[第五郡 Q.5] Chicken rice, Cơm Gà Đông Nguyên, 東源雞飯 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

一直覺得在越南吃不到海南雞飯，

有點懷念小時候在台北一度很流行的新加坡雞婆雞飯，

每次到第五郡總是去吃民益火鍋，

總算這一次吃到了我盯很久的『東源雞飯』啦

順道來個簡單的越南文教學  

Cơm 就是飯的意思

Gà 就是雞的意思

Cơm Gà 就是雞肉飯啦（越南文就是要把主食放前面，飯雞、麵海鮮、爐羊肉）

不會念？發財教你～ 更M嘎(ㄍㄚˇ) 對à 那個不是四聲的音調，是三聲的音調哦！

奇怪了越南文不是很多音調嗎？ 對，很多音念了三聲之後，差異就是長長短短還有後面收尾音的差異

你沒來上越文課 發財很難一次跟你解釋清楚，照上面念就對了

There's a famous chicken rice at HCM dist. 5.

Called "Com Ga Dong Nguyen"

The rice taste like south east flavor.

Mixed with chicken oil and steam together.

Taste just wonderful.

Very simple cuisine but taste bring back my childhood memories.

Nope... I'm not going to talk about too much about my childhood.

But I'll give a brief intro about simple Vietnamese here.

"Com" means Rice.

"Ga" means chicken.

"Com ga" means chicken with rice.

Main course in asia is not about the meat.

Is about rice and noodles.

In Vietnam, we say Rice with chicken, noodle with seafood, hotpot with crab...,etc.

在爐火上烤著的精緻小菜？！

在菜單上認不出他來，以至於一個都沒點到...

為什麼會沒點到？因為這次是跟幾位越南好朋友來點的，所以點不了幾道菜，

眾所皆知，越南人就是腰叟ㄋㄟ捧喀噌頂叩叩，

不是啦～吃很少 吃很少 吃很少！很認真所以要說三次

有多麼少？等等上菜的時候再跟各位報告

Traditional pottery roasted dishes.

I have idea which is what... even though the menu enclose Mandarin...

Still I can't recognize what is what...

To be honest... it looks so delicious.

But we don't have enough people to tell them...

I wanna order 1 each from the menu... 

油雞燒鴨叉燒～我不會是走到廣東燒臘店了吧...

Some chicken, duck and  BBQ pork.

非常棒的菜單，中英越都有，但我還是喜歡有圖片的菜單 

Many with Vietnamese, Mandarin and English.

It will better if the menu has pictures...

老闆很用心，餐具都有用塑膠套包起來，感覺不像一般的大排檔餐館

Clean spoon, forks and chopsticks covered with plastic bags.

重頭戲來了 登登登登 各位觀眾

東源雞肉飯

VND 55,000

NTD 70

有沒有 有沒有！這根本貴翻天了

他的量...根本就是嘉義火雞肉飯那小小一碗的量

把他放平而已，但是卻超級好吃，有多好吃

我十分鐘內吃了兩碗油雞飯...真的不誇張，都把旁人嚇傻了...

不過飯就是新加坡油雞飯的那種...偏乾但是粒粒分明的那種飯

不是我們常吃的日本飯

Ladys' and Gentlemen, I give you~~~

Chicken with Rice

VND 55,000

USD 2

That is a traditional one.

But for me the proportion will be more like an appetizer.

If you want to have a full meal probably need order one more main course.

As all you may know, Vietnamese don't eat too much on the regular meal.

They more focus on dessert, drinks, and fruits.

Very healthy... (not my type...)

  叉燒飯（沒有淋上油蔥醬，感覺還是差一味兒～）

越南加什麼醬？當然是加魚露呀～來我們一起想像一下魚露+辣椒+叉燒的味道

VND 55,000

NTD 70

BBQ pork

You can add some fish source and chilies as dressing.

This is what we called Vietnamese Cantonese fusion cuisine.

VND 55,000

USD 2.

越式麻婆豆腐(辣 很辣 非常辣)

然後不懂為什麼跟五個小女生出來，竟然大家一起吃，吃不完一份麻婆豆腐？！

你說這巴掌大的麻婆豆腐...怕是在台灣...一個五歲小娃兒馬上就嗑光了吧

VND 50,000

NTD 62

Mapo Tofu with rice

VND 50,000

USD 2

Bill in total, around VND 500,000. USD 22

Now you know what I'm talking about.

