PHC Top 3 Contest | Comfort Food | First Entry

This is my first submission to PHC Top 3 Contest!
And I sure hope I got it right.

![More than a look.png](https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/ireenchew/KKNqtUyF-More20than20a20look.png)

Ever since I came to this country, I have found various comfort food for the locals here and somewhat it has also become my own version of comfort food.

**No #1**
*Deep fried Vietnamese Spring Roll*
In most situation, it's the fresh spring roll that is most preferred since it's much more healthier. When I first arrived, I only ate the deep fried ones but eventually I learned to appreciate the fresh spring rolls. It is after all so much more easier to wrap and faster too.

**No #2**
*Pho or Vietnamese Beef Noodle*
This is an all time favourite and easy to find. Affordable and fast too. Cost only about VND35,000 = USD 1.51 a bowl and it's one perfect meal for me. I usually have a bowl after my Saturday visit to the local market. This bowl is enough to last me until 2PM in the afternoon.

**No #3**
*Cantonese Wan Tan Noodles*
This is home comfort food for me which I doubt I would be able to find unless I go to a Chinese Restaurant in Vietnam. Something that we take for granted back home but when I'm here, this is a true blessing if we can find it.

All these 3 are just my version of comfort food. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

There's so much delicious food in Asian cuisine.
Never fails to amaze me and I'm always finding new asian dishes to try :)

Hey hey @ireenchew, thanks a lot for entering your first Top 3 contest, hopefully we can entice you to enter more now you have a "taste" for it :P

Love the choices here, spring rolls are always a favourite of mine when I have Asian food and have had many noodle dishes before but not those you mentioned which means I'm going to have to fly over to where you are and give them a go too haha!

Good luck in the contest!

Hiyee @nickyhavey..
Thanks so much for dropping over. I'm so glad to join.. I don't know why I never did in the past.
Must've been too caught up with everything.

You must come to Vietnam.. Both spring roll & Pho is truly a comfort for all in this nation.
But for Cantonese Wan Tan noodles is from my home country in Malaysia.

Thanks for these awesome suggestions for our contest this month! We've given you an upvote and logged your nominations, ready for the dpoll - keep an eye on our blog for the dpoll post!

Set your post payout to 50/50. You keep the SP and then transfer the STEEM and/or SBD (whichever is paid out at the time) to @phctop3 with a link to your blog post entry in the transfer memo. This is the minimum entry fee, <b>but you can add as much as you like to it!</b> The more you add, the more you can win.There is no maximum entry fee.

Not sure how to find your post payout?  Look in your Steem Wallet under Author Rewards to find the exact payout for your post.  In the example below you would send the 0.014 SBD and 6.587 STEEM over to the @phctop3 account as your entry fee.  We’ll take it from there and convert all of the prize pool to SBD for easy prize distribution at the end of the month!

## We are also currently transitioning to a new account @yourtop3 for some exciting changes ahead!  Make sure to give us a follow and adjust your delegation as needed to make sure not to miss out on the latest announcements!

Thanks so much for joining us for your first round with the contest!  It was a true joy to see your entries.  We wish you good luck in the dpoll!

Awesome!! So excited to see you join this round! Food is always such a fun one, and totally universal in our joy. It's so neat to see what people find comfort in all around the world. Though I think many of these will have widespread appeal, too. Some really great choices. Thanks again for putting in an entry!

Absolutely my pleasure and I wanted to try other group posting and contest..
Yeah.. comfort food is what we need, even if we deny it because it's just too simple

Great entry! One of the things I have enjoyed most about this month's contest is seeing the variety of food that people eat world wide, and the types of foods that I would not really consider. This one is making me hungry!

Awesome! Thanks for sending over your entry fee, just letting you know that I've added you in with your nominations now!

Good luck and keep your eyes peeled for the upcoming dpoll between 16th - 18th where we put it to the public vote and let the Steem community decide their top 3 :)
