Vietnamese Cuisine
Vietnam is a tropical country with more than two thousands miles of coastal line, lush and warm, where sea food, fishes, ducks, green vegetables, herbs and spices are plentiful all year round; chicken, pork and beef are considered to be luxurious items. Its meals are light but flavorful. To bring out the savories of the main ingredients, the Vietnamese cuisine uses more herbs & spices instead of lard & oil, it enhances the sense of taste with a balance of salty, sweet & sour. Most dishes combines delightful mix of contrasting textures: soft & crunchy, chewy & tender, smooth and grainy.

Vietnamese food tends to contain a lot of salt, this may cause body fluid retention, so you need to drink a lot of water since the best way to get rid of fluid retention is to give the body what it needs most: water. By drinking more water, the sodium levels in the system are reduced and the sodium is flushed from the cells, thus decreasing the swelling.

The author has given us a really wonderful picture of Vietnam and its cuisine. I am surprised to find that pork is a luxury item in Vietnam. I am from US and here pork is readily available at all eateries. It is good to hear that Vietnamese cuisine uses more herbs and spices instead of lard and oil. It goes on to show that the people are really health conscious. In fact the author has given us some wonderful recipes and I am going to try Nem Nuong (Grilled Vietnamese Meat Ball) today.
