another post about Nam Vietnamese....
Nam Vietnamese is a wonderful place. I posted about it awhile back, but I managed to go there twice while in Houston this past weekend since my hotel was less than 2 miles from it. I went there with my brother Josh once and with my wife Kelly another time. I was struck by how vegetarian friendly the woman that runs the restaurant was. We got Spring Rolls with Tofu; a classic! With Josh I got their Garlic Vegetarian Chicken and he got their Vegetarian Beef in Orange Sauce. I liked mine a lot, but it was almost TOO healthy for me. Josh's was excellent and was significantly less healthy since the 'beef' chunks were deep fried. I ordered that dish when I went with Kelly, but the woman remembered me and gave me Vegetarian Chicken in Orange Sauce instead; she thought I would like to try different things. That is true, but the 'chicken' was not nearly as good as the 'beef'. I wish I had received the 'beef' instead. Kelly got Tofu with Tomato Sauce, which was excellent. I think everything about this restaurant is fantastic and more Asian Cuisine places should take a note of their menu and try and incorporate more interesting Vegetarian Cuisine into their own menus.
