Mỳ tôm – the instant food that overseas Vietnamese crave
I used to think instant noodles would almost taste the same wherever I am. This perception changed utterly when I moved to South Africa for a temporary term of office last year. The time is long enough for me to taste most of the local food and, surely, instant noodles of local brands, to realise that I have started craving for Vietnamese-flavoured noodles.
