Thanh Dat

Neck and neck, they are flying home, Hoa Tran closes in but Thanh Dat wins out by a chocolate chip at the line in the Vietnamese Cuisine Stakes at Springvale. The prize for the winner, my custom and hard earned in exchange for some easy on the jaw grilled beef cube tomato rice that’s comforting and tasty. Sliced rare beef pho is standard and doesn’t tread on anyone’s toes, the soup giving off a sweet savoury aroma. Healthy chucks of skewered beef that’s been marinaded with fish sauce, spring onion and soy is grilled to take on a smoky char flavour. White strings of vermicelli lies underneath. Three colour drink, a sweet drink which is more akin to an icy soup dessert has plenty of red bean, cendol, mung bean and coconut. Two horse race for Vietnamese food in Springvale. Toss a coin to split them.

3 / 5 yums!
