The catfish claypot was especially good, the serving large, and the quality of all the food was superb. They also had this very tasty red hot sauce that almost all Vietnamese restaurants seem to have. I was wondering if any fellow hounds out there had a recipe for this ubiquitous sauce?

The Pagolac chilli sauce is a little thinner, and tasts much more fresh, I think they must make it in house. does anyone know what I am talking about? and thanks for the homecooking board rec. artemis Sun Jul 02 17:54:25 -0700 2006 1723716 15533 delicious 1 1724257 nuc cham?
