Bánh Cuốn
It's soft and silky inside that woodear mushroom. It's got a more dense, chewy texture. The pork, some of it is more soft and greasy, some is more gristly, so you have something to bite into. In between bites, it's like a steamed pork loaf. I think I could go more hardcore with the fish sauce though.
Bánh Cuốn Trứng
I'm not even going to put it in the fish sauce, I'm just tossing it back. Very yummy. You get that nice velvety, silky texture of the steamed rice and you get a yolk that's just gooey and delicious.
Chả Lụa
This is the chazua sausage, 38 cents per plate. What? You can get a Michelin meal for under a dollar.
