La Maison Da Nang

So many colonial signifiers here, from the Frenchness of the first half of the restaurant's name (Vietnam was a French colony from 1887 to 1954 -- the World War Two years notwithstanding) to its second half (Da Nang was where the first U.S. combat troops landed in 1965). Even the address is complicit (Queen Victoria reigned at the height of British imperialism).
