This is new to me. Can ask my cousin to bring some back but just wonder can go thru immigration.
Anncoo, my husband kept in luggage and check in.
I love this veg! They come in seasons. Boil this veg soup like the way you boil 'gao-kei' soup (ikanbilis and lean pork stock). It's very refreshing and tasty.Oh, don't forget to stir an beaten egg to the soup.
oh..tis vegie looks new...会很凉性的吗？beside beef, wat can i fry with？ cos i dun take beef.
I have never see this type of veggie before. Very interesting. I look very much like some flower buds.
哇..我也没见过这个菜哦..看来很好吃的样子,不知道'味道"如何?有机会去越南一定要买来吃吃看!
Definitely interesting kind of veggie. I'm still curious about it's taste, still can't find it here in Texas since I last saw it on your post. I figure some market will have it here since there are so many Vietnamese in Houston.
Oh well, I guess I will just feed my eyes for now! Great photos girl! Great photo composition!
What cute veggies! The entire dish looks really tasty. Love all that beef!
My mom used to plant this 'yeh heong fa'(in contonese) in our garden and is supposed to be good for our eyes. I made soup with anchovy and eggs. I used to have this plant a year ago before I shifted to a condominium, my girlfriend brought it back for me from Johor.
I think this is called 夜香花 in Cantonese like what May said.Not commonly available in Singapore but I've seen it in Golden Mile complex and Joo Chiat market.... eaten once but can't remember where. BTW Sonia it is very sweet of your hubby to bring the veggies all the way back from Ho Chin Minh. I cannot imagine what is the reaction of the Singapore airport custom officer if they found some of these in my hubby's luggage...LOL
The thie-ly looks beautiful !
How I wish I can have a bite of this and to know what the taste is ?
Beef and Vege's... ! YUM ! I would love to try this...I am sure you made it really great Sonia...

So interesting! I've never had this veggie before. I guess it's a specialty in Vietnam. The tiny flowers are so pretty.
This thien ly looks like 夜香花 in Cantonese like what May and A Fulltime housefly said. My mum use to cook soup. The soup cook with some meat and egg. Understand from my mum it good for eye.

If this is call 夜香花，there is a plant in my mum-in-law's garden too. It give a really fragrant smell and my mum-in-law normally cook this in soup..^_^
I though they looked like Jasmine flowers! Never seen or heard of these, but excellent effort by you.
this veg looks almost like yeh lai siang, used in whole winter melon soup (doong gua jung) in Hong Kong. pretty!
