Food glorious food

My guide book tells me that "The quality of food in Hoi An is outstanding and the value for money is not matched by any other town in Vietnam". I can confirm that so far we have found this to be true. The only place where the food hasn't been great is our hotel but that's OK there's plenty of choice for places to eat in Hoi An. I present to you a small selection of the AMAZING food here.....

Streets International: Tofu and caramelised eggplant in a clay pot - this was utterly divine I didn't want it to end!

Streets International: Baguette bread pudding with passion fruit glaze, we wanted to lick our plates.

Gourmet Garden: Amazing food (terrible service), these are White Rose Dumplings a Hoi An speciality, filled with shrimp topped with crispy onions and in this case pork (it varies) and served with a dipping sauce.

Gourmet Garden: Peach and almond crumble with coconut topping a great pudding, British with a SE Asian twist!

19 Restaurant: Fried tofu with chilli and lemongrass, also had pumpkin with peanut sauce, both were delicious, total cost about £3.

Can't remember the restaurant name: Tofu and Vegetable hotpot, still bubbling when brought to the table, you add noodles to your bowl and spoon on the hotpot. It was so delicious and cost 55,000 dong which is about £1.70

Another unknown restaurant name: Hoi An Wantons with vegetable sauce. Delicious crispy morsels filled with shrimp and topped with sunny peppers. Yum.

Cargo Club: White chocolate chocolate brownie cheesecake. Quite simply amazing, I advise you all to have a go at making your own, you wont regret it.

Amongst other things I've also tried Cao Lau which is a traditional Hoi An noodle soup with slices of pork and croutons. The noodles are brown and thicker than others served here. It's a very tasty dish like all of the other Hoi An specialities. As I said other than our hotel which serves dubious food at best we are yet to find anywhere in Hoi An that has been disappointing. It's been a case of wanting to go back to places again but knowing that there are many more new places we should be trying. Still it's win win!

So if any of you are ever coming to Hoi An you'll be having a good time, if shopping is your thing you're sorted, if pretty olde worlde villages are your thing you're sorted, if beaches are your thing you're sorted, if good food is your thing well yes you're most definitely sorted and if you love all of the above well what are you waiting for? Get yourself on a plane immediately!
