The day started out with a visit to a book store to buy Martin a laser
pointer. Nice lady that sold Martin the pointer.
Lovely street fruit.
In the evening, we went to Kay's BBQ next to
Crazy Kims. |

We brought our own pineapple. Martin at the
cooking grill on the table. |

Martin with 3 of the 4
undrinkable beers at
LIVIN Collective.
Here are the 4 beers from
East West Brewing
Company:
 |
 |
All the beer tasted
piss poor. Sourly, fruity taste. The worst one was pink one. You cannot call
this beer. Martin not happy with the beers. |
 |
 |
The ribs were very
tasty, but overdone, to the border of charred.
This is clearly overdone. It is black. The restaurant should consider the
cancer risks of this. This is in part down to one particular molecule that
forms when food is cooked at high temperatures, known as acryl amide. |
 |
 |
The vegetables that
followed had this red stuff, Martin thought was tomato. But it was red, hot
burning chilly. Nothing for a westerners.
Martin may visit again, just for fun. They didn't have
chopsticks and no Soya sauce. But the staff was very efficient and spoke
very good English, a rarity in Vietnam these days.
But when the charge you 300 000 VND in cork fee
if you bring decent beers, It is usurper. It is almost 11 USD. This is bad.
Barbecues and charred meat: Some
research suggests that burnt or charred meat may increase the risk of
cancer. Substances called heterocyclic amines are formed in foods that are
cooked at high temperatures and blackened or charred. In animal studies,
heterocyclic amines are carcinogenic (cancer causing). |

Across the street, some
50 meters away, the ladies are practicing yoga.
There were 4 of them. |
