Saigon Streets to My Kitchen

I was born and raised in Saigon. My soul is intertwined with the vibrant street food culture that thrives in every corner. I miss walking down the street to buy groceries daily, grabbing late-night snacks from the food stands open until 2 am with friends, and eating a hot bowl of soup on a rainy, humid afternoon; there are so many more memories that I want to recreate. YES, I want to re-create the Saigon's flavors. My husband and the kiddos often hear me shout, "This is it! The flavor is from that house where my dad took me for breakfast" (breakfast/dinner places are served in front of somebody's house). Cooking has become my canvas. With each dish, my passion for Vietnamese food blossoms, nurtured by the cherished recipes of my homeland.

This blog is more than just a collection of recipes—it’s a community where we can share, interact, and grow. Whether you want cooking tips, tricks, or just a sprinkle of inspiration, I’m here. Even my mom, a traditional Vietnamese cook, turns to me for advice now and then! :) Welcome to my blog—where every recipe tells a story, and every bite feels like home.
