fish sauce and phu quoc pepper braised pork belly

I’ve posted this dish before, but this picture is too pretty not to share.

This place is named for their chicken rice, but the best dish on the menu is the pork belly, by far.

Coco Ichibanya is making a strong push, but the first still has the best curry in Saigon, in my humble opinion.

This was at the old Katsu location before they closed and moved to a new spot around the corner. Haven’t been able to check the new spot yet, but the old one was great.

This is actually in Hong Kong and it’s probably the best meal I’ve ever had in an airport.

The curry that started it all. Dai Cham has lost a bit of its charm since they’ve remodeled and spruced up the place, but the curry is still fantastic.

I’d been dying to try Coco Ichibanya for so long and it most certainly lived up to the hype. It’s the only reason I’ll deal with the hassle of navigating Landmark81.

I feel the same way about this curry that I do about the McSpicy Deluxe - I’ve had better, but it can’t be beat for the value and convenience.
