Vietnamese food is kind of under rated in this country. It’s definitely more than pho and spring rolls!
I agree! Check out the menu at Le Meridien, the Saigon Chefs will be doing a lot more, for sure;)
Such pretty Vietnamese waitresses! Ditto what Brother B said. 🙂
LOL, pretty indeed!
ooooh, i’ve had dinner at the sheraton saigon! i remember trying some of these items there (the spring rolls and the bo la lot). can testify that they were scrumptious!!! 😀
Really? Lucky you. I’ve been to Saigon but never had the pleasure of eating at Sheraton!!
wah you even have video! professional nyaaa
Of course! :p
Looks tasty! I loved the food when I visited Vietnam. And this looks super high-end 🙂
not that high end.. but super tasty yes!
pity the promo so short…i was going to use my latest recipe voucher for this….
I was looking at a wedding venue at this resort called Grand Velas in Mexico. They recently just had a food blogger meet up. Your photos reminded me of their flickr collection. Big chief making food and other people watch and take photos. Look like a great event there.
