[Halal] I was craving for Roasted Duck Rice, friend said: “Let’s go (Viet)Nam!” I’m like “Huh? Apa kena mengena bebek with Vietnamese food?” Turns out Nam is by the same folks behind Kenny Hills Bakers – so the duck rice here is same-same lor..So good ah?
Roasted duck rice
At RM28 – it seems a bit pricey but the portion and quality was good. Duck was tasty – tender, juicy meat with crispy skin. The duck had the right amount of seasoning – enough five spice powder and not too salty. I thought the rice could improve – it was clumpy at parts.The accompanying sweet, savoury and chilli sauces were nice, and the duck rice came with white radish soup.
Chicken rice 
Crispy chicken skin
Friend’s chicken rice (RM28) was pretty good too – the skin was crispy and meat was tender. I concur cause I #cubatrytest also.
Grilled chicken bahn mi with truffle chips
So how about the Vietnamese dishes? The Grilled Chicken Bahn Mi (RM24) were authentic with duck liver pate, and chicken slices were tasty. It came with truffle chips – top points for that.
Crab banh xeo
We thought the Crab Banh Xeo (RM30) were ok-ok lah. Crab meat were well-marinated with heaps of taugeh and served with nuoc cham (dipping sauce made from fish sauce). But we won’t order again.
Otherwise, place was very nice – which to be expected at this part of town. The duck rice warrant a return.
