Hello everyone, how are you all? I hope you are in good condition, healthy and happy. There are many things that make us happy, one of which is enjoy life in the way we like. Like me who loves food and eats very well. It doesn't matter if it's in restaurant or street food, I like food in whatever form it is.

One of the interesting things when I was in Vietnam was enjoying street food very well. At every step, I try to try food that I have never eaten, especially if it is about typical food from the country I visit. This time, is the time that I really enjoy eating really well, especially Vietnamese street food.

I started this trip as a backpacker, I think in Asia, backpacking is the best way to enjoy the culture and habits of local people, therefore I like to observe and learn about the differences with the habits where I live. Even though it turns out it's not much different, the food is really very different.

That afternoon, when we were looking for tourist attractions, we decided to enjoy the street food that we found wherever our feet stepped. The first thing I found was Vietnamese Coffee. I was curious about the crowds of people sitting on the side of the road, with very small chairs to sit with office friends and enjoy a glass of coffee with milk, let's call it Caphe Sua.

Well, I'm really curious, what is the difference between caphe sua in Indonesia and Vietnam, lies in the completely different taste of coffee, in fact I have never tasted coffee like this in my city. So, going to one of the quiet places, in front of a museum in Ho Chi Minh City, I found a woman who was quite old, selling all kinds of drinks, including cold caphe sua.

He sells various drinks such as orange juice, ice tea, caphe sua and others. I didn't ask much because he didn't understand the language I was using, and I also didn't understand what he was saying, the difference in language was enough to make it difficult for me. But, caphe sua makes things easier.

I bought a glass of iced caphe sua for 15,000vnd and it was quite cheap. One of the places I can recommend to try delicious caphe sua with the best in this city. In fact, after arriving in Indonesia I tried to make coffee with the same taste, but again I failed miserably.

Apart from buying caphe sua, I also bought a pack of crackers baked over hot coals. Quite unique, because I thought it was like normal rice crackers, which are fried and taste salty and savory, but sure, the taste is certainly different, because this is a banana cracker which is quite popular, being one of Vietnam's typical foods that shouldn't be missed.

I never thought that bananas could be made into crackers like this, baked over hot coals and it makes the aroma and taste different from frying them. This is a pleasure because curiosity is extraordinary.

Seeing this middle-aged woman carrying her cart by lifting it using wood, this is really very traditional, even the tools used for grilling are very difficult to find in urban areas. The woman wore a typical Vietnamese hat and comfortable clothes to protect her body from dust on the journey, looking very strong to carry all her things with her own body.

After he baked the banana crackers we bought, I tried to enjoy them slowly and felt the extraordinary taste sensation. Sweet, crunchy when you bite into it and a little chewy with the banana topping, it's really good, I think this can be calling a Vietnamese dessert. In your opinion, what kind of snack is this similar to in Indonesia?
