Hotpot Night by Matt

For our final night in Pu Luong Sunny had arranged a special Northern Vietnamese dish called a hotpot. A large simmering bowl of broth is placed in the middle of the table then plates of meat, vegetables, noodles, herbs and tofu laid before you. Then you simply add what you like and once it's cooked, scoop it into your bowl and ladle over the broth. Sunny suggested squeezing some lime over salt then dipping the cooked meat into it.

We shared this meal with Sunny and the driver, sharing a small bottle of rice wine. The driver seemed to take great delight when I downed my shot, vigorously shaking my hand and promptly refilling my glass.

It was a fun night and a great way to share and socialise over food.Leia mais
