Affectionately referred to as the Pho Mile, myself and a
group of friends ventured to Kingsland
Road in Shoreditch to our favourite Vietnamese
restaurant, Mien Tay. Located
just around the corner from Hoxton Overground station, this
family-run restaurant is amongst an array of Vietnamese restaurants which I
have yet to try but all look delicious.
Having
also eaten at the Battersea venue in Lavender Hill, do not be put off by the
aesthetics of the restaurants as they do look a bit run down, but once you step
in you will be blown away by not only the quick and efficient service -
albeit a bit brisk - but more importantly the quality of the dishes.
Now on to the food. For even the pickiest of eaters, there is something for
everyone, and they cater to vegetarians superbly. Although I'm not brave
enough, one of the guys in our group went for the salt and pepper eel which went
down a treat. Personally, my favourite dishes have to be
the Vietnamese spring rolls with nuom choc dipping sauce followed by rice
vermicelli with tofu, chilli and lemongrass and their clay pot curries are to
die for. With just the right amount of chilli and hit of ginger, this sumptuous curry beats a night down the Balti House any day.
