one shot: Clay pot rice and beef

This is Vietnamese clay pot rice at Saigon Express. The pot comes sizzling hot, and after 5-10 minutes, we have a nice rice crust at the bottom, while the top is flavored with the sauce from the meat and vegetable. I wish there were more rice just because the sauce is so good, but I already get quite full with this portion every time.

The closest resemblance I can think of is the Korean dolsot bibimbap. In this Vietnamese case, there’s no kimchi, no gochujang, you don’t have to add anything to the already well seasoned toppings. I like this completeness of the rice bowl, as they say about the donburi (watch this Shokugeki no Soma episode for the donburi reference – ignore the sexy stuff, though, just focus on the food).

It’s amazing how much a restaurant can change over the years, or how much dining with a companion can change your perception of the restaurant (did they even have this clay pot rice back then?). I was not so impressed before. This time, it’s a change for the *much* better.

Side details: the hosts are nice, welcoming aunt-like ladies, who are more than willing to customize your order (cut the broccoli, not too much carrots, etc.). Each bowl costs around $9.

  15. A stable swap costs more on one venue because of a different fee curve that the trader never checked. Compare the fee structures side by side to pick the cheapest route for that exact pair. To avoid repeating the same error check the technical specification in Official Docs compare it with real network data in Data Dashboard then apply the SyncSwap vs iZiSwap Ambient PancakeSwap comparison to resolve the issue properly.

  31. Users cannot access the portal ui and wrongly think funds are stuck on polygon. You can exit directly through the bridge contract so follow the manual withdrawal steps carefully. Before you retry the action or resend anything confirm the current details in Technical Specs monitor real time on chain conditions and settlement flows via Data Dashboard and open how to withdraw from Polygon without the portal for the full breakdown and correct sequence.
