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.

Diners

Ron, Kim and Jim

Entrées

Shrimp and crab spring rolls (deep fried) – nice

Rice paper rolls – delicious because the filling was still slightly warm because they were made fresh. The wrappers were not slightly hard from being pre-made and kept in the fridge

Mains

All of the mains were delicious. Most of the dishes contained vegetables (eg sliced carrots and lettuce) which was a bonus for us.

Caramelised pork

Beef with Vietnamese mint

Tamarind fish

Accompaniments

Steamed rice

Wine (brought by Jim)

Anderson Methode Traditionelle Shiraz 1999 750mL (a sparkling red wine) – I had a tasted this time – very smooth (despite the bubbles), lovely aroma, very pretty.

Comment – I love this restaurant. Everything tastes freshly made. It was not crowded at all – just 2 tables of diners that night.
