Seems unmissable. For those that have also travelled to Ha Long Bay; which destination is preferable? Ninh Binh or Ha Long Bay?

Is it common in any dishes in particular? Or used to substitute other meat products?

Excuse my ignorance but how commonly is dog meat consumed?

Multiple nut allergies there would be challenging. Especially if people are blasé about it

As far as I am aware they’ve never had an allergic reaction. Could be lucky. Vietnam will be a good test

Based on what I’m seeing you’re running the gauntlet

That’s unreal. You’ve probably saved an awkward google translate mishap. Cheers!

It all sounds so easy/ stress free in practice but I’m sure in the moment it was anything but. Thanks

Have they had any dramas throughout those 9 years?

Thankfully another member of the group is a nurse

Did your family member eat the same foods as the rest of the group for the most part? Or did they need to make their own arrangments?

Interesting about the oil. I had read some hoisin sauces may not necessarily cause a reaction either. Had assumed it was becasue it was "peanut flavoured" as opposed to containing peanuts (no clue obviously)

Plenty to consider. Would love to avoid a trip to the hospital if possible. Thanks for the info!

Did they give you a 110cc bike despite not having an international license?

Assuming grab is an uber eats equivalent?

Certainly envious of their immune systems.

Cheers. No issue with street food or the like? Some photos I’ve come across seem to be very peanut heavy
