all your reporting! I'll be back in Vietnam in October then again for a few months in the new year so will be checking out the places you rate that I missed out on (like the early morning grub in district 4 - can't wait!). Loving the blog - especially the Little Saigon posts. Hope everything's going really well - I can't believe how often you manage to post. Brilliant work. Best wishes, Alice Hi Cathy,
