<\/span> Central Cabana and Miss Saigon on Central Avenue<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When it closed on Broadway in 2001, the three-time Tony Award-winning musical Miss Saigon had been seen by some six million people during a running of 4,092 performances, making it the sixth longest running show in Broadway history. \u00a0Outside of Broadway, Miss Saigon was opened by 26 theater companies worldwide, translated into eleven different languages and played in 23 countries throughout the world.\u00a0 The epic musical even had an eight performance run in Albuquerque’s Popejoy Hall in 2003.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

During of our inaugural visit to Miss Saigon Bar & Grill in July, 2012, the restaurant was celebrating an eight month run of its own.\u00a0 Though it may not be playing to turn-away crowds…yet, there are some indications this is a restaurant with staying power.\u00a0 It may not be entirely accurate, however, to call it a restaurant and even the “bar & grill” portion of its name doesn’t do it justice.\u00a0 Along with Central Cabana with whom it shares a commodious edifice, Miss Saigon is part of a large, multifarious entertainment complex.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
<\/span> The commodious complex accommodates 400 guests<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

That complex includes a nightclub which showcases live Mexican bands on Fridays and Saturday nights.\u00a0 There isn’t a seat in the house which doesn’t have a view of a large flat screen television (16 of them) on which pay-per-view boxing matches and other sporting events are telecast.\u00a0 A large, full-service bar proffers adult libations of all types.\u00a0 Catering is available for parties, birthdays, weddings and quincinieras.\u00a0 The dining area, easily and by far the largest of any Vietnamese restaurant in the Duke City, can accommodate as many as 400 people and has a professional stage and dance floor.<\/span><\/p>\n

Seating is more functional than it is comfortable, but from the minute you’re greeted at the front desk, you’re literally enveloped in hospitality.\u00a0 The two pulchritudinous servers are normally attired in traditional “Ao Dai,” an ensemble of trousers and a gown that accentuates the beauty and grace of the wearers.\u00a0 The servers are as friendly and attentive as you’ll find in New Mexico.\u00a0 They’ll happily answer any of your questions and provide recommendations when necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
<\/span> Grilled Pork Sausage Spring Rolls<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Miss Saigon’s menu belies the capaciousness of the complex. That’s not to say it’s a small menu. It’s just not as compendium-like as the menu at smaller Vietnamese restaurants throughout the Duke City, some of which have more than 120 items. If it’s true that you eat with your eyes first, the dining experience at Miss Saigon truly begins when you peruse the menu which includes beautiful color photographs of the appetizers and entrees. That’s not something you see at every Vietnamese restaurant in the Duke City.<\/span><\/p>\n

