My name is Tai Nguyen from the restaurant Linh café named after my wife
When I live in Vietnam I did not know that French cuisine had so many connections with Vietnamese cuisine
until I start working in a French kitchen.
So I worked in a kitchen as a dishwasher for a while.
And one day the chef says I can cook so I started cooking with him.
My memory of my first French dish? All of a sudden there are so many dishes.
But the thing that impressed me so much is when I smelled pan seared foie gras
The smell was amazing
French cuisine and Vietnamese cuisines have a lot of things in common
Like Banh mi, pâté ... many things!
Some people think French food is heavy because it uses so much garlic and butter
But it's not very heavy, it's just how you cook it.
So it depends how people prepare it for you.
If you have a good chef then the dish will be well balanced and taste good and never too rich.
Why we wanted to take part if Good France? Because we always want to promote French culture.
We like French cuisine. Here at Linh Café we do French cuisine serious.
And, "bon appétit".
