menu

It was a gathering of some sort between my mother and all her sisters, so Aunty Imm is bringing all of us to Vietnam Kitchen for dinner.

There were like, almost ten of us, so we ordered dishes to go with white rice. All the dishes were quite dainty, which is a good thing because we could try more stuffs. Heh.

There were so many dishes that I couldn’t recall their names, so I’ll just post the pictures, k?

Stirfried mixed vegetables

Sesame chicken in Vietnamese style. They’ve got star fruit slices in it!

Tofu in sauce

braised pork meat

Braised pork meat. Yummy, melt in your mouth kinda pork.

lotus root

Stirfried lotus root, carrot and celery.

squids

Squid fritters with spring onions and chilies.


prawns

Sweet and sour prawns.

pig trotters

Braised pig trotters topped with chopped peanuts.

All in all, the food was great. I expected the colourful dishes to be strong in taste but they turned out quite mild and not as spicy as I thought, particularly the sweet and sour prawn in pineapple.

After the meal, the table was cleared to make way for some dessert.

tofufa

We ordered this tofufa (silky bean curd) in syrup made of dates and topped with white fungus and raisins. The bean curd was very silky and sweet.

ice blended

This is highly recommended by Aunty Imm, ice blended red bean. Very refreshing.

coffee

As usual, dad must have either his coffee or tea after his meal, so Aunty Imm recommended this Vietnamese coffee.

All in all, it was a great get together. The dinner was great, the desserts were delicious, and the service was excellent despite the dinnertime crowd. If we had come in a smaller crowd I would have insisted on trying out the pho. Since we are having dinner so, the pho will have to wait.

Oh yeah, this branch of Vietnam Kitchen is a standalone restaurant in Taipan, USJ.

      this aint authenticate Viet cook and more to chinese style as Viet cook is less oil and less sauce.. Vietnam has so less fat ppl compare to Malaysia. I went to Hanoi last weekend and it was wonderful..get real Viet food there!

      Yes, this is not an authentic Vietnamese restaurant, but a Chinese Vietnamese restaurant. Of course, everyone knows how to go to the country itself to get the original food, duh, and I see no point in comparing the amount of fat people in both nation.
