Vietnam Pepper

While in Vietnam this summer I noticed that their were two main peppers used in their food. The first one is the Birds Eye Hot Pepper. The second one, I have never seen online for sale anywhere.

It seems that most of the South East Asian countries have similiar peppers. In Thailand, there is the Goats Horn (similiar to Cayenne), and the Birds Eye (Small Upright Growing) Peppers.

However, in Vietnam they have a pepper that is 3-4" long, about the same diameter as a Serrano, but the skin and walls are different. The pepper does not have that many seeds, and is typically harvested when Yellow, Orange, or Red. It is mainly put into the Pho (Noodle Soup).

I brought back (shame on me) 4 seeds with me, and lucky me all four seeds sprouted. I am in the process of getting these to the point where I can get some more seeds from them.

Has anyone had any experience growing this pepper? If so, do you have any spare seeds in case mine do not make it to the pod/seeding stage?
