Crustacean Restaurant


Rice Paper Shrimp Roll filled with poached shrimp, rice noodles, "rau ram" and green mango wrapped in soft rice paper, served with a spicy peanut sauce

Granted the presentation was alot nicer that the other restaurants I have been to, there was really nothing outstanding about this dish.  The roll also fell apart when I tried to eat this, but oh well at least it was a healthy change from all the food I ate earlier that week. 

Prawns with Garlic Egg Noodles

I have heard alot about the garlic noodles here so when I finally tried it, I was pretty impressed.  I felt like I could have a little more garlic though! There were a ton of prawns on the plate so that was fantastic as well.  The serving size was huge and I even had to take some home.  Leftovers for work. Always good!

Fried Banana a la mode

Waaaaaaaay too much flour in the mix.  I hate when restaurants do this to try to make the dessert look bigger than it is supposed to be.  I don't know how you can mess up fried banana, but I guess the restaurant found a way.  As soon as I took a big bite and did not get much banana, I was already turned off.  I was also expecting coconut ice cream with this and got plain old vanilla.  Boo!
