Sunday morning, i filed my tax and headed to the tenderloin for brunch. it's a dive - hole in the wall maw and paw place, paw is the chef and they have dishes from the central region of viet nam.
i love the crispy crunchy crepe filled with pork, shrimps, bean sprouts and mung beans. it's really messy to eat this dish. break off a small chunk of the crepe, wrap it in a lettuce leaf with the herbs, dip it in fish sauce and then it'd be ready for eating.
the crepe here is good, not the best but very few places in san francisco offer this dish so it'll do for now. i also ordered another specialty here - the tapioca starch dumplings fill with pork and shrimp, steamed in banana leaf wrapping. the dumplings are translucent and have a super chewy texture which i love... check it out if you are not afraid of hole in the wall in the tenderloin!
