And they are always prepared fresh before your very eyes and by people who are truly passionate and knowledgeable about what they do.<br />Thanks for sharing all the photos of the yummy looking food!J@Feasttotheworldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11945987598799105571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659859995099007525.post-60716711258801267842012-04-18T22:25:03.663+01:002012-04-18T22:25:03.663+01:00Frank - my eyes are peeled for sightings of cơm hế...Frank - my eyes are peeled for sightings of cơm hến!<br /><br />Anon - alas not, but it sounds intriguing.

Not necessarily a favourite but tasty and quite interesting.<br /> <br />The noodles are particularly to Hoi An - they are rice noodles made only with water from a local well (allegedly!) mixed with some kind of ash from a local tree (which sounds horrid, but just gives it quite a nice distinctive chewy, smokey taste and texture), and it's served with herbs, a kind of char suit pork, porky stock and pieces of thick deep fried rice paper (which seems like deep fried pork rind but isn't)<br /><br />Did you get to try it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659859995099007525.post-73793752286759692312012-04-18T08:47:11.728+01:002012-04-18T08:47:11.728+01:00Wow this is such a good post.
