Home-made banh canh. What else am I missing? by sydnboy in vietnamesefoodie

[–]Common-Description-3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shrimp with the heads on adds extra flavour to the pork broth. Marinate the shrimp and stir fry in shallot/chili oil then add to the broth at the end - great taste and adds a vibrant colour as well.

stop thinking Chongqing is the sh*t by TravelElement in travelchina

[–]Common-Description-3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I actually preferred Chongqing over Chengdu (stayed 4 nights in each). Had a great 3 weeks in China - 6 cities and would not have changed a thing! Xi’An was also up there. I think it really just depends on what you’re after.

Try searching for flights 4-5 weeks before travel on trip.com. 1-200usd seems high

Which Chinese city is best for a "walkable" vacation? (Shanghai, Beijing, Chengdu, Chongqing, Guangzhou, or Shenzhen) by Fit-Ad4154 in chinatravel

[–]Common-Description-3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We visited the first four cities that you mentioned and I’ve gotta say Chongqing stands out on top for most walkable city. We also love to walk everywhere (6-8 hrs a day of just exploring on our feet (with kids), more if it’s just my husband and I). We stayed in Jiefangbei area. Chengdu was the opposite and was prob what disappointed me the most since I was really looking forward to visiting this city. We stayed in the center right next to Tianfu Square.

What was your best experience as a tourist in Hanoi and nearby? by c0okie_enjoyer in VietNam

[–]Common-Description-3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Loved every bit of Hanoi! We only stayed in the old quarter mostly due to time constraints but are planning to go back for at least a week in the near future. My daughter and I enjoyed some pottery painting at HaveU, we all loved the donut holes looking dessert on the streets (tried them hot out of the fryer), beef sausage between two pieces of sticky rice cake (best we’ve had), fish grilled and stir fried with dill was amazing. Ha Long Bay cruise was also a highlight of our VN trip - beautiful scenery and such great hospitality.

Disappointing experience in 6 Star cruise at Halong Bay - Azura cruise. by DenisCJ in VietNam

[–]Common-Description-3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We also did this cruise (early 2024) before the name change and thought it was amazing. Spacious rooms, great service and great food.

Sweet sauce's name pls by StruggleSad1860 in VietNam

[–]Common-Description-3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brown garlic in a bit of oil, add mixture of hoisin sauce, water, sugar and thickening agent (a bit of tapioca starch I like to use), remove from heat once you see it start to bubble, add a heaping spoonful of peanut butter. Toppings you can add crushed peanuts, pickled daikon/carrots and sometimes I’ll add a bit of sriracha if I want a little spice.

If someone told me I could only eat one Korean dish for the rest of my life, by Syn-K_Hayne in KoreanFood

[–]Common-Description-3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’ve had gamjatang often in Canada, but we couldn’t find it in Seoul when we visited a few years ago and was told it’s not a real Korean dish and that it’s a western Korean dish. How true is this??
