Vietnamese Stories

It’s Niall again, and joining me in this episode is my wife, Adrie. We headed for brunch in Thao Dien to try the Oriental Snapper as recommended by Mischa Smith!

I had a chance to talk with the Manager there, and we shared our thoughts about Cocktails as well as the development of the F&&B Industry in the last few years. 

While we’ve been living in the city for years, this was a chance to experience Saigon from a completely new perspective.

In the episode, my friend Thinh and I tried Banh Beo together. We talked about how diverse it is between different regions.

In another solo episode, I share my experience of how I ended up living in Vietnam. Many people ask me why I chose to stay here, and I always say, “It’s complicated.” What was supposed to be a brief six-week stay has turned into nearly a decade of incredible experiences. 

Now let’s move to Vietnamese food! I’ll tell you what I eat in Vietnam and where to get them.
