I had never heard of Vietnamese BBQ before, so when I kept seeing Electric Piggy (the sister restaurant to Nam) all over my social media, I knew I had to try it out ASAP. So my friends Minji, Daniel, Samuel, and I went there for an early dinner and MY GOD, IT WAS INCREDIBLE:
14-hour smoked beef brisket and 6-hour smoked pork ribs with house BBQ sauce and buttery corn bread
Savoury pork jowl bites served with vermicelli
Crispy octopus with sous vide egg, la lot sausage chorizo, and potato purée
Vietnamese beef stew with premium beef brisket, tomato, carrots, and lemongrass topped with puff pastry
Charcoal grilled lemongrass pork chop on hai nam rice with onion oil
The most tender, melt-in-your-mouth beef brisket and fall-off-the-bone pork ribs. Delectably juicy slices of pork neck. An impeccable combination of octopus and chorizo in an almost carbonara-like creamy egg concoction. A rich, savoury stew of tender beef brisket chunks and carrots topped with a flaky, crispy, golden puff pastry. Juicy lemongrass pork chops grilled over charcoal with perfectly oily hai nam rice. A perfect demonstration of how Vietnamese food is truly and beautifully fusion.
I am apparently making it my goal to try out all the different Asian BBQs these days, and so far, I AM NOT DISAPPOINTED.
