Tonight we went to a Vietnamese place, and I tried a few new dishes, mostly rice based with beef and pork, and a little shrimp. It was really good! So far, no issues. Hubby and I have been on basically a meat and maybe a veggie for a couple weeks now. It was a nice break.
I don't know the names, but I had a grilled beef appetizer wrapped in a thin rice skin with basil and coriander, and a rice crepe stuffed with shrimp, pork, onions, and served with a sauce and veggies on the side. (Lettuce leaves, and more basil with slivers of radish and carrot.) You chopped the crepe up, rolled it with basil in the lettuce, and dunked it in sauce. (radish hurts me, so I avoided the carrot/radish pile)
Wow that was good!
They also do pork cooked slowly in small clay pots. I think that's going to be the next one we try. ;D The one appetizer we really wanted, but couldn't bring ourselves to order, was quail cooked in butter. It was almost 16.00, but wow did it look good!
