cơm lam gà nướng Bazan Pleiku — Restaurant in Pleiku

Let me tell you about this fantastic restaurant I found in Gia Lai called Bazan. Now, there seem to be a few Bazan restaurants around, but I'm talking about the one on Lê Duẩn. It's tucked away in a little alley, but definitely worth seeking out.

I was instantly charmed by the atmosphere. It felt very local, with open-air seating and friendly staff. They didn't speak much English, but that just added to the experience for me. We managed to communicate through smiles and pointing, and ended up with a feast!

Speaking of the food, that's where Bazan really shines. I had to try their signature dish - grilled chicken with cơm lam (bamboo tube rice). The chicken was perfectly cooked, juicy and flavorful, and the rice was fragrant and unique. Everything felt very fresh and authentic. It wasn't fancy cuisine by any means, but it was delicious and hit the spot.

Overall, Bazan was a delightful surprise. It's a great place to experience Gia Lai's local flavors in a casual and friendly setting. Just be prepared for a bit of an adventure if you don't...

Beware in mind the chicken can feel chewy for some Westerners but for locals delicious chicken should feel both tender and a bit chewy, but not too soft. We consider soft chickens are industrially farmed. They eat industrial foods. Delicious chicken are naturally farmed. They "run" and eat organic foods so their meat is chewy. They should not look so big and they are not easy to buy in the cities. So guys, pls enjoy the...

I’ve discovered this fantastic place to eat and drink! There is great traditional local food and delicious rice wine. he chicken is particularly tasty. This is probably the only place in Pleiku where you can have a direct contact with the fascinating culture of the Jarai people, from the central highlands of Vietnam. You can also find some interesting traditional handicrafts and hear many fascinating stories about the war a war veteran who can speak pretty good English. This is a truly unforgettable experience! When you get to the restaurant ask for Biem to arrange it all for you... he will make your visit really worthwhile... and please be generous with these wonderful people, ‘cos they...
