Editor’s note: Jordy Comes Alive, from the U.S., has lived in Ho Chi Minh City for three years and become a big fan of local food after spending time wandering around local alleys and markets to discover the culinary scene. His piece has been titled, subtitled, and edited by Tuoi Tre News . I’ve noticed people can get a little jumpy when you talk about eating frogs. Not me though, I always leap at the opportunity.
