Heart of palm

More homecooking in Saigon - fresh heart of palm, with water spinach and rice.

I was already a fan of canned heart of palm, but this was a whole other creature. Much firmer though not tough, a little fibrous, and with a rich, subtly sweet, slightly coconutty taste. Truly delicious.

Now I'm looking forward to trying South American style fresh heart of palm for comparison's sake...someday.
