Whether you’re from the North or the South, Aguirre Ave, with its endless parade of food establishments, is one of the most exciting streets for any foodie. And while there are lots of different cuisines from the East and the West to choose from, this authentic Vietnamese<\/a> hub is one you definitely shouldn’t miss!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Viet Asia offers diners is a taste of Vietnam without the hassle or expense of traveling outside of the country<\/strong>. The place is a vibrant and modern take of the noodle houses which are ubiquitous in the Southeast Asian country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the helm of the kitchen is Chef Hung Trang<\/strong>, who, upon graduating from the Professional Academy for Culinary Education (PACE<\/em>) in Para\u00f1aque, made it his personal mission to raise Vietnamese food in the Philippines to the same status enjoyed by other cuisines like Korean, Japanese, Italian, and Chinese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The origins of his passion for Vietnamese cuisine can be traced back to his childhood. Even then, he knew that the simple and satisfying taste of the food he grew up with was<\/strong> something worth sharing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Complex flavors and contrasting textures<\/strong> are the cornerstone of Vietnamese cuisine. Thanks to its prevalent use of fresh herbs, spices, vegetables, and lean protein – it’s also widely considered to be one of the healthy cuisines<\/strong> around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Healthy doesn’t mean bland – Vietnamese food certainly isn’t. Influenced by its French colonial past and the country’s bordering lands (China, Laos, Cambodia, and Thailand), Vietnamese cuisine is an exciting fusion of flavors<\/strong> that are simultaneously simple and robust. Take Viet Asia’s bestsellers:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pork B\u00e1nh M\u00ec<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The b\u00e1nh m\u00ec<\/em> is probably one of the best things to come out of French occupation in Vietnam. Here, g<\/em>rilled pork tenderloin is served on hot and flaky French bread, smeared with sriracha mayo and topped with cucumber, pickled carrots and daikon, and cilantro.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vietnamese Iced Coffee<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
