"In the evening of the New Year of the Moon, I was invited to a free event in Phong Dinh, a Vietnamese restaurant known for its exotic meat dishes. When the opportunity came up to try a 12 course menu at the place for free, I jumped on the occasion. The first dish they served us were the Vietnamese fresh spring rolls. It is very similar to Filipino fresh lumps. But here you have to assemble it yourself. They give you a dish of mixed herbs. Another plate with dice carrots, slices of cucumber, bean sprouts.

We went with a big group and a huge appetite. Although they are best known for baked catfish, we have celebrated our food banquet with a variety of dishes. Snake, Alligator, Kangaroo. None of them has thrown me away as much as the catfish, Manilla Clams and Garlic Bok Choy.

I go back to Phong Dinh for the delicious long-baked catfish sluice with basil, pickled carrots and radishes, and with the special sauce drizzled. I enjoyed the wrap production process, although the dunking of stiff rice paper in hot water was a little tricky. I would give this court 4 stars. I would also go back to the fun/quirky friendly service we received from the waiter and the owner. I was very excited to be invited to a variety of dishes made from alligator, venison, boar, snake, kangaroo, plus other familiar dishes. I haven't had many exotic meats before, so I can't compare the taste with other places, but I enjoyed every new dish for its novelty, whether I liked the dish or not. It...
