Cafe Creperie Vietnamese Restaurant in Saigon
Vietnamese cuisine is very diverse. The country has different cooking techniques which are used in the three parts, Northern, Central and Southern. Each area has its own specialties and uses a different technique for the preparations. The difference is very subtle, for a novice it would not always be possible to pinpoint the origin of the food. Basically, Northern Vietnam has been poorer than Central or Southern Vietnam, so cooking is simple and light and generously uses soy sauce. Stirfry preparations are common here. Southern Vietnamese cooking uses vegetables, fish, seafood and herbs and has a lot of French influence. But the most unique is the Central Vietnamese cooking, it is very spicy and colorful, influenced as it had been with the cooking style of Vietnamese royal kitchen. Many side dishes are prepared and brought to the table. Actually the side dishes were a symbol of wealth, the more number of side dishes, the more wealthy the family was. You can dine in several up-market Vietnamese restaurants to sample the exotics. But for a simple and quick bite, have something in Café Creperie Restaurant, Saigon - Ho Chi Minh City.
