Vientiane Cafe and Vietnam Cafe (2 for 1!) - Not Jersey, but who cares? So GOOOOOD!

In spite of the forecast for snow, Jay and Ken ventured to Philadelphia to lunch with friends, Karin and George. We had a most wonderful time!

We started at Vientiane Cafe for appetizers, which we enjoyed with our white wines.

Duck spring rolls and Vietnamese Naam Salad - so flavorful and addictive!

 

Shrimp spring rolls with two different sauces - yum!

Tom Yum soup with shrimp - spicily delicious!

Beef jerky - yes, we said it! Awesome!

Shrimp skewers - not on the menu. Ask for it. Very tasty.

Sticky rice and mango. Refreshing end to a meal!

We then ventured to Vietnam Cafe, 816 South 47th Street, Philadelphia, PA,  for the rest of our meal, which we enjoyed with our red wines at Karin and George's. What a wonderful way to spend time with friends!

 Charbroiled pork with broken rice. The best that we have tasted! Love broken rice. You must try it!

The crunchiest, spring rolls ever! So tasty!

Grape leaves - very good, but not as good as Ginger's! Sorry Vietnam Cafe.

We will do this again! Looking forward to next month's adventure!
