We were here at Gardens Mall to visit the Mid Valley International Food exhibition and as usual, I felt the urge to find somewhere special for brunch. I did not want to eat such a heavy meal as I predicted we were going to eat snacks all the way later. I settled on An Viet, which looks like a new restaurant that substitutes MBC at Gardens Mall LG floor.There is a BIG PHILOSOPHY here : Food too good to waste just eat it! For rice vermicelli or noodles, there are choices of 80g, 100g, 120g, 140g,

There is a BIG PHILOSOPHY here : Food too good to waste just eat it!
For rice vermicelli or noodles, there are choices of 80g, 100g, 120g, 140g, 160 g.
As for rice, the portion choices are 120g, 160g or 200g.
There are also no extra charges for choosing more but there are for wasting food. So we can actually take the chance to save money if we are light eaters which we happened to be that day.
I have always had a knack for Vietnamese or Japanese food which are healthy and not oily.
I ordered the Spring Roll I seem to have a craving for since the previous times I wanted to order it at the Vietnamese Hawker stall in Kuchai Lama, they ran out of it.
Vietnamese Rice Roll (RM 8.90)
The key for good quality rice rolls are soft rice roll paper texture and secondly, the fresh and raw vegetables used as ingredients such as shredded carrots, cucumber, prawns, vermicelli, mint leaves and salad vegetables. When dipped into the small saucer of sweet sauce, it brings one of memory of Vietnam.
Beef Pho (Spicy) The clear soup with some chilli oil on top was a delight. The thin beef slices does wonders to the soul, and a warm welcome for the morning, if your tummy feel like being Asian for the moment. We chose the 140g noodles which turned out to be too little for the two of us as the noodle portion are so little even for that amount so I highly recommend to order 160g for two light eaters. After all, pho does not fill the stomach easily.
Special Vietnamese Coffee (RM 8.90) The weird thing about this is that there was a raw egg added. It turned out to be the best Vietnamese coffee and black coffee I have ever tried. It seems that the egg has done the job of enhancing the coffee taste, it's like bringing out the best out of the coffee.
