Blogging Circle of Friends: DAY 3495 May 11, 2024 Halong Bay, Vietnam https://www.tripadvisor.com/AttractionProductReview-g3737857-d19148346-Paradise_... Paradise Sails Cruise 2 days 1 night Halong Bay Tour In a mere 24 hours we will see some of the top highlights of Halong Bay. We got a private check-in lounge where we learned about pearls before we transfered to the Paradise Explorer. I really loved the pearl earrings I splurged on before we got onto our cruise. We savoured a beautiful lunch onboard while cruising the bay, passing by Fighting Cocks Islet and Thien Cung and Dau Go caves. We got to stop at Sung Sot (Surprise) Cave. It was impressive. Walking around and learning its history was well worth our time there. Our last stop on the first day was to Soi Sim or Titop island. It was impressive, but it was also very busy on the climb up and back. The view was amazing and the sunset was breathtaking. On the second day, we went to Luon Cave. I decided to kayak through the caveran and loved exploring the limestone cliffs. It was cool seeing all the monkeys. Some people took in the spa treatments when we were back onboard, but I was content to stretch and watch the fabulous scenery on the top deck. I didn't want to miss anything. I did enjoy some of the drinks available on the cruise back. BCoF short prompt: we're letting you prepare dinner tonight on the ship, we've already made the spring rolls. https://www.live-less-ordinary.com/top-10-vietnamese-food-eating-in-vietnam/ What are you preparing for us? Are you going to follow the recipe exactly or give it your own tweak? I'm hungry, can't wait to find out what you're offering. Let's hear some good cooking oopsies. I know we've all had them in the kitchen. I'd be willing to try making Vietnamese Noodle Soup (Pho) - pronounced ‘Fu,’ Pho is the quintessential Vietnamese dish, emblematic of the country’s culinary identity. It’s ubiquitous, found everywhere from bustling breakfast tables to curbside vendors. Whether you choose the flavorful beef (Pho Bo) or chicken (Pho Ga) version, this dish features flat rice noodles bathed in a fragrant broth, garnished with herbs, sliced red chilies, lime, bean sprouts, basil, and cilantro. Pho is the heart and soul of countless Vietnamese soups. https://thewoksoflife.com/pho-vietnamese-noodle-soup/ I was extremely glad that I was able to get help at each step of the process or we would probably not be able to eat the food I created. I will have to try making this again at home.... but I am also glad that there is a Vietnamese restaurant not far from my house. I've always wanted to try this. |
