Mr Anh Local Vietnamese Cuisine Restaurant @ Da Nang in Vietnam

Finding food is always a necessity when I am overseas but it can be a headache, especially when we have nothing planned! Usually, I would just launch Google Maps to source for top-rated eateries nearby.

And that's how we got to know of Mr Anh Local Vietnamese Cuisine Restaurant, which was directly across the local-favourite market; Cho Con Market.

Coming to this restaurant reminded me of our visit to the historical town of Hoi An a few days ago; where the placement of many lanterns was a visual highlight that mesmerized the eyes!

The eatery didn't stinge on just one photo backdrop for their customers; there's another one that was decked out with bundles of colored incense sticks! Again, thoroughly captivating.

Even the interior reminded me of Hoi An; with its golden yellow shade walls that were iconic for the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Boy do I miss Hoi An.

More photographs of the interior where 3D decor and artifacts further reminded us of Hoi An. Overall quite tastefully presented although when it comes to restaurants, a high priority for the review has to come from the taste of food! 

Larue Beer - starting with a bottle of Vietnamese beer! And for a restaurant, I was surprised to see the bill as it only cost me slightly less than a Singapore dollar, before tax! 

Village Style Fried Rice - looking more like claypot rice yet tasted like normal egg fried rice that was a tad too chewy for our liking! What I enjoyed, however, were the thinly sliced pork belly! Not overly fatty with a nicely spiced crispy skin! 

Morning Glory Stir Fried with Garlic - cooked just right with crunchy stems, my only grouch was how large this plate was! It's a disbenefit to me as I don't like to waste food, and sadly, we didn't manage to clean it up! 

Deep Fried Crispy Prawns Batter - when I saw this on the menu, I knew I had to order it as the prawns reminded me of those old school fried prawns with puffy crisp shells that I love love so much when I was a kid. 

A nostalgic walk down memory lane; good enough for me to feel that the dip (custard, cheese chilli) wasn't even required. And for ten decent-sized prawn, this cost less than S$10! To be accurate, it was about S$7 before taxes! 

=====

With just two persons, one of whom is known to be picky, I had to be very selective in what I could order. The menu was quite extensive and I am sure I would be back in May 2025 for my second visit to Da Nang!

Especially after seeing how the non-Asian family next to us was enjoying their food!
