I will start leaving them on your sites too, and stop my silent lurking soon!<BR/><BR/><B>Chef Ben</B> and <B>Food Hoe</B>, you two made laugh out loud! There are some ethnic festivals you have got to check out and try the food too. I know that the Japanese Festival near Concord that has some amazing tempura and fish cake, and Fremont has some rockin' Indian food. Also, although I've never done so myself, during Chinese New Year's in San Francisco and Oakland, I would recommend stopping by Chinatown and see what specials and food items they are hawking!<BR/><BR/>Why yes <B>BLuang3Lbby</B>, it WAS at the Church Mary Queen of Vietnam! I can't wait for the Moon and Tet Festivals!<BR/><BR/>Thank you so much <B>Hirono</B>, I took a look at your site and was very impressed too!Passionate Eaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14492203392706191554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17865316.post-65629772758569590312007-10-13T23:32:00.000-07:002007-10-13T23:32:00.000-07:00Hi There!

Reminds me of my recent trip to Vietnam. The best we had of Bo La Lot were in Dalat from a hawker crouching over a small brazier. She served them with lashing of pineapple/anchovy sauce or chilli, but I make them at home too. Luckily here in Melbourne, Australia we have tons of Vietnamese restaurants and all the groceries you could ever need for genuine home cooked Viet meals.stickyfingershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14861830835308131738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17865316.post-48108564087142457452007-10-08T11:20:00.000-07:002007-10-08T11:20:00.000-07:00Thank you so much for the recipe Holy Basil, I lov...Thank you so much for the recipe <B>Holy Basil</B>, I love the idea of using the stem as a skewer!<BR/><BR/>And <B>Christine D.</B> and <B>Melinda</B>, I did NOT thankfully eat any of the tiet canh.
