Some of those foods look unappetizing to me. Maybe it's a taste thing? Like those foods that look like sh'it but taste like heaven? In any case, Happy New Year to those celebrating it today/tomorrow!

What is this called, and where can I buy it?

Bánh mì

Where to buy? Depends. Around Pittsburgh, there's an old lady that makes it near the sidewalks, and I buy it off of her while my parents are going shopping in the Strip District.

Haha, I'll take wannabe Asians over Asians that try to be Fob anyday.

Speaking of Viet food, what's that tasty Fish Sauce you guys use on spring rolls and stuff :o ?

I don't recall brand names. However, for spring rolls, what's in the sauce is:

-Fish Sauce
-Sugar
-Water
-Lemon or lime juice (Squeezed)
-Chopped garlic
-Hot peppers

If done right, you'll get that taste. I've made it multiple times when I made spring rolls at my house. Not as good as my mother though. Actually, found the ingredients right here. It's basically what I said up there ^, but with more accuracy and details.

here Enjoy!

Oh wow, that doesn't look hard at all. Gonna try this sometime, thanks!

I'm bringing over some Viet spring rolls (frozen, store bought) to my friend's house later, but I didn't know how to make the sauce so I had to settle for Sweet & Chili sauce instead. Missing Lemon/Lime and Hot Pepper f4.

No problem, buddy! I usually buy store bought spring-rolls too, but they're barely 1.5 inches in length, really small rolls. Haha. If it's eggrolls though, I make by hand. But spring-rolls, I buy them frozen in packs. @_@; Sauce is super easy to make, just watch how much water or Fish Sauce you're putting in there, haha!!!

GOOD LUCK LOL

It's this magic formula that either makes or breaks. You add an ounce of extra fish sauce, you're dipping in fish sauce, You add an extra spoon of sugar, you're dipping it in pure water.

Here's some visuals though

But that's a pretty general dip used for almost anything Viet. For spring rolls it's best that you use a different sauce. Maybe Khoi knows about - it's a black sauce, made from cooked housin sauce. Usually if you order for spring rolls at a Viet place they'll give you this sauce sprinkled with some peanuts.

Sh't. I know what you're talking about. Isn't it like really sweet? It's basically Hoisin Sauce, but I have no clue how to make it!!! /rage Hoisin Sauce isn't bad either. I only use it to eat with Pho, really. I usually eat Spring Rolls, Imperial Rolls, Egg rolls all with Nuoc Mam Pha though, so.. lol.

Actually most people who posted in the start of this thread are Asian...

And the foods posted in this thread are actually pretty good. I don't think I've tried what Khoi posted though. It looks pretty much like a normal sandwich to me, so it's possible I ate it before without realizing.

'Cause that's what it is.

Nope.
Just a ghost who was originally a villain, but then got lazy and became "more human than most humans"

The remark was toward Tobias for saying he wishes he were Asian.

Oh, I'm sorry for misinterpreting your post then.

Here's some more New Year's pictures. In Vietnam, they called it as 'Tet'. I don't have the proper keyboard functions to do so on here, but it's basically a "^" above the "e". Forgot if there was another accent mark though, hmm. Probably does have another.







I was trying to look for a Vietnamese "Trai Tac" tree, which is a Calamansi Tree that they use for the New Year's, but I can't seem to find any online. :/
