Another great meal was enjoyed by a group of LTHers on 3/15.
Happy LTHers at Nha Hang
I won't go into a lot of detail about the individual dishes, but here's a photo essay of what we had:
Woven Rice Cake with Grilled Sugar Cane Shrimp Cake
Lotus Root Salad
Duck Salad
Rare Beef Salad
Of the three similar salads we were served, the rare beef was easily my favorite. In fact, it's one of my favorite Vietnamese dishes in the city.
Roasted Quail with Watercress
Bun Cha Ca
Bun Bo Hue
Mi Quang
Beef Stir-Fried with Sour Mustard
These last two dishes were my least favorite of the night, and I think the reason I didn't like them as much as some of the other dishes had more to do with palate fatigue than the dishes themselves. Both were very bland compared to the other dishes we had, although the sour mustard stems packed a pickley punch and were quite good on their own.
Seeded Crackers
One of the real highlights at Nha Hang are the made in house shrimp crackers served with the salads posted above. These were a variation on a theme and included what appeared to be bene seeds. I'm not 100% sure which of the dishes these were supposed to accompany, but they were very good.
Water Spinach with Presered Bean Curd
Goat Hot Pot
This was truly an outstanding meal, but the real highlight of the night was LTH Forum's own version of The Glimmer Twins doing a stirring karaoke version of Don't Go Breaking My Heart. Love was in the air!
