Day 12/ Hoi An: Market for am meal and it was one of the best, Cao Lau a fab pork and noodle dish (linda got a veggie version with pickled banana flowers) sticky rice w/ peanuts, a thin pancake w/ seafood and veggies wraped in an rice paper, boiled pork in banana leaf--AWESOME. Dinner at Tam Tam, great place for views and great drinks but besides for the homemade pasta (yummy) the food was bad.
Day 13/ Saigon: Last supper at Temple Club (29 Ton Trat Thiep St) was better than our first night here, we ate the same two favorites plus a few more dishes, a bottle of champagne and one of rose, than retired to thier beautiful lounge room for desserts and dessert wines, wonderful end to the trip and the restaurant of the tour (outside markets).
Thanks for bringing us along!
we've just spent two saturdays travelling home to brooklyn and are very pleased to be back. we left for the airport in saigon saturday at 8:30 am, and after 2 airports and 12 hours flying we arrived in anchorage at 9 am the same day.
one cool note about the plane we rode in from taipei was the interactive tv on the backs of chairs, so that everyone can watch movies, play games, etc. but these also had channels for two cameras, one a pilot's view and one an aerial view, so you can see throughout the entire flight what is going on in front of and below the plane. very nice, especially at take off and landing if you are travelling in daylight.
also now i am addicted to a game called shanghai which is played with mah jong tiles and was my saving grace on the flight. it took me over 6 hours of pretty much non-stop play but i finally won a game.
Welcome home. Were kinda of crushed to be missing a meal at yalls place. Did someone say boiled pork in banana leaf? Kris loves mah jong like some kinda geriatric quake. Ren says hi!
