When our food arrived, it was naturally Vietnamese food - as we were in a Vietnamese restaurant, and had ordered Vietnamese food. We had Món cuốn as an appetizer, a rice noodle dish (which I can't pronounce or remember), and Phở.
We were seated next to two elderly lady friends who were gossiping loudly about their mutual acquaintances, ex-husbands, and whatever was on their mind. When our food arrived, their topic of conversation quickly changed to marveling at our food, and they quickly asked our waitress what sort of food were we having?
"What is that? It almost looks like a soup?"
It hadn't occurred to them that they served Vietnamese food at a Vietnamese restaurant. When their food arrived - it was clear they had ordered from a Chinese menu.
It hadn't occurred to me that there was Chinese food at a Vietnamese restaurant. So I guess we're more similar than we are different - I obviously don't read the menu carefully enough.
