Sao Nam, Bukit Bintang, 25 Tengat Tong Shin, 50200 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Oh. Sweet. Lord. If you're ever in KL you must eat at Sao Nam. 
I've never had Vietnamese food before, so I appreciate I cannot judge on authenticity, but if this place is anything to go by, then Vietnam is my next holiday destination. Did I say holiday? I meant, I'm moving there tomorrow. 

The decor is simple and unassuming, the vibe is relaxed, and veggie options have a page unto themselves.

My friend and I shared the vegetarian spring rolls - light, full of flavour, and the delicious caramelized coconut sauce was a nice touch. 
She ordered coconut lamb with rice for her mains and once again, fell into the silence of good food. 
I ordered the vegetarian clay pot. One more time: Oh. Sweet. Lord. It was good...it was very good. I might even go as far as to say, that it was one of the best dishes I've ever eaten. 

Pudding was frozen banana with coconut milk and chocolate - less amazing, but an alright finish. That being said my recommendation would be to go to Sao Nam hungry, order too many starters and mains, devour everything then waddle to somewhere else for dessert. 


Price: 155.00 MYR (£31.00) for 1 starter, 2 mains, 2 glasses of white wine, dessert, government tax and service charge.
Veggie Friendly: 5/5
Food: 5/5
