Marcel Thao Dien — Restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City

Ordered a combo menu of one Le mushy Blue burger, with blue cheese sause, shitake mushroom relish, balsamic caramelized onions and spinach, Romsemary lemon drink and some real handcut fries. As an ektra addon some homesmoked bacon and some mayo dip

The waiter even asked how my meat should be cooked which was a big plus in my book

One of the best burgers I've ever eaten. The bun: toasted so crispy that it makes you look forward to the inside of the feed burger and is firm enough that he doesn't drown in the sauce. The meat: at the absolutely most delicious roasting level, exactly as ordered. The sauces and the vegetables: a perfect symbiosis of freshness and cleverly combined spices.

But the onion rings and Pommes Dauphines should also be mentioned, because they are in no way inferior to the burger in terms of quality. If I hadn't already eaten too much, I would have opted for the crème brûlée, which would certainly have been delicious.

I will definitely be back soon, despite the...
