Vietnamese cuisine

i'm lucky enough to have many Vietnamese friends here to cook for me..:) i've always enjoy eating Vietnamese food and of course eating is not only my job.. but also to 'steal' some secret recipe from them.. haha.. Vietnamese food is easy and yet delicious.. it does not involve much of cooking or frying or whatsoever.. unlike Chinese food.. you have from deep frying to steaming for hours.. most of their ingredients are what we call raw herbs. similar to thai.. they eat a lot of mint leaves, basal leaves and many others which i don't know their names.. those leaves are cheap here in Thailand.. u can get one bunch of basal leaves for like 5 baht.. equivalent to 50 sens.. but back home in kk.. it cost me around Rm2.50 for one small packet of basal leaves.. it is consider quite 'rare' back home.. :) here are some of my fav viet cuisine.. there are many more.. but didn't got a chance to take all.. enjoy looking at the pictures and feeling hungry.. haha...~:)
