Vietnam delicacies (what I brought back today from Zamboanga #3)
My dear Vietnamese friends whom I invited to Zamboanga gave me these pasalubong (gifts):
1. rice papers- I really asked for them as they are not made elsewhere in Southeast Asia. They are moistened first before being filled with veggies or meat and then steamed or deep-fried. The BEST really!
2. prawn crackers- the Vietnamese ones have a peculiar test. Not really to my liking but better than what you can buy in the Philippines (sorry mga kababayan!) but still not as delicious as the Sidoarjo crackers in Indonesia.
3. soft sesame cake- It was my first time to try this and UNBELIEVABLY, I am now a convert. I need a new pack badly! The combination of the peanuts' brittleness, the white sesame's flavor, the roll-in-your-mouth elasticity and the sugar's rush are a divine combination. Immediately after taking the pic, I gobbled this one!
straight from Vietnam, handed over in Zamboanga, enjoyed in Cebu, the Philippines
(special thanks to Phuc and Dinh)
