Bun Mang Vit is really two dishes in one:
Firstly thin rice noodles in soup...
Secondly, cooked duck on chinese cabbage salad garnished with crushed peanut, fried onion and my favourite, rau ram (Vietnamese Coriander). You eat them together, a dry dish washed down with the soup.
The duck should be dipped in a lemongrass, garlic, chilli sauce.
Tried it at a new restaurant in Cabramatta, Tan Ky. It's not an easy dish to make because there are so many components and the sauce is so crucial, I was sceptical, but felt like a change.
I was very pleasantly surprised, it was delicious and ridiculously cheap - less than $10.
Hi there. This duck noodle dish looks fabulous and I'm wondering if you know of any other restaurants that might offer it (and the same quality) a little further in than Cabramatta - otherwise it looks like I'm going to have to get out there and sample it at Tan Ky.
ReplyDeleteHim sorry mate, I've looked at a few places outside Cabramatta, and the Bun Mang Vit is just not as good!
ReplyDeleteYou'll just have to wander out to Cabra.
dong ba restaurant in cabramatta at the top end of john street also makes a mean duck and bamboo soup. @art etc, you could try your luck at marrickville though i haven't seen it there myself, or else maybe bankstown.
