I managed to snap some pictures with a borrowed compact camera before the food disappeared totally from the table.. :-D
Clockwise from Left-Right: Sorry for the partially eaten Bahn Xeo, Mapo Tofu (Vietnamese style?), Chicken Salad with Vietnamese Mint Leaves (Polygonum), Stir-fry Choy Sum with fresh Shiitake Mushrooms and Braised Duck with House Special Sauce served in claypot.
Now, some close up of the said dishes...
Chicken Salad with Vietnamese Mint Leaves
Stir-Fry Choy Sum with Shiitake Mushrooms
Bahn Xeo-Vietnamese Crepe
Braised Duck in House's Special Sauce
Crispy Apple Tart - Thinly sliced apples arranged into a Rosette on top of cream
Vietnamese Style Hot Coffee & Milk (Ca Phe Sua Nong) using a small Percolateur
Mmmmmmm... coffee & dessert - that's the way to end a lovely dinner :-D I also love their Lemongrass tea which is boiled with fresh ginger, lemongrass and sweetened with honey which you can order hot or cold. It's good for digestion and also breathe freshener after the meal :-P

Hi Ben,
ReplyDeleteIt's true Vietnamese food is different from other Asean countries. It's lighter & more refreshing than Thai cuisine. It's tastes also influenced by French, for example 'cha dum' is a kind of steamed pork paté and usage of percolateur in Vietnamese coffee... and it's not unusual to find Chinese's use of soya sauce besides nuoc mam in modern day restaurants.
The process of making the coffee looks interesting...got to visit the place to know how its done and also its taste.
