The Crustacean

We went with some friends to a modern Vietnamese restaurant in Beverly Hills. Their specialty is seafood (and specifically crab).

We started off with a few cocktails and had and an appetizer plate featuring beef satay, coconut shrimp, crab puffs and dumplings

These were followed up with the main courses pictured below, Roasted Crab, Salmon, Rack of Lamb and Roasted Tiger Prawns with Garlic noodles. The myth behind the Tiger Prawns, the Crab and the Garlic Noodles is that they are prepared in a secret kitchen that only family members and chefs that have worked with the family for 10 + years. This meal didn’t disappoint!
