| - By far the best dining experience in a long time for me! Every dish that we ordered was consistently delicious and the flavours went really well together. Definitely a party in my mouth
The decor of this place is so extra that it works...tinsels and pink lights everywhere! Definitely gives out school old vibes. I think most people would describe this place as "hispter." Even though it is a Viet-inspired place, not a lot of Asians (on the particular night that I went), and it had a slight hint of Viet cuisines - I know because I am Vietnamese.
Nice place for family-style dining where you share food, although the portions could be a bit more. Considering the sizes, the prices here are above average. My friends and I went here for dinner and the bill came up to $124 for 3 people including 3 drinks, and 4 dishes (mango papaya salad - tiger ceviche - so fly rice - pork jowl)
We each got their version of a mojito - guava, mango, and lychee - each drinks comes with a can of juice (specific to the flavour you pick); and my favourite has got to be lychee!
Mango papaya salad - the best mango-papaya salad by far! It comes with grilled octopus pieces. Strong peanuts flavour but you can also taste the acidity and it's balanced out with the savoury flavour (maybe fish sauce) and a hint of sesame oil.
Tiger's milk ceviche - their version of "ceviche" where the ingredients (tuna, octupus, avocado, fish roe) are bathe in a bowl of coconut milk which gives a rich, creamy flavour. Has a nice kick from the jalapeno pieces. Comes with taro chips (not enough)
So-fly rice - I like the fact that the server mixes the rice at the table for you. The name is an accurate depiction of this dish - nothing like the normal fried rice I've had. There are veggies but the lettuce pieces give it a fresh taste because they're not normally found in fried rice. Crabs and fish roe are parts of the ingredients
Pork jowl - heaven on a plate!!! Served with 3 big pieces of lettuce which you use to roll. The pork pieces are so tender and juicy and fatty - I'm drooling just thinking about the food. You make your own roll, combining the acidity from the pickled carrots and the fresh lime with the fatty and ginger-ry flavour of the pork, and they all get dipped in a sweet & sour sauce. Nice ending to a meal
HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place!!
