Orange Lantern - 22 Jan 2006

Too tired to write much, so here are the pictures first. Vietnamese food on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

3 types of rolls for appetizer


Mango salad

Feast that we had.


Drinks - Vietnamese coffee and Three Colors (aka Vietnamese bubor cha cha)


Beef and beefballs noodles

I like Orange Lantern ever since I first tried it a few months ago. The pho came with the right condiments (very important) which made the dish absolutely divine. The beef is tender and kinda melts in your mouth. The broth is tasty and not too beefy. It could be a bit hotter so that the bean sprouts would be more cooked and less raw tasting.

The appetizers of the 3 types of rolls were delicious, especially the net roll. Crispy and fresh. The spring roll is so-so, nothing special. The paper rice roll is alright, I'm not really a big fan of the rice vermicelli.

The mango salad was absolutely yummy! Tangy but not overly sour. I like the bits of dried crispy fish sprinkled over it. Gives a crunch and refreshing taste.
