(Ho Chi Minh) Bếp Mẹ Ỉn ★★★
136/9 Lê Thánh Tôn, Phường Bến Thành, Quận 1, Hồ Chí Minh, Vietnam
- Modern restaurant chain where you could enjoy vairous Vietnamese food, but over-priced considering the service.
Not my kind of Ban Xeo.
We came for Ban Xeo but the menu had only Banh Mi. It turned out to be a restaurant with a simliar but different name, Bánh Mì Mẹ Ỉn, not Bếp Mẹ Ỉn. Well, the number of words was different, but I didn't think it'd matter and the hand-written style was tricky to read.
This is Bếp Mẹ Ỉn, and you could order any meny from those two restaurants because they are in a same brand chain.
Street food with the price of fancy restaurant. A lesson learned: avoid restaurants for tourists.
And there's another restaurant, Me in Noodle. So I've ordered something new from there.

However it turned to be not so much new because the sauce was quite similar to Korean Jjimdak.

Ban Xeo was ok but I already missed Cô Ba Restaurant where I could get something similar with less than half the price. There is a branch also here in Saigon, where we visited later.
I understand how the Michelin Guide picks restaurants, but it doesn't work for some cases, like in Vietname where most of the food is already excellent.
We've got two bills from two restaurants, and also paid in each place.
This is Banh Mi Me In.
And that is Bep Me in.
