Vietnam Food

Last Tuesday, our professor in ICS 101 Class–Peoples of the World took us to Pho Hoa to eat as part of our lesson on Vietnam. (Pho stands for noodles.)

We had an appetizer of stringed beans with two kinds of chili sauces. We had a noodle soup with beef. There was also their spring roll served with chili paste, as well as salad (chicken, cabbage, carrots, some sweet sauce).

Food in Vietnam is generally spicy, although the recipes of the south are spicier than that of the North. Along the coastline of Vietnam, fish and seafoods are favorites. Predominant flavors in Vietnamese dishes are mint, shrimp, star anise, rice wine, garlic, ginger, etc. (Source: Vietnam Cooking)
