Trough according to Ambrosia

We are a group of Canberrans who have been eating out together for more than 20 years at mainly Asian restaurants, sometimes more upmarket places. The retirees amongst us also have a regular morning coffee group. This blog is primarily a record of where we went, what we ate and what we liked and didn't like. It's not intended to be an extensive and insightful review of each restaurant and each dish, hence comments are often limited to expressions such as "yum", which says it all for us.

This restaurant is fabulous - don't be fooled by the simple name.

The service was very prompt.
Loved the Rice Paper Rolls - very moist and the (accompanying/garnish) salad was very nice and very fresh.

The chilli in the roast duck dish was hot, but the lime juice sauce was great.

All dishes were good but the duck was tops.

The Pad Thai had fantastic flavour.
The Beef Curry was well cooked.

The Calamari is beautifully cooked.

Banana Fritters - Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!
