I was thrilled when the formal 7am meeting turned out informal over breakfast at one of Vũng Tàu's most famous bánh khot stalls- Goc Vu Sua.
We squatted on tiny stools and dipped our chopsticks into a traditional Vietnamese breakfast staple of grilled rice pancakes topped with fresh shrimp and sprinkled with shrimp powder. There's the standard fish sauce dip with sides of with slivered green papaya, carrot, and lots of fresh herbs of mint and one variety that taste like wasabi.
I'm no expert, but I love this version of bánh khot with shrimp. There is another version topped with minced pork. I dislike the pork version simply because of the taste- quite eeeky. The shrimp version taste so much lighter and easy on the stomach for breakfast. The skilled women at this stall fried it to a proper crisp.
I ate so many pieces of it because it was so tasty. (Of course I dumped the shrimp.) I ate a plate of it all by myself. That sorta settled lunch as well.
So I proclaim this as my next best meal on this trip.
