Finally Found It, That Long-Missed Flavor! Vietnamese Chicken Curry Bread × Coffee Condensed Milk

I remember when I was little, my Vietnamese stepmother used to make Vietnamese chicken curry bread for us often. It was also my dad's favorite dish. But after I grew up and got married, I rarely got to eat it. One reason was that my Vietnamese stepmother was usually very busy, and when we rarely got together, we'd just go out to restaurants. Later, after my dad passed away... she became even busier, and with her getting older, I felt too embarrassed to bother her anymore; of course, there were also some personal reasons in between, which made it even less likely to have it. Actually, I don't usually eat much Vietnamese food, but for some reason today, I suddenly had an intense craving to relive this flavor. During lunch, I found this Vietnamese eatery online. Although it was a bit far from my office, I decided to go! When I arrived, the place was packed, and it wasn't just Vietnamese people, but many Taiwanese customers too. The Vietnamese owner was very warm and welcoming. The moment the food was served, it smelled amazing, making me eager to dig in. The first bite was incredibly moving! This is the taste!! Vietnamese curry is very different from the usual thick curry. The broth carries the full aroma of lemongrass and coconut milk, tasting mellow and subtly sweet. The chicken pieces were large and stewed to be super tender and flavorful, along with soft, sweet sweet potatoes and carrots. Eating it with fresh basil leaves was delicious. The crispy on the outside, soft on the inside French bread, soaked in the curry sauce, paired with a sip of iced coffee condensed milk, was exactly the taste from my memories! Finally, I specifically added a bit of the shop's fresh chili paste, which made it even more satisfying! After finishing, I took a bowl of cold Chè Chuối (a Vietnamese dessert soup) to go for an afternoon snack, a perfect ending!
