Vietnamese food in Helsinki: A cosy summer experience

May 5, 2021 | 5 mins

World-renowned Vietnamese delicacies naturally immersed among food diners in Helsinki. Not just Pho noodle soup or Banh Mi, there are more special delicacies to savour. Let’s indulge in the city’s favourite summer delight at Be My Guest Ravintola in the Jätkäsaari neighbourhood, to discover the harmonious and indigenous taste between the ocean and the land from Vietnam’s most beautiful beaches with Tapas Oasis dish.

The origin of Tapas

Without a doubt, Tapas has taken the world by storm with its popular fame through the way of serving rather than just the name. Originated in Andalucia, a beautiful southern province of Spain, Tapa means a small portion of food made from in-house ingredients:bread, tomatoes, olives, different kinds of cold cuts, and some greenery.

Tapas vs. Vietnamese food: why not?

Trước lạ, sau quen” is a Vietnamese idiom to express “Stranger at first, now family”. For Spanish people, food is not an experience if it is not shared with friends. It’s similar to Vietnamese culture. To the fullest enjoyment of the Nordic summer, Be My Guest anticipates introducing Tapas Oasis - a feast that provokes awe and serves memories on a plate, also is perfect for sharing.

Tapas Oasis Be My Guest

A diverse geography from luscious deltas, vast oceans to raw highlands, Vietnam boasts numerous breeds of specialities, whose different textures and flavours have found their way into Be My Guest’s Tapas Oasis. The love at first sight with Tapas Oasis is its harmony in colours. A fluffy bed of green salads served on a bamboo tray recalls a tropical vibe. Three different sauces are all freshly made in-house:Nha Trang green chilli sauce, tahini sauce, and seasoned soy sauce. Surrounded on the Tapas Oasis are Be My Guest’s most well-loved dishes that preserve the soul of the sea and the land. The dish features the likes such as Charlie Don’t Surf Salad, Chika Chika Wings, Always Summer Rolls, and Helsinki’s delicious handmade Dumplings Darling and the chef-recommended Shrimp/Squid skewers native to the mountainous flavours of Vietnam. All will then be plated on a layer of fresh vegetables that looks like a beautiful lush lawn.
