I'd read about the meats at Dang Van Quyen. It was reaffirmation that the lovely hostess at the hotel independently recommended it for dinner. It was a late afternoon start and progressed into a prolonged night dinner.
The nem is expertly handed on the grill and is surprisingly a much less intense colour than what I'm used to seeing around Melbourne. Nonetheless the pork is delicious and self-wrapped in fresh rice paper with herbs, vegetables and fried rice paper.
The star was probably the chewy flattened pork which had a much more intense colour and flavour. After initially eating it in a noodle dish, the second ordering had to be on its own and also served in kebab cubes with salad.
The long walk back to the hotel was well needed under the relaxing sky and even included a walk past a small night food market (although much too full to get anything).
