A Vietnamese woman in the Philippines posted a picture of a tray of rice in a faraway country, attracting more than 3,000 likes, saying the price of an ingredient surprised everyone, many people deeply sympathized.
The rustic dishes of the Vietnamese people from the past to the present have always brought a strange attraction that even if people go to 5 continents and 4 pools, it is hard to forget all over the horizon and corners of the sea. But actually, it’s not really delicious things, sometimes it’s just water spinach soup, a few pieces of tomato and soy sauce.
All the food is called “homegrown” but wherever people go, they will always remember and love, perhaps because it is the taste of the homeland, so even if you eat it, you will not forget it.
That’s why there are stories of “bad crying and laughing” happening with Vietnamese expatriates who crave a lot of home-flavoured food. For example, the story of a Vietnamese woman living in Canada buying a new water spinach with about 20 stalks for more than 100,000 VND just because she craves a bowl of Vietnamese pho.
And here is another example that proves the memorable power of Vietnamese food. Trinh Thom, currently living with her family in Manila city (Philippines), told about her meager meal in a faraway country in a Facebook group of nearly 3 million members. Her simple photo of a tray of rice has attracted 3,000 likes and many comments from netizens.

Specifically, Trinh said: “Hello everyone. Let me contribute a 100% Vietnamese meal. But I’m not in Vietnam, I’m living in Manila, Philippines.
Looking at a simple meal like this, it may be very simple for someone living in my hometown, but for me, it’s a bit of a struggle to find the right Vietnamese seasoning.
Firstly: Lot leaves are not here, you have to find Vietnamese friends who have gardens here. If they can grow it, then I can buy it. 40 guise leaves cost about 55,000 VND. 1 galangal tuber costs the same to cook a full meal. Crocodile is the one I brought from the previous batch. Boiled water spinach with crocodile eat “delicious and burnt”. I also have to ask someone to do it for me. The fake civet dish is only missing in each batch. The rest is delicious food.
Those who are at home cook their favorite dishes. But living in a foreign country is difficult to find standard spices. And yes, the price is also expensive.”
Thom’s post attracted a lot of attention from netizens.
Well, in Vietnam, if you live in the countryside, you run to the garden or ask your neighbors if you have a whole basket of betel leaves and can’t eat them all and don’t lose any money. Yet in a foreign country, craving a few bay leaves, or galangal root, a little bit of vinegar is also hard work. So, if it is said that this meal is “silver protein”, it is not certain, because buying the ingredients is also expensive!
At the bottom of the comments section, many netizens also expressed their agreement with Ms. Thom and affirmed that it is “painful if you go abroad to miss and crave home-made food, if you can buy ingredients for cooking, it hurts”. wallet” very!
One person wrote: “I’m in Korea, I have everything, just don’t have money to buy it”.
Another humorous comment: “Going to the West to eat Vietnamese food is as expensive as eating Western food in Vietnam”.
