Happy Halloween folks!

Enjoy this spooky season right at the heart of Hanoi. When thinking about Halloween, our minds will pop up images of meals based on pumpkins and various kinds of candies. With The East, we introduce our magical taste of Vietnam that will definitely amazingly “haunt” even the most demanding palates!

Tết Trung Thu, also known as the Mid-autumn Festival, is celebrated in Vietnam as the "Children's Festival." It typically falls on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, usually in September or early October when the moon is at its fullest and brightest. This year, the Mid-autumn Festival will be held on September 29th.

Throughout North and South Vietnam, various regions have their own unique customs and materials used to celebrate the festival. However, certain elements are essential, such as mooncakes, lanterns, and lion dances. In Hanoi, the city comes alive with vibrant colors and an infectious sense of joy as streets are adorned with colorful lanterns of various shapes and sizes. Let us explore the significance of these essential components.

Lanterns
The tradition of hanging lanterns during the Mid-Autumn Festival originates from the story of "Ngưu Lang and Chức Nữ," two lovers separated by the Milky Way. Every year on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month, angels descend to Earth to help the two lovers reunite. To guide Ngưu Lang and Chức Nữ, the angels bring brightly lit lanterns to symbolize their love. Lanterns not only represent light but also signify the connection between humans and nature, as well as the spiritual. They also symbolize family bonding and love among family members.

Mooncakes
Mooncakes have their origins in Chinese history, closely tied to the uprising of Chu Yuan-Chang and Liu Po-Wen. However, when they were introduced to Vietnam, mooncakes became a traditional pastry associated with the Mid-Autumn Festival, carrying significant meaning. Traditional mooncakes come in both sticky and baked varieties, with two common shapes: round and square. Each type of mooncake carries a different symbolism. Sticky mooncakes symbolize the full moon of the eighth month and represent togetherness and the happiness of family bonds. Baked mooncakes signify endurance and resilience, as they endure the presence of loved ones despite the challenges and hardships in the outside world. Baked mooncakes often come with a wide variety of savory and sweet fillings. Round-shaped mooncakes symbolize the full and abundant moon, representing the desire for completeness and abundance in life, while square mooncakes represent the land and the human longing for freedom and happiness, as seen in the traditional Chung Cake.

To blend yourself in the Tết Trung Thu festive atmosphere, visit Hang Ma Street in the Old Town, where the entire street is lit with lanterns. Not far from there, you can find mooncake stalls on every corner.

HAPPY MID-AUTUMN FESTIVAL!

Hà Nội đón thu, đón bao nhiêu thức quà mà người Việt luôn mong ngóng.

Đầu tiên phải kể đến cốm, những gánh cốm chở mùa thu Hà Nội. Với nhiều người sinh ra và lớn lên hay sống lâu năm ở mảnh đất Hà Thành, họ xem cốm là cách đón thu tao nhã. Từ những hạt cốm dẻo thơm, người dân Hà Nội đã sáng tạo ra biết bao món ngon, mới lạ được nhiều người yêu thích và nhớ thương khi xa Hà Nội; từ bánh cốm, cốm vòng chấm chuối, xôi cốm.
Qua mùa sấu xanh rồi lại đến sấu chín. Nếu sấu xanh dùng để nấu canh, om vịt thì sấu chín lại mang vị ngọt nhẹ mà vẫn có vị sấu chua chua nơi đầu lưỡi. Món ăn phổ biến nhất từ sấu chín là sấu dầm hoặc đơn giản hơn chỉ cần gọt vỏ chấm muối là đủ. Hồng ngâm thực tế không được trồng ở Hà Nội, mà ở một vài tỉnh miền Bắc nhưng cứ đến mùa thu thì khắp nơi ở thủ đô đều có bán.

Chẳng cần phải ăn, Hà Nội cũng đã gây thương nhớ với mùi hoa sữa phảng phất trên những con đường chẳng riêng gì 36 phố phường. Bây giờ ai đến Hà Nội cũng cần check-in với những chiếc xe hoa trên phố Phan Đình Phùng, Thanh Niên hay dọc quanh Tây Hồ và ngắm lá vàng rơi.
Mới kể qua thế thôi mà đã thấy Hà Nội gây thương nhớ quá.

We cherish the beauty and eco-friendly benefits of linen. It not only exudes a natural elegance but also offers incredible durability and absorbency. The East chooses linen for a comfortable dining experience, and it reduces our environmental footprint. From our table napkins to our staff uniforms, all made with this beloved material by a small family business in Hoi An.

