Abell's Kopi Tiam Manuka - 25 June 2025

Jim, John, Karen, Kim, Ron.

A popular place as always, even on a freezing June night. There are blankets kindly provided at each chair, to put over your lap, to ward off the winter chill that briefly invades each time the door opens. While also wearing a modest coat or jumper, it is quite warm enough. It makes the meal a bit of a fun adventure.

The main courses were all excellent as always.

Between us, we had all four desserts on the menu. They were a fitting conclusion to a great dinner.

A couple of repeats from last time, plus a couple of new dishes. All were great as usual.

Everyone made it to dessert, banana crepe or banana fritter. Both were a perfect end to our very enjoyable meal.

Incredibly noisy - absolutely packed with people really enjoying themselves.

The food was great. The pork belly and the cauliflower nuggets were the favourites.

The desserts were also really good.

A fun night.

All the main courses were really good. Two of us found the prawns to be staggeringly hot and the other three found them not. But either way, the flavour was fantastic.

The desserts were an appropriately delicious end to the meal.

My's Vietnamese Restaurant Garran 16 April 2025

Jim, John, Karen, Kim, Megan, Ron.

Incredibly noisy, once it filled up with people. But no superfluous background music, just the noise of people talking loudly while enjoying their dinner.

All the dishes were excellent.

Dessert was also great.

We were all very full and happy at the end of the meal but would we go again?  The group was divided some said definitely no but only because of the noise.
