Diners
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.
