Saigon temperatures were bearable before I left for Dalat...or so it seemed.
Dalat lies nestled in the valleys of the Central Highlands. Its weather is much like that of San Francisco and in Viet Nam, that's god-sent.
The market had a lot to offer in terms of variety - quality, not so much. This is primarily a photo-post since I haven't done that in a while.
Quail, rubbed with coloring for more "appeal".
Chao ga (Chicken porridge)
Fertilized quail egg and hot vit lon (Balut).
Does the texture of the babies (hair and tiny bones) freak you out as much as it does me?
Shellfish galore!
Nem nuong with fried rice paper. I could eat the fried rice paper all day!
Asian yogurt - tart.
Grilled rice paper with an egg and chives. Apparently this is one of the new "it" snacks everyone has been craving. Dip it in a tarmarind or hot sauce. Viet Namese flat bread, anyone?
Stopped by Windmill Flower and Coffee because it reminded me of home. Macadamia latte. When in Viet Nam, drink Viet Namese iced coffee only!
Jackfruit spotted on roadside stands on the way home.
