Silent Garden Restaurant

This article is a special article on the food in central Vietnam. Before coming here, my biggest expectations for Vietnam were Vietnamese noodles, coffee, and rolls (non-fried vegetable rolls), especially Vietnamese noodles. There used to be a store next to my office, and I would go there every day for lunch. But I have to say that the most surprising thing was the Vietnamese sandwich bánh mì and the fried roll CHẢ GIÒ. The Vietnamese sandwich is conceptually the same as all sandwiches, with two slices of bread and fillings, and the main features are the ingredients of these two materials. At first glance, the bread is not very attractive, but very chewy, with a relatively crispy crust and a full airy feel inside. I guess it should be because the local temperature is relatively high, so the fermentation is relatively sufficient. This kind of bread is everywhere on the street, and you can buy it for one or two yuan. It is said that it was brought in during the early French colonization, so the locals also call it baguette. The fillings in the sandwich generally include pickles, lettuce, peppers, beef or pork, and occasionally eggs and cheese, as well as bay leaves and some sauce. After the good integration of the small talk inside, sandwiched in the crispy baguette, it is really happy [wow] I tried four different bahn mi in total, from the 70-year-old grandmother's shop at the street corner to the local famous snacks to the hotel restaurant, and I was not disappointed once! Vietnamese fried rolls (Figure 8) are more or less similar to our spring rolls in concept. The name cha gio is the transliteration of spring rolls, and in English, it can be collectively referred to as all Asian spring rolls. There is usually meat filling inside, but what makes it more delicious is the wrapping layer, instead of the general dough, it is actually rice paper woven with rice noodles. When fried, it will become a little bit, and the crispy taste is more obvious! Coffee can be said to be the most disappointing to me... Not to mention that I can't taste any beans. Other local flavors, whether it is salt coffee, egg coffee (Figure 3) or general milk coffee, are very choking, which is a bit difficult to appreciate. 【Figure 16】 In addition, the decoration of the restaurants is very good, and the atmosphere is full. Whether it is a small street shop or a relatively high-priced restaurant, it always makes people feel full of soul [eat melon] In contrast, a certain food desert is... Overall, in my limited observation, Vietnamese food is relatively heavy in carbohydrates, but the vegetables are very fresh, and eggs and dairy products are used less. It can be seen that it is a kind of cuisine that is very friendly to localized diet therapy and vegetarianism. No wonder it is so popular with European and American culture [eat melon] Figure 1 Silent Garden Figure 2 Unknown roadside shop Figure 3 Unknown roadside shop Figure 4 Dessert of a certain set The Sail Figure 5 Bahn mi phuong Super delicious sandwich Figure 6 @ Banana Split Cafe coffee brought to the local museum
