Nowadays, many restaurants have put a lot of effort into their decoration to attract diners with sophisticated and creative designs. Some brands focus on appearance but not quality, making diners feel cheated of "taking pictures". The sweet garden-themed décor of papaya flowers has attracted many female diners, and it is one of the most popular Vietnamese restaurants in Nanjing. However, the level of the restaurant's cuisine is well matched by its outstanding setting.
The restaurant is open, with open booths on both sides of the door, and is decorated with a large number of greenery and flowers, reflecting the powder blue tones, and the ceiling and wallpaper are all flower patterns, making diners feel like they are dining in the garden. The presentation continues in the same style, with some dishes decorated with flowers, and even the napkins and cutlery are painted with the pattern of the lotus flower, the national flower of Vietnam. The service of papaya flowers is also highly praised, the waiter is enthusiastic, the water is added and removed in time, the serving speed is also fast, if the dish does not meet the requirements of the diner, it will take the initiative to redo a copy, which is satisfactory.
In a high-value environment, it is a high-level dish. Pho is a representative dish of Vietnam, and most Vietnamese restaurants use it as their signature, and the papaya flowers are served well. Hanoi locomotive Vietnamese noodles are the most recommended. The soup is made of beef bones and oxtail boiled for a long time, no monosodium glutamate is added, the soup color is light and not turbid, and the lemongrass adds a little aroma, the taste is delicious and pure, and the soup has a solid foundation. The degree of pho scalding is appropriate, the hardness is moderate, and the entrance is smooth. The beef is soft and fragrant, the beef balls and beef tendons are elastic, the beef shutters are crispy, and the refreshing onions and bean sprouts give it a rich taste. The condiments are also more authentic, including millet peppers, lime and basil, which can be added appropriately for those who prefer sour and spicy dishes.
In addition to pho, spring rolls are also a classic dish in Vietnam. Vietnamese spring rolls are different from Chinese spring rolls, the former uses rice husks made of rice pulp, wrapping shrimp, vegetables, etc., so they are also called rice paper rolls, Chinese spring rolls are based on dough, filled with pork and vegetables, and fried. Prawn spring rolls are the most common version, the papaya flowers are large and plump, the taste is elastic and sweet, and the avocado is a variety of vegetables wrapped in a thin and transparent rice skin, rich in flavor. The sauce has been improved, with peanut butter mixed with spicy sauce for a slightly sweet taste. The restaurant also offers a deep-fried version of the shrimp rolls, which are even more crispy. There are also spring rolls flavored with kiwi fruit and dragon fruit asparagus, which have a fresh taste. There aren't many specialties in Vietnam, so in addition to Vietnamese cuisine, papaya flower also offers a lot of Thai food, which is acceptable, but far less brilliant than Vietnamese cuisine.
