Good Eats

bta87

Just ran across a new place in HCM that has some really good French cuisine at not much more than the going Vietnamese price for a meal. It is called the "Steak Box" and is located at ; 35 Tran Quoc Toan, Phrong 8, Quan 3. The tele is 0903 673 685. The setting is austere, but clean and with Aircon.

Which is how much in the Big City? 

Last time I ate in HCMC, I found an American eatery and porked out.  I think I spent over 100K for one person and I know that's not normal.

THD,
    The prices ran between 45-60K VND. I had a wonderful duck w/ a wonderful berry sauce. For the life of me I can't remember what type of berry it was, I want to say blueberry, but it was not. I also had the best salad with a wonderful tuna. They also serve very reasonably priced wines, beer etc. I doubt you could get a meal this caliber in many places. I know I'm going back.

Maybe strawberry?  Đà Lạt areas grows alot of strawberries.  Haven't had much French cuisine so this sounds like a good idea.

THD,
  Now that I slept on it I remember what type of sauce was on the duck. What the heck does Da Lat strawberries have with anything..go figure. It was a mulberry sauce, and I could have cared less where the mulberries were grown, it simply tasted good.
