Quan 88

From work to pub... hungry tummy not such a good idea with $2 pots in mind. Decided on quick viet dinner on Victoria St before heading to The Vic (281 Victoria St) for happy hour.

After hours and hours of trolling through blogs, reviews etc etc. I decided on a list of top Viet restaurants on Victoria that would be acceptable, but decided on Quan 88 due to it's proximity to The Vic. So glad that we did cos it was really good!

We ordered the Chilli Lemongrass squid, a tofu and vegetable stir fry flat rice noodle, rice noodle and braised beef, prawn springrolls and prawn stuffed eggplant.

All up our meal for four came to $60, came out fast, hot and cooked to perfection. Of all the dishes I absolutely loved the prawn stuffed eggplant and thoroughly enjoyed the stir fried flat noodles - although a vietnamese staple in Melbourne, the flavours were so much more vibrant and fresh than what you'd get at other cheap restaurants - such a yummy smoky flavour.

I could take or leave the prawn spring rolls, no one does them as well as Vy Vy on Racecourse Rd, Flemington but will go back for seconds soon!

Oh and my other Viet picks on Victoria Street - Thanh Nga Nine (160 Victoria Street) and Minh MInh (94 Victoria Street).
