Thanks to my wife for the translations. Bot Chien is fried rice flour, Nui Chien is fried pasta and Khoai Chien is Indian Taro and rice flour, fried.Bot Chien being prepared:
My plate, which was a combination of all three I mentioned above. Very tasty, and very, very cheap (10-15,000 VND a plate).
This place was on Vo Van Tan, where a few steamy Bot Chien places reside (the District Ten side of CMTT).

Another Vietnamese dish to add to my list. Wow, I actually like this stuff. It reminds me of breakfasts I had in Turkey.

in case, if you and Nezumi look a for an escape from the SG's stuffed atmosphere to get some refresh air, you might consider to take a trip down to Can Gio, it's located about 50 km southeast of SG, go down to Nha Be area, take 2 ferries, then 1 1/2 hour on motor bike you'll get to Can Gio; it's lied on one the mouth of SG's tributaries; there's a beach, called "3 thang 2", it's is not a spectacular 5 star resort :), as you expect, the water is muddy, but it's a quick getaway on weekend for some peace and quiet, and some seafood
Hey Viet
I actually posted about Can Gio on this blog a while ago. Went there on a school trip. Thanks for the tip anyway...! Hopefully they can build some bridges and make the journey easier.
Thanks for the post :-) ! I'll definitely try that when I come to Vietnam next week :-). Btw, is your cooking class part of the tour or you can sign up separately ?
Best,

Hi Tram
Yes the cooking class can be booked separately. Just check the website www.connectionsvietnam.com for details or send me an email, jon@connectionsvietnam.com.
When I was young, 30 years ago, this is called "bánh đúc chiên" not "bột chiên". How come the name is changed?
