Dinner
Chao Tom - shrimp paste grilled on sugarcane, rice noodles, "young banana," starfruit, fish sauce
Good!
Dinner
Lotus salad (with hot pepper, carrot, daikon?, shrimp, crispy fried potato? crackers
Chicken with fried rice
Soup (ground pork, cabbage, scallions, black pepper)
Watermelon (set menu - no choice)
Quite disappointing (though they seated me when I showed up an hour before they opened) - the salad was a little too much like eating a pile of raw onions, chicken undercooked, soup lukewarm
Lunch
Chả cá thì là - Fishcakes with dill - with hot chili paste/sauce
Chả giò - Fried spring rolls - delicious!
Chả - Pork pie - like meatloaf
Cà phê sừa đá - Iced coffee with condensed milk - almost tastes like chocolate

Lunch
Fresh spring rolls - chicken, mint, shrimp, fish sauce
Taro soup - rice, ground pork, white pepper
Shrimp in coconut curry sauce - rice noodles
Grilled eggplant - sweet and salty with scallions, peanuts, toasted garlic? Slight burnt flavor
Lemon juice (diluted & sweetened)
Coffee ice cream - very weak coffee flavor and streaked with vanilla - I think it might have been made by pouring coffee over vanilla ice cream!
Pretty good overall.
