When you think about this, it's amazing that this is a national dish. A fried egg in terrible oil. Some ground meat pork or beef or whatever tossed around with basil leaves in blazing hot oil with fish sauce and other sauces thrown haphazardly and continue to toss the mess around. A regulation western sliced lettuce and tomato, plop the fried egg on top of a perfectly formed scoop of rice and there you go - national dish and worthy of an editorial and previous news stories about the army canteen.

Even when trying to make it sound bad, it sounds delicious.
