To celebrate our hard fought for 3rd place position in last season's netball league we decided to go for dinner to congratulate ourselves! The requirements were somewhere we can have fun, get drunk and was relative cheap and therefore BYO.
We settled on a Time Out recommended Vietnamese restaurant in Shoreditch called Mien Tay. We arrived with our booze filled bags clinking and was ushered into a dingy looking room next to the main restaurant, this place is nothing to look at but we were there for the delicious and well priced food. The place was packed out within 20 minutes and the Cava meant the atmosphere was great too.
The menu is extensive and it was difficult to decide but I know what I love from Vietnam so for starters I went for a traditional crispy pancake filled with pork, prawns and and bean sprouts. It came with a delicious sour chilli dip and a huge amount of greenery on the side including whole branches of mint. I also shared some of the best crispy spinach I have ever eaten, loads of it perfectly seasoned with a slight hint of garlic.
This was followed with Pho (a Vietnamese broth with noodles) with sliced beef which was perfectly cooked. My favourite thing about Pho is the extra ingredients on the side so you can add as much extra chilli, bean sprouts and lime as you like.
From what I can remember we had a brilliant night filled with great company and tasty grub! As you can see our netball team shooting duo Hayley (Goal Attack) and chloe (Goal Shooter) had a great time too.
