Hey Inquisitive Foodies!

This is our first {Culture.licious Dining Club} Event!

This first of dining club event to “Discover the World, One Kitchen at a Time” will be with Minh showcasing her AUTHENTIC VIETNAMESE homemade dishes!

For those who have “experienced” Vietnamese food in restaurants… Well, this is quite different. You don’t just get the regular pho nor chicken cutlets and rice. This meal with Minh is to experience the delicious and tantalizing homemade dishes! For those who have not tried too many Vietnamese dishes. This is an eye opener!

What does it include?

Minh’s Southern Vietnamese Menu:

Bánh Pa Tê Sô - Vietnamese Puff Pastry Savory Meat Pies

Vietnamese Fresh Spring Rolls

Bun Goi Gia - Tamarind Sea Food Noodle Soup

Cassava Cake with Coffee

Beer with the appetizer

Puff pastry isn’t exactly among the first things that come to mind when you think of Vietnamese cuisine. But, like the baguette and coffee, Vietnamese has taken these items initially introduced by the French and have given them a Vietnamese makeover!

Fresh Spring Rolls are often found in Vietnamese restaurants. Minh's rolls are filled with fresh herbs and you’ll be making these rolls with her to see how it is made!

Instead of getting another bowl of pho from a restaurant, Minh wants to showcase the seafood noodle soup since Vietnam is abundant in seafood. This is also great for a cold winter day!

Background on Minh:

Minh was born in the southern part of Vietnam – Ho-Chi Minh City (aka Saigon).

The former name Saigon is still widely used by many Vietnamese, especially in informal contexts. Minh spent her childhood years under the communist party The Vietnamese People’s Army rule in the 80’s.

Minh came to Canada with the rest of family escaping the Communist regime. Minh learned her cooking from her mom, Mama Dang who is currently 81 years young. Mama Dang is also her best critique. As Minh describes her to be a “sharp taster”, but also an amazing cook who can turn a simple dish into the most yummy dish!

With the love to entertain and cook for family and friends, Minh invites you to try out her homemade dishes!
