Last?Friday, 4 lucky Sauceheads joined Toan and myself for a food tour of Vietnamese Chinatown here in New York City. What prompted this good fortune? ?Well, we wanted to show our appreciation for the investments that this awesome group made to our Smallknot campaign back in August.
The itinerary for the night:
6:30 Meet at the Hong Kong Supermarket for a tour of traditional Vietnamese ingredients. ?If that sounds a bit odd to you (Hong Kong supermarket?Vietnamese ingredients) ? it should! ?While HK and Vietnam have little in common food-wise, here in the city, the HK Supermarket is where we go to find the best selection of Vietnamese goods.
7:00 Head over to Cong Ly for a sampling of some typical Vietnamese dishes, drinks, and desserts.
9:00 Grab a drink at nearby bar?Apoth?ke.??No relation to Vietnamese cuisine, but plenty of fun!
Check out the photos below.

And of course?.fish sauce! ?The orange bottle below comes from the same island (Ph? Qu?c)?that the Saucey Sauce Co. imports its fish sauce from.

After the tour, we headed over to Cong Ly ? where Toan often goes to have an authentic Vietnamese meal.

A popular drink in Vietnam with sweet basil seeds. ?Or as Toan joked ? tiny tadpoles!

?
?
?
?
?
?
?
And some Ch? to end on a sweet note! ?Ch??is a traditional ice dessert popular in Vietnam and other parts of South East Asia. ?Some variations contain coconut milk, beans, and agar jellies.

And before the night was over, we sat down for a tasty hand crafted cocktail.
