Vietnam House, One Utama

Vietnam House is located in One Utama, and one of my favourite places for lunch. It is  not easy to find a good Vietnamese restaurant in KL and I seriously believe this Vietnam House is one of it. They serve ala carte and set meals.

On our first visit, with only 3 of us, we ordered the set meal which is more worth for money(RM16.90) as it comes with the soup, salad, appetizer and a dessert. The set meal comes with Vietnamese wanton which is what I look forward to (below)

 I had the set with sweet sour fish fillet, which  was very good. It was sweet and slightly spicy and goes hand in hand with the steamed white rice served in a very cute clay pot :). Some might find it a little dry, though...

 The soup has a clean, fresh. light taste with tofu bits.

Chicken with Lemongrass is one of the recommendation of the restaurant. It was a curry chicken with lemongrass and chillies is being served in the claypot. A friend opted for the bamboo fried rice. The fried rice is being stir fried and it is then being served in the bamboo. The ingredients includes prawns as well as the quail egg makes the rice even perfect.

The 2nd time we went with a bigger group and had the opportunity to try out ala carte dishes. We ordered 2 types of appetizers, Vietnamese Spring Rolls and Prawn Skewers.These appetizers came authenthic baskets.The spring rolls are refreshing and consist of of some carrot,cucumber,white carrot and prawn, and served with a special dip.

We had the Claypot Chicken Curry, which was quite good. Being an Indian, with our famous fiery tasting curries, I expected a bland curry from Vietnam but they amazed me. Though not spicy, it was aromatic and flavourful. The chicken was cooked tenderly and tasty.

   We had some other dishes, mixed veges and tofu with minced meat which I did not get a chance to get a photo..too bad.

But I made sure I got a shot of the authentic original traditional old school Vietnamese drip coffee.

Vietnam House is somewhere you would go to if you wanted to feel and taste something different, tasty, interesting and somehow light...
