Our favorite restaurant in Hội An was ‘Mr. Son’. It was a small stall but had a surprisingly long menu with plenty of vegetarian options. We ate there every second or third night, and this only was because Matthew likes “variety.” Logan and I would have eaten there daily. The picture above is on our last night in Hội An.
When it came time to book a cooking class, it seemed obvious that Mr. Son’s was the place to go. Matthew took notes during the class and then Logan typed up the recipes. You can find them at http://natalie.feldt.com/mr-sons-recipes/
Our first dish was lemongrass tofu. I am hoping I will get the same result when I cook it back in the States. Delicious.
Then we made Bánh Xèo (pancake). It is usually made with shrimp or pork, but we cooked a vegetarian version.
After cooking the “pancake,” you cut it and then roll a piece, along with some greens, inside the rice paper (seen under the greens in the photo). Then dip the roll in the sauce and enjoy. Great flavors and textures!
Our last dish was Cơm Gà, one of Ethan’s favorites… oily, tasty, and large portions!
Food looks very fresh
Yum!!
Ethan’s favorite dish looks like some sort of vegetable omelet?
Good job, guys!!!
Ethan’s favorite was the chicken with rice. However, this was mostly because it generally came with a large portion. I love the “pancake.” It looks like egg because the batter has saffron. With the greens and herbs rolled in rice paper and dipped in sauce, it is delicious. I am missing it now in North Vietnam where it is not on the menu around our place.