Có phải người Việt mình dùng cây chuối không bỏ thứ gì?
Does anyone know Vietnamese people use every part of a banana tree? (English below)

Những ngày mưa chuối không đậu quả, mình trộn gỏi hoa chuối. Lá thì dùng để gói bánh chưng, bánh tẻ nhiều loại lắm, lót đĩa trang trí, gói rau củ thân thiện môi trường, thân cây thì cắt cho bò cho heo, đến mùa lễ hội thân chuối cao còn được lăn dầu làm cột leo thi hội ở nhiều vùng quê. Trong miền Trung, người ta có món đặc sản gium biển nấu củ chuối mà.
The East cũng yêu lá chuối, ngoài để lót trang trí, anh đầu bếp còn làm ra món cá nướng lá chuối – Chao ôi nó ngon! Cá được ướp ít nhất 2 tiếng với riềng, mẻ, nghệ, tiêu Phú Quốc và chút mắm tôm rồi để miếng cá thấm gia vị trong ngăn mát tủ lạnh, sau đó anh đầu bếp khéo léo bọc từng miếng trong lá chuối, mang đi nướng trên than củi cho đến khi vừa chín tới. Món này chấm với mắm sả sa tế nhà làm thì còn gì bằng trong một ngày vào thu nhỉ?

On rainy days when bananas aren't bearing fruit, we make banana blossom salad. Banana leaves are used to wrap traditional cakes like "bánh chưng" and "bánh tẻ" of various kinds, they're used to line serving dishes for decoration, wrap eco-friendly vegetables, and the banana tree trunk is cut to feed cattle and pigs. During festival season, the tall banana trunk is even coated with oil and used as a climbing pole in many rural areas. In the Central region, they have special dishes using banana corm.
At The East, we are also fans of banana leaves. Besides using them for decoration, the head chef creates Grilled fish in banana leaves - it's really a wow! The fish fillet is marinated for at least 2 hours with galangal, lemongrass, turmeric, Phu Quoc pepper, and a bit of shrimp paste. The fish pieces are then allowed to absorb the flavors in the refrigerator's cool compartment. Afterward, wrap each piece in a banana leaf and grill them over charcoal until they're just cooked. This dish is best enjoyed with homemade saté sauce on a lovely autumn day, what more could one ask for?

Bún Thang Hà Nội – Thang noodles

Although traditional Hanoi "Bún Thang" originates from leftovers during Tet (Lunar New Year), repurposed into a hearty dish, this remains one of the delicacies showcasing the intricate nature of Hanoians. Some believe "thang" in the name refers to the "thang" (scale) used in traditional medicine, indicating the meticulous selection of ingredients and balanced seasoning, akin to prescribing northern medicinal herbs. Some simply said in Han character, "Thang" means soup. Therefore, "Bún Thang" can be understood as "vermicelli noodles served in soup."

Chef Nguyen Phuong Hai, a Hanoi native, explains that Hanoi's traditional "Bún Thang" consists of two main components. Firstly, the broth is crafted from dried shrimp heads, chicken bones, pork bone broth, and shiitake mushrooms. Secondly, the "thang" portion includes: thin vermicelli noodles, shredded chicken, minced pork floss, fluffy shrimp floss, thinly sliced omelette, shredded pork skin, salted eggs, coriander, belostomatid (cà cuống) essence, and dried peanut worm.
To start, the cook prepares the broth. A delectable broth is clear and naturally sweetened by the dried shrimp heads and chicken essence. Diligent households may also simmer pork bone broth to enhance the clarity. Mushrooms are a garnish, adding flavor without overpowering.
Next is the "thang" assembly. Thin vermicelli is soaked and stirred before arranging in the bowl. Subsequently, each ingredient is carefully layered over the noodles until the bowl is full, with the ingredients submerged in broth and a touch of shrimp sauce added.

Our chef- Hội has crafted a new rendition of Bún Thang, upholding the traditional cooking process and methods, while showcasing it with the delicacy of a temporary art work.

Mùa hoa thiên lý/ Tonkin creeper (Telosma cordata) season.

Thiên lý vào mùa anh bếp trưởng nhà mình thử món mới, anh gọi qua là món gỏi bò thiên lý. Bò nướng mềm thêm mùi khói, mùi gia vị đặc trưng của miền núi Tây Bắc, hoa thiên lý xanh mát bùi bùi, bắp cải thì giòn tan. Anh bếp kết hợp với sốt chanh dây cho nó hơi Tây mà vẫn Việt. The East chưa đặt tên cho món, mà chỉ biết là nó ngon và sẽ cho vào thực đơn mới mùa này thôi ạ.
----------
Tonkin creeper is in season now so our Chef created a new dish inspired by it. He hasn't named it yet, simply said “ salad” but we know it has more. The grilled tender beef is sparked from the West North spices, the original taste of the Tonkin creeper with the crunchy of fine sliced red and white cabbage. Passion fruit sauce is used for a well-combination of the East and the West. The dish hasn't had a name but we know it is delicious and will soon be on our seasonal set menu this summer end.

The East has been selected as one of the featured options in Marcus's Hanoi Odyssey Food Photography book. This remarkable publication captures the essence of Hanoi's culinary scene, from vibrant street food to upscale establishments like The East, through the lens of a professional camera and the eyes of a true Hanoi food and culture enthusiast.

The book showcases The East's delectable Lã Vọng Grilled Fish & Prawn and Pomelo Salad, highlighting the exquisite flavors and culinary expertise that make our dishes truly special.

He once kindly advised us "Stop complaining and eat something good and fresh".

Lotus seed & tropical fruit pannacotta was made just simply like that. The dish has not yet been officially added to our dessert menu so if you would like a taste of it, please inform us before your visit.

