Phuwanalee resort khaoyai

Great and quiet resort with a massive garden in Khaoyai area not far from the entrance of the national park  of the same name.

One of the interesting things  is that  all those plants and trees gotname and labeled with care in botanic garden style... I love that!

I like the thai classic style building just next to the reception and swimming pool

Vietnamese Crab soup - súp cua

This version look soft and beautiful 

 I love this soup and have to orders it anywhere i have a chance to meet it. This street food is much more tastier during the winter or you buy it  at mountain resort town like Da Lat or Sa Pa . The soup main ingredient are  crab meat or  their soul (hardly see it on street food version except you buy it in some fancy restaurant) ,some quail eggs ( súp cua trứng cút) ,and  asparagus (Mang Tay)  or  bamboo shoot (Mang) in some version  .It's a thick gluelike soup  but tasty .

 súp cua trứng cút  - crab meat soup with quail eggs

here are  my several clips on this delicious  but mysterious dish .. I said mysterious because sometime seem like there was no crab or asparagus in there at all !
