Is your mouth watering? You can find this Lechon Asado Vermicelli at Zengo now until end of June. The Zengo Test Kitchen is featuring a special menu with dishes from Hanoi-Havana. This classic Vietnamese dish is
harmonious with tender roasted pork shoulder and sour-orange garlic mojo. Delicious!
Test Kitchen: Hanoi-Havana
offers six plates highlighting the affinities between Vietnamese and
Cuban cuisine. You'll also find lettuce wraps, a familiar
Vietnamese dish, filled with soft shell crab and shrimp, and
drizzled with Kaffir lime aioli in the Cangrejo Enchilado. A dish originating in the North Vietnam region, Cha Ca Thang Long, features a whole catfish with rice noodles, shiso, and black bean chile sauce. Lemongrass Arroz con Pollo
is seasoned with sofrito, a complex flavor combination of Cuba, and is
served with coconut rice and garlic chips. For a sweet ending, enjoy Hanoi Pandan Waffles
flavored with the traditional Vietnamese herb, pandan, and topped with
coconut ice cream, lemongrass whip, and strawberry-guava coulis. This one is so good that I think it is staying on the permanent menu.
In addition to the food, Zengo is offering some fun cocktails to compliment the meal. Aguardiente, a rare Cuban spirit flavored with sugarcane and anise, is featured in the Boba Cafecito,
prepared with iced Cuban coffee, coconut milk, and tapioca pearls. The
daiquiri, a staple of Cuba’s cocktail culture, is enhanced with dark
Cuban rum, lime & fresh cherries marinated in dark rum in the Cereza Daiquiri. The Lemongrass-Lychee Mojito, full of refreshing Vietnamese flavors, features silver rum, lychee, mint and a Kaffir lime drizzle.
Stop into Zengo before June to give the menu a taste!
