From Marijuana to Lotus Seeds: Fruits, Flowers and fresh greens we feasted our eyes on as we walk in Hanoi and Sa Pa, Vietnam


From Marijuana to Lotus Seeds and Tree where chopsticks are born, these are the photos of various fruits, flowers and yes, vegetables we feasted our eyes on as we walk along Hoan Kiem Lake in Hanoi and the market route in Sa Pa, Valley of Vietnam. If we were not walking, we must be riding the cyclo around Hanoi or ran a bit because of drizzles in SaPa.... What a memorable vacation because of these colors.  


Can't help it. In Tam coc, when i saw a vietnamese woman 
holding out her lotus to another vietnamese woman, 
i excitedly extended my palm to ask for one.
 I bought the preserved crunchy and nutty lotus seed...
and because of that curious moment in tam Coc,
 i can compare it with the raw peanutty texture of the fresh lotus seed..
Tastes good, actually.Yahoo! 

We are all familiar with this fruit: its appearance and smell... Love Durian...




Beside the watermelon, what's that??? Note: --My friend says that's a citrus...

Aliw. So cute is this Banana Heart bunch. This is fronting a cafe in Sa Pa.
By the way, their happy hours in this place is from 11PM to 6:30PM.

This is kinda cute. The leaves of the plant themselves look like the bloom already. Also in SaPa...

Pretty flowers in two hues;
still in Sa Pa, cool place like Baguio City in the Philippines
where hotels do not use aircon but still cool all day long....

Looks exotic to me. Sa Pa.
