I stopped by this shop by accident due to the heavy rain while I was in Saigon, even though I have been wanting to try this dish since my last trip.
Only 7000Vnd for one serve which includes lots of different herbs, cucumber, banana, noodles and rice paper to make your own spring roll and a very yummy brown smelly sauce which I love. You can choose between grilled beef rolled in
La Lot leaves or grilled beef without leaves but this second beef is a bit fatty.
Most of these shops are open from lunchtime till midnight but the busiest time is in the afternoon when people finish work. People sit along the pavement eating this dish and drinking beer or rice wine and I reckon this is one of the best street BBQ dishes in Saigon which is cheap and good.
Grilled beef rolled in La Lot leaves, available on Ton Duc Thang Street.
That looks so yummy! I miss the true Vietnamese food!
ReplyDeleteHa ha! My absolute favorite!
ReplyDeleteThese are so yummy. I recently tried to make them after finding the leaves here in a VN store. They actually turned out pretty good.
