Because I eat more ethnic food, it seems more interesting. Since some of you showed interest, I will post the food I eat that's Vietnamese (Asian).

For dinner today, I ate "chicken rice." A whole chicken is boiled in water until cooked. The water then is used to cook the rice so it'd have the chicken flavor. The uncooked rice is cooked in oil and garlic first then cook with "chicken broth." Chicken is shredded and tossed with a Vietnamese mint "rau ram." The rice and chicken is eaten together with a fish sauce mixture. Fish sauce is mixed with crushed ginger and garlic.

I splurged on junk food today. For dessert, I ate Chinese coffee sponge cake and some shrimp chips.

OK, so this is what I mean. That looks delicious.

Okay, today's food is not mouth-watering, but it's different.

The first picture is brown rice eaten with salted sesame. Hulled sesame seeds are toasted, crushed, then mixed with salt.

The second picture is Vietnamese loofah stir-fry. It’s a type of squash, I think. I googled the Vietnamese name and that’s what I came up with. I ate plain Vietnamese loofah stir-fry; however, people usually stir-fry loofah with meat or shrimp.

The third picture is Vietnamese loofah. If you let the fruit over mature before before plucking it or simply let it dry out, you can cut it into the loofah bath sponges.
