- At Ho Chi Minh Airport, I tried banh mi. The juicy bulgogi and chewy French bread were a perfect match. Enjoying Vietnamese cuisine with French and Korean influences was a luxury. Inspired, I ordered a Singaporean beer, but only the beer company succeeded in this experiment.

- Bulgogi Banh Mi is a dish that allows you to enjoy the flavors of both Vietnam and Korea by stuffing Korean bulgogi into a Vietnamese banh mi. One of its attractions is also the use of a baguette, born from Vietnam's history as a French colony. The banh mi itself has already become popular within Vietnam's café culture, influenced by France, and when combined with the sweet and spicy Korean bulgogi, it becomes a sandwich that encapsulates a fusion of different cultures. Interestingly, you can enjoy this dish at Tan Son Nhat Airport, making it a luxury to taste this delicious tri-national collaboration while traveling. The author tried the Singaporean beer but found that the successful outcome was for the beer company, perhaps teaching him that life's depth comes from trying things out, although it seems the beer was more enjoyable than embarking on a culinary adventure.
