Eric Khoo helmed “Food Lore” aims to explore a number of social issues throughout Asia, by connecting them with the local cuisines. Dang Di Phan handles the Vietnamese episode, in the most aesthetically poised entry in the series.
Food Lore is available on HBO Asia and HBO
Thang is a young chef working in a restaurant in Ho Chi Minh. One night, he meets Van, a gorgeous stewardess some years older than him, and is immediately smitten. He proceeds on courting her by offering his best dishes and she responds almost immediately, with the two becoming a couple soon after. The imbalance between them, however, is visible from the beginning, as Thang is head over heels for her but she seems to have other plans about how to continue her life. The clash is inevitable, but Van continues to offer her food, while experimenting with flavors that could even be deadly.
