Latin version: "Doctrina est ingenii naturale quoddam pabulum"
The day I stop learning is the day I die.

I just happened to stumble upon your blog and I am completely obsessed. I am Vietnamese too (I think you are...)! I love seeing all this Viet food on your blog because I always beg my mom to teach me how to cok it, but she's really reluctant haha...
Your blog is stunning and your pictures are so pretty too!
Thanks so much Michelle for dropping by my blog and being obsessed about it. I'm also pleased to get such kind words from you. I learned vietnamese from my mother, my grandmother, and even my uncles! But then you sort of try to learn on your own, experiment and find blogs like these. Just feel free to try out the recipes on this blog and let me know - I do need feedback from an authentic vietnamese and an expert at vietnamese food tasting ;)
