CoDO Vietnamese Restaurant @ Mid Valley

Co Do is a Vietnamese Restaurant, serves mainly Vietnamese Dim Sum. It is situated at the third floor of Mid Valley, on top of the Little Vietnam. Co Do serves very nice Dim Sum set with 2 ice lime tea or soy milk,two Dim Sum of the day, a salad, a bowl of beef curry vermicelli and a mix vege rice. This set is RM35.00, enough for 2 persons. Besides that, one of my friend ordered single chargrilled beef set which cost RM18.90, also came with 2 DIM Sum of the day,and a free lime tea or soy drink.

Chargrilled Beef set -RM18.90. The beef is tender and well marinated with basil leaves, lemongrass and sesame seed. Vietnamese are famous for their beef, especially this spicy Vietnamese vermicelli (came with the set). The slices of beef is tender and juicy, the soup tastes special, not very hot.

Dim Sum of the day, different from local Dim Sum, pork free,mostly vege. The other one is siu mai (chicken), taste normal only, a bit sweet, taste weird …

Lotus seed pancake, mixture of rice flour and lotus seed in the middle, taste quite plain…
We ordered dragon fruit salad, since Vietnam is mass producing this dragon fruit ad they are famous in using dragon fruit in their daily cuisine. The presentation is nice, dices of dragon fruit seasoned with sesame seed and lemongrass…refreshing…
Overall, the food are not bad…can be a choice for those who look for something different from local food…

They certainly look delicious. Sorry it didn’t turn out as good for you. It’s like me being disappointed in every Chinese restaurants I went where I live. They just don’t serve authentic Chinese food.
The cooking ninja: Authentic chinese food is quite difficult to get unless you venture in the mainland China…:)
hehehe … all I want is something that taste like my mom’s cooking, that’s all.
Most of these restaurants where I live are mostly Vietnamese.
Chinese food is quite easy to prepare, buy a cookbook and learn…since you are expert in cooking …:)
The “halal” kinda spoils it majorly for me… as I understand it Vietnamese dishes are pork-heavy… I had a great time back in Australia, Melbourne where there are scores of Vietnamese food places run by the immigrant community… the ultimate dish for me is CÆ¡m tấm (”broken rice”)… thinking about it now makes me *drool x 1,000,000*
