Vuong Quynh

Ho Chi Minh City - Late night and hankering for food, the taxi driver brought us a Pho restaurant that I have never been to - Vuong Quynh.  I am also not sure how to pronounced Quynh too.  This restaurant serves Hu Tieu Nam Vang" or Phnom Penh noodle soup.



Across the street, you have another restaurant - Quynh hot pot restaurant and next to it Quynh Cafe, serving coffee.   Quite a huge variety to serve the late night crowd hankering for food.  

Address:  A65 Nguyen Trai, Q1, HCMC


Pho Pork Bones

I tried their Pho Pork Bones, the broth is tasty quite different from other Pho outlets.   The Pork bones are huge and not so refined like our Singapore Bak Kut Teh.  But the essence could be tasted from the pork and it is good and tasty.   The Pho is also different.   Pho is pronounced as 'Fur' and NOT 'Fo'.

For SGD 10 for 2 persons of Pho Pork Bones + 2 can of coke + 1 bottle of mineral water; seems like a good deal....

Enjoy!

Calesa around Intramuros

Manila - Together with Albert, we took a calesa (horse drawn carriage used in Philippines) around Intramuros. Albert and Lesley Albert and I Intramuros is the oldest district and historic core of Manila.  The walled part of Manila was called intramuros, which is Latin for "within the walls"; districts beyond the walls are known as extramuros meaning outside the walls.  Construction of the defensive walls was started by the Spaniards in the late 16th century to protect the city from foreign invasions.   Guarding the old city is Fortaiago wich is located at the mouth of the river.

Cheong Guk Jang - fermented bean soup

Seoul - Lunch with Youngjin was at a traditional soup restaurant and it was crowded.   Youngjin asked me many times Cheonggukjang "ok", I said ok not knowing what to expect.  I have tried many weird and smelly good in Seoul, so I was very prepared.   My first time tasting Cheonggukjang and I like it. CheongGukJang 청국장 is fermented soybean soup aka Stinky soup.  Actually, I like fermented food and the smell does not put me off.   I like fermented food because of the many health benefits and also we have them here in Singapore - tempe, belachan, fermented bean curd (which I love with my porridge), chincaluk, etc.. very hot Cheonggukjang  I always buy danjang paste and bring home to make soup.  I understand that they are the same but the difference is Cheonggukjang beans are uncrushed and are fermented for a longer period of time.
