Unlike many restaurants and food stalls focusing on <\/span>dim sum<\/span><\/i>, An Duy\u00ean is a remarkable restaurant where you can have delicious Vietnamese-Chinese meals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Located near Tr\u1ea7n H\u01b0ng \u0110\u1ea1o Street, one of the main streets connecting Cholon and downtown Saigon, An Duy\u00ean is an ideal place for friends and families to get together and enjoy more than 100 dishes and drinks, from stir-fried sea cucumber with shiitake mushrooms to steamed grilled pork in Hakka style.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a Teochew born and raised in Cholon, Tr\u01b0\u1eddng, the founder of this restaurant, doesn\u2019t want to replicate the original tastes of these dishes like how the Chinese cook them. Instead, in an interview with <\/span>Thanh Ni\u00ean<\/span><\/i><\/a>, he said that he wants his food to be a combination of Chinese cuisine and Vietnamese tastes. In fact, the cuisine in Cholon is also influenced by Indian and Javanese tastes.<\/span><\/p>\n

In fact, Cholon has five main Chinese ethnic groups, namely Cantonese, Teochew, Hokkien, Hakka, and Hainanese. Apart from that, there are also some Vietnamese and a small number of Indian residents. This multicultural essence is very much reflected in how foods are cooked in Cholon.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nApart from meals, An Duyen is also famous for its breakfast treats such as kaya toast, chicken floss bread, soft boiled eggs, Hainanese coffee, and Javanese milk tea.<\/span>

The whole space is cozy and intimate as it is soaked in red and yellow light. In fact, you may spot lots of details reminding you of Cholon or Hong Kong in the 1960s: brick walls, red lanterns, green chairs, metal folding doors, jalousie windows, and lots of old movie posters on the walls.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Additionally, as soon as you enter An Duy\u00ean, you will catch sight of the counter decorated to look like a small Chinese food stall commonly found in Cholon in the past century. All of these contribute to the unique nostalgic vibes of this restaurant.<\/span><\/p>\n
