An article written by akrypti on 8asians.com sparked my interest on writing about a somewhat related topic which I’ve always been meaning to get to…Do you ever feel a bit embarrassed not knowing how to speak the language of your parents/grandparents/ancestors/etc.?

Vietnamese food, in my opinion, is quite simple…yet, it’s one of my favorite types of cuisine. A great dish that I’ve had the pleasure to come across is the Vietnamese sandwich, otherwise called banh mi.