Ngoài bức của Hoàng Hậu Nam Phương thì hầu như tranh ở The East thường có Sen - Quốc hoa của Việt Nam mình.
Hôm nọ có bạn khách Việt nhắn nhủ The East là tranh đẹp, và The East cũng thường được khách nước ngoài hỏi về những bức tranh và ý nghĩa của nó. Sen mà, hội tụ đủ trong mình những ý nghĩa nhân sinh cao quý, ý nghĩa âm dương ngũ hành, ý nghĩa triết học, sự vươn dậy mạnh mẽ và một ý chí sống mãnh liệt của dân tộc Việt, và còn tượng trưng cho vẻ đẹp tâm hồn và thể hình của người phụ nữ.

Mùa cúc, mùa hoa loa kèn vừa đi, mùa Sen đến.

In addition to the portrait of Queen Nam Phuong, most of the paintings at The East usually feature the Lotus - the national flower of Vietnam. Recently, a Vietnamese guest sent a message saying that the paintings at The East are beautiful, and The East is often asked by foreign visitors about the paintings and their meanings. The lotus embodies noble human values, the principles of yin and yang, philosophical significance, the strong resilience and indomitable spirit of the Vietnamese people, and symbolizes the beauty of the soul and physique of women.

The season of chrysanthemums and trumpet flowers has passed, and the season of lotus has arrived.

𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐟𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞. 𝐖𝐡𝐲, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐦𝐚𝐲 𝐰𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 ?

According to our chef, this delightful gesture allows for meaningful engagement with our customers and possibly explains the various elements of a dish including its origins—such as the sourcing of the fish, vegetables, and other ingredients.

Meanwhile, the rest of us, with a touch of light-heartedness, the front-of-house staff enjoy a break during this time.

Hanoi has been experiencing some extreme temperatures ranging from 40-44 degrees Celsius over the past few days, which can make it quite unpleasant to live and explore the area. So, what's the easiest way to avoid this relentless heat?

One approach is to consume more salads and fresh ingredients, as opposed to heavy and deep-fried foods. For example, you could opt for Phở cuốn (fresh noodle sheet rolls) rather than Nem Rán (deep-fried spring rolls) to feel light and invigorated. Another tip is to avoid spicy foods that might only exacerbate the discomfort.

But perhaps most important of all, make sure to stay well hydrated and maybe even indulge in a cold beer (if you're of legal age, of course!). If not, look for refreshing smoothies and juices to quench your thirst.

And you know that at The East, we have a variety of delicious salads, ice-cold beers, and fresh juices to help you stay cool and hydrated this summer.

What did the world-well-known chefs say about Vietnamese cuisine?

Explores the views of famous chefs regarding Vietnamese cuisine with The East.

British chef Jamie Oliver showcased several Vietnamese dish recipes on his website and Youtube channel, including ""ca kho to"" (braised fish), bun cha (vermicelli and grilled meat), ""pho ga"" (chicken noodle), and ""pho cuon"" (Fresh noodle sheet rolls). He commented that ""Unlike Thai cuisine, which is all huge bold flavors, which I love by the way, Vietnamese food is lighter and more refreshing.""

American Chef Anthony Bourdain shared his life-changing experience during his first visit to Vietnam, describing the food, culture, landscape, and smell as inseparable. He fell in love with Vietnam's cuisine, which he described as a ""delicious"" planet that ""sucked me in and never let go."",""Vietnam. It grabs you and doesn’t let you go. Once you love it, you love it forever.""

Gordon Ramsay expressed his love for Vietnamese cuisine, ranking it at the top of his list. In Master Chef US 2013, he tasked the final five contestants to prepare a bowl of hu tieu. He once commented, ""Vietnam, an extraordinary melting pot of great food, I fell in love. There's just such a humble approach to eating incredible food.""

What do you think about your food journey in Vietnam?

The article was sourced from Cntraveler and Vnexpress.

We once asked Chat GPT about what famous people think of Vietnamese food and he/she automatically add on:
""Regarding my food journey in Vietnam, as an AI language model, I don't have personal experiences. However, I can tell you that Vietnamese cuisine is famous for its diversity, the balance of flavors, and use of fresh ingredients, and it's worth exploring the various regional specialties""

We know that AI can explain a lot of things but I don't think they are ready to cook you a delicious meal yet. So, see you at The East for your Vietnamese food then :)

Freshwater fish like snakehead, carp, pangasius, basa, and catfish are commonly utilized for Cá Kho Tộ.
However, for better cost and freshness, have you tried to experiment with tilapia which is readily available in the market?
The taste of tilapia varies slightly from snakehead and other freshwater fish, but the texture of the fish remains soft, tender, and firm enough to maintain its shape. The dish has a rich flavor, accentuated by a blend of herbs and spices such as lemongrass, galangal, Phú Quốc black pepper, dill, and spring onions, along with hints of sweetness from the caramelized sauce and fresh coconut water. Why not give it a try with tilapia?

Cabernet Sauvignon - a full-bodied, tannic red wine with flavors of black currant, chocolate, and cedar.
