New Vietnamese American Restaurant Memoire Ca Phe Will Open in Portland - Eater Portland
"At their forthcoming Vietnamese American breakfast cafe, Mémoire Cà Phê, the owners will serve their own version of the McDonald’s Big Breakfast, swapping the biscuit for a pandan waffle. Mémoire Cà Phê uses the fast food breakfast as a culinary jumping off point. Matta brunch favorites will return remixed; for example, the beloved breakfast sandwich — pairing fried egg with American cheese, smashed pork patties, and nước chấm — will trade in its pandan bun for a slice of Nguyen’s milk bread. Le will fill breakfast burritos with fish sauce caramelized pork belly. Nguyen will fill the case with a rotating selection of desserts inspired by childhood favorites, things like black sesame cinnamon rolls. Dam will handle the coffee drinks, leaning heavily on Vietnamese ca phe standards." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
