Eat This Now – Goi Cuon at PHO 87

[imagebrowser id=1741]

What’s that we said about all Vietnamese food tasting alike?

All it took was one look and bite of these beauties to to disabuse us of that notion.

Unlike too many other versions, these are wrapped to order — not too tight and not too loose — in delicate rice paper that barely holds the rice vermicelli, roasted pork, shrimp and veggies inside.

The slightly sweet tamarind dipping sauce is a big plus too, and beats the pants off the peanut/nước chấm sauce that usually accompanies these summer rolls. Or Spring rolls. Or salad rolls.

ELV isn’t quite sure what the proper nomenclature is, but does know this is the best version he’s had of these tasty little packages anywhere on or near Spring Mountain Road.

Best of all, a complete order, more than enough for two to share, only costs $7.

Just thought you’d like to know.
