    Vietnamese spring rolls all the way! I love how in some restaurants they come with lettuce, which I was taught to wrap the roll in, and then are supposed to be dipped in the delicious dip. I don't actually know what it's called, but it's bright red and has the consistency of water. Is it vinegar? But nonetheless, Vietnamese spring rolls are the best!

    I like the spring rolls better...they are healthier...
    and eggrolls are more like a normal snack to me...
    i only eat springrolls occasionally...
    when im at home i make em sometimes.....
    but the sauce is too bloody hard to make :(

    Hahaha...no lar...i know u can buy the fish sauce everywhere but then u have to add the sugar, lemon, garlic and peppers...and i never know the right amounts so i almost mess up...
    so every time i make those rolls for ppl at home they always end up eating the rolls with the sauce i created -sorc

    never tried the vietnamese roll before...but it so looks like our malaysia popiah except for the skin...the semi transparent skin used for 'hagau' in dim sum?

    malaysia popiah: fillings consist of shrimp, shredded egg, beancurd, bean sprout, lettuce, and a layer of chili sauce on the surface...

    I prefer Vietnamese Spring Rolls cuz it's less dry. It has some sort of "freshness". I don't really know how to describe it. ^_^;
