🍽️ English in Real Life #04 Trying Mongolian Food with a Friend 🇻🇳 You: Wow, everything looks so good! What should I try first? 🇲🇳 Friend: You should try khuushuur. It's one of my favorite Mongolian dishes. 🇻🇳 You: Oh, this one? What's inside it? 🇲🇳 Friend: It's basically fried dough filled with minced meat, usually beef or mutton. 🇻🇳 You: So it's kind of like a fried dumpling? 🇲🇳 Friend: Yeah, pretty much! But it's bigger and the filling is quite juicy. 🇻🇳 You: Let me try it… Oh wow, it's really good! The outside is so crispy. 🇲🇳 Friend: Right? We eat it a lot in Mongolia, especially during Naadam Festival. 🇻🇳 You: What do you usually eat it with? Is there any sauce? 🇲🇳 Friend: Not really. We usually just eat it as it is, sometimes with salad or pickles. 🇻🇳 You: I like it! It's a little greasy, but the meat is really flavorful. 🇲🇳 Friend: Mongolian food has a lot of meat. We don't use as many spices as some other countries do. 🇻🇳 You: That's quite different from Vietnamese food. We use a lot of herbs and sauces. 🇲🇳 Friend: Really? You'll have to take me to a Vietnamese restaurant next time! 🇻🇳 You: Definitely! Next time, it's my turn to introduce you to Vietnamese food.
