Cafe O Mai is a Vietnamese cafe that I had heard great things about, so when my friend was in town and suggested we catch up there for brunch I was definitely keen! They have a great vegan section on their menu, though the breakfast options are smaller compared to the lunch options (stay tuned for an upcoming Molly post about those!).
But first, some chickens! My friend was chicken sitting, so we stopped by there first so that the chickens could be fed.
Then it was onto the food! The breakfast menu has both Vietnamese and 'traditional' options, but of course we were there for the Vietnamese. We both ordered the same thing, starting with a serve of rice paper rolls. These were fresh and yummy, and came with a great peanut hoisin dipping sauce.
It was a hot day (you guys, this was back in December last year... that is how behind I am with things), so we refreshed ourselves with some fruity frappes. I had watermelon and lime, and Jen had lychee and mint.
Despite the heat, we both ordered the small vegetarian pho, which was definitely the star of the show. The broth was so good, and it was full of noodles, tofu, mushrooms and vegetables. It was great!
I very much enjoyed my visit there, though it has taken me quite a while to get back! But I highly recommend it.

Chickens!! I want to play with them! You always find the most delicious places to eat. I love fresh spring rolls and pho is an all time fave!
ReplyDeleteThat is some professional level side eye from Dim Sim!
Vietnamese food is so great! We have a few wonderful places in Brisbane, which I am glad for.
DeleteCute chickens! The rice paper rolls sound great, especially with the dipping sauce! Dim Sim looks incredibly not-amused, haha!
ReplyDelete'We are not amused', says the princess. ;)
DeleteThose frappes look so good right now. It's almost too hot here to even consider going out for one though!
ReplyDeleteThey were ice ice baby cold. At least by now you are in a cooler location. :D
