He does it again: We had the pleasure of attending a couple of tastings at Bambou, Eduardo Vargas' soon to soft-open new Southeast Asian restaurant. Eduardo has taken over the former "duck bar" above his own Azul and converted it into a tastefully dark and intimate space. With the dim lights and Buddha bar music playing over the speakers, we felt like we were at a Dragonfly awaiting our full body massages. What we got instead was a parade of delightful Vietnamese dishes, prepared by Eduardo's veteran chef with years of experience on the Hanoi and Bangkok hotel circuits. There was much gushing over the mango and tuna salad and the glazed pork belly. Traditional favorites such as the crispy spring rolls and the individual bowls of pho were also competently made. Our favorite dish was the seared tenderloin, crisp and flavorful and better than Puxi on a bright, spring afternoon. And of course, Eduardo's famously orgasmic creme brulee was the perfect capper to a near perfect feast.
