Food pics from my SEA trip [General]

The bang mi place is the exact same one that Mr. Bourdain went and it was the best I had in Vietnam. I tried 4 other places from north to south and this place was the best. I was surprised how little tourist knew about this place...I guess it's a good thing.
In Central Vietnam, they have a local dish called CAO LAO and it was amazing. Google it.
Soups in the northern part are just amazing. Just tried all of them...lol
You can try some pretty weird stuff (snake blood shooters, monkey brain, cobra etc) but be careful to not eat endangered animals. Tourist specially Chinese pay big money to eat all kind of endangered animals so just be careful. Short story, we wanted to eat cobra in Cambodia and when I asked the hostel owner where could i find cobra, he said it was expensive and we said that it wasnt a problem and we will pay the price. Were talking 30$ each for a full cobra. So the guy started making phone calls and I noticed this wasn't really a regular thing people did around wich I thought it was. So I asked the guy what kind of cobra they served and he seemed surprised by the question and said "very good" and i repeated what kind? and then he said king cobra. I know my snakes and the king cobra is very endangered and no way I wanted to encourage that so we decided not to go.
Yes we did have lots of water snakes, it was really good actually, Tasted like frog legs . They brush the snake with chillies, salt and lime while it's cooking.

this is the bun bo nam bo (a kind of noodles) that i had in hanoi, booked a 2 night cruise in halong and they offered a free tour called "walkie foodie", it was awesome! for anyone going to visit vietnam, this would be a very nice idea.
