Fifty ways with one frog
Ech Xanh — Green Frog — has cooked frog since 2009, and the Nguyen Canh Chan branch brings the full canon to District 1: more than fifty frog dishes, from the classics to the house inventions, in a deep pond-green room.
Why Ech Xanh earns a visit
Four things make Ech Xanh: frog since 2009, more than fifty dishes from one ingredient, a chain that still cooks like a kitchen, and the pond-green room.
