'Ram' - Speciality in Quang Ngai, Vietnam

We went for 'Ram' during one of the Sunday lunch. It is actually a mixed platter of appetizer but to the Vietnamese, it is a main dish.

Vietnamese people are very specialized. When they sell chicken rice (Com Ga), they will only sell chicken rice. No other choices. Same thing happen to this shop selling ‘Ram’. They only sell ‘Ram’ and no other things.

So once we sit down, they will come and serve us at least 2 to 3 plates of this ‘Ram’. Then this ‘Ram’ will come together with many different types of vegetables or we called it ‘grasses and leaves’. The most important ingredient of this ‘Ram’ is its pork sauce.

We have to wrap one of the varieties ‘Ram’ onto the transparent sheet (like spring rolls skin) with some grasses, leaves and of course not forgetting the sauce.

The only problem with Vietnamese shops selling all these original Vietnamese’s delicacies are their glasses. They will put some empty glasses with a teapot of tea on the table and even though after being used by customers, they will never wash it.

Ok, no bluffing. I saw it with my own eyes. What they did is, they just throw away the remaining tea in the glass and put the glasses back to the tray. Yuck…!

Then after lunch on that Sunday, we went to laminate my newly bought mobile phone – my Sony Ericson P1.

Guess how much does it cost to laminate one mobile phone? VND 10,000 (it is equivalent to RM2) only. It took him around 15-20 minutes to laminate one handphone.

Hahaha, initially when Lim told me about this service, I thought it was done inside a shop.


Then only I realized that I am wrong. They actually have those stalls along the street to offer laminating service and they do laminate motorbike as well. All these Vietnamese are marvelous.


This is where the quote 'Nothing is impossible' is proven.
