Donald Trump Makes a Surprise Restaurant Visit To Gather Vietnamese vote in Falls Church | USA News LIVE | CNBC TV18
On Monday, to the surprise of many, the former president made a visit to the Eden Center, the Vietnamese shopping and dining destination in Falls Church, Va., where he gave a short campaign speech and sampled dishes from Truong Tien, an exquisite jewel box of a restaurant that specializes in Hue royal cuisine.
“I’m going to buy something beautiful,” Trump said to those inside the restaurant. “I don’t know what it is.”
Among other dishes, Trump ordered banh khoai, a trio of rice-flour shells stuffed with shrimp, mung-bean sprouts and more, which are wrapped in lettuce leaves and served in a taco tray, according to Toan Ngo, a business consultant to Truong Tien. Trump also requested bun thit nuong, a cold vermicelli dish topped with grilled pork and fresh herbs, as well as “rice with seven dishes,” a sampler that shows off chef and owner Thanh Huong Thi Truong’s facility with imperial cooking
Trump’s appearance at Truong Tien was arranged in part by Can Nguyen, a Republican activist and an adjunct professor at George Mason University, said Alan Frank, senior vice president of the Eden Center. Nguyen could not be reached for comment.
The appearance was also arranged by Hung Cao, a retired U.S. Navy captain and a Vietnamese refugee who fled his home country in 1975. Cao won his Republican primary in Virginia and will face Sen. Tim Kaine (D) for a U.S. Senate seat. Trump used his stop at the Eden Center to endorse Cao.
