Two sisters have teamed up to open a new café, inspired by their family's love of cooking. Boulangerie de Saigon is a chic, laid-back café based on one of the avenues at Sneinton Market.
Aivi Nguyen, 25, and her younger sister Milly, 18, are showcasing their skills in the kitchen, with homemade Vietnamese sandwiches known as bánh mì, noodles, and delicious cakes. Aivi, who studied fashion at Nottingham Trent University, turned her back on a career in the industry, when cooking became her first love.
She said: "The inspiration for this was my grandma had a street food stall in Vietnam. It was a really popular, bustling stall in La Gi in south Vietnam, where she sold chicken rice and noodle soup. They were really famous in that town."
