Thanks for the tip! Jetsetting Joyce Hi Brian

It seems that you and Mellie (tummyrumbles) both agree that the fish is good – next time I’ll have to try it. Thanks for the tip!

In fact, my upcoming post is of the same sashimi don that you reviewed a while ago - it's just so pretty! I've always wondered about Mekong as well. My Vietnamese friends tell me it's pretty average pho, yet Bill Clinton had two bowls :) Jetsetting Joyce Hi Mellie

I'm curious about the quality of the other huge array of rice-and-dishes on Swanston Street - can you give any recommendations? Jetsetting Joyce Hi Mellie

When you say the fish was interesting, do you mean ‘bad’ interesting or ‘good’ interesting? :)

I must concur, I too felt it was good value for money. Danny went the java (like you), and I tried the fish, which was interesting. The coconut rice I had was most definitely coconut, so I'm sure you would have tasted it if it were.
