Tonight my sisters and I ate at a local Vietnamese restaurant called Viet Garden which is on Liverpool road. My sister Antronella is a regular there I believe it was her 3rd visit this month!
I was really excited to have my starter of crispy, salt and pepper ribs and for my main a beef pho which was just what the doctor ordered as I'm not feeling 100%!
Now I really want to say that I thoroughly enjoyed my dinner but I must admit I've had better and I did find myself comparing it to my favourite place - Au Lac in Highbury.
I found their ribs a little over cooked and dry and my beef pho was OK (not what my doctor ordered!!!) it's only saving grace was the fact that the coriander was big enough for me to pick out! Unfortunately I haven't much to say about it as I didn't find it memorable :(
In a funny way I feel bad that I didn't enjoy the food as much as my sisters do (as you can see from my photo!) but then again that's just my opinion especially as my sister Antronella told me it reminded her of her trip to Vietnam (surprisingly!!!) and my sister Marie-Royce raved how much she missed dining there whilst living a jet set life in LA...
I feel like I must be missing something here, because that's not how I felt when I saw the bill. I did find myself surprised at having to pay £20 for a forgettable meal and if you know me then you'll know that when it comes to food that I never look twice at the cost... Except when I don't think it's worth it!
