May 2022 Rundown

Since goat isn’t very common in Vietnamese food here, when @EattheWorldLA posted on IG a while back about Quán Ăn 909 in Garden Grove, a Viet restaurant that specializes in goat dishes, I had to try it because of my love for goat meat.
Finally checked it out last night and it was absolutely wonderful. Their cà ri dê (goat curry) was comforting and perfect with its tender goat pieces and eggplant and it came with a fantastic baguette (crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside). The baguette dipped in the curry was so heavenly that I ended up eating three of them. :grimacing: It also came with lime and seasoning salt which it really did not need because it was already seasoned perfectly, imo.
Their BBQ goat kinda reminded me of bulgogi and was nicely charred and delicious as hell with the mint leaves and the dipping sauce which I think was made with bean curd and chili paste. If I had to nitpick, I’d say that I wish the goat was gamier because I personally love that barnyard funk.
All of it was washed down with their very tasty and refreshing passionfruit soda.
I cannot wait to go back and try their goat hotpot and their various goat phở (open-2pm only).
