A PM I just received reminded me, that I had posted about the park like setting of the best
eatery we encountered in Vietnam, but had not followed it up with our actual eating experience.

As I had indicated in my previous posting, this is a complex of several restaurants in a park.
Last year we dined here.

This year the ambiance was more intimate in this little two table room, where we were later
joined by a German couple

The food was of course delicious, after all, this was Vietnam. But if you think that it was artfully
presented in my previous photos in this thread, look at this one.

Now isn’t that a splendid bird? (Peacock?)

After the meal we were given right on our table a demonstration on how the decorations are carved.
I did not take any pictures this time, because I had done that last year, but if anybody is interested
I can post a short series of pics. on that too.

Ah yes, before anybody gets the idea, that this dinner broke the bank.... While it was quite expensive
by Vietnamese standards, it was no more expensive than what you would spend here in one of the
medium priced chain restaurants, such as a steak house.

Since we had been here before, we knew, that it would be "up-scale". so we dressed accordingly.
I wore socks in my sandals.
