Fried imperial rolls – Mekong Kitchen

Fried imperial rolls - Mekong Kitchen
“Wrap and Roll” pork vermicelli noodle roll and fresh lettuce with nuoc cham dipping sauce. $6.60
Mekong Kitchen, San Francisco CA

These were different from other imperial rolls. The fried wrapper of the roll had a different texture than I’m used to and the roll itself tasted mostly of oil. I don’t think this was my favorite.

I was looking for something different for lunch, so I decided to give Nepalese food a try. this was very good and different. The sauce on the gurkha chicken was delicious and I loved the firm texture of the MoMo dumplings.

I really enjoyed this (even though my arteries say “no”!). The country steak was nicely fried and the gravy was tasty. The hash browns were also nice and crispy and not greasy. NOMS!
