Dear Ronaldo

How are you ? The day before I promised you I would write a letter about Vietnamese specialties and today I promised to introduce it to you! Okay lets start with Banh Chung . Banh Chung is one the most traditional special foods for the lunar new year in Viet Nam. It is made of sticky rice, pork and green bean, all ingredients are wrapped inside a special leaf which calls Lá Dong. The rice and green bean have to be soaked in water for a day. The pork is usually seasoned with pepper & salt for several hours. Banh Chung is boiled for 6 or 8 hours. Nowadays, families in villages still maintain making stuffed sticky rice cake before the lunar New Year but people in the cities do not. They don’t have time to make it and usually go to shops to buy it.Next we will start with Pho.This simple staple consisting of a salty broth, fresh rice noodles, a sprinkling of herbs and chicken or beef, features predominately in the local diet. Pho is cheap, tasty, and widely available at all hours.The Hanoi and Saigon styles of pho differ by noodle width, sweetness of broth, and choice of herbs. I hope you can travel to Viet Nam and eat banh chung,pho byeeeeeeeee
