As a Vietnamese-American, seeing these dishes brings back so many memories of my childhood. Now that it’s been over 10 years since I moved away from the big city and more into a rural town, I miss eating at the Vietnamese restaurants.

That picture is making me so hungry! I just had lunch not too long ago too. Ugg! I miss Vietnam’s food so much. It was simple but their use of spices and such make for some amazing dishes.
