A couple weeks ago John, I and families went to
Green Leaf Vietnamese Restaurant in Seattle. Rather than the typical Pho menu, or even the common Vietnamese sandwiches, we were treated to a wide variety of food - the likes of which we had never seen! :-) The young coconut juice is really good, but the pickled plum juice was kind of hard to get down (its like salty, fermented plums). We took pictures of some of the dishes - definitely worth a trip over to the International district to try Green Leaf. An the wait staff is very friendly as well.
Vietnamese crepes. Meat and vegetable fillings - you break off a piece of the crepe and wrap it in lettuce and eat it with your hands. The crepe contains coconut milk and is quite tasty.
Noodle dish with coconut cream. This is a cold dish, served as an appetizer.
Spicy mango salad. Thai cuisine has a similar type dish called Som Tam.
Flan in crushed ice dessert.
Rice flour dumplings wrapping bananas, covered with coconut milk.
