Saigon's Distinctive Four-Dish Vietnamese Feast
Also known as a bento crafted for Vietnamese connoisseurs, this newly emerged meal is charming even the most discerning palates, making a lasting impression on foreign visitors. Situated on Vo Van Tan Street, District 3, some playfully refer to it as the 'sophisticated meal,' offering three menus representing Saigon, Hanoi, and Can Tho.
The dishes are neatly arranged and visually appealing in ceramic Bát Tràng bento boxes, always kept warm when served. Encased in skillfully woven palm leaves, the presentation retains the refined essence of the East.
Each meal includes 4 savory dishes paired with rice. If you choose the Saigon bento, you'll indulge in the savory caramelized pork, with each tender and fragrant piece, garlic-infused choy sum, stir-fried tiger prawns with onions, and a vegetable soup with minced meat...
Can Tho Bento features braised snakehead fish, savory marinated young ribs, sour soup with snakehead fish, and water lily buds stir-fried with garlic. For food enthusiasts, this is a perfect menu for a lunch craving a change in Saigon.
Finally, the Hanoi rice box includes northern specialties like boiled country chicken with lime leaves, blind goby fish braised with galangal, sponge gourd stir-fried with garlic, and red jellyfish soup.
Looking deceivingly small, the portion is surprisingly generous. Only the hearty eaters can finish the meal entirely, while those with smaller appetites may manage around 70% due to the abundance of each dish. After the satisfying feast, you can indulge in a three-colored dessert cup and enjoy a cup of tea. Amidst the serene atmosphere, you'll find contentment with your meal. The price for this bento is 99,000 VND.
