CAY TRE (Shoreditch)CAY TRE (Hoxton)

Category: Bistro

After an unsatisfactory visit a couple of years ago I had never been back to Cay Tre. Cay Tre in Old Street and Viet Grill in Kingsland Road have the same owners and I also was not particularly impressed by Viet Grill. But everyone deserves a second chance and I have to say – I was pleasantly surprised and so was my favourite Vietnamese dinner companion N. Apparently the lotus plant symbolizes purity and perfection in Vietnamese culture,a description that would also apply for the lotus stem salad (gỏi ngó sen) (6.5£) at Cay Tre. It reminded me of my all-time favourite,Vietnamese papaya salad,but the lotus stems added another,very pleasant,crunchy dimension to it. It was absolutely delicious,tasting of fresh herbs and a hint of chili and perfectly cooked prawns.  Read more... (490 words,2 images,estimated 1:58 mins reading time)

MIEN TAY (Shoreditch)MIEN TAY (Shoreditch)

Category: Le Budget

Another,Vietnamese restaurant on Kingsland Road,which I tried with N – best friend and lover of Vietnamese food since we went to Vietnam together – after having read some good reviews about it. We went there for a healthy Sunday lunch.

O my god this place is funny! The owners seem to try halfheartedly to rebuild some kind of tropical flora,which they attempt by trapping a wide variety of poor plastic flowers and artificial grass inside their glass tables.  Read more... (266 words,2 images,estimated 1:04 mins reading time)

QUE VIET (Shoreditch)QUE VIET (Shoreditch)

Category: Le Budget

I love Vietnamese. Ever since I’ve been to Vietnam it has been competing with Thai for the first place in my favourite Asian food ranking. I love the fresh taste of herbs together with lemongrass,ginger,fish sauce and chili,and particularly I love the fact that you can eat loads of it without gaining weight. And it’s good for your finances too as you can get high quality Vietnamese food for very little money in London. The problem with most of the Vietnamese restaurant on and around Kingsland Road,the Mecca of Vietnamese cuisine,is the fact that they are completely unsuitable for dates (unless you like having dates in a canteen style atmosphere on shared tables with people queuing into your face).  Read more...
