kick, highlighting all the flavours with a touch of tanginess. A wonderful dish all in all. Next we were presented with some variation from across the globe, in the form of some crunchy Mexican tacos. The first thing one noticed was the distinct smokiness of the chicken, which was complemented wonderfully by the separate tomato sauce. There was then a creamy touch, provided in combined fashion both by the crème fraiche and the Asadero cheese. The beans gave the dish a rounded taste, a certain hickory smokiness and roasted feel to the palate that ended each delectable bite. Next we ventured back to Vietnam and its intriguing tastes, in the form of Vietnamese Grilled Beef. This was a confection of beef pods wrapped in betel leaves that had been left to simmer in a special marinade and were neatly presented with cocoons of vermicelli siders. Very well cooked, tender and flavourful, this was the dish that impressed the team the most because of its distinct taste. The leaves granted it a wonderful dimension and the vermicelli added to the array of textures. Lastly came another classical Mexican dish in the form of chicken fajitas. Presented in a sizzling circular plate, they came flaming out the kitchen, ready for consumption. As we finished mounding the meat on the tortilla and applied the platter of condiments with which it came, we took big juicy bites. The sweetness of the onions first kicked through. This was complemented by the fl avourful meaty hint of the sauce and of course the wonderful touch of the chicken, with a touch of spice. The dish was wonderfully ended with the characteristic aroma of the red peppers. A wonderful combination all in all. Café Mekong is definitely a place worth visiting in the up and rising restaurant filled Soi 94. Vietnamese, Mexican, European and Thai, this restaurant does it all beautifully. Our team was left thoroughly satisfied and look forward to going back soon again. Café Mekong Soi Hua Hin 94 032 903 551 October 15 - November 15 , 2015 15
