Phu Quoc Lunch

Pic is of Linh (left) & her mother (Thuy on right) preparing a traditional Vietnamese "Hot Pot". The restaurant presents a "hot pot" full of a broth .served on top of a burner. To ensure the freshness & quality of the hot pot's ingredients - fresh vegetables (I only recognized lettuce & tomatoes but there were many other "unknown" types) and, in this case, fresh, raw seafood (shrimp, squid & fish) are served on the side - normally also with pre-cooked wheat noodles. The female(s) @ the table prepare the food by shredding, breaking up vegetables, and putting them & seafood all into the "hot pot". - where they simmer until cooked & are then served (of course - by the females) in small bowls.
