A colorful healthy dinner!

Yesterday, I had a dinner with some of my friends at a very cute food store, especially for its healthy food.

The ingredients are quite simple, nevertheless, its display is great and catch all’s customers from the first look. It includes rice (brown rice or normal rice), salad, two main ingredients (salmon, tuna, shrimp, cuttle,…) and a variety of toppings (vegetables, mushroom, bean, grapefruit, mango, quail eggs, fresh and dried seaweed,…).

Particularly, the food store is located at a small area on the first floor of an apartment, thus it may be quite difficult for people at the first visit.

Address: Poke Saigon - 42, Ly Tu Trong street, Ben Nghe ward, district 1, HCMC, Vietnam

Price: 150,000 VND/ bowl

Hi @UyenHuynh ,

Thank you for sharing this bowl full of health. I have discovered Vietnamese cuisine quite recently, and I have to confess that is my favourite so far from all the Asian ones, because it’s full of tasty ingredients that at the same time doesn’t make you feel heavy. My favourite dish is phoo, but I was really curious about your pictures as I have never tried quail eggs before. How do they taste?

@Sorbe : The quail egg is actually the same with chicken egg, but with a smaller size. :slight_smile:

Hey @UyenHuynh ,

Thank you very much for this. I am always super interested in trying things that are far and different from my culture, and with your post you just made my eyes happy ( even if my belly now is roaring). Do you have any favourite cuisine apart of Vietnamese one?

Hi UyenHuynh,

Thanks for sharing this colourful meal. It looks very rich and well presented.

@Sorbe Apart from Vietnamese cuisine, I really love some Chinese cuisine, especially their dimsum or Japanese barbecue meats which I can enjoy at my country. Besides, one of my passion is to enjoy local food at wherever any countries I have had a chance to travel to. And you, where do you come from?

Hi @UyenHuynh ,

As per barbecue I have recently tried Korean one, and I was pleasantly surprised by it. For my home country you have to guess, but I will give you a hint with the picture in this post. If you guess it correctly I can share with you some secrets about the recipe of this dish:

Oh wow wowww its yummy and I hope some day I will visit your place and have this mouthwatering food…

I made a post of Baltistan’s traditional food which we eat on Eid day. Please have a look on my post;

@Sorbe : I thought that the dish may be pasta (hope it’s correct ^^), so may you come from Italy or Argentina? I just guess :slight_smile:

The first guess is the right one @UyenHuynh .

This was made by my dad in one of the last visit back home. We called this type of pasta “Tagliatelle”, and part of them is green because for the dough he used spinach.

Can’t wait to back there to have them again!

Hey @Imran_Ali ,

Thank you for pointing this post out, it was really good and interesting reading through it, because despite the differences of ingredients, culture or location there is one element that linked us all together: food is one of the best way to gather your dearest all together.
