Lẩu Bò 69 [Beef Hot Pot 69] actually serves a lot more than beef. Outgrowing their small space, they bought a building across the street, which became their main seating area. Their waiters, then, have to constantly cross the street to go from kitchen to tables.

During my five months in Namibia, I had to content myself with these tiny mint leaves from my landlord's pitiful plants. I also plucked his wild grown hot peppers that even he, a spicy food loving Indian, hadn't even tried.
