Vietnamese Garlic Noodles

I carpool to work with a Vietnamese gal and love talking to her about her culture and her food.  She was telling me about the Vietnamese garlic noodles that she made for her daughter's birthday and they sounded delicious.   This is how the conversation went:

Her:  "You melt the butter, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar and lots of garlic and then pour it over the cooked noodles.  Use lots of garlic."
Me:  "Yum."
Her:  "And then you top with parmesan cheese and parsley."
Me:  Cracking up...."you mean these are Italian Vietnamese noodles???"
Her:  Cracking up too...."I guess so, the cheese tastes really good on it!"

I love when cultures collide in foods!
