This was in the middle of nowhere at the countryside, on a big road leading to the south of the island. There was no one, don’t know why the hawker was there.
Banh Bao - steamed pork bao
And a small quail egg and some vegetables besides mince pork. Filling the stomach and delicious.

We read that this type of rice paper pizza was a hit snack that got trendy recently. We tried once, was good.

So many good things there, but fish sauce is banned on plane. Some countries you could ship, check with the post office. We didn’t buy any in Vietnam, we had to eventually go to Hong Kong to buy the VN fish sauce available in HK, not many choice.
My whole story here:
This place Hung Thinh was on the list of fish sauce fabrication place that one could visit.
We just went in…saw nobody, the smell was really strong, but bearable. Floor was very wet.
A few minutes later, somebody came out and chase us away, obvious they didn’t authorise visits.
We stole a few shots, I find the place authentic.
