This is new Vietnamese restaurant in Newtown

A chef and co-owner of Rice paper Vietnamese cuisine, Anh Lam was the co-owner and head chef of the famous Saigon Bowl Vietnamese Restaurant in Strathfield for over 15 years.

So no doubt, she knows what she is doing very well. Also this restaurant opened this mid September, still got write up from Sydney morning herald.

As I can imagined, food was fresh and even very good portion!

I had young coconuts juice because I was very thirsty when I arrived in restaurant. Young coconuts juice is natural sports drink! Hydrate the body straight away! My boy friend ordered strawberry and lycee smoothie. I have never had this combination. Awsome!

By the way, this restaurant is not vegetarian but when we ordered vegetarian meals, I was asked if it is ok to use egg or fish sauce in advance. Very professional!  It happens quite often that soup stock or sauce contains fish or meat but not informed.

I choose this first

Summer roll 

Summer roll – it is vegetarian rice paper roll , it is the name of restaurant, gotta try it!

( winter, spring, fall roll is also available but not vegetarian ) 

Stuffed with full of fresh veggies- green salads, cabbage, carrot, tofu and my favorite herb! I can tell the roll was made to order, very fresh.

Vegetarian papaya salad

I really like papaya salad but it can be  hard to have vegetarian version. Many restaurants put dried prawn and fish sauce but I am glad I can enjoy vegetarian papaya salad here! Very refreshing, great portion! Freshly julienned papaya with tofu, carrot, cucumber, apple (!) with herbs and crushed peanuts.  So refreshing!

Vegetarian Vietnamese pancake

I love Vietnamese pancake and this is HUGE!!!!!! You can’t tell from photo but it was huge with generous amount of herbs! Three kinds of herbs including my favorite one, with salad and apple.

Pancake is very crispy, yes, it is made from rice flour. Great gluten free choice. Vietnamese is really good for gluten intolerance people. Not only rice noodle and rice paper roll but also pancake.  I have just noticed we ordered all gluten free dishes.

Insides are mixed veggie, mung bean and  bean sprouts. Lots of raw veggies! So healthy and yummy!

Vegetarian fried rice ( not on a menu )

Not oily at all! Love it!  Lots of variety of veggie- carrot, pea, corn, bean, tofu, egg and potato.  It is the first time I had potato in fried rice, well, it is great.

We are two of us, yes, we both are big eater but we were absolutely full! Damn, I ate too much again!
