Our Food Choices at Barbecue Garden Quan Nuong - Vietnam

The most awaited part of "restaurant-hunting" is having to taste the food you have chosen. With hungry tummies waiting to be satisfied, we began looking at the menu and chose our meal for the night.

Please take note that the prices are up to the discretion of Barbecue Garden if they are going to change it as they see fit. The prices below are the prices during the time we dined in the restaurant. These can be a reference just in case you would like to try this restaurant.

This dish offers raw beef marinated in different spices, sauces and flavours. A perfect accompaniment to a bowl of white rice, of course after we cooked it on the grill. In the menu, it says that this is a family dish good for 3 to 4 persons. Actually when we ate, it seems just enough for two... I don't know if we were just too hungry or the taste was too irresistible to eat or this was just the restaurant's way to make you order more and more. =)

Well, of course we ordered some more... well... a whole lot more...

We were so engrossed in eating that I forgot to take a photo of this combo 3 dish. This was the dish to finish off and fully satisfy our tummies. Cooking the meat ourselves was part of the fun, with the hope that each meat you put on the grill will cook fast so that we can get it to our mouths as quickly as possible.

A quick photo at our meal before we cooked it.

This is the way we cook it, with oil dripping on the grill.

Just a word of advice, cooking on the grill can be a bit hazardous. Beware of oil splashing from time to time. If you are not used to this it can be a bit rough. But after awhile, you can get used to it and the rewards of that fleshy yummy goodness inside your mouth is well worth it! =)

Barbecue Garden Quan Nuong - Vietnam

On our third night after our tour we went "restaurant-hunting" once again. Walking is the best way to look around. We kept walking along the streets of Ho Chi Minh; truthfully, we felt we were really lost until we pass by an open air restaurant. It was really appealing at night with all the lights hanging among the trees and the laughter of people dining inside the restaurant. We got curious and checked out the place.

The relaxing ambiance combined with the aromas and music filling the air piqued our senses.

At first, albeit a little bit reluctant, we step through its entrance. The laughter and sounds of people talking were the first to greet our sense of hearing. Then comes the lights that delightfully greeted our sense of sight along with people dining, be it local or foreign which just goes to show how people patronized the place. Then along came the swift mixture of aromas mingling through the air whething our... by that time hungry tummies, thus our appetites.

We chose our seats with a tent hanging on our heads. Yes, I know, I'm a spoil sport right? You might say, it's an outdoor restaurant for crying out loud! Well, we were just making sure not to spoil our dinner instead of regretting when rain suddenly wants to pour its happy tears upon us! First rule, satisfy our tummies were the top priority! =)

Old fashioned lamps makes the place a little bit rustic too.

There's also one thing that might have attracted people specially tourists with hyper-active kids tagging along with them... is their indian-like tent play area. While daddies and mommies choose their dinner for the night, the kids can take some of their energy out in this area giving parents a little breathing space... if you know what I mean. ;)

This is one thing my child would really have loved playing in. But alas, this was the time when I didn't bring him along due to it being school days. But nevertheless, I would like to share this for those parents looking for some interactive fun for their children while at the same time having some great food.

For some of you who might be interested in this restaurant, I took a shot of their calling card. See photos below.

Enough of the place already, by now, you must want some insight on the food we ate. I'll bring you to that journey. Please check out my next blog on the the food we chose.
