Not sure what we were eating





My guess was this was mung bean soup. It was served at the end of our meal and the cook was adamant that we finished eating it.

We had no clue what this fruit was. Inside there were juicy white pieces. I now know that it is called a Mangosteen. 

Another mystery fruit. It was served over dry ice as dessert at Da dong. It is called a Lychee.
