Sunday Lunch at Bawai's Vietnamese Kitchen

When a sudden craving for authentic Vietnamese flavors on a lazy Sunday afternoon brings you to Uptown Parade...

...you just know you can expect the same rich flavors that made Bawai's Vietnamese Kitchen a favorite destination in Tagaytay. With its first branch in the metro located at Uptown Parade, loyal diners of Bawai's Vietnamese Kitchen no longer need to drive all the way to Tagaytay for authentic Vietnamese dishes.

The starters alone are reasons enough to visit Bawai's Vietnamese Kitchen (for more on Bawai's Vietnamese Kitchen, see my previous post, From Tagaytay to BGC: Bawai's Vietnamese Kitchen Opens at Uptown Parade). The popular best-sellers include the Goi Cuon (P 320), traditional Vietnamese fresh spring rolls stuffed with vermicelli, vegetables, pork and shrimps...

...the Cha Gio (P 245), crisp fried spring rolls filled with minced meat, herbs and vegetables...

...and Chao Tom (P 325), with pounded shrimps on sugar cane skewers served with vegetables and noodles for a fresh trifecta of Vietnamese flavors.

The light and refreshing noodle dishes are always a favorite, like Bun Tom (P 360), a dry noodle dish topped with sauteed buttered prawns, vegetables and roasted nuts...

...or the Bun Bo Hue (P 375), a comforting pork knuckle noodle soup with pork belly and beef tenderloin topped with fresh herbs and vegetables. The flavors are light, fresh and delicate, yet perfectly balanced without overwhelming the palate.

Cap your Vietnamese feast with Bawai's Vietnamese Kitchen's Che Dau (P 80), a sweet treat of black mung beans and sticky rice draped in rich and creamy coconut milk...

...or the indulgent Ca Phe Nau (P 90) with Vietnamese coffee-flavored brownie served ala mode with vanilla ice cream. Sudden cravings for Vietnamese flavors? No worries. You'll find it at Uptown Parade.
