8.00 I'd been awake for ages because of the horrendous wind that was rocking the van all night. I stepped outside to take a stretch and obtain a better look at the weather - overcast, rainy and very windy. I saw a ranger winding his way along the snake like road and pull into the car park beside us. The large Maori figure wound …

Our meal that night was so good that we decided to come back for breakfast the next day. After an amazing breakfast we knew that we had found our spot and we kept coming back every day. The service was always friendly and each meal was fresh and delicious. The owners were an older couple who would come out and ask us how our food was and smile at how many dishes were on our table. In Vietnam, It's best to share everything so you can try lots of different dishes. The owner's lovely daughter was the lead waitress and she and her two cute friends are the staff. We stayed in Cat Ba a full week and ate every meal at Phuong Phuong except one dinner and after that dinner we wished that we had eaten at Phuong Phuong. The food was the perfect fuel that we needed for long days of rock climbing. Our favorite dinner dishes were: Steamed spinach with garlic Vegetarian spring rolls Tofu with tomato sauce Vegetarian fried rice with egg Mixed vegetable fried rice with shrimp Fried noodles with squid Steamed tuna with garlic Fried potato with garlic For breakfast we tried: Seasonal fruit with yogurt and toast (freshly prepared fruit!) Pineapple pancakes Mango pancakes Pineapple / yogurt shake Mango / yogurt shake Tomato and egg omelette The pancakes are prepared with fruit and eggs, without syrup. Not fluffy but flat. They were great! On our last night we ordered the Horseshoe Crab. This was a perfect way to end our trip. The crab was prepared both as a soup and served with local herbs and spices on a plate and it was delicious. Phuong Phuong is not only one of my favorite restaurants in Vietnam, but one of my favorite restaurants in the world!
