Colourful sticky rice sold by street hawkers. Tastes are quite dour. Worse it was topped with a mixture of sugar and salt. The Vietnamese really like their sugars.
The colour purple.Mekong Specialties
They call the fish the Elephant Ear Fish. From the Mekong river. Put a piece of the fish on a rice paper, add some vermicelli, those veges and wrap it like a poh piah. Some fried spring rolls in the picture too. Those are yummy though a tad oily.
The fish alive, in the local market... well, I think they are the same type of fish. 
River fish cooked in tamarin and herbs soup with veges. I think its their local version of asam laksa but definitely more watery. Theres lady'd finger, pineapple, some other vegetables. Not really to my liking. Its tasted sweet and slightly sourish at the same time although the sweetness is overpowering. I dont even like the way it smells. Phoung Nam Restaurant in Can Tho City.
Lemongrass Restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City.
Platter of local appetisers. Clockwise from the top. Fresh springrolls, fried springrolls, shredded chicken with cabbage and fish 'balls'. Love em.
