The sound of Vietnamese food

Bò Bía (Vietnamese Spring Rolls with Chinese Sausage, Dried Shrimp, Eggs, and Jicama) with Hoisin Dipping Sauce with Chili and Crushed Peanuts

Bò bía are the Vietnamese spring rolls version of popiah (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popiah), a Hokkien-style spring roll popular in Singapore and Malaysia. (If you sound out bò bía with the proper Vietnamese accent marks, they both sound similar. This is not to be confused with bò (beef) and bia (beer) with no accent mark.) The fillings are slightly different and the Vietnamese version uses rice paper wrappers instead of wheat, but in both versions, the spring rolls are stuffed with shrimp and jicama. Hokkien cuisine hails from the Fujian province of China, and I can only assume that immigrants must have brought the recipe with them and then adapted it when they dispersed to Singapore, Malaysia, and Vietnam.

In the past, cutural exchange between southern Vietnam with Malaya was very significant. People from Malaya brought goods such as clothes, bags, fruits...to Vietnam and traded.
