The last few years has seen a resurgence in South Asian cultures and cuisines, owing to the impact of globalization and easy accessibility.
Vietnamese food has particularly been gaining popularity amongst the food lovers, thanks to the country’s distinctive approach to eating habits.
Brushing aside the commonly known fact that the Vietnamese love their noodles and spring rolls, they are also considered one of the healthiest cuisines in the world.
With geography playing a huge role in the diversity and variety in the Vietnamese culture, theirs is a cuisine that is heavily influenced by the neighbouring China and France from the colonial years.
Vietnamese cuisine traditionally features a combination of five fundamental taste "elements": spicy (metal), sour (wood), bitter (fire), salty (water) and sweet (earth).
Common ingredients used include black pepper, hot chili, fermented fish sauce, coconut milk, limes, lemon grass, tamarind and cane sugar, supplemented by asparagus and potato, courtesy the French impact.
A delicious mix of the food of its colonial visitors and age-old native flavours and techniques, the Vietnamese cuisine wins all the points for simplicity in a meal.
This month, let the Chefs at ITC Windsor balance it out for you as they whisk you to the paradise of comfort food that is this Southeast Asian country.
On the menu will be traditional dishes like Banh Mi Thit or Vietnamese Grilled Pork Rolls, Bo Kho or Beef Stew, Goi Cuon or the famous Vietnamese Summer Rolls, Banh Xeo or sizzling savoury pancake, Vietnamese Pho or noodle soup, Cha Ca or Turmeric fish with noodles and Nom Hua Chuoi or banana flower salad to name a few.
For the ones with a sweet tooth, they can indulge in desserts like Chè Chuối or Banana with sago pearls in coconut milk, Chè Trôi Nước or sticky rice balls in ginger syrup, Bánh Dau Xanh or Mung bean pastry, etc.
