<\/a>I thought\u00a0a vermicelli dish would be a cool choice for the hot weather. A bowl of pho would be nice and light too, but since we had started drinking beer, we didn’t want too much liquid in the\u00a0tummy. My eyes were on the B\u00f2 L\u00e1 L?t<\/strong>, or the Betel Leave Wrapped Beef on Vermicelli<\/strong> ($9.50). I had this dish at Lotus<\/a> in Richmond and absolutely loved it. Rick is always open-minded and adventurous for ethnic food, and he liked the sound of the dish after I described it. \u00a0So we both went for it.<\/p>\n When the\u00a0food\u00a0came, I was a little disappointed at how the beef \u00a0looked. The betal leaves had a much darker colour that’s nearly black compared to the ones I had at Lotus. And taste wise, the lemongrass flavour was present in the beef, but the betel leaf flavour was a little off, and the beef was definitely over cooked. I saw the\u00a0unpleasant look on Rick’s face and felt sorry for what I had picked for him.<\/p>\n I understand that the\u00a0Betel Leave Wrapped Beef on Vermicelli is quite an exotic choice, and it’s probably not their most popular dish. But since it\u2019s on their menu, they should at least attempt to make it presentable and palatable. \u00a0As I would still probably come back here to try their popular dishes, I’m hoping they are putting more thoughts on this particular dish by making it better, or just getting rid of it.<\/p>\n Facebook: Menu and more reviews:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/a><\/a>
