i was going back and forth between two menu items, the ca moi (sardine, cucumber, cilantro, jalapeño, black pepper onion vinaigrette, and maggi sauce), or the less expensive trung op-la (sunny side-up eggs, carmelized onions, cucumber, cilantro, pickled carrot & daikon radish, jalapeño, and maggi sauce again). i was feeling adventurous and wanted to try the sardine, but i asked the woman at the counter for her recommendation and she pushed me toward the egg without a second's hesitation. i figure when an employee tries to talk you into the cheapest thing on the menu, you should probably listen.