The proportion in Taiwan... probably... for 3...

Just USD 22 for dinner. My Vietnamese friends said they are all pretty full after the main course...

And that is for 6 person...

If you ask, I will definitely come back again.

It really taste very good. Simple flavor and reminds me the days back to my hometown.

[第一郡 Q.1] Broma: Not a Bar ⭐️⭐️

Weel instead of focusing on Phuc Long.

Today introduce a night bar -Broma: Not a Bar.

Well I don'g quite know this one well.

Since we only spent 40 mins that night there.

(We've been annoying by the other customer next to our table.)

Entrance fee cost us VND 50K / pax. 

But the music is good. 

The cocktail is also good.

It is just besides the corner of Bitexco.

So it's a nice place to chill out with friends at the city center.

老實說要不是6人行裡有個28小妞

我真的是...人生去夜店的次數，屈指可數呀～～

從台北Luxy 大學酒舞會去過那麼一次，

再來大概就是剩下在大陸讚啾點的日子～
這裡音樂氣氛都非常的動滋動滋
適合喜歡動滋動滋的人

但是對於發財來說...這樣簡單裝潢的店
竟然要跟女生收入場費一人五萬塊（約70台幣/人)
實在是太坑爹了～
這裡來一次就夠了～ 要叫我來第二次 沒門兒
但還是會推薦給喜歡動茲動茲的朋友們
所以勉強擠出2顆星給他
當然愛好者還是可以給他滿天星囉

This is the easy decor of the bar.
Some lights, some drinks, some music and some friends.

非常簡單簡單低成本的裝潢
鐵皮屋 聖誕小燈泡 投射燈
一杯飲料 幾個朋友 聽著音樂
動茲動茲動茲動茲...好這真的不是發財可以接受的地方
40分鐘～ 結束 閃人～

外頭的景色倒是還不錯

也許跨年的時候很合適呢

[第一郡 Q.1] Le Corto ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

在寫網誌之前，先交代一下發財之名從何而來，

20 年前～在一個風雨交加的跨年夜～

那年 . . . 故事是這樣的

OOXX OOXX

因此 . . .

認識了我生命中最重要的朋(酒肉)友(朋友)，也就此結交了20年

讓我遇上了小說裡出現的那種，平常不需要一起花天酒地

但是任何時候，只要有需要，隨時可以給(一)對(起)方(搞)支(腐)持(敗)的摯友。

講重點：在某個又是風雨交加的中秋夜

我外派工作進入第二年，在某藍底白字F開頭的一社群軟體，

出現了『發財，中秋快樂，東南西北中，在此祝你生日快樂 @北投亮亮家』

從此發財正式成為桌上乾泳的第六咖，東南西北中『發』白的發財

It is my 3rd year in Vietnam already.

However, still never had a chance to try the French Cuisine.

Today, finally, I went to Le Corto a French restaurant at District 1.

C'ést ma première fois trying French cuisine in Vietnam.

The restaurant is also well decorated and is like a lounge bar that open in the evening.

The A/C seems not function correctly today, the A/C was leaking water drops at several area on the second floor.

Besides that, the food here at Le Corto is overwhelmingly delicious.

We also found the waitress here also speaks French fluently.

Therefore, there are also lots of customer here are french.

Le Corto is a French restaurant and they serve set menu and Sunday Brunch Buffet.

VND 650K / Pax (around USD 28) EXCLUDE DRINKS!!!

For me the food quality and the options here comparing the price at French restaurant is out of expectation.

I'll say Le Corto also becomes my primary choice here of French cuisine in HCM.

來了越南也第3年了，倒是第一次在越南吃法國料理，

畢竟對法國料理的刻板印象就是：貴、吃不飽、要吃很久

就是個花錢找罪受的想法，造成我3年了還沒吃到呀～～～

不過這次只花了我1000大洋的台幣就搞定

而且還是料好實在的法國菜吃到飽耶～

你說你說 這種好康的料理 走過路過 發財怎能錯過？！

Very romantic interior. Sunny day, white wine and oyster as an appetizer.

