COSY UP AND HAVE A WARM TẾT AT CHÔM CHÔM
Guests are invited to ring in the Lunar New Year with a comforting Vietnamese Beef Curry, Cà Ri Bò, short rib curry with roasted root vegetables, Vietnamese herbs and crispy shallots. This classic dish, inspired by its Indian counterpart, is generally milder with a rich, creamy and sweeter profile due to the use of coconut milk. Often enjoyed as a family meal, it is served with sliced baguette, a nod to Vietnam’s French influence, and perfect for sharing with friends and family to start the new year.
