Holidays in Vietnam. Fresh food abounds, greens and spices, tang and zest. I put on 3 kilos in Vietnam in 3 weeks! I couldn't get enough of the food until....
We were on the last leg of our trip and back in Saigon in the backpackers street, Bui Vien. Right on the corner of Bui Vien and De Tham is (or was in 2007?) a Westernised backpacker bar called '333'.
We ordered some fries with our happy hour beers and sat back to watch the always interesting street action. A plate soon arrived with some sad, stringy, greasy, soggy, half cold, overly salted and purely disgusting fries firmly anchored to the plate by a layer of cooling grease. They even smelled bad! What did I expect in Vietnam?!?
They were nearly $2AUS (30,000 D) too ! The beer was half the price.
Disgusting. I had two or three and left them on the plate. I had to ask the waiter to take them away, just looking at them made me ill. This appalling attempt at the humble chip was the catalyst for this much belated blog.
Chip score: 1/10 YUK !!
