Phamish: Vietnamese, Darlinghurst (4 June 2009)

Shop 109, 50 Burton St, Darlinghurst NSW 2010

Tonight I order my favourite duck and prawn pancakes and also try the soft shell crab which I think is one of the better dishes I've sampled here. The batter is crispy and light and conveniently cut into smaller pieces to easily share the dish. The flavours are subtle yet tasty enough and go well with a good squeeze of the wedge of lime and accompanying dipping sauce. I'm thinking perhaps trying the Green Papaya Salad and a Vietnamese Curry with Prawns next time I visit.
