Recently, artist and blogger Nguyen Vu Xuan Lan (@xlan.illustration) has created a set of childhood food paintings that anyone who looks at them will be excited and craving for its delicious “armpit pain”. Surely in the memory of many Gen X (8X) Gen Y (9X) there are always images of simple childhood dishes but imbued with the flavor of memories. The childhood dishes of the past reminiscent of the times when my mother came back from the market, the afternoons when I woke up absentmindedly looking for food to relieve my sadness,… Many young people of the 8X and 9X generations, crispy pork rib porridge with a little pepper and chili powder, who can’t stand it. Bi zon, Hanoi’s specialty. This dish has a place called longan cake because it looks like a longan. Crispy, sweet and sweet, sometimes spicy, put in your mouth to chew. Ice cream exists in many forms: Big block, four seasons ice cream, seven colors. Summer is always cool! A cup of black jelly tea or the South, also known as dew flute, adds a little sugar, fresh coconut and white pearls… Oh, just thinking about it makes me feel a hot summer. “Who’s tofu nogggggggggggg”, hearing the screams, the children were all excited and anxious. The sweet sound of tofu with coconut water is both fat and sound. For those of you in Hanoi, the specialty of buying autumn with bananas dipped in rice is nothing like. The plasticity of the nuggets and the sweetness of the banana blend together to form a “top of the top” dish. Raw tomatoes mixed with sugar. It sounds a bit wrong, but after trying it, we say it’s addicting. And finally, after the afternoon of running away from home, it is: “EAT”. Xuan Lan’s most recently published work is an illustrated book “What do you do in 199?” (made with author Trang Neko), tells about funny childhood memories of the late 8X early 9X generation.

Every day she sells a few hundred pieces, always has a fixed number of loyal customers. Pancakes molded in the Central style, small with adult hands spread out, filled with shrimp and beef, adding prices to help relieve boredom. The cake dough adds turmeric to make it yellow, deep-fried, fun to chew. The cake casting pans always make a funny sizzling sound. There are also good food khot cakes here, but the price is affordable and affordable for many people. Like many other food shops in other markets, Ms. Sau pancake stalls only have a few short plastic tables, placed under the umbrella for customers to sit and eat, so it is quite hot in the sun, and the rain is wet and uncomfortable. So on days when the weather in Saigon is uncomfortable and the restaurant is empty, until 22:00, you still have a few cakes to buy for dinner. However, at the end of the year, when it is cool, the cake here ends quite early, around 20 o’clock, she cleaned the shop. The rim of the cake is not as thin as the western pancake, but evenly thick from the inside out. Small size costs 6,000 VND / item, each person can eat about 4 pieces is just enough. There are also large cakes with the price of 20,000 VND / item for one person to eat. It is an easy dish that causes fatigue due to greasy fried foods, and a lot of starch, but thanks to being wrapped with all kinds of raw vegetables, the dish does not feel greasy. The plus point here is that a cup of fish sauce dilutes the taste, perfectly combined with the pancake, adding a little freshly ground chili to the standard for a cool Saigon dinner. You can order an iced tea or sugarcane beverage for cravings. Besides, this area also sells many other dishes such as rib porridge, grilled chicken, vermicelli, pho … for you to choose from.

Ms. Le Thi Dieu started selling ribs porridge on Hang Bo street (Hanoi) from the date of retirement. Her youngest daughter, Lien, has been assisting her with sales since the very first days of selling. Now, her health is not the same as before, so Lien takes care of most of the work. For more than a quarter of a century, she and her daughter have kept the same recipe from day one: pork bones were carefully simmered for a sweet broth, pureed rice; The ratio of two main ingredients must be very good to have a delicious pot of porridge. The bowl of porridge is smooth and smooth, with a little meat and crispy, eating all year round still feels delicious. Despite its simplicity, the rustic taste has attracted and retained many diners. Mrs. Dieu cleaned the goods from 6:30, but only until 9am, the porridge was gone. Porridge is always kept hot for the best taste. Every time the porridge pot is gone, Mrs. Lien adds a new pot ready to serve. As a morning gift that is both healthy and light-hearted, people come to eat porridge of all ages, from the elderly to young children. Many people eat porridge here from a young age until they get married, become parents, and go back to Mrs. Dieu’s line to buy porridge for their children. She is always very gentle porridge, and gives the bowl of porridge to the guests with both hands, lovingly like a family member.

