Our dinner last night was at the train station near by and quite a splendid one, too. We had a little fire in front of us for cooking the assortment of vegetables and the thinly sliced beef. The beef was so thinly sliced it took but a few moments in the heated broth to cook. There were assorted dips in front of us..one that tasted and looked like peanut butter but I think was likely sesame. Very flavourful. When in inevitable raw fish came, I cooked mine in the same broth and it was quite delightful. The fish really was so fresh and had no fishy taste at all. We ate the veggies in the broth, too, and there was also tofu(yum) then tempura came, and I always enjoy that. The end was little squares of cheesecake...very lightly flavoured lemon. The whole meal quite a taste treat. No yucky egg pudding type things. No seaweed, no miso soup. Hurrah! Today's final lunch will be something like the Manchurian restaurant I gather...to be revealed. Today we lose most of our group,who are heading back to Kelowna and only ten of us continue to Hanoi, after a night in the hotel in Tokyo. To be continued....
