The one about Bread and Coffee
The best thing to start your day in vietnam is Banh Mi, or the french loaf/baguette. You can get it anywhere. Streetside/cafes/restuarants. Everyone in vietnam eats them. A favourite among locals is a spread of "laughing cow" cheese with freshly diced onions and other vegetables along with a fried egg and pate with meat of choice (but looks like they come from shady origins...which makes the meal all the more exciting)
best on-the-go-breakfast. Cheese Banh Mi with diced onions.
In Saigon, Vietnam
an atas version of Banh Mi, smoked beef with veges (mostly cucumbers and tomatoes) with a wasabi mayo. Not worth the money i rather my steak sandwich at half the price.
Still good though
in Hanoi, from a pretentious place with alot of kwai los called little Hanoi.
my favourite Banh Mi ever. Steak Sandwich.
a Baguette stuffed with fries and marinated slices of beef and onions. Sinfully good, best comfort food ever.
from Banana Mango Restaurant in Hue. At the end of Le Loi street. They serve (and i totally agree) the best shakes in Hue, go try their coffee shake.
Th best companion to a Banh Mi is Cà phê sữa đá or coffee with milk and ice.
my favourite drink. Iced Coffee with Milk
They served unstirred so you can see the sweet condensed milk at the bottom and the goodness that is the thick black aromatic vietnamese coffee with its froth at the top.
you can order it anywhere..yes ANYWHERE in vietnam, just say the four magic words "Cà phê sữa đá"
Vietnamese coffee is mainly french roast with their own unique filter system of which you can buy from any Vietnamese provision shop. In Singapore we have the sock, in Vietnam they have the metal filter. I can't believe i didn't take a picture of that but its really fun to see it work. I got filter at home now and it makes drinking coffee very fun. Vietnamese coffee is so good they even have their own franchise, Highlans coffee.
Highlands coffee is Vietnam's answer and probably a direct caffeine attack on Starbucks. Their coffee has at least twice as much oomph than the American franchise and can be found everywhere. Yes there is hardly a place in Vietnam with a topless mermaid whose hair tries to cover her non-existent boobs.

I really feel interested in this entry about my Vietnamese food. Really love your opinions about Vietnamese food ^^.
Another thing, there are two kinds of milk coffee: Cà phê sữa (as you already knew) and Pạc sỉu.
They are quite different ^^.
For Cà phê sữa: coffee is more than milk
For Pac sỉu: milk is more than coffee
Thx for your writing ^^.
