Ken wanted us to have banh xeo, a pancake-type specialty of the region near My Lai/Son My. Tony, our guide, asked where the best banh xeo (pronounced bang say-o) could be found and we were directed to a little road by the beach where there was a row of small local restaurants. We sat down in large covered area across the road by the beach and ordered. They brought us plates of banh xeo and fried noodles along with a pot of boiled clams. This was not a place where tourists ever come. The food was great and the experience even better. I don't even like clams, but these were delicious.
The real kicker -- the bill. Mounds of food and drinks for everyone for the equivalent of about $41 U.S. in a thatched pavilion by the South China Sea. It was good.
