\u0102n\u0103n – street food-themed restaurant in Saigon with fish sauce ice cream<\/h2>\n
\n

When it comes to Vietnamese food, many people may think of ph\u1edf<\/em>. In fact, Vietnamese cuisine is far more diverse than that.<\/p>\n

At \u0102n\u0103n Saigon<\/strong>, Chef Peter Cuong Franklin has taken it even further to make unconventional combinations of Vietnamese street food – such as fish sauce chocolate and fish sauce ice cream.<\/p>\n

\n

The menu is full of innovative Vietnamese dishes<\/h3>\n

\u0102n\u0103n (literally \u201ceat eat\u201d in Vietnamese) is a restaurant dedicated to innovating Vietnamese traditional dishes. <\/span>You can explore the chef\u2019s creative takes on Vietnamese cuisine through the menu<\/span>. <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>For instance, <\/span>b\u00e1nh m\u00ec<\/span><\/i>, a very common street food, is served with Wagyu beef here. <\/span>B\u00e1nh b\u1ed9t l\u1ecdc<\/span><\/i>, traditional Hu\u1ebf dumplings, come with foie gras, and Vietnamese spring rolls are stuffed with truffle mushrooms.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, what stands out from \u0102n\u0103n Saigon\u2019s menu is new versions of <\/span>ph\u1edf.<\/span><\/i> With one-bite<\/span> ph\u1edf, <\/span><\/i>the chef turns the traditional noodle soup into jelly balls. Plus, <\/span>the chef combines crispy <\/span>ph\u1edf <\/span><\/i>noodles, broth, and raw beef with ice cream to create <\/span>ph\u1edf <\/span><\/i>ice cream.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"With one-bite<\/span><\/em>ph\u1edf<\/span>, you can enjoy the flavours of broth, truffle, and basil at once.<\/span>

Compared to the mentioned dishes, \u0102n\u0103n’s desserts featuring Vietnamese fish sauce, or <\/span>n\u01b0\u1edbc m\u1eafm<\/span><\/i>, aren\u2019t less groundbreaking. For chocolate lovers, try <\/span>fish sauce bon bon<\/span>, a box of six chocolate balls made from cacao in<\/span> B\u00e0 R\u1ecba-V\u0169ng T\u00e0u, B\u1ebfn Tre, and Ti\u1ec1n Giang <\/span>gently mixed with the unmistakable umami flavour of fish sauce.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also, the new signature <\/span>fish sauce ice cream\u2018s<\/span> worth a try. For this dessert, a scoop of vanilla is decorated with some caramel and<\/span> Ph\u00fa Qu\u1ed1c red peppers<\/span>. Before enjoying this dish, you should spray fish sauce all over <\/span>it to mix the umami flavour with those of other ingredients. <\/span><\/p>\n
