Vietnamese is the
choice I always pick whenever I feel like going healthy.
Among numerous
Vietnamese Cuisine in Bangkok, I must say Xuan Mai has unique characteristic. Some
of the food is owner’s original dish which is available at Xuanmai only.
The place is located
near the entrance of Thonglor soi 17. An air conditioned townhouse restaurant. That
means the price is reasonable and the service is friendly.
Our starter was one
of the original menu, Eggplant Crostini with Avocado and Crab meat. Deep fried
Eggplant topped with creamy avocado and crabmeat salad.
Eggplant was nicely
fried and the crabmeat salad was enjoyable with sliced avocado.
It was delectable
that we ordered second dish of this.
We also had Honey
suckle flower salad with Shrimp and BBQ pork. Green Honey suckle flower is one
of my favorite ingredient. The dressing was mild comparing to Thai Salad. This
suits me well as I am not good against spiciness from chilies.
Regular menu to be
ordered at every Vietnamese restaurant. Nem Nuong, grilled pork meat ball serve
with rice paper, green cabbage and assorted veggie & fruit. This was
commonly good. Grilled pork meat ball were big and abundant.
Another delight full
treat was Springroll stuffed with Crab meat and mushroom.
The sheet wasn’t rice
paper, it was woven rice vermicelli called Banh hoi.
The texture after
being fried was finely light and crispy.
Grilled pork with Rice
noodle came in a big bowl. The pork meat was lean and rather dry. Thank to the
coconut milk they use in marinade the taste was rich and intensified.
Vietnamese style
savory Crepe was stuffed with Shirmp, bean sprout and Onion.
I wish the crepe was
thinner and lighter than this. But the stuffing was okay.
We were too full for
dessert. The restaurant gave us complimentary sweet cinnamon tea to finish our
meal. A nice Finale indeed to our healthy meal.
