…the neon hub blog…

Mien Tay on Kingsland Road is an easy stroll away from the NEON office and lately we seem to be going there more and more, once we went for lunch and dinner.

The food is divine and the service sweet but NEON are stuck in a self-induced Vietnamese Groundhog Day. We can’t stop ordering the same dishes, generally some or all of below – depending on hunger and/or guest.

NEON are putting this down in writing to state that from now will not order any of the below and move on, stepping away from our fix. But you can try them and you should, but be warned they can take a hold on you ….

1. Salt, Pepper and Garlic Squid
   This is the original addiction. So amazing rumor has it one man repeat ordered this dish 7 times in one sitting.
2. Chargrilled Quail with Honey, Garlic and Spices
   “At just £4.50, this (quail) is one of London’s most affordable luxuries” says Love Food Love Drink
3. Fresh Green Papaya Salad with Dried Spicy Beef
   Light, fragrant, bursts of spicy beef, this is perfect balance to order with heavier dishes
4. Sliced Beef with Watercress & Fresh Lime
   An alternative way to enjoy beef, sliced thinly and cooked in the lime juice
5. Seafood Hot Pot
   Perfect sharing/prawn pinching dish, vast amounts of food and a boiling pot of broth to cook it at the table

Full menu can be drooled over here.
