Red Lantern

We ate dinner last night at the Red Lantern in Surry Hills sharing entrees of Goi Cuon and Muc Rang Muoi followed by the mains, Con Dom Hap, Ga Chien Don and Cari De. It was my first time at this restaurant.

Our table was located in the front underneath the restaurant sign although, unlike this photo taken from the internet, the shades were down following a heavy downpour of rain which itself had come as a relief after a day of 41c (105.8f) heat.

It was a delicious meal. Just a pity that the restaurant's popularity meant that there were three fixed sittings last night and there was the slight sense of us being pushed through ahead of the next sitting. We strolled a few blocks up Crown Street afterwards for our coffees.
