| - Ha Long Bay intrigued me, and it wasn't just the waiter with unique tats running the length of his arms, nor the floor to ceiling window seating....although that helped....
No, it was the Tom Yum Talay that had my attention. So I'm in the mood for something spicy, and healing, and Tom Yum provides that medicine... trust...so I ask the waiter to be so kind as to serve me. And he obliges, and he brings out this generous bowl of soup chock-full with prawn, enormous scallop, mussels, squid, fresh chunks of galangal, ginger, lime leaves, shards of lemon grass, visible red chili slices, and of all things... pineapple?
Can't say I've ever had Tom Yum with pineapple before, was this some kind of fusion joke?... But screw it, I put heaping spoonfuls into my bowl and delicately slurped..... Wow.... that broth. Enamored...
I could write pages of my infatuation...
