From a young age, my body has soaked in the taste of mussels, the smell of the brackish sweetness of Mai Giang river water penetrates the skin into the salty meat. The smell of a basket of freshly boiled mussels, smoke rises when I carefully separate each one into a small bowl. The smell of simple, frugal meals with mussel soup, fried mussels, mussel rice, or mussel porridge. A bowl of mussel soup cooked with vegetable soup is a favorite of both my sisters and me, never getting bored of eating. The food is also very simple to prepare. After being picked up in the river, mussels rub off all the sand. Next, put it in a pot, add a little salt and start boiling. Boiling mussels does not need to be boiled thoroughly, just boiling to be able to remove from the stove. The mussel boiling water is settled several times to clean the sand. Shell and mussel meat are poured into a clean pot, stirring repeatedly with chopsticks to let the mussels fall out. Mussel meat is washed with clean water until the sand is gone. Put the pot of mussel broth on the stove to boil, drop mussel meat and vegetables, wait for it to boil, season with spices to have a delicious pot of soup. My sisters and I grew up through hard mussel seasons and from such delicious bowls of mussel soup. Growing up, I had the opportunity to go here and there, enjoy many different delicious dishes, but I still remember the mussel dish from my hometown the most. Text: Tang Hoang Phi

Crocodile soup cooked delicious snakehead fish. My house is in the suburbs of Da Nang, in recent years, the rows of crocodiles planted on the streets of Le Dai Hanh, Nguyen Phuoc Tan… have been almost “old” by the workers of the Urban Environment Company. Da Nang city planted a few decades ago has flowered and produced results. Crocodile does not give as many fruits as the northern localities, but the taste of “heritage” crocodile in Da Nang is not inferior to other localities. Crocodile fruit when still green is used to cook sour soup, soaked in drinking water… Ripe fruit is used to make crocodile apricot umbrella, pickled crocodile, vinegar sauce… The most impressive thing is the crocodile soup cooked with fish and fruit. (Tel fish, snakehead fish…). Cooking method is as follows: Fish and fruits are made and washed, drained, then marinated with seasoning powder, pepper powder, chopped red onion, paprika for aroma. After 10 minutes for the spices to infuse into the fish meat, then put the casserole on the stove, fry the cooking oil with garlic until fragrant, put the marinated fish in it for aroma. When the fish is almost cooked, add boiling water to continue cooking. When the fish is cooked, add the crocodile (cleaned and smashed) and pineapple (pineapple, pineapple), tomatoes, sour bamboo shoots… in. After the soup boils again for a few minutes, then remind and re-season to taste. Ladle the soup into a bowl and sprinkle more scallions, chopped cilantro into the bowl of soup to make it fragrant. Looking at the bowl of crocodile soup cooked with fish and fruit with the ivory white color of fish meat, the green color of the crocodile, the yellow color of the pineapple, the red color of the tomato and the moss green color of the spices, it looks very eye-catching. This bowl of crocodile soup is extremely fragrant, delicious and nutritious with the sweetness of fish mixed with the sour and sour taste, the bar, the aroma is very attractive for a meal on hot summer days. When enjoying this soup, we “have to drink it at the same time” and often jokingly say that it is a “inter-regional” sour soup. It’s really: “Crocodile sour soup, cooked calamari/He ate a bowl of all his sorrows and sorrows immediately” or “Spring with crocodiles to call summer / Cooking snakehead fish soup to eat immediately”… Crocodile sour soup cooked with fish fruit is a special “chorus” because crocodile fruit originates in the North (Hanoi), fish is most abundant in the South (Central, Southern). In the middle of summer, enjoying this soup with this “interference” flavor, we remember the “Southern onion” ancestor of a time.

POM House is a small house located on a hillside in Son La province. Like the hill villages of Vietnam over the past decade, the economic development has led to the construction works, making the city more and more cramped. The hill is now a cake with many pieces cut and leveled for a “more convenient” city. When designing the house, the group of architects aims to develop urban and its impact on nature. So half of the land area is for construction and the rest is for natural elements. The eaves are built around the yard as a solid limit to protect the “land” from the impact of construction works. The courtyard is inspired by the patio of the traditional house for midday shade. The living space in the house is arranged quite simply, including a large common space, where all activities take place and is a space for family members to connect. The two side spaces of the house are designed to be smaller as private spaces for rest. Each space is connected to a shared garden but has its own vision for each space. The V-shaped roofs with the lowest point in the middle divide the house into residential and auxiliary spaces. The roof is designed to open to the outside and is carefully calculated to cleverly welcome natural light into the house in the late afternoon when the light intensity has decreased.

The village is located in Alley 184, Nguyen Xi Street, Binh Thanh District, Ho Chi Minh City, with dozens of households. They live crowded in makeshift motels several square meters wide. The house is cramped, hot weather makes the elderly and children tired. At noon, everyone couldn’t seem to sleep. They gathered to a housing area with shaded trees above to shelter from the sun. The houses here are roofed with metal roofs, they look old and quite tidy, the walls are also very old. Many apartments are dilapidated, about to deteriorate or are directly exposed to sunlight. Mrs. Tran Thi Diem (80 years old), working as a cicada picker – a resident of the village, has been tired for the past few days. “It is very hot at noon, especially around 13:00. My house only has a small fan but it is already damaged. Now I have to use a fan to dispel the heat,” said Diem. A house about 6 square meters wide but has quite a few people They said that they could not sleep because of the heat at noon, and had to lie down to rest, surf the entertainment phone. In the afternoon and evening, they were pouring out onto the street, practicing picking cicadas. This is not the main residence of the “cicadas residents”. Most of them rented again for about 1.5 million VND / unit. The inn has not been repaired for many years, so it is dilapidated, empty first, open back. Mrs. Thuan complains that the house she rented is now no longer a place to avoid sunlight and rain effectively. She repeatedly asked the landlord to fix it, but it was not agreed. Ms. Anh Mai, a resident of this homestay for nearly 20 years, wishes to find a better place to live in her old age. However, she said that it was just a wish, a dream. She herself has absolutely no money to move. A man in the neighborhood reinforced a plastic canvas on the roof. Many people here expect hot weather to pass soon. A woman covered her towel as she went outside to look for her loved one. “I am old, must know how to protect my health, avoid the heat to avoid colds,” she said. The fan works at full capacity in high outdoor temperatures. The houses are temporary, with no economic conditions, most of the residents in the neighborhood do not use air conditioners. Mrs. Chao and her husband talked at noon. Usually, she said, this is the time when her family rested after many hours of wandering on the road to pick up bottles. Ms. Chao complained that the electricity bill will be raised about 1.5 times more than last month. This puts people on even more of a burden. Despite the sun at 13 noon, Ms. Quyet (72 years old, who lives in the village) still goes to the street to pick up and buy scrap materials. She said that she is old, has no children, no accumulated assets, so she still has to make a living. Like Mrs. Quyet, some people in the village struggled to work in the hot sun. The poor village is close to temporary houses, and is home to dozens of households who practice picking cicadas in Binh Thanh District, Ho Chi Minh City.
