BEST VIETNAMESE: SUMMER ROLLS

Although the pork rolls here are flavour heaven, Summer Rolls’ eastern philosophy adds to their success in attracting vegos and health conscious eaters alike. From a banana blossom tofu salad, veggie’s only soup and the popular summer rolls, their clean, fresh and flavourfully balanced menu caters to all. My taste buds were delighted and intrigued by the combination of herbs and spices in the dressings and sauces as I bit into crunchy greens and colourful things that can be ingested guilt and etiquette-free. As I triple dipped tightly wrapped moist rice paper rolls into the sweetest hoisin, spicy green chilly and peanut sauces, I wondered why there isn’t one of these gastronomical experiences open in every corner?
