i forgot to get the name of this place, partially because i was so in awe of it, it was a massive german brewery, that specialized in serving equally massive parts of pig in some kind of white sauce with overcooked veggies (although I had great tofu there, HA!), here i am being induced to smile by two of the vats (?) where they make the beer, upstairs there were like 30 of these things:
anyway, the reason why i was in awe was not because it was so novel, but because this was the SECOND time in a month that i had been to a place like this, the first time was at tawan daeng in bangkok, brought there by two friends who shall remain nameless (but let's say a world famous photographer and a global figure in the art world), the night was total chaos, with 1000s of thais, a crazy stage show, and pig knuckles, which were the famed reason for going, all in all it was good fun, but the idea that these german uber-breweries are proliferating across southeast asia, even in vietnam is mind blowing!!!
my hosts, however, explained that the place was empty because people here hate to drink beer when its cold, which i guess isn't a problem in bangkok where cold does not exist ...
