My salad

This place is busy.  We get the last table and it is a tight fit; thank goodness we did not bring the kids.

I admire the weird light shades as it has been some weeks since we visited a restaurant with light shades that I could remark on.  These ones are like upside down fishermen baskets and they cast amazing shadow patterns on the roof.

We have often visited this restaurant when it was a much less sophisticated Vietnamese restaurant.  I used to love the rice paper rolls. 

Mark's Laksa

So, we try the Peking duck rice paper rolls and love them - they could be better than the ones at Tatakami further down Glenhuntly Rd and that is saying something.

The service is fast.  Mark orders the Laksa.  You can design your own noodle soup for $10.  What a great idea.  Mark declares that it is not as good as Ah Loys but it is pretty good.  It is quite creamy and could have been a bit warmer and contain more ingredients.

I have a vegie salad and it is fresh and crunchy and swimming in dressing. 

This is a good place to bring the kids and have a Laksa - just book first.

And guess what?  After owning my blackberry for 18 months, I have worked out how to get the flash to work - so these photo's are not as bad as they usually are.
