Vietnamese cuisine can be a lot of fun if you know what to order. It is a bit more exotic and can be more healthy then your usual Chinese fair.  I spent a year working in a Vietnamese restaurant learning about the food. Often Vietnamese menus can be a bit daunting, so here is your Vietnamese dictionary to help you sort it out. 

Bo = Beef

Ga = Chicken

Tom = Shrimp

Thit = Pork

Muc = Squid

Do Bien = Seafood

Thap Cam = Combination Seafood and meat

Dau Hu = Tofu
