And it tasted delicious too. Unbelievably tender when most beefsteak in Vietnam is so tough and chewy. They gave me a serrated steak knife to cut it with but it wasnt really needed as it was so tender.

I really want a 750g rib eye steak, cooked over flame to a medium rare with a nice dark beer lao ice cold.

The only problem wanting that size steak in Vietnam is the huge import tax attached to it making it sometimes dearer than you will pay in your home country.

I don't know where it comes from, but the best steak I've had is at Ti Ti in Binh Thanh. Cooked 谩 point, tender and juicy. Very popular, you may have to queue for a couple of minutes.

The belly wants what the belly wants.....

Pierre, Thanks for that, Mate (j'avais commence en vous traitant en le bon argot, mais vous etes nouveauzeelandais, non?).

A mate of mine is coming with me this time, and he goes nuts if he can't have a good steak every few days. So you've done me a good turn.

Bye the bye, does anyone do a good leg of lamb there?

On the canal where I live is a restaurant specializing in lamb dishes. The owner lived in Greece for 30 yrs and has 3 Vietnamese restaurants there. He is semi retired back in Saigon and has opened a Greek style restaurant. My favourite dish is baked lamb with melted cheese and chips. PM me and I will get back to you.

Will try!

Look good! But the steak is quite tiny, isn't it?

Yes it is the normal Asian 100g serving.
With the import tariff on Australian beef it would be a prohibitive price to serve 500 to 750g portions.

I just read a story about people importing like 1,500 cows from Australia to breed them here. 



Wonder if American cattle would do well here.  They can live in desert-like conditions, such as in B矛nh Thuận Province.

Looks like from reading the article the cows are slaughtered 2 weeks after getting here. So it would seem that American cattle would do just fine here.

thanks for that link THD and that explains the low cost of Aussie Beef now compared to what I was paying for it back in 2009 with a massive tariff attached.
I am back in Melbourne doing a show and when I get back to HCMC next week will do a similar story on the Greek Lamb Restaurant complete with photos and address.

Dirty Pierre, Doing a show in Melbourne! Theatre? If so, should we all give you the traditional "break a leg" good luck wish? If so: "Break a leg!"聽 If not, If not: "Don't break a leg. Come back hale and hearty."

I have to leave Vietnam every couple of months to do my shows then I have money to fund my various charity project's in Vietnam.

DP: Then by all means come back loaded down with money! Perhaps Ba Pierre knows a good Vietnamese equivalent expression for that.

yep I don't have Vietnamese fonts yet. Don't know what com suon and thit suon are called in English but they are goooood. My substitute for steak but nothing beats a good medium rare steak.

Yup, there are no customs taxes on importing live cattle into Vietnam.
