Vietnamese

Than Binh, John St, Cabramatta Not the place to go if one is in an indecisive mood, with over 200 choices here. This place has apparently been visited by Cate Blanchett. According to the story from one of the ICU nurses they didn't recognise her, which really says it all about Cabra'. There is no shortage of superb eateries throughout Cabramatta with perhaps the best value eating in the city, $10 being a big spend. 
Pavement Kiosk with no name, Cabramatta A regular supplier of takeaway meals, my favourites being soy pork with rice noodles and salad, supplied with a wee packet of peanuts and a cup of fish sauce dressing. The other is sticky chili beef with shredded paw paw, peanuts and sauce of course.  Deep fried yellow bean 'cake' with a triumphant prawn waving his body from the summit are just incredible and would be a fine hangover cure. I also recently tried some cold rice dumplings filled with tiny prawns still with their shells on, a wonderful contrast in texture to the rice sheet outer.
