Fried Spring Rolls – Cha Gio [招牌炸春卷]
For the longest time, I thought that if you wanted foreign food nearby your only choice was the McDonald’s in neighboring Caotun. So needless to say, I was quite delighted to be taken out for Vietnamese food at a restaurant near Cathy’s office.
Chicken and Noodles Soup – Pho Mi [雞肉河麵]
The restaurant is called Sīhǎi Yuènán liàolǐ [Lit: Silk Ocean Vietnamese Cuisine (絲海越南料理)] and is located at #101 Jixian Rd. Nantou City, Nantou County [南投縣南投市集賢路101號].
Seafood Spring Rolls – Goi Cuon [招牌海鮮生春卷]
I’m no expert on Vietnamese cuisine nor I have ever traveled to Vietnam, but everything we ordered tasted the same as what is served in Taipei at restaurants that are two to three times more expensive per dish. Everything dish we ordered was between $50NT and $70NT. Their menu had a handful of dishes over $100NT.
Chicken Pan-Fried Noodles – Pho Cao Mi [雞肉炒河麵]
Lemon Grass Beef ﹣ Bun Bo Xao [香茅牛肉乾拌米份]
The iced coffee was far too sweet for my tastes, next time I’ll know to tell them to hold off on the sugar.
And finally this chili sauce made everything delicious.
That looks similar to the great Vietnamese restaurant near us. It makes a great change from all those pork and rice lunch boxes.
that looks pretty good, except they use the wide rice noodles instead of the thin ones.. but lots of variety!
I’m hungry now craving some pho bo. Thanks a lot!
that looks mighty delicous
that looks mighty delicious
Wow…cha gio and goi cuon are my favuorite foods. But at home we call cha gio as cha yo and goi cuon as ban tang. =)
Everything looks and sounds delicious! Especially the spring rolls–I love Vietnamese spring rolls!