The appetizer menu lists eight items including a “Vietnamese sub sandwich” (banh mi to those of us who frequent Vietnamese restaurants). Appetizers include vegetable rolls which resemble maki (sushi) rolls and a couple of other items heretofore not seen at other local Vietnamese restaurants. Courtesy of the color photographs, you can almost imbibe the fragrance of the steamy pho on the pho menu. Other pages on the menu are dedicated to “Rice Vermicelli,” “Rice Dishes,” “Stir Fried Dishes” and “Vegetarian Dishes,” categories which, were it not for the color photographs, do very little to express the breadth, complexity and deliciousness of the entrees.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
<\/span> Shrimp Sausage in bean curd wrap<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In addition to beers, wines and cocktails, the beverage menu features Pepsi products, but that’s what the unacculturated order.\u00a0 Adventurous diners will opt for Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk or perhaps fresh juice (orange, lemon or pennywort (a member of the carrot and dill family)).\u00a0 You can also have a Vietnamese version of a shake which tends to be much thicker and colder than its American counterpart.\u00a0 Miss Saigon offers strawberry, strawberry with banana, avocado, coconut, sour sop, mango, mango with pineapple and though it’s not on the menu, they’ll occasionally offer durian shakes<\/em>.\u00a0 Durian is not the most popular fruit, even among Vietnamese, because of its reputation for being the most malodorous fruit in the world.\u00a0 It’s my very favorite of all the Vietnamese shakes.\u00a0 Miss Saigon’s version is terrific with a unique bouquet preceding each taste.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Among the appetizers, the grilled pork sausage spring rolls<\/em> are especially intriguing because they’re not commonly offered at many Vietnamese restaurants, the preferred filler being shrimp in one form or another.\u00a0 Similar to shrimp stuffed spring rolls, these include thin noodles and mint wrapped in an almost translucent rice wrapper, but it’s the thinly sliced Chinese sausage that imparts the biggest impression on your taste buds.\u00a0 It’s a slightly sweet sausage with a coarse texture and is as addictive as any sausage known to man.\u00a0 The spring rolls are served with a very light fish sauce which just doesn’t have the personality we’ve experienced in other fish sauce.\u00a0 Its most discernible flavor is sweetness, but it’s not overly sweet.\u00a0 It could use some piquancy.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
<\/span> Steamed Rice Vermicelli Platter with Grilled Beef wrapped in Wild Betel Leaves<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The shrimp sausage in bean curd wrap<\/em> is an interesting starter, first because shrimp sausage almost seems like a contradiction in terms and secondly because shrimp sausage is much more common in Chinese and Filipino cuisine.\u00a0 At first glance, it appears this starter is wrapped in layers of delicate phyllo dough.\u00a0 The fact that anyone can give bean curds the texture and feel of phyllo dough is also intriguing.\u00a0 Insofar as flavor and texture, this, too, is interesting.\u00a0 There is a nuanced flavor of shrimp, but it’s subtle.\u00a0 The texture is chewy yet soft.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Interesting and unique doesn’t stop with the appetizers.\u00a0 The steamed rice vermicelli platter with grilled beef wrapped in wild betel leaves<\/em> was something new to us.\u00a0 At least the betel leaves part of the dish was.\u00a0 We’ve had the steamed rice vermicelli noodles (called patter noodles at May Hong<\/a> and Cafe Dalat<\/a>) before.\u00a0 The noodles hardly seem to be noodles at all.\u00a0 They appear to be more like a one large rice\u00a0noodle\u00a0sheet in a cheesecloth pattern.\u00a0 It\u2019s traditional to wrap the grilled pork (which is already wrapped in wild betel leaves) first in patter noodles then in lettuce leafs with mint, julienned carrots, crushed peanuts and fresh mint leaves inside. \u00a0These lettuce wraps are then dipped in fish sauce.\u00a0 It’s an amazing entree!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
<\/span> Simple, but exquisite pho<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There are a number of dishes available only after 4PM including a couple made for two.\u00a0 The most enthusiastically recommended dish (and not because it’s the most expensive on the lunch menu) is the Miss Sai Gon Special Rice Dish<\/em> with grilled pork chop, shredded pork, meat loaf, egg, pork sausage and shrimp sausage in bean curd wrap.\u00a0 This entree is made even more special because it’s prefaced by a small bowl of simple, but absolutely exquisite pho, the type of pho in which the flavor of the beef stock is enhanced by unctuous marrow and bones.\u00a0 The only additions are dried shrimp, scallions and parsley.\u00a0 It’s such a terrific pho that I know what I’ll be ordering next visit.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

The Sai Gon Special Rice dish is indeed special.\u00a0 It’s also large enough for two.\u00a0\u00a0 From among the beautifully decorated platter, the most surprising dish is the grilled pork, a bone-in pork chop grilled to perfection.\u00a0 The grilling influence is apparent in the light smokiness, but the savory, smoky flavor profile also includes a hint of sweetness I suspect comes from just a bit of brown sugar and fish sauce.\u00a0 In any event, it\u2019s one of my favorite \u201cpork chops\u201d in Albuquerque.\u00a0 The shredded pork is also unique in that the pork resembles noodles in texture and appearance, but has the flavor of dry pork.\u00a0 The “meat loaf” resembles a cupcake.\u00a0 It has an interesting texture–soft and chewy–and unique flavor. \u00a0 The broken rice is intended to be eaten with the fried egg served over sunny side up so the yolk runs down onto the rice.\u00a0 With a little of the diluted fish sauce, it\u2019s a delightful treat.

The highly esteemed Jim Millington, a long-time friend of this blog, contends “there must be a bad Vietnamese restaurant somewhere on this wide earth but I have never found it.”\u00a0 He won’t find it on the intersection of Central and Rhode Island.\u00a0 Instead he’ll find another very good Vietnamese eatery that beckons for return visits.
