Aside from the soups (and even including many of the soups) viet food is the most bland shit ever.

No place around here has holy basil - it's near impossible to grow in the u.s. from what I've read. You confused it with Thai basil.

I don't think I've ever been to a Vietnamese place outside of Vietnam where it was run/owned by a pure Vietnamese person. All the ones I've seen in the US are run by Chinese or half-breed Chinese/Vietnamese mongrels.

Last three times I ate Vietnamese food, I got food poisoning. I'd say that's a huge flaw. (and it was from three different restaurants.)
I've been eating Viet food most of my life, but this is starting to turn me totally off it, unless I make it myself. Why can't their restaurants maintain health standards?

Cantonese, ESPECIALLY the stuff that gets peddled as such in the west is literally full of fat and sugar.

It is why burgerfats such as yourself find it so addicting. Or more precisely, it is precisely because you burgerfats find it so appealing that it has developed that way in western markets.

Go back to Golden Corral and eat some more wings with 'plum' sauce you overweight grease and sugar addict.

I have a Vietnamese grocery store near my house that sells western basil, holy basil, and thai basil. They all taste pretty different too if you ever had them. I use basil a lot, so I always buy all three. I use the western stuff only in western cooking. The holy basil I use for pad kra pao gai (thai basil chicken) with some eggs. It tastes peppery. The thai basil I use a ton of, because green curry is my favorite dish. I love the lightly sweet, minty taste it has.

>>8138098
Do you have the recipe?

Regarding soy sprouts, they are pretty hard to get fresh where I'm from. Are canned ones ok for soup as well? I never bought them because they are quite expensive (2$ a can) and I fear that they are too mushy this way.

>>8131704
Ate this shit for the first time a week ago. Cold noodles and too much fucking mint. What's the point? Is it supposed to be refreshing or something? The chili sauce was the only thing that made it remotely edible. I probably would've been happier just drinking the sauce. Never again.

I spent an entire month in Vietnam and the food is absolutely trash.
Some soups, grilled seafood and nem variations are decent to exceptionally good, but everything is laughably bland and repetitive. And those meatball/sausage things are repulsive as shit.

Hell I actually threw up once when they had me taste some weird fish soup. That thing was vile.

And most of the time I was eating homemade meals.

The last time I had pho I within 20 minutes I was doubled over in pain in the restroom having diahrrea that I kid you not had the same color and smell as the broth. Now every time I smell pho it reminds me of my shit.

I've worked with Vietnamese folks, and I will tell you by and large they are not concerned with hygiene, let alone food safety. One of the most backwards places in Asia. I wouldn't be surprised if the cook hadn't showered or washed their hands in a week.

A lot of the nightmare kitchens don't get inspections for months/years and/or they actually fail the inspections or get citations in the past that they just brush off, which is a symptom of management doing a very shit job.

A lot of the places on Kitchen Nightmares barely function as shitty fast food joints to begin with so their shit standards would get the wrath of Gordon no matter what, even if Fox is doing their best to make a mountain out of a molehill.

How does this happen without the restaurant getting shut down?

>>8142742
amurikka

>>8142742
There are a variety of reasons why a filthy restaurant gets to stay open. None of them excuse the fact that they get to stay open but you can see how it happens.

Sometimes they barely pass, sometimes they get their shit together long enough to clean up the place to pass inspection, sometimes the inspector just doesn't care, sometimes the inspector can be bribed. Also a lot of places just basically call you ahead of time telling you that there's a "surprise" inspection coming up, and sometimes you can just take a good guess as to whether your place is going to be up next within the week just by looking at the list of recent inspections on the public county health inspection website. Sometimes the restaurant could fail a certain aspect of the inspection and are allowed to stay open but have to keep a warning sticker on the door until it's cleared up in a follow-up.

Also some businesses lobby for more lax inspections because it costs them money and regulation is a government waste, blahblahblah. Totally unrelated, the departments that usually do these inspections are underfunded and understaffed 99% of the time, if not 100%.

Another thing is that Fox forbids the restaurants to clean up their kitchens before the cameras arrive. A lot of people (aka. butthurt owners) say this is scummy behaviour and ruins their image, etc. but I personally don't see much wrong with that because Fox doesn't forbid normal cleaning, just that they don't want the restaurants to just go full on scrub mode so that they look shiny and clean when the cameras arrive and hide the fact that it's a filthy hellhole 99% of the year. If the kitchen shows up as filthy on camera when Gordon gets to it, it was probably filthy loooooooooooong before they applied to Fox.

>>8142742
Health inspectors vary in how they run the show. I've seen a place get shut down for rat droppings because the inspector wrote down each individual dropping as a separate individual violations. Meanwhile across town another inspector sees droppings, gives one violation and they get to stay open.

Care to name some superior noodle soup? Not that I entirely disagree with you. Pho is usually pretty subtle on it's own.

>>8145872
Where to even begin? It's just a beef/anise broth with subpar noodles and veg. Virtually every other kind of Asian noodle is superior even the generic stuff like soba. If you want something interesting try some tonkotsu, seolleongtang, laksa, or just thai curry noodles. At least you will get veg more exciting /fitting than fucking jalapeños and breansprouts. Also everything listed goes well with a soft boiled egg soaked in soy.
