Am a sucker for beef soup with the refreshing bursts of bean sprouts every couple of bites.
Xelua can deliver it piping hot in a generous serving of beef and cow insides turned edible for weaker stomachs like me. Plain rare beef soup is the popular choice for the less adventurous with the right amount of onions and perfect noodles.
Another fave: spring rolls! Must-have sides if you're a bit starved for one of Vietnam's famous food staples.
The service here seems to vary from the many different servers and they really insist on the tip even before handing over the bank card machine.
I believe in tipping well for the exchange of deserving service and am not too demanding although some of their customers may find this approach rude. I chuckled it off since the older male server forced a smile despite my jokingly "excuse me?!" gesture I gave him. A good sport calls for a good tip.
