Fantastic grilled beef, battered fried softshell crabs, goi cuon (fresh shrimp spring rolls), cha gio (fried spring rolls), pho bo (beef noodles), pho ga (chicken noodles) bun cha (grilled pork and vemicelli), grilled squid, french onion soup, perfectly done steak and frites, saffron risotto, lotus leaf wrapped fried rice, raspberry granita, cabbage rolls with grilled pork, lobster tagliatelle, chocolate souffle, softshell crab toasties, creme brulee, jackfruit stem salad with crisps, beef cappaccio, crabmeat fried rice, french ice cream, clam rice soup, molten chocolate fondant, coconut custard, soursop shake, vietnamese drip coffee... the list goes on and on...
