An An Vietnamese Restaurant

An An's was half empty so service was quick and staff were attentive.  Firstly they served the Tom Yum soup.  And although it looked hot enough to ET, unfortunately it wasn't.

The chicken and taro An An Spring rolls didn't have enough filling for me to taste properly.  Or perhaps I was still disappointed that the chef’s recommended Shredded Pork Paper Rolls were unavailable.

The traditional Vietnamese deep fried fish cake was one large piece cut into slices, not the patties I was expecting.  ET liked how the pepper on the batter contrasted with the subtle flavour of the fish.

My Grilled Lemongrass Chicken on rice didn't have too much lemongrass flavour which was ok by me.

There was enough rice from my dish to share with ET who ordered Sizzling Mongolian Beef.  The dish was brought to our table with the waitress covering her hands with her jumper (health and safety issues, anyone?).  Plus, all that sizzling left oil splatters all over the table.  Luckily there were serviettes on the table and not the cheap thin tissues found at most Vietnamese Restaurants.
