Thanh Nien, Vietnamese restaurant, Ho Chi Minh City

Saw some locals having lunch here and that the comfy deco. also drew my attention to give it a try.  The dishes may not be too appealing but the cooking method is quite nostalgic, like meat & veggie boiled in hot water first before stir frying.  Also noted is that they don't put in a heavy thickening sauce but the stir fried dishes aren't too watery.  I'm also surprised the dishes aren't too salty, nor too sweat.  However, for those who prefer heavy seasoning and heavy flavour, this isn't the place.

This looks like the one we ate in BKK close to MO that Chris got upset stomach.

That's too much from the lunch actually. The source should be Sala Rim Nam's coconut curry.

Yes food is too good and too much at Sala Rim Nam.
Hope next time still a good deal like this.

Now that I know Chris has a "non-greasy" stomach and next time I'll warn him about those greasy stuff. :)

Thank you Sea.
Chris has a non-greasy stomach with a fatty body, opposite of the three of us. :)

I guess he may not take coconut milk that often. So once if quite a large amount of coconut milk is taken, then his body would react not to absorb it.
