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.
