Love the food here.
I took a friend of mine here today who was skeptical about vegan food but after the meal we had he said he loved it and wants to come back next time.
FYI: we ordered the Banh Hoi Ca as a main and Peking Duck as an entree.
The peking duck came with 4 peking duck wraps. The mock duck was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, much like the real thing, which was encased in some sort of soft tortilla, cucumber, hoisin sauce and a few strands of carrots. This entree is tasty. My friend loved this dish.
We also order the Banh Hoi Ca to share, which consists of steamed vermicelli bundle, Vegan Grilled Fish, plate of fresh organic vegies (salad, bean sprouts, cucumber, pickled carrots and daikon, mint leaves), rice paper and dipping sauces. Note there are two kinds of dipping sauces: mock fish sauce and "mam me" which i can't translate to english. The mam me is the best dipping sauce !
You will have to get your hands into this dish as you're required to wrapped everything yourself. You'll dampen the rice paper, then add the vegies, fish and vermicelli and then wrap it and dip it in your either the mock fish sauce or mam me.
Don't worry each table is provided with hand sanitizer for you to use.
The Banh Hoi Ca dish is good for groups of 2 to 4 people.
I can't remember the price for the Banh Hoi Ca, it's either $15 or $18.
Anyway, my favourite dish here is Com Tam which is the broken rice served with mock pork steak, tofu cake, mock shredded pork (which consists of strings of tofu, taro, chinese vermicelli tossed in rice powder--yummo), garnished with organic vegies and comes with dipping sauce (mock fish sauce) that you drizzle over the rice. priced at $10. OMG it's like the best meal ever.
Serves: Hot tea, delicious fruit shakes, coffee.
Dessert: There are a few dessert selections
There is also a small menu that has western food: such as vegan burgers, vegan nuggets etc.. I have not tried it yet.
FYI:
Cabramatta has more variety and is much tastier than the Canley Heights Loving Hut. Different owners.
The Banh Hoi and Com Tam dishes are served at both places.
I've been to a few Loving Hut restaurants: Vietnam, USA and Australia, and each restaurant has different palettes and its own unique menu based on local ingredients and culture. So far Banh Hoi Ca and Com Tam are my favourite.
Anyway enjoy!!!!
Service is not bad but its not the best service either so thats why I give it 4 stars. read more
