I taught kindergarten in the afternoon and was utterly tuckered
out again! I will never complain about sweating back home in Canada again!
Dinner was Bun Rieu
Cua again (second time this week!) It’s close, plus I just loved the tomato
broth. Also, the ladies recognized me –
It’s always nice to have local food joints where you get to know the cooks! Afterwards, I taught a private class for 2
hours and we went to a hole-in-the wall Vietnamese fruit bar, where they had Vietnamese-style
fruit platters and a lengthy menu of various freshly-made juices and smoothies. I had a jackfruit smoothie and we shared a
fruit platter of watermelon, papaya, dragon fruit, pineapple, guava, jackfruit,
water apple and mango – Nom nom!
My dish of the day is a Vietnamese-style
fruit platter. Whenever you buy a
fruit platter at local food stops and vendors, they will almost certainly serve
it to you with a couple fistfuls of shaved ice to keep it nice and cool. By the end, you’ve got a nice puddle on your
dish. Now, I challenge you – can you eat
it all before your ice melts? ... In HCMC heat? Good luck :p
