| - So, when my friends heard about this joint, we decided to head over and try their food, since apparently, the chef started his career under the last president of the republic of Vietnam.
We brought a few bottles of wine and beer, sadly enough, they didn't allow us to drink beer in the establishment, weirdly enough, they do not allow beer on the premise so we only drunk wine all meal.
We ordered the raw beef salad, the Shrimp and pork salad, fried frog legs and then coated in butter, Fish based Hot and Sour soup, Sugar Cane Shrimps, Fish braised in Caramel, Caramel braised chicken with lemon grass, prawn in roe sauce as mains. We ordered Flan and Vietnamese jello for desert.
The salads were amazing, please ask for extra chillies tho, they go beautifully with them. The sugar cane shrimps were a juicy, bouncy goodness, they also paired very well with the sauce. The prawn in roe sauce was one of the most succulent versions I've had, albeit a bit small for the price. The Hot and sour soup was too sweet for my tastebud, and I cannot comment on the caramel dishes because I never liked it. My dining companions thought it was ok.
The flan had too much coffee, which gave it a bitter taste, and the jello was perfect, just bouncy enough to have a nice bite.
The service was slow, but extremely friendly.
