Lunch with my dear friend, J and her 2-month-old tomorrow baby boy! We went to a relatively new Vietnamese place in town. Beautiful environment and great food.
I started off with a bowl of phở bò - the beef variety.

We tried a platter of regular favourites. Spring rolls (Gỏi cuốn), shrimp, chicken and beef skewers and greenery.
Then moved onto the best dish - Thịt bò lá thơm. Minced beef wrapped in pandan leaf!

Then to finish off, some lime chicken wings and rice cakes.
More than enough for two. My only disappointment was that they don't do my Vietnamese favourite - bánh xèo, but the restaurant is southern Vietnam style and bánh xèo is more northern, although I have had it in Saigon.
