MODERN VIETNAMESE BANQUET Cost: $119.95 Saturday 12 May 11-1:30pm Famous for its lively, fresh flavours and artfully composed meals, Vietnamese food and cooking is the true 'light cuisine' of Asia. Abundant fresh herbs and greens, delicate soups and stir-fries, and well-seasoned grilled foods served on, or with, rice or noodles are the mainstays of the Vietnamese delicacies. Even the beloved sweets for snacks or desserts are often based on fresh fruits served with sweetened rice or tapioca. Rarely does any dish have added fats. While the Vietnamese cuisine relies on fresh vegetables, subtle seasonings and rice, Vietnamese cooking also reflects its Chinese and French influences. Using readily available ingredients combining to give that unique hot-sour-sweet combination. Dishes we cook can be eaten on their own or combined to create a banquet-style feast. Chef: Tony Ching
