Mi Vit Kim Cham (Dry Noodle with Roast Duck, Lily Buds, & Bamboo Shoots)
This is a special collaboration between mom and me. Before you scream out loud, “Damn! Donny can cook,” can you figure out which portion I made by looking at this yummy dish? Yes, you got it. It’s the instant noodle part. I am wonderful cook, am I not? You don’t need me to tell you how to make that, do you?
The best portion of this dish is the Roast Duck with Lily Buds and Bamboo Shoots, which prepared by mom. My favorite part is the Lily Buds which have a light sweet and a pleasant tang that enhances the flavor of my noodle greatly. This is by far one of the most fancy instant noodle dishes I ever had. Mom, you’re still the best.
Donny,you’re very lucky to have awesome family members who love to cook all the fancy and traditional or untraditional foods.I really envy you man !!
Most of a foods you post here i don’t know and can’t find in most of Vietnamese restaurant in North America (may be in Orange county, California)Well,you and your mom should come up with the real vietnamese cook book..most of VNmese cook book in American language out in a market are very western style, some time you can not even recognize it.isn’t Vietnamse or American foods ? .Since your mom knows so much southern vietnamese foods and you have language skill…the only missing here is good photographer and food designer.A most important thing is you guys love foods and enjoy to cook our foods. why not !!go for it..Donny.I will be your first customer .Just look this way.. you will do a next generations a huge favour by introducted them in a really Vietnamse foods and our food wide range varieties,exotic and colourful.
You don’t want our kids (my kids) to think our food so simple and little choices such as Pho, Mi, Bun and Com etc.. as a restaurant offers.
Hey,Anh Trung if you believe in my ideal.. say something.I know you are better to explaining thing than i do.
P.S for your mom dearest.

Hoang, thanks so much for your compliments. I’ll tell my mom your words. What a great idea. Wouldn’t it wonderful to maintain our rare and truest Vietnamese dishes? I would love to do something like this but I don’t think I am capable of doing it. I keep your thoughts in mind though.
Yummy .. yummy .. Just out of curiosity, are you consider “hẹ or ‘rau hẹ’” (Allium odorum – China Chive) for this dish? I always ha-to-have “hẹ” with noddles, especially with this special Roast Duck Noddles that you post here.
Of course, he will make a big different too but letucce is the only veggie I had at that time.
Good decorational looking dish. Too bad I can’t taste it! Well done Donny! And keep up the good work. You may become a good chef someday!
Hoang, that’s good observation. Yeah!!!Our overseas Vietnamese should push it forward to do a TV cooking show or some thin’ [maybe Donny will give it a start! huh? Check this out: The show slogan will be "If Donny can cook so can you!" ...kha kha kha... [I just copy from the Yang Chinaman chef] rather just keep opening bunch of fast food restaurants.
Oh! I like He. (China chive) too!
The slogan should be “If Donny can cook, it’s the end of the world.”
Actually, I always want to partner up with my uncle #9, who can cook really well (many of his dishes featured on this site). We always talk about opening a Vietnamese restaurant with real authentic taste instead of those Com Son and Pho junks. However, we only been talking since he’s a programmer and I am designer. Opening up a restaurant is a huge challange for us.
I think if your uncle and you open a restaurant…then it will be a kickass! Where can you find a two restaurant chefs; one is a programmer and another is a designer? To me, it’s a perfect combination. You know…your uncle will program it much more efficient way in operation , management, and all…And you will enlighten the place and people through your designing skill…I would invest my money in you guys with one condition; I have to taste your foods first…kha kha kha….
Trung, you can taste the food any time buddy. You’re our special customer, no charge for ya :)
Thank you for the special hospitality giving to me…That will cost me at least $700 for a round trip to NY…to taste your foods…kha kha kha…
