Yum.

This is what I ate for breakfast each day on my trip. My host's housekeeper (whose name is Margaret) went out to the street vendor on the corner to pick it up for me. She was just tickled that I wanted local food. Apparently most of the houseguests that stay there only want Corn Flakes.

It's noodles (rice-based, I think), which you mix with fish soup, lotus root, cilantro, red pepper flakes, fried stuff that used to be some kind of vegetable, and the juice of a local citrus fruit that isn't a lime, and that doesn't seem to have an English name.

Let me repeat:

Yum.
