After a lovely afternoon relaxing on my balcony, I decided to get dinner at the place I got my morning coffee from. It's nearby, and the reviews are great. I ordered the Vietnamese crepes with just prawns, no pork, and I explained to my server I can't have meat as it makes me poorly and then asked about the shrimp rolls, and she said ok.
