Hi… I saw you on that Rick Stein show bit and thought you were great and your passion for Vietnamese food was really refreshing! That show, and finding your website and recipes, has inspired me to get more involved (I love cooking but never tried Vietnamese). Thanks Cathy… u rule!

Greets!!

Was wandering cyberspace for cinnamon roll recipes and found yours, planning a fabulous brunch and would like to use if it’s alright?
Enjoyed your site and am catching up on it in tidbits.
Thanx

Hi Cathy

I came across an article in HCMC Asia Life last year that you were featured in (the one with food recommendations from 5 different people). I am a total food nut and the article was very useful when trying to navigate and find good street food in HCMC.

Anyway, one of my friends is off to HCMC and wanted to know where I ate at the last time so I dropped her a list of some of the places we went to. It then occurred to me what a great time I had and i thought i’d drop you a quick email, since I really enjoyed 2 of your recommendations in particular – the beef pho in D4 (btw its quite a fair bit less than 300m down the road) and also Quan 94 (the crab roe vermicelli was amazing).

thanks again and if you are ever in this part of the world (singapore) would be happy to point you in the right direction for food!

Thanks for the news, Peter! I will update my Le Toit Gourmand post. And I’m glad to hear that you had such a stellar meal

hi Catherine,

just back from 5 days in HCMC.

Your info on “Toit Gourmand” is no longer valid. I spent 2 full days trying to locate Gils, a stuborn Danish Foodie will do that, and at last found him after many phonecalls that was never answered, and a couple of long taxi rides.

They moved 3 months ago, changed name and are now “TROIS GOURMANDS” located at 18 Tong Huu Dinh Street, Thao Dien Ward, District 2, HCMC. Phone No. 84 8 3744 4585.

I ate there for dinner and Gils was as charming a host as you would ever find. It was well worth all the effort, food was great and I mean, wow what a wine selection, and how he makes those cheeses in a tropical environment I just don’t know.

good luck next time you go

Peter

Hi Cathy,

Just to let you know that I love your blog. It’s my favourite way to procrastinate

What a neat-o way to address your About Me page! Very old school, circa the chain mail days.

Hi, Cathy,

Just had to tell you how much I love gastronomyblog.com. I found you while searching for reviews of minibar in DC, and my boyfriend and I spent all night reading your reviews of the DC restaurants, then Spain, then Hong Kong. I’m a foodie, but haven’t traveled much, and it’s something that we’re planning on. Your reviews made me want to pack immediately!

Anyway, thank you for the few hours of entertainment (and delicious torture)! Best wishes on future travels and meals!

Layla
