"Friendship Kitchen founder Trang Nguyen Tan has fond memories of making and eating bánh tét, a savory glutinous rice roll, during her childhood in Vietnam. [...] Last year, Friendship Kitchen and Stem Wine Bar co-owners Trang and wife Wei-En served bánh tét at Alouette — their French restaurant which they have since converted to a second location of Friendship Kitchen — as part of a Lunar New Year prix fixe meal. This Lunar New Year, they will share the dish again, but are planning to include it in a sampler of other dishes, a nod to how Trang grew up eating it. [...] Friendship Kitchen will serve bánh tét at both locations for a weeklong period around Tét, which falls on Saturday, February 10." - Janey Wong
