스토리

이 장소에 대해

Chi Cao는 Trần Não에서 골목 안쪽으로 들어서 있어 입구를 그냥 지나치기 쉽다. 큰길을 향한 간판도 없고, 단골과 입소문으로 찾아온 외국인들에게만 알려진 소박한 공간이다. 내부는 꾸밈이 없다. 테이블에 올라올 음식 외에는 눈길을 빼앗는 것이 아무것도 없다. 그 집중력은 요리에서 그대로 드러난다. 강한 양념이나 가공된 육류 대용품에 기대는 대신, 주방은 재료 자체에 맛을 맡긴다. 파인애플 볶음밥은 기름기가 적고, 잘 익은 밥 위에 달콤한 과육이 어우러지며 절제된 간으로 마무리된다. 탕저우 볶음밥도 재방문을 이끌어온 메뉴다. 가지와 두부를 활용한 여러 요리들이 메뉴를 채우는데, 처음 보기보다 폭이 넓다. 다만 품목에 따라 그날그날 가용 여부가 달라지기도 해 일부 손님들이 아쉬움을 표하기도 한다. 주문 전에 미리 확인해두면 좋다.

Chi Cao는 음식 외에도 소규모 비건 식품을 판매한다. 단백질 바와 두유 등, 집에 가져가거나 식사를 보완하고 싶은 이들을 위한 제품들이다. 서비스는 빠르고 직원들도 친절하다. 영어는 통하지 않으며, 결제는 현금만 가능하다. 가게 앞에는 작은 오토바이 주차 공간이 마련되어 있는데, An Khánh 이 지역에서는 적지 않은 이점이다.

주로 현지인과 건강을 의식하는 외국인이 찾는다. 이 지역에서 흔히 볼 수 있는 강한 양념과 가짜 고기 위주의 채식 요리에 지친 이들이다. 가격대를 고려하면 Chi Cao의 음식은 진지하게 고민된 결과물이다. 즉흥적으로 지나다 들르기보다는 일부러 찾아갈 가치가 있는 곳이며, Saigon River 인근에 모여 있는 세련된 식물성 식당들과는 분명히 다른 결을 지니고 있다.

This is a no-frills joint for some seriously good vegetarian food. Coming from Singapore where the usual interpretation of vegetarian food is fake meats with lots of seasoning, the food here is a refreshing take on what vegetarian food should look like: the celebration of the ingredients. When you bite into the food, you can feel the love and attention that has gone into making it. The seasoning is balanced, the execution for each dish is perfect. This is a place I’d make a special trip to if I want good vegetarian food.

I go to this restaurant for dinner. I order an eggplant dish and a tofu dish. After waiting a bit, the eggplant dish arrives. I wait several minutes for the tofu to arrive, but 10 minutes later, the waitress tells me that it is not available today. She apologizes and was friendly. So I order a different tofu dish, and she tells me that this one is available. I wait, and she comes back ten minutes later to tell me that they don't have any tofu at all today... Why didn't she tell me this earlier and go and ask in the kitchen? I'm usually patient, but the service wasn't good. This wasn't the first mistake at this restaurant, which is why I'm leaving this comment. The food is delicious, though!
