The other week we posted about in the market, coming across a boiling pot of goodness that we took home and enjoyed for breakfast. On our trip to the market this week we decided that we would once again partake in that boiling pot of goodness since it was so delightful last time. As we shopped for the necessities like eggs, veggies, small travel shampoo packets, our mouths salivated like Pavlov's dog as we talked about our coming breakfast. As we finished up shopping we headed over to our soup lady.
As we approached the stand, it became quickly evident that our soup had not been cooked up that day. We stood there dumbfounded and shocked for a minute, just staring at the spot where the giant pot was supposed to be. As we stood there, arms full of groceries and tears forming in our eyes, our soup lady starting talking to us and gesturing at the food that was in front of her this time. After a wink and a smile that only a older Vietnamese lady can give, we had two freshly assembled containers of Bun Uot for us to enjoy for breakfast.
As we got back to our apartment we assembled our surprise breakfast of Bun Uot and dove in. Now this is a dish that we have had before and liked, but we quickly agreed that this was some of the best. A good meal to start your day is always important. Even though we come from a culture of toast and egss, it seems that wide rice noodles, pressed pork, herbs, and fish sauce have quickly surpassed all of our past favorites.
