Love Food: Central Vietnam

Green papaya salad

We were already hooked on Vietnamese food, but as we've traveled south down to Hue and Hoi An the meals are just getting better and better. No offense to the north, but in Hoi An especially everything just seems soooooo fresh and now with a little extra chili. We are officially in culinary heaven and definitely love food in central Vietnam!

Meat skewers. The waitress showed us how to roll the meat up in rice paper with the green leaves, rice and chili sauce.

Crab meat. We opened the huge menu to the page marked 'Hoi An specialties' and ordered all of them. A trusty method we think!
