I tried visiting the family home of a Vietnamese staff member ② (Written by Ho)

Translated from Japanese

It turned out to be a house that actually owns a vast, sprawling dragon fruit field. It belongs to Twin, our Vietnamese staff member. We were warmly invited in — "come in, come in!" — and had lunch together. Her father toasted with beer again and again — cheers, cheers! The dining table was piled high with food: steamed chicken, and pig's ear (mimigā), dipped just a little into a sweet-and-spicy sauce.

Consistently delicious! Day after day, they had been eating lots of rice, so they must have been tired. Rice porridge with chopped greens. Beans were cooked in together, giving it a gentle sweetness.

There was also banh chung made from steamed glutinous rice, but I didn't even reach for it — instead I kept getting refill after refill of this porridge.

There was also something like braised pork — bamboo shoots and chunks of pork simmered in a sweet-and-savory sauce. The flavor had soaked in so incredibly deeply — a real taste of home.

We wrap these freely in thin, crispy rice paper and munch away

Homemade beef jerky came out too. One dish after another, it just doesn't stop. The younger sister who was eating with us seemed to have slipped off to the back and just when I thought that・・・

Splitting open a jackfruit lol. What a hard worker... There's dragon fruit already, so that alone would be just fine for dessert lol. Vietnam, with its rich food culture. Eat greedily, and then
