Vietnam is heaven for street food mainly for non-vegetarian. But I have strongly believed that finding vegetarian food shouldn’t be impossible especially if you are southeast Asian countries. Asian people have built culture in sync with nature, use plants for various purposes, and prepare delicious food from them. And Vietnam is no different in this.... Continue Reading →
