we had one more outing today, we got a recommendation for a Vietnamese BBQ place. this place was 30 minutes away walking, we are tiered to we took a cab , it got there 2 minutes later...
The menu had the following animals: wild boar, deer,goat and Bacon, bacon is also an animal. the menu also had frog, eel and squid. not my kind of dishes. lucky they also had beef and i got roasted beef with lemongrass and chilly. this place is the kind where you cook it yourself, there is a hotplate in the center, i begin cooking the meet, shay has a similar beef dish and moti decides to get tiger shrimp. these shrimp come on a stick and soon we notice something strange, the shrimps are moving... very unique experience as Moti roasts them on the grill. this live event is troubling to some of our group but they survive with a squid salad which was not moving at all though tout the meal. when time to break the shrimp's seal, Moti had difficulties, so a waitress kept watch and every time one of these tigers was ready, she came over to help de-shell it.
my beef needed no help.. but they gave me a soy sauce with peppers. i ate it and almost at the last bite, i bit one of the peppers. OMG so hot, i drained my watermelon juice but it still took 15 minutes for my tongue to cool.
the waiters kept helping moti with advice on when the shrimp are ready and more help de-shelling them till finally this slow meal was over. we got some pineapple and watermelon then left the place and walked back to the hotel (8 minutes, no more) and stopping for yummy straticella ice cream.
the night market is open now, but i am exhausted - less then 10 hours of sleep in 3 days.
good night from Vietnam... i promise tomorrow to have a better title
