Introduction - Vietnamese food
Vietnamese cuisine is known for it's freshness, meat and flavours. In spite of having a food culture of it's own that dates back a couple of thousand years, it has been in parts influenced by cuisines of colonisers (China, France) and close neighbours (Thai).
The key ingredients include rice, meat (beef, pork), sea food (prawn, shrimp), noodles, fish sauce, soya sauce, fresh vegetables (bean sprouts among them) and herbs.
The cuisine varies across North, Central and South Vietnam due to climate and soil quality.
Southern dishes tend to have an abundance of flavours and vegetables, herbs, meat, chilli and fruits due to tropical climate and fertile soil. Northern dishes tend to have less of these due to hard winters. Sea food is abundant throughout due to the long seacoast of Vietnam and used extensively.
Flavours:
spicy, sour, sweet, chilli and at times bitter.
a TYPICAL meal:
Starters:
Vietnamese Pancake (bánh xèo) made out of rice flour with various fillings (beef, pork) and dipping sauce.
Fresh Imperial Rice Paper Rolls with prawn, pork or Prawn on Sugar Cane and dipping sauce.
Soups:
Pho noodle soup, suited for the hard winters of the North
Vegetable broth soup (Canh Rau)
Main course:
Steamed fish or Caramel pork with prawn (tom rang thit) served with tossed morning glory and garlic with Steamed rice.
Desert:
Crème caramel, a dish of French influence.

Eating Spree
On a lazy afternoon, we were having a chat in Shweta's cubicle. She has the biggest cubicle on the floor. It's a convinient place for a chat at anytime of the day. "I want to try out every restaurant in Koramangala", she said. That was the beginning of what we have come to call 'The Eating Spree'.
Koramangala is a food paradise. Chinese rules here. We have a couple of North Indian restaurants as well, but they don't the best of the dishes.
Today, we went to this small eating joint called "Friend's Euro Restaurant".
They make Chinese, Italian and French cuisines. The menu is exhaustive in each category. The food is delicious and at a reasonable price. We pitched in 135 each for 2 mocktails, 1 plate onion chips, 2 caserolles and a plate of Fritter.
The mocktails are an attraction too. I tried Tropicana, which is a mix of cold mango and pineapple fruit joices and Shweta tried Orange Blossom, which is a mox of orange juice and vanilla soda.
The mocktails were the best I've had in a long time. They come at 50-65 rupees and in a huge glass!
This place is made for food junkies. If you love hoggin you need to go here.
Directions : Down the road from Forum, take the road between A2B and Udupi Upahar on the left side. You will find Friend's at 20m from the main road on the right side.
