Bean sprout salad & Vietnamese food report1

Vietnam has some French culture from the colonial period. Bread is one of them. The French-style breads are so popular there as a quick meal and a lot of local shops sell baguettes on the streets. A plain baguette is only about US$0.2-0.5.
Also you can find western style bakeries in big cities like Saigon where you can enjoy pastries with coffee (refer the photo). There are so many types of beautiful bread including Vietnamese-tasting ones for US$0.5- 1.

OK, Today's cooking using bean sprout is refreshing and goes well with strong tasting food.
