《English Translation》

刘娜: 小潘, what do you think are the differences between Vietnamese and Chinese food?
小潘: Vietnamese food uses a lot of fish sauce and herbs, while Chinese food uses more soy sauce and Sichuan pepper.
刘娜: Oh, Sichuan cuisine in China really likes Sichuan pepper. Does Vietnamese food use a lot of spicy ingredients too?
小潘: Some dishes have spicy ingredients, like beef noodle soup. But most dishes are lighter in flavor.
刘娜: What staple foods do you usually eat? Rice?
小潘: Yes, rice is the most common, and also rice noodles and a long type of bread.
刘娜: A long type of bread? Where is it from?
小潘: It came from France. The French brought it in the past, and now we eat it often.
刘娜: Do you usually eat together as a family?
小潘: Yes, we eat together. Everyone puts the dishes in the middle of the table and shares—it's very lively.
