Last weekend I travelled from Mall of Asia all the way to the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf to spen an evening of desserts with Discovery Travel and Living’s World Cafe Asia star Bobby Chinn!

Bobby has run several highly acclaimed restaurants in Vietnam before opening Restaurant Bobby Chinn, including Camargue, Saigon Joe’s in Ho Chi Minh City, Miro, and the Red Onion Bistro in the Hanoi Towers (formerly the infamous “Hanoi Hilton” prison). Now he owns his own Asian Fusion restaurant in Hanoi, Vietnam.

During the evening we were served with Chicago Cheesecake, Camembert Oreo Cheese Tart, Choco Fudge, Warm Chocolate Cake, Lemon Squares and Triple Berry Coffee Cake paired with cafe latte while listening to Bobby Chinn’s funny anecdotes.
