Việt Nam Bread is commended as the finest one on Earth

In an article on a tourism site of UK media, Reporter David Farley stated that Vietnam has the most fascinating sandwich which is one of Best Vietnamese Food he has ever eaten.
 

Sandwich – (aka “Bánh mì kep thịt”) is a common food which can easily be found on every sidewalks in Vietnam, has appeared many times on international tourism site and voted as one of Best Vietnamese Food (Street Food) in the world. David Farley, a writer specialized in tourism and cuisine has posted his article about Vietnam’s Burger on BBC with the title “Is the banh mi the world’s best sandwich?”.

Below is his original post (credit to BBC: http://www.bbc.com/travel/feature/20141003-is-the-banh-mi-the-worlds-best-sandwich/1)

The cab driver stopped on the bustling boulevard Pho Hue and pointed at a mishmash of incongruent four and five-story buildings across the street. I hopped out and dodged buzzing motorbikes and exhaust-belching cars, trying to get from curb to curb.
 

Then I spotted it: Banh Mi Pho Hue (118 Phố Huế; 84-4-3822-5009), the no-frills sandwich shop named for the Hanoi street on which it sits. Nearly everyone I’d asked had said Banh Mi Pho Hue served the tastiest banh mi in Hanoi. But the family that’s run the shop since 1974 has a reputation for closing it whenever the cooks run out of ingredients. So when I arrived at 7pm on a Saturday and found it still open, I was delighted.

Picking grapes in Phan Rang city

Phan Rang now have a wide variety of vast green vineyards and gradually grows as an interesting tourist spot. If you’re wondering what are the things to do in Vietnam, just try a trip to Phan Rang and find a vineyard to enjoy a day.

Picking grapes in Phan Rang city
 

In the past every time a train goes through the areas of Phan Rang, Thap Cham; looking at those beautiful vineyards under the blazing sun of Ninh Thuan, I wish someday I will be walking alone in those vineyards and eating grapes till I am full...

Once, it was a difficult time, people in Vietnam can only eat Ninh Thuan grapes – these grapes has a light purple colour and extremely sour; if we’re lucky we can have a few sweet bunches.

Going to Phan Rang, we decided to go to the vineyards. Hence, after visiting Thap Cham, we asked the local people there and were advised to visit uncle Ba Mọi’s vineyard in Hiep Hoa village, Phuoc Thuan, Ninh Phuoc and put a tick in our list of things to do in Vietnam.

In Ninh Thuan, majority of people now growing green grapes instead of red grapes, red blue violet purple like the old days. There are still areas that have purple red grapes but not much because of the low economic efficiency so as to go on the road to VinhHy Bay I noticed the entire vineyard is all green grapes.

Not far away from Cham Towers, just crossing a bridge and following the winding dirt path covered with bright red Poinciana trees, the vineyard lies next to a green rice field.
 

Grapes are picked and eaten right in the garden.

According to uncle Ba Mọi, grapes season is around March, April; people can come, visit to take photographs all day (it is also an interesting activity to add to your list of things to do in Vietnam). All plants in his vineyard are not sprayed with anything so it is perfectly safe to eat right after picking them. We were allowed to pick up grapes, apples and then enjoyed grape syrup, fantastic wine made by him and his family.
