Vietnamese pancakes and self-served springrolls ;-)


I had dinner at "sister" Vy's place yesterday, there was Swen and Loan as well. We were making springrolls for ourselves (although I don't mind making spingrolls for Huy-11 years old, the poor guy has ashma, love foods)and she made really good VNese pancakes!!

Swen is from Antwerpen, and is going to marry Loan, they are going back to Saigon in September to meet Loan's parents ;-). Although Swen has been in many Asian countries (Singapoor, China, Korea, Japan, Thailand, Maylaysia..), he has not been in VN! So, first time to VN and meet the parents, told him not to worry, Vnese's parents are not so difficult hehehe.

We all know how Belgians-Flemish feel when they have to speak French, and for Swen is even more because he is from Antwerpen. But Loan doesn't speak English and Dutch, so he is obliged to speak French (imagin how love can change people-LOL), but she is learning Dutch now, so that's good. Swen is quite happy to see me because we can talk about travelling, VN (yeah, Loan and Vy are very VNese-don't know Mozzallera or Amaretto, and absolutely nothing about VN's politics), and I can teach him VNese to speak to her parents, last but not least because he can escape French and speak English to me ;-)

Was fun to chat with them...
