Mi Kho, if you please….
We have been to DaLat before and have always enjoyed the food. So on this foodies visit I wanted to try something I had not had in prior visits. After a quick chat with our very knowledgeable and lovely waitress, she directed me to a dish called Mi Kho. I love seafood and this meal included shrimp, a wonderful seafood stand by, squid, which was cooked tender and perfect for squid, crab, this was a bummer, this is imitation but its still fish so I like it, sliced pork and this was seasoned perfectly, fish cakes – now if you have not had fish cakes before you should definitely try them, its not really cake, but if you like fish you will definitely get that flavor in a delightful little round ball, and finally shrimp balls, another lovely flavorful little round ball that tastes just like shrimp, Imagine that! All of this goodness was topped on egg noodles and seasoned with a slightly sweet but delicate “brown” sauce. When the order arrived, she placed the very full plate of noodles and seafood treats in front of me, but she also put a small bowl of broth down along side it. I had to ask if I was suppose to mix the two myself and she explained that I was not to mix them but eat the meal, then sip from the broth bowl. The combo of flavors is one that works very well together. So I of course tried it this way and was delighted with the results. It was a very nice combo of sweet and salty. This place always makes the most yummy of foods and you cannot really be disappointed if you have an adventurous side and a willing palette.