Couple enjoying red wine with striploin steak.

Bon appetit! 

Little tips here, if you prefer to enjoy the real french brunch.

Recommend to take the seat at ground floor. 

As there's no further room for buffet plate. Therefore, the walking, talking and noise only at 2nd floor.

However, if you are same with Phatsai, who came for brunch not targeting on chatting...

Then 2nd floor is the prime choice which is close to where the appetizer and some cheese plate at.

Ground floor

Second floor

週日才有的Brunch buffet 喔

除了直接陳列在餐廳的開胃菜冷盤外

菜單上提供熱食，但是基本上就是個法國菜節奏

雖然是無限量的點，經過我們六個gossip girls的精密計算

基本上點一輪就是要等1小時，

從11點開始供餐到下午3點，最多就是4輪，不多也不少

正常人不會先點甜點，都是先點熱食

也就是說最後一輪要保留給甜點，再扣掉一輪Max 3輪

好大氣呀 all you can eat實際上就是法國菜的節奏 頂多吃上3輪 餐廳絕不虧

而且吃法國菜，誰會去催菜呀！一催下去 不就Low掉了嗎！

所以這點常識我們也還是有的，只好拼命的吃開胃菜，所以第1輪主菜上完

大家也都飽了...基本上吃到第2輪 我們就決定可以開始上甜點了...

Bruch buffet is at Sunday only.

The main course is full of selection from Foie gras ravioli, fish pasta, striploin steak, see bass, lamb shoulder and seafood plate.

All from the well known french cuisine bible.

The dessert here we've tried.

Well... I can only say we are not here for dessert and so do most of the visitors here.

Therefore, not quite recommended.

Drinks here are excluded from the buffet.

There's a separate drink menu, served with red wine, white wine, cocktails, whiskey, soft drinks, fresh juice, coffee and tea.

Plenty if options here. See the picture of the HOT A LA CARTE.

Honestly speaking the decor on the dish... not as impressive as expected.

However, comparing to the price I'll give it 4 stars.

(STOP saying my standard is not even at the average... 

Je suis en Asie. Coût et valeur, c'est ce que le marché asiatique se soucie!)

老實說上面那層泡泡並沒有給我比較好的食慾...XD

以下料理 就跟著菜單排序啦～

開胃菜冷盤區

Appetizer area

Vietnamese style spring row.

越式春捲與法式沙拉開胃菜

Asparagus and boiled chicken chest.

蘆筍與雞胸肉非常清爽，滿滿的一整把的蘆筍超級清脆解膩

Seafood area

Fresh oyster and shrimps

任任道：西富是不是師父？（好fashion呀~)

新鮮生蠔以及超大隻的大頭蝦（超甜的）

Meat area

肉食動物取餐區

這個肋排，可惜了，如果熱熱的吃，多好呀

Ribs are cooked at a European way.

It taste a lot better than the American way.

Slightly dressing with rib source instead of thick source dressing glueing on the meat.

However, it will be a lot better if we can have the ribs heat up first...

難得來吃法國料理，總不能拿的跟大嬸一樣尖尖一大盤吧

當然也要跟貴婦一樣 美美的擺的漂漂亮亮的呀

吃到四盤才等到我們的第一份熱食呀

你說說這法國菜 實在不是我們這群女工的菜呀

一小時就4盤 辛辛苦苦才等來熱食呀～

When in Rome do at Roman's do.

We do enjoy a lot of girls talk here during the meal.

Try not to focus on the speed of french restaurant style for serving main course.

By the way, one of the best part of the cuisine here.

Which is the Bread!

It taste a lot better than the French cuisine I've tried in TW or Paris.

So i will definitely come back again.

Coffee Latte

Cheese Cake

起士蛋糕

這裡畢竟不是蛋糕店呀

Mmm那個起士 吃起來很有奶油的口感...有點膩

餅皮有點過甜...還是...七郡的IMD cafe裡的cheese cake好吃些

在這裡附上本月Lady's Lunch的照片

外加一帥氣小少爺因為爸爸要出差，所以要開心的跟媽媽相依為命一週，
