Dustin Cheverier went on a cycling trip to explore Mai Chau. On the way, he stopped at a roadside restaurant to eat bun cha. After eating, Dustin continued on his way.
After a few kilometers, the foreign customer suddenly remembered that he had not paid yet. He hurriedly cycled back to the shop. When the Western customer appeared, everyone at the shop thought he had forgotten something, the shop owner was confused and did not understand what had happened.
“Sorry! Sorry! I haven't paid yet,” Dustin said in Vietnamese to the owner.
The owner laughed and kept saying, “It’s okay, it’s okay.” “If you forget, you can come back this afternoon or tomorrow to pay, it will save you the trouble of going back and forth,” the owner said to the customer.
The customer kept apologizing to the owner. Dustin was still panting as he spoke, showing that he had tried to pedal as fast as he could to get back.
The short video attracted more than 1 million views on social media platforms with thousands of enthusiastic comments. Many netizens praised the male tourist’s honesty and civility. The shop owner’s warm attitude also made an impression.
According to research, this restaurant is called Pho Vy Nam Dinh and is located in Mai Chau, Hoa Binh, more than 10km from Ban Lac. The restaurant owner shared with VietNamNet that the incident happened about a month ago.
“It was very hot at that time, so when the customer returned, I saw him sweating and panting, and I felt sorry for him. I have seen many customers forget to pay, so it is normal. Each meal is not worth much, people will remember and come back. For example, the customer's bun cha dish cost 30,000 VND,” the restaurant owner shared.
According to her, the restaurant has been open for more than 5 years, with the main dish being Nam Dinh pho. Other dishes include bun cha, pork offal, red wine sauce, rice, etc. She sells from morning until 9 pm every day.
“In the past two days, many people have come to the shop to ask about the incident. Everyone complimented me for being friendly and cheerful. Actually, I think the incident is small, the important thing is that the Western customer was honest and lovely,” she said.
After a trip to the Northwest and learning about bamboo rats, a Western tourist and his friend went to a restaurant in Hanoi to enjoy delicious dishes made from this "giant" rat. He commented that bamboo rat meat is expensive but more fragrant and delicious than lobster.
