Bach Dang Canley Vale
Heading out to Cabramatta/Canley Vale is always a favourite for me. Definitely an ethnically rich area where you can pick up something that you would find hard to pick up in any other area in Sydney. Getting out there on a Friday evening tests patience, as thousands head home or out of Sydney for a weekend getaway.
First impressions of Bach Dang are positive. It's bright exterior and lighting instantly endears you.
At 7pm the restaurant is slowly filling up. One thing I found somewhat intimidating about venturing out here in the past was going to a restaurant and perhaps not being able to understand. I was lucky on this night as one of my friends knew the menu quite well and she was in charge of ordering.
Rice noodles was very much central to our dining experience on this night. Firstly we started off with prawn fritter on a stick in which we removed chunks, combined with lettuce, mint and a couple other greens and rolled up into a rice roll. It was a delicious, fresh start to our meal. Being an interactive in nature, you have control of flavours and the amount of meat in each roll.
Next up was the hightlight of the night. Crab vietnamese style. We went overboard and ordered 3 crabs. It was a feast no doubt, and finger licking good to borrow a catch line! The flavouring was not intense to nullify the sweetness of the meat.
Next up it was meats and rice paper rolls again. Like our first dish, this again provided fresh contrast to the crab.
Finally it was a fish soup to finish off our meal. With some secret flavouring and spices coupled with fresh fish chunks, we prepared the soup. About 10 minutes later, I tasted the soup. It was suprisingly tangy and spicy at the same time. It was quite the spectacular end to our dinner.
Service was efficient despite the crowds. As I sat and observed, I noticed some attractive offerings coming out of the the kitchen.
Definitely a place to return and sample new delights
