Listen up beef lovers. If you're partial to Japanese wagyu, An Viet has a pho-nomenal deal on-going until 31 January 2024.
Starting from just RM34.90 per serving, you can savour
sliced premium A5 Japanese wagyu imported from Tokushima, Japan for An Viet’s
signature pho. Served in a hot stone bowl, components for the beef noodles are
served separately, allowing you to customise it to your own liking. It comes on a compact tray; the
hot stone bowl keeping the broth constantly hot throughout your meal.
We added noodles
into the piping hot broth first as per the instruction card. If you’re unaware, An Viet’s MSG-free pho soup base is
deeply flavourful as it has been painstakingly simmered for 12 hours using two
types of beef bones and various spices. The resultant broth forms the basis of the
restaurant’s signature noodle dish. Next, we added in the beansprouts, fresh herbs,
shredded lettuce and basil leaves. Since I opted for the honeycomb tripe and
beef ball combo, these went into the broth too.
Instead of simply throwing in the slices of A5 Japanese wagyu, I
prefer to swish the tender, marbled beef slices in the hot soup until they are
cooked to desired doneness. A squeeze of fresh lime juice lent the final touch
before I slurped up the noodles along with the delectable beef.
For a tantalising dimension, I found adding in a
dollop of An Viet’s housemade sriracha sauce didn’t go remiss either.
While we were waiting
for our pho to be ready, we feasted on Mini Savoury Vietnamese Pancakes. Filled with prawns and minced pork, the
little bowl-shaped turmeric and coconut pancakes tasted sublime when eaten wrapped
in fresh lettuce and herbs. The
accompanying Vietnamese dipping sauce enhanced their deliciousness further.
Most of the set
meals at An Viet comes with a trio of appetisers comprising Sugarcane Prawns, a wedge of Fresh
Spring Roll and Deep-fried Spring Roll. Made from a hundred percent minced
tiger prawns, the sugar cane skewers are always a surefire palate-pleaser.
The two types
of spring roll also proved moreish; the former featuring rice paper rolled with
tiger prawn, vermicelli, homemade pickle, fresh veggie and herb whilst the
latter, deep-fried rice paper roll with tiger prawn and pork mince filling, proffered
crispier texture.
Suffice to say,
a meal at An Viet never disappoints.
