what makes Vietnamese food so special? some say is the fresh aromatic herbs and
pungent fish sauce. others say it's the strong roasted iced coffee and a variety
of delicious desserts. it's hard to talk about Vietnamese food without
mentioning its national noodle dish PHO Pho what? it's spell as pho but pronounced
as fuh. yes I love the creative pho jokes as much as the legendary pho.
pho sure, pho real pho gettable, what the pho? The list goes on.
Recently I've been obsessed with cooking
food with lemongrass, a popular herb in Vietnamese cuisine that smells like
lemon. today I'm inspired to go to this Vietnamese fusion restaurants that
really showcases Vietnamese cuisine in a way that goes beyond pho. let's check it out
the Dundas Eden drink restaurant is located at 207 7 Dundas Street in
Vancouver. hey guys here we are at the Dundas eat and drinks and this is
the place I've been dreaming about coming for a while and haven't had a
chance since we had a baby It's
supposed to be a fusion South Asian food so I want to see what it's all about
it has a lot of buzz going on right here so let's check it out now
when you enter the restaurant you feel the vibrant homey vibe, their unique
murals on wall and upbeat music playing it reminds me of a mini cactus club. at
first I was really impressed with the huge selections on the menu which are
reasonable price ranging from $5 to $15 there are over 50 items on their entire
menu including a wide variety of noodle soups and delicious appetizers such as
spring rolls skewers and salad rolls and more importantly the restaurant also
offers a separate vegan menu it would take at least five trips to dundas in
order to sample all of their dishes and fully enjoyed this place in
fact if you have a big appetite you can even take on the restaurants infamous
604 challenge: consume five pound of noodle in 30 minutes for Grand Prizes
however I'm not up for the challenge today. being a dad means that I can not
indulge in too much food and feel sleepy for the rest of the day but I'm ready to
simple on some of the signature dishes including drinks appetizers noodles and
desserts for our family
try to sample
