There are so many new food/coffee shops opening around Vo Van Tan and Cao Thang Sts in District 3 these days that it’s hard to keep up with them. But in the interests of my stomach I keep trying to update constantly. The Bean Store is yet another new one, clean, quiet, sensible background music,nice decor, friendly staff, great menu, good food, reasonable prices, what more need I say?? Give it a try!
The Bean Shop
Just last week, Tous les Jours, a Korean based French pastry chain opened a new outlet just a few hundred metres from our house. This is very dangerous to a healthy lifestyle and trim waistline, but very handy for a quick treat also.
At least I had an attractive table decoration to admire while my cappuccino got cold (previous article).
Table decoration
To the uninitiated this may not look all that appetising, however, this is one of my favourite things to eat. It’s xoi ga, or sticky rice and chicken. In this version the chicken is mixed with mushroom, tiny shrimps and a quail egg and encased in the sticky rice which in turn is wrapped in a leaf and cooked in a steamer. I prefer to eat this with a dash of soy sauce, preferably mixed with chili and garlic. Yum. If eaten for breakfast this will “stick to your ribs” all day.
Whoever would have thought it, hot dogs as “Love” food.

… and delivered to my door every morning
What could be better than fresh crisp white bread delivered to your door every morning, still piping hot from the oven. I don’t think anything compares, it’s totally awesome.
Every morning the deliverers of this breakfast treat ride their bicycles up and down each hem loudly chanting, “Banh mi day, banh mi nong!” A friendly smile accompanies every loaf. Then its time to sit down, cut the loaf, spread some butter and Vegemite (I am an Aussie after all), and enjoy with a home made steaming hot cappuccino.
Heaven on a stick!
