my translation: sticky rice à la 'too much meat product.' it's topped with chicken, a fried boiled egg, fried onions, dried pork, some ground up meat (of one kind or another) and that kinda sweet, red chinese sausageahh, breakfast! nothing like starting off the day with some chicken fat and sausage, right?? most vietnamese eat either this or noodle soup in the morning, but i'm not going to lie to you, friends - i hide out in my hotel every morning eating baguette with jam and drinking coffee. morning is a delicate time for me - i have been known to get cranky - and i don't want to rock the culinary boat. (i'm drinking instant coffee here - that's pushing it enough!).
xoi xeo is yellow sticky rice (not the white kind, which is also nice, if not a bit bland). i've now eaten it twice and have decided that i prefer a simpler version with dried pork, fried onions and cucumbers. i just don't do chinese sausage. i have no doubt that knox will when he gets here though... so i'll save it for him.
