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
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
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.
Chili crab - seemed to be cooked in sauce, then covered with a breadcrumb-like topping with a spicy garlic flavor
Clams - in thick, slightly spicy sauce
Bamboo clams - topped with fen si and ?deep fried garlic? - meat like a cross between scallops and clams
Stir-fry shallots in a little vegetable oil with Italian seasoning, black pepper, and red peppers. Add tuna, soy sauce, lemon juice, and Chinese vinegar; mix and heat. Serve over penne and drizzle with sesame oil.
