I taught middle school, finishing up some speaking exams and
giving students their results for their listening and speaking exams. I then walked over to Diamond Plaza (a ritzy
department store on the first few floors, offices above that and apartments at
the top). I taught 3 Koreans who work for an engineering company there and who
are on a temporary job stint in HCMC with their Vietnamese subsidiary
company. They’re a fun group and it’s
fun with them to reminisce about Korea.
At night I taught at my language school for 2 hours and it was the
beginning of the new term – off to a fresh start!
Now for the dish (or the snack, in this case) of the day… Banana Cracker - Dried, grilled banana sheets! Grilled and smoky, these thinly
sliced and pressed bananas have been overlapped and stuck together to make one
big square sheet. After heating it on
her miniature portable stove/Bunsen burner, she packaged it up and folded into
4, just like a piece of paper!
On Google, the closest Vietnamese name I could find for this
snack is: Bánh tráng chuối. However, the description of it is not quite
identical to this particular snack… Any takers who can enlighten me on its
name?
