Month: September 2013

I love Black Cat so much. This is it for me in Saigon (and Vietnam) for a while until November. The last week and a half has been marvelous.

Baba Ganoush and Hummus

From dinner at Square One in Saigon. I drove up from Can Tho today, as I’m flying out of Ho Chi Minh City tomorrow night to return to San Francisco. The meal was a lovely one, made even better by the company with whom I ate it.

Grilled Vegetables

Rye Bread and Sauce

Eaten with my sister in Can Tho just a stone’s throw away from her house, for around 75 cents. It’s because of this — having ready access to such delicious (and affordable) food — that relocating to the States for a while has been a challenge. At this point I doubt I’ll ever go long without spending time in Vietnam.

Can Tho all in all was a great few days. I love my family and friends there dearly.

Bún Thịt Xào

Simple but good meals are the hallmarks of my visits to Can Tho. This will likely be the only food I don’t eat with my family here (I arrived too late for dinner with them) over the course of the next three days.

This city really has a way of slowing things down for me.
