Memorable Yums from Vietnam and Thailand
// March 15th, 2010 // Food, Mai News
Is it bad that I’ll be more apt to visit a country depending on the food available? For example, I have no desire to visit Russia because all I think there is are creamy foods and fish (somebody please educate me differently), and I’m passin on Germany since I can’t drink beer. Until then, Vietnam & Thailand win me hands down on delish foods for crazy cheap. I still can not stop thinking of these 2 things:
- 
Usually I would never step into any KFC. It’s just that bucket that traumatizes me from the nights Mom was too busy to cook. But when I see an Asian rooster, chili, lime, and the words “Tom Yum” to describe the crunchity coating of this Thai special version of KFC, I’m in!! Dude, imagine the most power punch of flavor packed into a million crunchy flakes on a delicious moist chicken. Died.
-When it comes to appearance I’ve actually always encouraged women to dress themselves up like a delicious food item. You’ve gotta involve color, texture, the whole presentation. Women should look yummy dangit! Well this piece of fruit I discovered in Vietnam sure flipped the script on me, with it being the most gorgeous piece of fruit I’ve ever seen, and tasted. Where can I get this in the states??

They sell dragon fruit at the Santa Monica farmers market when it’s in season
that is crazy how that fruit looks!!! Hope it was yummy
There is more than just beer in Germany. There’s actually lots of good stuff here. The baked goods are amazing, schnitzel and bratwurst or some favorites. Salads are bomb here too with amazing dressings. Do not pass on Germany!!! I’m here until May.
why cant you drink beer? are you allergic to gluten?
Yes!!
Hmmm.. u got me considering John.
and I’ve actually seen a beer here that is gluten free. I’ll give it a try and see if it compares to the real stuff and I’ll keep my eyes open for gluten free beers in general. not gonna lie, its not common.
My mom loves dragonfruit too! We always get some in Southern California, more specifically Santa Ana. I think the Chinese/Vietnamese supermarkets in San Jose also have them once in a while. :]
I think you can get them in LA.. like the Asian bound areas.. much cheaper than San Jose.. My bf & I got some in Ranch 99.. mmm I heart exotic fruits!
