Thien Tam - Dong Ha

I recently dined at a restaurant where the menu was in Vietnamese. When I looked at the menu, marked with a "c," I was unsure of what I was ordering. The food I received was plentiful, but I couldn't tell if the slices were tofu or meat. As I tasted the dishes, I couldn't quite pinpoint if I was eating beef or duck. A helpful tip I learned is that "ch" in Vietnamese means dog.

It is worth moving from the center of the city to try this place. the decor is Buddhist and eating is great. they have the usual rice with mixed veg, roll and tofus, but there are other options on the menu. I have also tried some rolls that were very nice.

After finding fish (cá) on the menu, I couldn't help but question the dish I was served, which turned out to be a pleasant surprise as I had expected to try everything on the menu. I wondered if the slices were tofu or meat. A helpful tip: in Vietnamese, dog is chó.

This place is worth the trip from the city center. The Buddhist-themed decor is beautiful and the food is delicious. In addition to the usual rice and vegetable dishes, noodles, and tofu options, the menu also offers some other delicious choices. I particularly enjoyed the rolls I tried.
