| - Came here with a big group to try their 7-course Beef meal (Bò 7 món) we also ordered some additional appetizers too. My favourite dishes were:
-Bánh xèo (menu #D01): Vietnamese coconut milk & tumeric crepe containing shrimp, pork, and pickled veggies that you eat with lettuce & mint.
-Gi ngó sen tôm (A12): Lotus rootlet salad with shrimp and prawn chips
-From the 7-course Beef meal, you were given a bowl of warm water for you to soak the rice paper in. Once softened you can add your choice of fillings from the large platter (lettuce, bean sprouts pickled carrots, vermicelli noodles, cucumbers, & basil). Then you add in a piece of beef (whether it's cooking the raw beef in the small stove of soup, using the beef sausage, or betel leaf wrapped beef). Then you can choose to dip it in hoisin sauce (brown & thick), regular fish sauce (clear yellow-ish), or if you're brave... the fermented fish sauce (cloudy light brown). I also really enjoyed the jumbo beef ball, but the Sautéed cube beef with carrots & celery was too oily.
Overall, I really liked making my own salad rolls and customizing the flavours. This was the first time I've tried other Vietnamese food besides Pho & Banh mi and I'm so happy I did!
