While Korean, European, and Japanese buffets are popping up left and right, a major player in the culinary world suddenly turns back to a purely Vietnamese buffet with prices as low as 109K
Surely, the name Tân Hoa Cau buffet is already familiar to countless food connoisseurs in District 7. Amidst skyrocketing prices, Tân Hoa Cau not only fails to raise but actually slashes prices on a range of Vietnamese buffet options to a 'cheap as chips' level - ranging from 109 to 149 thousand dong.
So what's behind this seemingly 'reckless' move?

The untold story of 'The merchant of childhood memories at a hundred and something thousand'
Tân Hoa Cau – The Purveyor of Childhood Memories at a Hundred and Something Thousand
Much like what Tân Hoa Cau shares, that nowadays Vietnamese people are too open-minded, embracing too much, perhaps accustomed to lobster, tuna,... forgetting the taste of traditional grilled skewers, the homemade nem during Tet, the bánh ít, bánh bột lọc that we used to scrimp and save every last 500 dong to buy,... That action criticized as 'reckless' by Tân Hoa Cau, is simply to 'sell' back to people a glimpse of childhood, a bit of childhood nostalgia, of homeland at the price of a hundred and something thousand...

Starters with familiar hometown dishes
Firstly, Tân Hoa Cau's starter banquet typically includes Vietnamese specialties like nem, salads, rolls,... deeply rooted in Vietnamese essence that your childhood has at least once embraced. But there's no need to dwell too long on childhood nostalgia, because the skewer grill station will immediately transport you back to your youth.

Skewers that take us back to childhood memories
Under the food stalls set up like the old market pavilions, the colorful skewers grilling emit the inviting aroma of sauce. Who among us hasn't had a childhood to remember? Who hasn't felt excited by the smell of meat, the fragrant smell of corn, the smoky aroma in the late afternoon after school?

Recreating the scene of an old market...
Tân Hoa Cau takes you back to the nights of roadside food stalls, back to the days when you were just starting college, with friends gathered in a corner of the stall, nibbling on grilled chicken feet, discussing the great events of life. The aroma of chicken feet, the spicy taste of chili salt blend into an unfading memory…

Skewers of grilled food evoke memories of old winter nights...
Tân Hoa Cau urges us to recall the days of being fourteen or fifteen, tending to the buffalo, cutting grass, crossing canals to catch fish, walking to the end of the field to trap crabs, then skewering them and placing them on the glowing fire, biting into fish still fragrant with the smell of smoke while faces become smeared with black soot…
Tân Hoa Cau pulls us back to the days of digging potatoes, shelling corn, cutting green bananas, gathering together to string them into heavy strands, gathering firewood by the field, gathering forest kindling to make an evening meal…

'Recalling childhood' with grilled chicken feet and grilled fish
Tân Hoa Cau takes us deep into the abyss of memories, where the bustling alleyways hold onto mother's hand, grandmother's hand, wandering through fragrant stalls selling bánh ít, bánh bèo, greedily gazing at each dessert, wishing that someday we would have enough money to buy all those pastries…

The pastries that are inseparable from childhood...
Do any of us still remember those childhood memories, or have we forgotten?
Are those precious memories worth a hundred and something thousand, are they too expensive?

However, upon dining, you'll realize that with that amount of money, you can eat until you're bursting at the seams and still not exhaust all the exquisite dishes here.

The mornings holding hands with grandma, mom wandering through the market, the noon meals diving into ditches, the golden evenings fragrant with smoke, the smell of grilled corn, potatoes...
Go ahead, taste it, the flavors of yesteryears and those dishes now, do they still hold true to us like those old days or not?
