Basically there are 14 Muslims to cater for for food. So being the only Muslim teacher I had to ensure that the students are taken care of in this halal aspect. So when its makan time its always me n 13 Muslim pupils together.
Only when we were on the boat to Ha Long Bay that we enjoy the seafood together.
Its easier to get an outside eatery to cater to our needs than to rely on the hotel. Its a bit 'mind-boggling' when you say that you will cater to the 14 of us. You segregate us from the rest of the group, kept us waiting for our food, lead us to think that our food wld be differently catered to, then when asked, you told us that the buffet spread is for everybody. The same for ALL. So if you eat Muslim food, just dont eat the pork. I told my husband that anyone who were to set up a Malay restaurant in Vietnam, definitely wld do well.
So its 2 day of Indian food for dinner. It got a bit too much for me as Indian meal is not really my cup-of-tea.
But when you compare to these meals and you got this kind of packing, well if it has to be Indian food then so be it.
They even forgot that we need to drink. They gave us the packing then left us to choke on our food. So like 'anak tiri'.
So in Hanoi, we got to eat at this restaurant that served Malaysian/Indonesian food. It was owned by a Malaysian man. Not too bad.
The best food in Ho Chi Min was after the tunnel visit. Good food and good ambience.
*Forgive me when I got high on Indian food.
