A part of D**g Da Enterprise (002864516-X) My name is Mai, and I am a Vietnamese. In Viet Nam, my family like most other families, buy food daily at the market in the morning, and sometimes in the afternoon too. It means that all the ingredients are fresh. Vietnamese cuisine is light, uses less oil, always keeping balance between meat and vegies; making it one of the healthiest food in the world.
We use spices sparingly to flavour food, making usage of fresh and high quality ingredients all the more important. My nose & my tongue is really fastidious. They never compromise with bad ingredients. I would drive to a market which is far from my house to get 'ayam kampung' - alive and slaughtered at spot after got selected. The same goes for beef, I would choose either local beef or Australian beef. I can overcome all the hassle, 30minutes to find parking, just to buy eggs in Cold Storage. For me, that's the only place near my area that takes care the freshness of eggs well. Cooking is my biggest passion, besides traveling. My cooking has been trained since I was small by my mother and sharpen day by day. As the one who take care of food and health for family, I pay a lot of attention in relationship between food and health. I prevent from using canned and processed food to avoid glutamate monosodium and other artificial additives. There is no added MSG and no preservatives, no artificial colours and no artificial flavours on our food. I am a full time Area Sales Manager for a company from Netherlands. A little time opening on a weekend is a chance to meet friends and introduce Vietnamese food to others. My cooking is mainly Vietnamese food, primarily Ha Noi cuisine. Each time I will introduce a different dish so you won't get bored with From Mai Home. I am a muslim-convert, all my food is halal. At From Mai Home, everybody gets a warm welcome!
