I hear we all say that nothing beats mom's cooking... I could say otherwise, LOL.
My mom is not a great cook. She either always adds too much fish sauce, soy sauce, salt, or a tad too much MSG. Needless to say, whenever you eat her food, you either need some source of liquid, or not eat it at all, LOL.
Though saying this, I can also say that there are some dishes mom makes the best, and if I were to eat the same dish anywhere else, it wouldn't compare. The number one food I love mom making is Pho- a Vietnamese noodle soup. Everyone should know what it is, right? Yes, mom's pho is the best. She takes the time and effort to brew the soup for11 hours, adding in numbers of Chinese spices and loads of meat and bone. She finely slices the meat, prepares the garnishes, and when the 11 hours are over (plus the few hours preparing) we can finally eat her pho :3 I really want to learn the way she makes it before it's too late..
The other dish I really love is this dish (picture below). I'm not entirely sure what it's called in English- I don't even know it's Vietnamese name. Basically it's kind of like a savoury tomato soup (it doesn't taste so much like tomato though,) with soft fried tofu and pork. Some spring onions, lettuce and rice, and you're done! It's a refreshing sort of food, in my opinion. Even though it's warm, the lettuce gives the dish that cool sort of feeling, you know what I mean? And it make you happy. Well, it makes me happy.
Yes, I do like decorating my food when I get the chance, hahas.
