Are You a Gourmet? Go to Vietnam!

I never thought I'm going to gain 3 kg on my trip to Vietnam. Usually, I lose weight when coming back from a backpacking tour, but this time, it came differently. I was blown away by the delicious vietnamese food and the wide variety of vegetarian and other dishes.

However, I think you are going to believe me after seeing all the videos and pictures I took during my trip to Vietnam. My favourite food? Definitely the green papaya salad!

First have a look at this video. You will get a feeling how street food works in Vietnam. 

Are you ready now? Let see some of the typical dishes in Vietnam!

Due to my coffee addiction, the first thing I had to order in a restaurant was, of course, the vietnamese coffee (of course not just once..). And I can tell, it's one of the best coffees, I've ever had. First, I had to get used to the way how it's served and second, how it tasted - it almost tasted as cacao. Vietnamese people drink it cold with a lot of ice cubes and a sweetened condensed milk. Maybe this doesn't convince you but believe me, it tasted surprisingly delicious.

Here are the ingredients you will need in order to prepare a typical vietnamese coffee:

• 2 tablespoons ground Vietnamese coffee
  
• 1/2 cup boiling hot water
  
• 1-2 tablespoons of sweet condensed milk
  
• 1/2 cup ice cubes or crushed ice
  
• Vietnamese Coffee filter

I would go back every minute and just eat eat eat :)
