A Bright Opening Plate
Banana flower salad showcases the Vietnamese side of our fusion menu — herbal, citrusy, and built around texture.
Tender banana blossom is tossed with baby clams dressed in bright lemon, creating a starter that feels light but satisfying. A crispy rice cracker adds crunch and a subtle toastiness that balances the acidity of the dressing.
This dish works beautifully as the first plate on a shareable spread. It wakes up the palate before richer items like lamb chops or shaken filet mignon, and pairs well with a crisp white wine from our Lucite wine wall.
