We met our friends, Karin and George, and walked to Vientiane Cafe, 4728 Baltimore Avenue, Philadelphia, PA, 19143. What a nice walk to a fantastic restaurant!
Be warned - cash only - but the prices are very reasonable!
So excited that Jay neglected to get photos of the first two appetizers:
Shrimp spring rolls - soft rice paper with herbs & vermicelli with sweet peanut sauce
Very fresh and delicious!
Duck spring rolls - deep-fried until golden, served with House sauce
We feasted on appetizers and were extremely happy when we left:
Vegetarian Naam Salad - marinated rice with coconut flakes then tossed with mint, scallions, lime juice, lime leaves and crushed peanuts; served with lettuce to wrap. Cannot begin to describe how good this is!
Shrimp skewers served with 2 sauces.
Home-made beef jerky - marinated pieces of beef with steamed vegetables, served with chili paste. Who knew beef jerky could taste so special?
We all shared Banana-Chocolate Spring Rolls with mango sauce - a perfectly light, flavorful ending to a wonderful meal!
Wines enjoyed:

There was a 3rd wine, but Jay neglected to take a picture. She's slipping. LOL
We must return to try more appetizers and entrees!