Specialty ribs porridge To mention porridge in Hanoi, first to mention rib porridge. Porridge is stirred from water rice flour or dry rice flour, not cooked from whole grain rice. Smooth, comparable porridge, when eaten together. Called rib porridge but rarely see ribs, sometimes we see small pieces of meat that are stewed soft, sweet, sweet. Porridge at one time was considered a food for preschoolers, but it was also a dish that adults also liked. A small bowl of porridge lining the afternoon, not too heavy, and just enough to have more energy … wait until dinner. Porridge in the street now is much different from the past. Before trying to get the meat, nowadays, speaking in the language of the teenagers, it was “full topping”. That is, in addition to the porridge, in addition to the funeral, there are also all kinds of “drivers” attached such as sausages, minced meat, boiled quail eggs … Not to mention that if you order cartilaginous porridge, there will be more chips in the bowl. seven chopped young ribs as big as 2 knuckles. Only eat a bowl when it is full until afternoon. The theory of eating a snack to wait for a main meal has completely changed. Such a bowl of porridge can be full until the next day, from having to eat dinner. In the afternoon or midday, Ly Quoc Su street, district lane, is crowded with porridge. The rows of porridge ribs on Hang Dieu Street were also crowded with people coming in and out. Bat Dan Street, early in the morning, also has a row of delicious rib porridge. The owner sat on the sidewalk next to the famous vermicelli restaurant, so when sitting on the vermicelli, it would overflow to the porridge row chair and vice versa. After being stirred, the rib porridge is usually put the whole pot in the basket with all the compost, so that most of it is sold and the porridge in the pot is still hot. In addition to rib porridge there is also a clam porridge, the cooking method is similar. No one for the rib porridge gives onions, but the mussels porridge has a few more chopped chopped veggies. Restaurants that bring street food into luxury menus also rarely ignore rib porridge. Of course, eating a bowl of rib porridge on the sidewalk is only 10-15 thousand VND / bowl. The porridge in the restaurant sometimes doubled, but not as delicious. Heart-liver porridge and all kinds of variations In the morning, if you are bored with vermicelli and vermicelli, you can change to porridge. There are many breakfast porridge, of course, besides rib porridge, there are also heart porridge, chicken porridge or minced meat porridge. Church street chicken porridge is so famous that people call it curse porridge. However, the person who wrote this article a hundred times to eat, have never been cursed “eat more” times. I do not understand if the porridge cuss is just a false rumor or just “painting depends on the face, the ghosts depend on the person”. Praise that the porridge here is excellent and delicious is not necessarily true, but if you count in the center of Hanoi, no one can surpass this porridge. Sweet, fatty porridge, natural sweetness of chicken, eaten until the last piece is still not mortar. In addition to chicken porridge, there is also a porridge system 37. Seeing that starting is the porridge shop at 37 Tran Nhan Tong, after the children of the owner opened more porridge in other establishments. So there is also a row on Phung Hung Street, and then Hoang Quoc Viet or Vo Chi Cong both have. The porridge here is cooked with broken rice. Where the customers eat, the seller draws a small pot to boil and depending on the request, add heart, liver, kidney or minced meat … This porridge is quite crowded, customers come in and out. But even though we eat many times here, we still absolutely do not see the owner getting angry, scolding the staff. Even the customer who entered a few times seven times, the owner remembers her face and next time she does not need to order, she has quietly told the staff: “She eats some porridge and does not have pasta”. If mentioning porridge without mentioning porridge heart, it is a shortcoming. Porridge is usually sold in rows of pigs, but in Hanoi there are also products that only sell porridge. Porridge is sold early in the morning for breakfast or at noon to serve the office workers. Also related to pig’s heart, in recent years, there has been a trend of eating congee porridge. Instead of being cooked in the usual way of boiling, the heart here is sliced ​​into pieces and then poured into porridge. When drawing the bowl, including porridge and heart, of course 7 parts heart, 3 parts porridge. Drinkers love this 1-to-2 dish. Influence of porridge from the sea, many restaurants in Hanoi also sell all kinds of other variations such as shrimp porridge, oyster porridge, clam porridge, porridge … In the Central region, seafood porridge is often cooked, when served with perilla, flower onions and fragrant purple onions. There was also a movement to import cuisine, there was a wave of Hanoi arose at the Singapore frog porridge. The frog is stir-fried with typical spices, porridge to separate, when eaten, the frog and porridge are mixed together. A few years ago, frog porridge rows filled the streets, but now suddenly they see less. I wonder if it’s because this is a dish that has been moving in a “7-level spicy noodle” for some time. However, the way of stir-frying frogs has a slightly sweet taste, it does not seem to suit the taste for Hanoians.
