Before the food!...
Shout-outs to my friend, Kirstie - Happy Birthday from the future! Sending my best wishes from Vietnam <3 Mwah!

After teaching on Sunday morning, I went out for lunch with a co-worker from my language school who has been teaching here for over a year now.  We went for a Mixed Hot Pot to share.  And this was no ordinary cheap hot pot – it was intense and also beautiful.   There were edible flowers, meats, seafoods and a variety of vegetables and greens/herbs around the circumference. As the pot heated up from underneath, the waitress lowered the poor, unsuspecting ingredients in to be cooked, then would scoop them back out and throw more inside until everything was all cooked.  In our small individual bowls, we were given some sticky rice noodles and then got to sift through the hot pot, fishing for all the ingredients we wanted to each try.  Each bowl can be completely different if you want, picking out the ingredients you want to eat with your noodles and broth.  Here’s a pic of our hot pot:
