Phumy - that looks quite good! I am just not sure that I want it for breakfast..... They also do spicy pork dumplings (with pickled veg) but that then repeats on you all morning!
As for the clown, yes it is everywhere over here but to be fair the quality is far far better than the UK or the US. And sometimes a sausage and egg muffin just has to be done
- for the same reasons as a roast on Sunday once in a while!

As long as the chef is not having an off day its very nice, there are a couple of specialist Pho restaurants in Saigon that have been doing this dish for years and they are delicious, its also a very cheap dish too, only about $1.25 a bowl and thats in these special restaurants, anywhere else and youre talking $0.8. It'll keep you going till the afternoon, easy.As for the clown, yes it is everywhere over here but to be fair the quality is far far better than the UK or the US.

You cant beat watching an Asian routing around in the eye sockets of a chicken head with their tongue 
...and for the VN restaurant staff or fellow VN customers; picking his nose a few seconds before serving up your meal, making you a sandwich after just scratching his arse or gobbing on the floor of the restaurant after taking a couple of minutes coughing it up from the back of his throat...lovely jubbly!! And all that in front of the restaurant so it doesn't bear thinking about what goes on behind the restaurant in the food prep/kitchen area!

What is breakfast like - it is the one meal that the Japanese haven't got sorted.
Rice porridge and raw eggs - yeuggh!
Glen
True Vietnamese style breakfast is normally hot noodles with either beef (Pho) or seafood (Hai San) or in my hotel egg and bacon. In the Pho the beef is cut very thin and placed into the noodle raw so that it cooks in the bowl as you are preparing the herbs that you get with it, therefore the beef is slightly rare and extremely tender.Rice porridge and raw eggs - yeuggh!
