Supper in Sapa

There are some very strange things on the menu in Sapa like porcupine, cervit cat, bamboo rat and horse you can have all of them stir fried. We settled for salmon and sturgeon hot pot one evening. So the bowl of stock is bought to the table and placed over a heater and you are given a basket of vegetables and a plate with the fish and tofu then you cook it all yourselves and eat with rice.

We also ate street food at the night market, the menu also has some unappetising items such as sparrow, turtle dove and a frog. Everything is barbecued over hot charcoal. Not the best place for vegetarians. We tried a few bits Mr C pork, Mrs C fish then went for a pizza.

Vendors in the street are roasting chestnuts in abundance and they are very moorish. They go down very well with the tiny tangerines and fresh pineapple you can buy very cheaply.

Coffee is a bit hit and miss and the coffee that the hotel serves for breakfast is vile, luckily I have bought my own coffee bags - thank you Sainsbury!
