Nom Nom Nom

So haven't gone out with my Nikon but then I remembered...I have an iPhone! DUH! Time to start documenting my gastronomic experience. I haven't had much time to explore (besides housing options) but there's always time to eat!

This is Bun Ngan - noodles in a light broth made from bird bones (and MSG) with young bamboo slices and chicken. I decided to walk a block in a storm (in my new rain poncho!) to bring this back home in a plastic bag.

My beautiful co-worker Trang who is going to make me super duper fat. My favorite part about work are our two hour lunches (VN believes in 1hr eating, 1hr napping) that we take full advantage of by taking her motorbike all over the city everyday and eating our hearts out. 

Bun Oc Chuoi Dau - noodles in a tomato broth with SNAILS and BANANA. A surprisingly fantastic combination.

My Combination Che with milk, red rice, mung bean, some giant Hue red been, and some other things I have never had before. One item was a sesame glutinous ball with a coconut center. MMMMM!!!! The lady there was super cute, I think I will have to make the trek to Dong Xuan Market more often to visit her.

I love Vietnamese fooooood! And I don't know if it's because I have lived in Hanoi before but I'm becoming a Northern cuisine fan...a big one. My mom is kinda disappointed. :P

I can't wait to take my nikon out and experiment with motorbike pics...for now this will have to do. Taken from the back of my shady xe om driver's motorbike.

 French influenced coffee, white chocolate, and dark chocolate cake pastries. :D

This is actually the view from the Hanoi Lung Hospital's bathroom. The hospital neighbors a river, lake, soccer fields, and a university. Not too shabby.
