Le Viet

Met Charis for dinner at Siglap. She chose the Vietnamist place called Le Viet. Dats when i realised her mum is half vietnamist.. ie. shes got vietnamist blood in her.. no wonder shes so pretty!

Le Viet ...



drinks wise, Charis recommended their sour plum juice....



... which i didn't order. I went for a soft drink. But after trying hers, not only did i order another the same drink, i ordered one to go after dinner. Its refreshing and not too sweet!

we shared one of their vietnamist rolls.....



if u noticed he beansprouts standing, its actually because i had previously requested for one of he rolls to be done w/o the very strong tasting basil leaves (i think its basil leaves)... so to indicate it to us, the very cute server used a tao gay! haha... den later she came over to tell us.. " i tell u something u dun be angry.. i just found out from the kitchen that all 3 dun haf the leaf " haha.. well, we were not angry coz she was really cute and funny and i didnt like that leaf's taste to begin with. Charis was fine with it as well.

next was the prawns wif sugar cane....



Charis was excited about this dish as well. I felt that the prawn paste was just ok but the sugar cane was really good. haha.. the ends were slightly charred and tasted really good!

the sides given for our noodles....



my 3-in-1 noodles!



comes with beef slices, beef balls and tendon. The tendon was kinda chewy, i like it! the beef slice and balls were just ok.. nothing fantastic. overall the whole bowl was pretty alright.. but i seem to remember that madam saigon's one was much nicer.

Service staff of the place left a very good impression.
