Dinner at my father's friend's house 2

Tonight, we have "Cha ca" [ the Vietnamese meaning is fried fish] for dinner. This fried fish is different from the fried fish we normally eat. I'm now going to tell you how they cook it. First, we cut the fish into pieces. Then, we grill it. Lastly, we fried it and we put some vegetables. This is the recipe of the fried fish but there are some vegetables are not avaible in Malaysia.

Pizza Hut of Vietnam

Pizza Hut in Vietnam serves beef and pork and this is the pizza with ham. It was delicious but in Malaysia Chinese and Indian don't eat beef and Malay don't eat pork so these beef and pork pizzas are not available in Malaysia.

Picnic in Vietnam

13-12-2008 ~ Today I go to the countryside for a picnic. When we arrived there, we row a metal boat. The man on the left and the girls on my right are my father's friend.

This is the cakes with pork. It is also one of the Vietnam tradisional food.

My father is grilling the pig.

Beside my father is our driver. We need a driver because the traffic in Vietnam is very very terrible and too many motorbikes.

I lie on the sleeping net and play Nintendo.

We also saw some dogs. That is the Dalmation and the other one I don't know.

An unusual fruit

This is the unusual fruit. It is called "Vu Sua" in Vietnamese means "Squeezing Breast". Before we want to eat it, we must press the fruit until a white milky solution comes out. Then we press a hole and suck the juice. The flesh also can be eaten.

My Halong Bay trip

11/12/2008 ~ That day My family and I went to Halong Bay. We stay there for 2 days and 1 night. When we arrived there, we checked into a 0-star hotel, because we just need a place to sleep. The hotel bill is just only RM 25 per night. At night we went to the seafood restaurant to have our dinner. The restaurant is very clean.

The second day, we go to see the caves of Halong Bay. We went there by a boat that rented by my father.

This is the boat.

This is one of the pictures of the cave we visited.

We are at the platform where the people sell various of seafood.

We had our lunch on the boat.
