Last night we took the advice of Vietnamese tour-and-web guy Kyle Le and tried a small street-food restaurant in Hoi An called Thao Nguyen. (Here’s his YouTube review.) The place can’t be found online and Kyle’s video doesn’t mention a specific address. But Jett finally found it and we were moderately pleased with the food. We all had Cao Lau. The average dish costs around $1.60 (35,000 dong = $1.57.). Anything is better than going to a tourist restaurant. If I see portly white American couples in shorts and sandals on an outdoor restaurant patio, I avoid that place like the plague.
