Our guide was Lam, and he took us to a number of local restaurants to try different foods, many of which we had never eaten before. I liked Banh Xeo the best - pancake, papaya, cucumber and grilled pork, which we wrapped in rice paper and dipped in a peanut sauce. My husband liked Banh Canh the best - a noodle soup in a fish broth, which we added lime, quail eggs and deep fried bread to. We also tried Banh Beo and Banh Uot, and a number of different drinks. It was also nice to see some of the city at night while walking around, including the dragon bridge and the night market, which felt very touristy after all the other places we had been. Thanks again Lam, for a nice evening!
