Who doesn’t love fresh Vietnamese hawker style food? Just biting into a crispy spring roll or succulent steamed dumpling takes you right to the streets of Ho Chi Minh.
Â
Thanks to misschu a.k.a. the queen of rice paper rolls, there’s no need to board a plane anymore, her little eclectic kitchen and restaurant has finally popped up in Melbourne’s CBD.
misschu (real name Nahji Chu), formally a Vietnamese refugee opened her Sydney café six years ago has since gained cult-like status for her delightfully perfect rice paper rolls, Peking duck pancakes and coconut crush drinks (with an optional dash of vodka post 5pm).
The hip cafe speedily dishes up a delish selection of Vietnamese food with a slight twist like sashimi tuna, and roast duck and banana rice paper rolls; English spinach and tofu, and scallop and prawn steamed dumplings; traditional pork Hanoi deep friend spring rolls; and warm vermicelli salads.
So whether you pull a crate up out the front, dine alongside her enlarged entry Visa replica mural indoors; or simply take-away (electric bike deliveries soon) you’ll be forayed to a far away land courtesy of rice paper royalty.
