Vietnamese Food!

Yoohoo!

One fine day, the three musketeers ie. me, bro and cousin decided to venture out to Zone 2 to get some Vietnamese food!!

My cousin has been raving about this place for ages. But we've been too lazy to go.

So off we went on the red double-decker bus off to...............don't know where.....somewhere....hmm....

Got off the bus, and they were this sweet smell of honey permeating the air......
Bro exclaims: Zone 2 air smells sweeter!!!
Oh anyway we found the flowers which was giving off the sweet smell of honey, it looks a bit like Lavender and it's purple too.


And from across the street, LO AND BEHOLD....

I bring to you......Vietnamese food in London :)

It's quite a tiny shop

"Ah, I wonder what should I order????"

What the heck? A bowl of salad!

At first I thought it was salad to be eaten raw, then rupa-rupanya I realize later on that it's actually to be mixed into the soup. I can be so silly sometimes.

Some raw beef soup thing.
I believe that they slice the beef quite thinly and later pour hot soup over it.

Another beef soup thingy.
Different part of the cow.
Meat taste a bit tougher.

Both of the soups are the same I believe. But soup was very very delicious! I think they use superior stock, whereby they use the same soup stock and reboil it again and add more bones to make it sweeter and sweeter.

Some other dish thing which I have no idea what it's called. Anyway got popiah, peanuts and pork in the bowl including various other things. Supposed to mix it up to eat.
I like this dish the least out of the three.

Anyway each dish of food was 6 pounds.
I guess the price is a bit steep for Zone 2 food.
I expected the food to be about 4-5 pounds perhaps.

Hmm...but I reason out that they gave us a lot of meat, and also most of the ingredients for the dishes are imported, therefore accounting for the higher cost.
Also the bowls were HUGE!
I think pictures don't do much justice most of the time.


Anyway this was good food!!
Compared to some other crap food which I have been consuming, and I'm certainly NOT talking about my own cooking mind you!
