Banoi
Banoi, Bowen Hills
This was a last minute decision to go to Banoi that day. I had a call from my specialist that I had to be admitted into hospital the night prior to my delivery. Guess what was my first question? Can I go out and have dinner first before I admit myself? Luckily the bed manager said it is okay. Lol!
So together with Mr, we went to Banoi at Bowen Hills because there was a deal at Eat Club. It was busy on a weeknight and glad that we made a booking.
Feeling very ravenous as I had to fast from midnight, we ordered quite a bit. For entree, we ordered their 'Imperial Spring Rolls' which are made of crab and prawn. It was crunchy, crispy and indeed very moreish.
Next up, we tried their soft shell crab rice paper rolls served with crab sauce (spicy tomato relish). I thought this was okay as it was quite dry and I was not too fond of the crab sauce.
As for our mains, I had the lemongrass beef vermicelli salad and I was impressed. The beef was just so tender and at one point I was worried whether it was undercooked because they were just so soft. I finished the whole bowl without sharing it with Mr.
He had the beef pho and again, an excellent dish from the team at Banoi. As we finished both mains, we were still feeling quite hungry and ordered an extra dish.
Very curious of their steamed rice rolled pancake, we ordered that to try. It came with pork mince, mushrooms and water chestnut; and with some salad on top (cucumber, bean sprouts and Asian herbs). It was an interesting dish and refreshing. Definitely give it a go if you have not try it before.
We both had a good time that night, especially knowing that the next day will be a big day for both us, welcoming Miss Mabel. The service here can be a hit and miss, which is most likely due to them being busy.
