Vietnam Embassy in Delhi opens its canteen for all

The cat is out of the bag now! Every Friday, the Vietnam Embassy in Delhi opens the door of its canteen to all the foodies out there. This piece of story might brighten up your day if you have been searching for Vietnamese restaurants for a while (we know how you feel, as there are not many authentic Vietnamese restaurants around), this spot will put an end to your quest.
If you live in Delhi, the capital of India, you should definitely take advantage of all the perks that this place offers. And when I say perks, it means almost everything that covers travel and food. Also, Delhi being one of the world’s most multicultural cities, you get to experience every shade Indian and international culture. In this context, the food too forms an integral part. While the city offers an array of choices for all the foodies out there, the canteen at the Vietnam Embassy should definitely be visited.
Remember how recently almost all the tabloids were running an article describing an eatery in Hanoi where the famous late celebratory chef Anthony Bourdain and former US President Barack Obama shared a meal of pork noodles and spring rolls. If you too want to get a taste of what they ate, make your way to the back alley of the Vietnam Embassy in Chanakyapuri.

The canteen run by the embassy has been allowing entry to non-embassy public in a bid to popularise their cuisine in the capital. Next time, when you are in the mood to treat your taste buds with authentic Vietnamese cuisine, you know where to go.
