so let's get started!
our first stop was lan cafe, a vegetarian vietnamese place on east 6th street. it's a tiny little place i don't think i'd notice from the street, but once we got inside we loved the atmosphere and um, pretty much everything.
i forget what this soup was called, but it had okra AND pineapple in it and was sort of hot and sour? maybe? recommended.
look at all those things that aren't normally in soup but turn out to taste good there! who knew?we got this lemongrass marinated tofu, which was too pretty not to take pictures of.
and THIS is some freaking lovely tea.
verdict: four stars, full bellies, very happy. this can only get better.
i think the soup would probs be called "canh chua" i'd spell it phonetically, but i'm really bad at that. basically translates to "soup sour". its amazing esp if there are those like shoestring mushrooms or whatevs they're called in it.
