I have to agree with BS , those look like Appetizers to me ,
TASTY Appetizers though

Being tiny as I am, if I don't eat "appetizer" portions, I will gain weight. :(

Okay, lunch. I ate a bowl of brown rice with the following. First, fried fish paste. The green stuff you see is leek. Second is mustard green soup.

Im just funnen with ya ,
like BS im a Big Boy , we eat big meals , and get biggerer

Your food looks YUMMMMMMMY , just small

It's true. Lola is physically tiny. Her stomach is probably the size of a walnut. But in intellect, personality and impact she's a cathedral of power.

Loving this foodblog. Even if I occasionally read it as foodbag.

Awww....you're always flattering me. :blush::hug:

This dish is grilled bbq pork with vermicelli eaten with mints, salad, bean sprouts, pickled carrots and jicama, sprinkled with crushed peanuts, and doused with mixed fish sauce. But below is a vegetarian version, hehe. So it's not pork but umm....whatever it is not meat :lol: and mixed soy sauce. Everything else is eaten the same way.

As for the green looking food, that's sweets. I've put an extract from wiki to help explain:


Bánh da lợn or bánh da heo[1] (literally "pig skin cake") is a Vietnamese steamed layer cake made from tapioca starch, rice flour, mashed mung beans, taro, or durian, coconut milk and/or water, and sugar. It is sweet and gelatinously soft in texture, with thin (approximately 1 cm) colored layers alternating with layers of mung bean, durian, or taro filling.

That Bánh da lợn sounds really interesting, and it's certainly pretty.

I agree. It looks great

I would send y'all some to try except they'll spoil by the time the package gets there. :p:

Below is cabbage salad. It normally has chicken or in this case, shrimp, to eat with the rice congee. Typically people eat chicken cabbage salad with chicken rice congee. Anyways, the salad is supposed to have its particular sauce, which I never made so I don't know off-hand what are the ingredients. I gotta go so can't look it up either. :p:

Been eating lasagna and stuffs so no Viet food to post, hehe. Anyways, yesterday's food. This is vegetarian "shaking beef." And the coffee looks good so I decided to take a picture, heheh. Coffee, sugar, creamer, ice....yummmmmm.

Posting from the phone So I don't have a chance to look up what the dish is called. Whatever it is called, this is the vegetarian version of it.
