Vietnamese
Long queues constantly snake outside this busy Flemington laneway restaurant, but diehard fans happily wait for its signature noodles and flavoursome rice dishes. Spring rolls have the right crunch and delicious filling, while the staple ‘crispy chicken’ balances juicy flesh with wafer-thin crisp skins, both great dipped in nuoc cham. Fried rice has the right wok-fried smokiness and balance of tender chicken, sweetpeas and salted fish, and fried rice noodles with beef the perfect caramelised sweetness. Sweet longan and barley with crushed ice doubles up as both a dessert and a drink, the perfect end to a long-awaited meal.
