Food and drinks at Azerai Can Tho Hotel

The food, Vietnamese and International, was fresh, enjoyable and delightful. The food is very tasty and delicate served. I am not the expert when it comes to Vietnamese food, since this is my first trip, but I heard from another well travelled guest that the traditional Vietnamese Pho – the rice noodle soup at The Azerai, is the best he had tasted in the Southeast Asia area.
