Lunch at An Viet Sunway Pyramid

Sunway Pyramid’s dining landscape is vast, but An Viet Sunway Pyramid remains a steady choice for those seeking the clean, vibrant notes of Vietnamese cuisine.

On this visit, the kitchen delivered a meal of contrasting fortunes, where the traditional liquid-gold of their broth fared better than the structural components of their Bahn Mi.

Jen found plenty of satisfaction in her Clam Noodles. The broth was a bright, aromatic affair, balanced with lemongrass and chili, providing a light yet savory backdrop for the fresh clams. It’s the kind of soulful, restorative dish that An Viet Sunway Pyramid usually executes with a fair degree of precision.

My experience with the Banh Mi, however, was a more standard affair. To the kitchen’s credit, the baguette was technically sound. It had an airy interior and a satisfyingly crisp crust that didn't shatter into a thousand shards. Unfortunately, the meat filling lacked that punchy, marinated depth required to make a Banh Mi truly memorable; it was perfectly edible, but decidedly just 'ok.'

To wash it down, I tried one of the beers from Vietnamese craft selection that they had.

The Heart of Darkness is a brewery hailing from Saigon. While it was an interesting diversion into the world of New World hops, it ultimately confirmed my palate's loyalties. I think I shall be sticking to my preferred German beers for future outings.
