Ate:
- Vietnamese Fried Noodles - delicious flavour - comes with shrimp
- Pad Thai - very good pad thai - sauce is brown (NOT orange) - comes with shrimp
- Vietnamese Spring Rolls - delicious as expected; nice and crisp
- Pho with raw beef and beef tendon (the raw beef gets cooked in the hot broth) - delicious as usual, comes with the standard bean sprouts/Vietnamese basil/lime to garnish
- Vermicelli with deep fried pork chop and spring rolls - excellent - comes with the standard fish sauce to pour on top
- Samosas - beef samosas with curry - not bad
- Sweet and Sour Pork - I didn't get to try this one, but heard it was good
- Snow pea leaves sauteed in garlic - delicious garlicky goodness
Afterwards, we went to the Chinese bakery a few doors down.
