Buddha Jazz

I’ve been meaning to try this place out for a while and eventually went with the ex last week. It’s another Vietnamese place – they seem to be popping up everywhere now. It’s a lot more trendy than your typical Asian, family-owned restaurant and I was pleasantly surprised by how nicely decorated it is. There’s one main room with a smaller long room at the back, presumably used for private parties but I can see myself sitting in there in the day sipping on coffee with a good book in the near future!

They have the usual things on a Vietnamese menu… spring rolls, soft shell crab, pho noodle soups, Vietnamese chicken curry and also some dim sum. I wasn’t too hungry so I went for the Banh Xeo which is a thin, crepe-like pancake filled with pork, prawns and bean sprouts and served with fish sauce and fresh herbs. It was so tasty and actually really healthy as well. I can’t wait to go again to try the other things on the menu!
