With plans to hit Cua Dai beach (5 km from old town), we rented a motor bike for the day. We never did end up going today, but we did get to go on some great cruises. $5 for the day was $5 well spent. We do end up renting a motorbike for all 3 days we're in Hoi An, but that's a story for another day.
With large sectors of Old Town closing to motorized vehicles for various random times throughout the day, if you spend too much time in a store, you might find that you'll need to push your bike down the street.

What a work out, it's time for lunch!
 |
| Mermaid Restaurant (recommended by Lonely Planet for their great local specialties) |
 |
Spring rolls and White Rose (yeah.. again. I love the chewiness of the rice paper! So good...) |
|
 |
| Banh xeo: crispy savory pancakes served with rice paper and herbs. Greasy goodness wrapped in rice paper! |
 |
| Chicken fried rice... yummy. Whenever we had chicken back at the peace house, more often than not it was dry... And the herbs and lime were a nice touch! |
I would like to try this White rose thing...
ReplyDeleteI LOVE banh xeo. i had it almost every night for a week before i left.
ReplyDeleteyou're a phony!
ReplyDeleteIt's yummy. It's kind of like shrimp dumplings at dim sum... but the outside is chewier. And the inside has a lot less shrimp..
ReplyDeleteBanh xeo is a greasy mess, haha.
Ruuuuuude!
Mama said : What a beautiful name "White Rose" I would love to try too...!
