Vietnam

The Vietnamese are truly passionate about their food. The time of the day is identified by the food you are eating rather than the watch on your wrist! Eating is indeed a coveted & high priority in every Vietnamese life, young or old, rich or poor, we always find time to stop & eat, sampling the same flavours & healthy nourishment that our ancestors have enjoyed for centuries.

Despite periods of Chinese domination & French Colonial rule, Vietnam has managed to retain its own distinct cuisine, & once tried will always be remembered.

Ask any traveller or tourist who has dined in Vietnam, but make sure you do not have a plane to catch, they will hold you for hours as they tell their own fascinating tales of Vietnamese cuisine.

The fertile deltas deliver the rice & the country's long coastline with the sea provides plentiful fish and seafood of many exciting varieties. In addition, Vietnam is blessed with a tropical climate which means an abundance of exotic fruit & vegetable is available all the year round.

Pork, Beef, & Chicken are never too far away and often stir fried to perfection with bamboo shoot, bean sprout or similar seasonal vegetables.

Spring onion, ginger, shallot, lemon grass and optional garlic compliment the meal, combined with the always present fish sauce to provide the heavenly flavours that we so much envy from South East Asia.

Local dishes & specialities are regional - North, South, & Central! Pho, a rich Beef broth, has become the nation’s favourite dish & can be found anywhere any time of day or night.

Visit Hanoi, Hue, or Ho Chi Minh and wherever you are, you are only minutes away from exotic, exciting, but healthy food!

From my kitchen to your table, I bring you these aromas & flavours from the streets of Vietnam. You will fall in love forever with some of my dishes, maybe at the same time booking your next holiday to my wonderful country & beautiful people, you will always be made very welcome!

Vietnamese Cuisine

Most of us will recognise the main ingredients of vegetables, meat, fish, rice, and sauce in a typical Vietnamese dish.

While some of the content is unfamiliar to the Western eyes, the real difference is in preparation and methodology of cooking.

Cereal, noodle, poultry, fish, and a plethora of vegetables are diced, shredded, or thinly sliced and cooked very quickly by a method known as “stir- fry”.

It's a really simple and fast way to cook an exciting family meal in a very short time.

This method avoids losing the nutrition as a result of overcooking, retaining juices, texture, and flavours that are otherwise lost.

The “stir-fry” is often almost “dry” with only a small amount of cooking oil involved, contributing to a healthy way of eating, whilst at the same time generating mouthwatering flavours.

The historic makeup of the “stir-fry” is biased towards vegetables, rice, and noodles minimizing the meat content thus providing a healthy but tasty alternative to Western cooking.

Fresh Produce

In order to serve a healthy food, you need fresh & well chosen produce.

Once you have made your choice of menu & decided upon the size of party, we will begin the planning & procurement procedure.

We take each party individually & shop only for you, normally on the day prior to the party.

Only the finest & freshest produce is selected & only enough to meet our immediate needs - your party!

Procurement, preparation, & providing are the Three P's we work to & endeavour to complete all three functions within 48 hours, at the latest 72 hours depending on the size of party.

Our vegetables are very often locally grown to a high standard taking the shortest routes from soil to kitchen & not sitting around wilting on a wholesalers shelf!

Our meats are of the highest quality & provided exclusively by the very reputable Butcher Boy of Paphos.

Our flavours, indeed our reputation, depend on fresh good quality produce & we are confident that you & your guests will always be able to taste the difference!
