The enthusiastic three bows of respect from the lady at Ben Thanh Market, or even two bows, touched my heart, making me order more food. Today, I’m low awareness again, but that’s what makes the journey fun.
This is Banh Xeo!
It’s a beautiful yellow, right? Looks like a lie, but it’s turmeric color, not eggs. Uesugi Tatsuya’s food report is somewhat gloomy.

Chaos is nice, right?
The Ben Thanh Market in Ho Chi Minh feels somewhat lacking post-COVID, missing the vibrant atmosphere of aggressive solicitors. For food, I had pho and sweet coffee. Many dishes in such places are mediocre, but the fun part is the charm of Vietnam. Despite the mediocre taste, there’s something enjoyable about it – must be the Vietnam magic.

Opening a convenience store beer in my hotel room (still drinking) Heineken’s "BIA VIET" lager beer developed with respect for Vietnam! Low-temperature fermentation at 8-10°C retains the hop aroma and provides a pleasant bitterness! However, I fall asleep thinking about the 333 beer.

What is purpose?
I, with low awareness, realized it has nothing to do with intuition.
Now, the next dish is So Long Nuong! The fragrant crushed peanuts on the shell stimulate the appetite, the oily green onion flavor is fabulous, and the clam's umami is in perfect agreement! After all, I enjoy food more with low awareness.

The right timing for an affair

In 2020, Saigon Beer’s new product, "Saigon Chill," filtered at -2°C, has beautiful clear skin and a sharp, cool expression, like a blue-eyed Russian beauty. "Enjoy life" is her parents' teaching. A new love, huh? What about the 333 beer earlier? I’m the type to overwrite save (scumbag).

Chicken feet, commonly known as "momiji"
Thin meat but a delicacy mainly for its skin! As a chicken skin fetishist, I shiver with anticipation and bite into it! Salt and calamansi wash down the beer, breaking through the throat, and collagen reduces guilt. However, the many bones make it less efficient to eat by hand, making me understand why chicken wings are more popular in Japan.

The supporting role in love: "Okra and Shrimp"

If you don’t do anything, your romance with 333 beer will soon become monotonous. The supporting role is stir-fried okra and shrimp! The moderately salty sauce acts as a stimulant, the crisp and slimy okra leads to a sensitive development, and the fragrant small shrimp drives you crazy! Is this a dating agency?

When to drink beer? In Vietnam, of course!

Meeting her was inevitable, at a shop in the bustling streets of Ho Chi Minh, named 333 (Ba Ba Ba). With no peculiarities, she gets along with anyone and captivates many Japanese people with her dignified presence. At the supermarket, she costs less than 100 yen! This is a harem of Japanese maidens! Oh no, I’m marrying beer.

Finally got to visit Vietnam after COVID. I found my favorite Rockstar Energy Drink, which withdrew from Japan! I loved its sharp chemical smell, like tasting iron with my tongue. However, the taste has changed to a medicinal clear flavor. Have you lost your fizz? It’s okay to be sharp again; I’ll accept everything.

Can I call it the Hong Kong version of melon bread? Maybe I’d be scolded?
Bolo Bao (Pineapple Bun) is also known as Pineapple Bread. The cookie crust is crispy and crumbly, and the sweet and salty butter melts with heat, piercing my heart for an overkill! Speaking of which, looking at the ruins of Kowloon Walled City reminded me of Shenmue. Do you agree, or not?
