A couple more interesting food treats.  We went to a restaurant the other night and both ordered duck; mine was roast duck with vegetables and cashews and Calvin had a duck curry.  This is the Vietnamese version,  mild, and made with coconut milk.  As usual my mountain of beans, beansprouts bok choy and carrot atop noodles arrived with a surprisingly large amount of duck concealed at every chopstickful (there is usually just a couple of slim slices of meat) and the cashews were everywhere.  Calvin also found his curry jampacked with duck pieces and dinner was very satisfying, with a complimentary profiterole and iced tea for the princely sum of  $3 each,   On the way home we estimated that between us we had eaten the best part of an entire duck.

On another day, we were out at lunchtime and stopped for some simple  meat and noodles, which came with what was termed, in delightful Vietnamese English, a muntaint of crisps - freshly cut and fried for each client.   Fresh, hot potato crisps are excellent.

Later that same day (we estimated on our return that we had been wandering for some 6 hours in the heat), we stopped at a restaurant for an icecream, and I had what was possibly the best grenadilla icecream I shall ever eat (until my next visit to that restaurant)   Calvin had a similarly delicious mango coup in a stemmed glass.
